Rare Beauty Mabel Mora’s Must-Haves is a new, limited-edition gift set that was created in collaboration with the hit Hulu show Only Murders in the Building. The set was $30 and included a full-size Tinted Lip Oil in Delight and an exclusive shade of Soft Pinch Liquid Blush in Resilience. The total value of the set is $43 and I ended up purchasing it plus got the new free Merlot Mini Puffy Tote Keychain with it which made it a cute little steal. Right now rarebeauty.com has 20% off sitewide and this is out of stock but so are the Rare Beauty Holiday 2024 Gift Sets. I do wonder if after the Friends and Family Sale is over if all these items might restock? Sets like the Mini Blush and Luminize Trio are still available at Sephora.
If the Rare Beauty Mabel Mora’s Must-Haves does pop back up I’ll give you a heads up but here are my review and swatches for those who might be interested.
I’m probably one of the few people that doesn’t lose their mind over the Soft Pinch Liquid Blush! But this set does include a limited-edition shade called Resilience and it called to me because it’s such a pretty Fall shade. This is a deep, rich, warm sienna. It has a rich brown undertone and I think it’ll make anyone with tanned or darker skin look incredible. It might be a little too much for those with lighter or light to medium skin tones. I’m still on the fence how I look in it. I think it would look amazing paired with a peach or golden peach highlighter. I haven’t yet tried that as for this review I tested it on its own. I went with a shimmery copper on my eyes when I created my look below as I thought it would compliment the blush and it did.
Now, for the bad news…! As I said, I’m not a big, big fan of Soft Pinch Liquid Blush. I realize it’s a HUGE favorite in the makeup world but I do find it a touch difficult to work with. It’s JUST too pigmented. Even the smallest amount is too much. And as a person who’s very heavy-handed with blush it can be overwhelming to blend this out not to mention it does seem to dry and set so very quickly which gives you little time to blend it out. The color lasts and lasts and lasts and lasts without fading no matter the temperature outside. It’s really a long-wearing formula that’s super pigmented but I do think the pigment works against folks like me who tend to overdo things. That being said, if you can get just the smallest amount onto your cheeks it’s a very nice shade! I’m not sure if it’s ideal for my light-medium tone as I mentioned above it really is going to pop on those with a deeper or warmer skin tone.

The set also, includes Tinted Lip Oil in Delight. Delight isn’t exclusive and is a permanent shade. I remember when these launched and people were raving on and on and on about them. I think the watery gel formula can be interesting if you haven’t tried Korean or Japanese makeup. However, if you have been exposed to brands from Korea and Japan this formula is pretty standard in a lot of different watery stains across the board. It’s a thin yet creamier gel consistency that has an almost watery texture. There really isn’t anything oil about it even though it is described as an “oil-to-gel” formula. It’s lightweight, not sticky nor tacky and feels very lightly hydrating. At first, it provides a hint of glossiness to lips but as it dries down and the day progresses it turns into a stain that lasts for around four to five hours. The shade Delight is a rosy brown but be warned it does apply sort of gray mauve at first but as it sets it turns into a pretty brown-based rose.

Rare Beauty Mabel Mora’s Must-Haves is a limited-edition gift set featuring a full-size and exclusive Soft Pinched Blush in Resilience and a Tinted Lip Oil in Delight. The set has a $43 value and is priced at $30. It was created in collaboration with Only Murders in the Building which Selena stars in. This is a delightful little set with beautiful fall shades. Resilience is a super pigmented, long-wearing sienna shade that’s brown-based which will look incredible on medium to darker skin tones. It’s VERY pigmented and very long-wearing. The fact it’s so pigmented does make it a touch difficult to blend as it does dry down quickly and you really need to be very light during application! The shade might be a touch too deep for fairer tones! I’m still a little on the fence how I look in it but I think if I had a bit of peachy highlighter it’ll really pop! The other item included in the set is Tinted Lip Oil in Delight. This is a rosy brown shade with a watery gel-like consistency that provides a hint of glossiness and color on lips that wears down to a longer-wearing stain (four to five hours of staining and about an 30 minutes of shine).
