What it is: Smashbox's Wish For the Perfect Palette ($59) is one comprehensive set with 96 shades, including 64 shadows, eight cream eyeliners, six brow powders, and lots more.

Try it if: You're wanting to give (or receive) a higher-end set of beauty goods in non-fussy packaging.

Take a pass if: Since the kit also includes brow wax, a complexion brightener, and a highlighter, it's tough to pass this one up.
