Top Beauty Gifts to Grab from the Sephora Holiday Sales Event
It’s Sephora’s LAST BIG SALE of the year - and only 3 days left until it ends on Monday, November 11th. The Sephora Holiday Savings Event began on November 1st, and is now open to ALL tiers of shoppers - from 30% off entire Sephora collection, 20% off for Rouge status, 15% off VIB status, and 10% all insider status. Today I’m mainly focusing on the special gift sets and holiday items that make easy gifts to give for anyone on your list that is a girly-girl or just loves beauty.
This is because, if you are vowing to get ahead of your gift giving list (like I am!) then purchasing items like self-care gifts are a thoughtful way to provide a spa-like experience at home. These types of gifts result in much needed moments of zen for the recipient (or yourself of course) during this time of holiday hustle + bustle!
I wish I had made this post sooner, as I’m sure some things will sell out, but I’ve gone through their website (so that you don’t have to) and have chosen some of the beauty items I think we should snatch up before this incredible sale ends. *And even if you read this AFTER the sale has ended, a lot of these gift set suggestions are still wonderful ideas to grab and have great value - just sayin!*
Here are the reasons to love this sale:
- it’s the perfect time to restock on your essentials like fave moisturizers + concealer
- try out something new in skincare/makeup now that the seasons are changing
- to get ahead of your shopping list and also get an ecard to Sephora so that they can buy what THEY want!
- and to treat yourself to that expensive fragrance you’ve been eyeing
- even if some items are sold out now, you can click on “Notify me when back in stock” and you’ll get an email as soon as it comes back - which most of these gifty items do
So let’s explore Sephora’s Holiday Savings Event together and go ahead and add to cart before prices go back up….Make sure to put in code : SAVINGS at checkout to get your discount.
30% OFF ENTIRE SEPHORA COLLECTION. This is big savings and I promise you - the quality of the Sephora collection items are top notch. My personal favorites to buy from this collection would be their best selling Super Glow Vitamin C + E skin serum, $21, and also their longwear lip stains, $16. Gift set wise, I’d treat someone to their incredible Face Brush Set, $39 (you get every essential - a foundation, concealer, highlighter, blush/contour brush, and powder brush) and their Holy Sheet! 20 piece Face Mask set, $50 which is very impressive!

Now I gotta know - who has actually started tackling their holiday shopping list OR are you still dragging your feet?? And in case you missed it, check out last week's beauty post: How to Nail the No-Makeup Makeup Look
Great gift ideas…both of my DILs just had babies (❤️❤️❤️), so while they get back to their pre-pregnancy weight, clothing gifts are impractical. But, both of them love to pamper themselves with lotions and potions ( mothering kids will do that).
I have started buying gifts….get each of my ( now 6) grandkids a Christmas ornament every year…those have been ordered. Other than that, nothing….…and I just realized there are only three shopping weeks between Thanksgiving and Christmas…it’s gonna be a busy December!
Cheryl I totally 100% agree with you on pampering your DIL’s with lotions and potions – what a great gift for that in-between stage as a new mother! You saying that there are only 3 weeks between Turkey day and Christmas just really hit me – I need to do better on the gift purchases pronto!! thanks for the comment 🙂
Thank you for the great suggestions! I bought the Fenty stick foundation you recommended in your last post and I love it. I only wish it had sunscreen in it. If you have time for a post on primers it would be so appreciated. I have combination skin and struggle to find products.

Yay!! This makes me so thrilled to hear that you are enjoying the Fenty stick – it’s so easy to use, finish is beautiful, but yes I agree, additional SPF would make it perfect! And I appreciate the topic suggestion – will do!
