Similar to how we sense it's winter when Starbucks breaks out the Peppermint Mocha, we know it's the holiday season when Sephora releases the Ultimate Blockbuster. Its 84 eye shadows and 60 lip glosses alone are worth the under-$50 price — the entire kit is valued at $400!

The eye shadow and face pans in this palette are conveniently labeled, to help beauty novices become makeup pros in no time. Hint: Use the darker shadows to ring in the New Year with a dramatic flair.
