If your morning beauty routine needs an upgrade, look no further than Thrive Causemetics’ newest bundle, which includes one of Katie’s makeup-bag staples. She swears by Thrive’s cult-favorite mascara, which she raved about in a (completely unsponsored) TikTok. “It stays on really well and I just really like it,” Katie said as she applied this beloved product, which makes lashes longer and thicker — and is effortless to remove, with just some warm water.
But Thrive’s Ready in 5! Gift Set offers even more than its stellar mascara: The set combines the brand’s four best-selling essentials, designed to get you polished and out the door in under five minutes — no mirror, no brushes, no fuss. For anyone who’s ever attempted to use an eyeshadow brush in the backseat of an Uber, this set is about to become your new hero.
So what’s inside?
The set includes the aforementioned Katie-favorite Liquid Lash Extensions tubing mascara, which is made from a smudge-proof formula that boosts longevity and natural-looking length. It’s the kind of mascara that stays put — even when you can’t — and never flakes or smudges.
That’s not all, though: You’ll also score a hydrating lip tint, waterproof eyeliner, and an undereye brightener. Think of it as your entire makeup routine distilled into a compact, travel-friendly bundle. Each product is designed so you can easily swipe, smudge, or glide it on in seconds with your hands — without blending sponges (or YouTube tutorials). Even better, the formulas are buildable, so you can opt for a minimal morning glow, or add a few extra layers for a slightly more glam look, making this set perfect for after-work events or holiday festivities.
While we highly recommend this set as a time-saver just for you, it’s also an excellent choice for holiday gifting. Whether you’re shopping for a beauty minimalist, a frequent traveler, a makeup newbie, or a friend who always claims she has “no time,” this collection feels thoughtful and luxe without requiring any guesswork. It’s the definition of practical gifting — something they’ll actually use, possibly every day.
Beyond Thrive Causesmetics’ incredible products, the company’s mission is equally commendable: Each purchase goes toward causes that matter, such as uplifting patients going through cancer treatment, supporting local women’s shelters, or funding 600 more partner organizations that are in need. (To date, the brand has donated over $150 million in funds and products.) So while Katie’s stamp of approval is invaluable, you can also feel good knowing you’re supporting a brand that cares not just about products and formulas, but about the bigger picture.
