I’m going to keep my categories nice and concise so I’m not listing everything on their website! I’m here to help you find the best gems that get amazing reviews, are best sellers, or are my own personal faves. Hopefully, you ladies know by now, I don’t ever steer you in the wrong direction when it comes to beauty!!
Let’s get right into it!
Sephora Savings Event 2025
The best thing about this time of year is to GIVE to others. And as a certified beauty nut myself, I love giving the gift of beauty. Here are my top picks of the best gift sets to snag while you get them at a discount (or before they sell out, which they do), that will surely make the recipient glow with gratitude!
Best Gift Sets That Impress
Lashstash To Go Makeup Value Set, $29 ($48 value). It’s always the first set to sell out because everyone wears mascara (at least everyone I know!) and everyone likes to try new formulas! These are best sellers too. And the price point is amazing for a reasonable gift to give.
Make Up For Ever Mini Artist Lip Liner Set, $39 ($62 value). If you haven’t heard the buzz around this brand of lip liners, everyone is freaking out over them! And the wearability of shades, “wherever walnut” and “anywhere caffeine” are hot cake sellers. This is specifically for the gal who realizes how important lip liner is for disappearing lips! *Did you read my blog post on the best makeup tricks for aging lips?? I mention lip liner tricks.*
Mini Multiple Soft Blur Blush Stick Set for Cheeks, Eyes, and Lips, $45 ($60 value) I do love some multi-functional sticks of color, and Nars is known for their multiples. These 3 mini versions in 3 top-selling shades would make any gal blush with excitement.
Holiday Hair Must-Haves Set, $48 (value $146!) If you know someone who has a fabulous head of hair and treasures it, this is the perfect gift. It has so many of the amazing brands I personally trust and use, from Oribe, Olaplex, Living Proof, and all the other good ones. I kinda want this for myself!
Kayali Vanilla Miniature Obsessions Perfume Set, $100. Fragrance packages are always a thoughtful gift, and this one is for the vanilla scent-obsessed. This is a popular brand amongst the teen girls right now (my own daughter loves them), and I have been wearing the Vanilla Candy Rock Sugar, and it is divine. If this is too pricey, they make a much smaller mini set for only $25, which you can try out.
Sol de Janiero Spritz the Season Cheirosa Perfume Mist Gift Set, $39 ($50 value). This is another real banger amongst the young ladies, but I always die for this brand. You get 5 of their mini best sellers so you can test them all out.
L’Occitane 24 Day Advent Calendar Gift Set, $199 (value $238). It’s a treasure chest full of presents, opening from both sides to deliver the best of what L’Occitane has to offer your skin, body, hair, and hands. This is a great gift for the gal that isn’t super into makeup, but loves skin treatments and self-care. I bathe myself in their almond shower body oil daily – it’s my treat to myself in the shower.
Charlotte Tilbury Lip and Cheek Makeup Set, $35 (value $59). No one gets tired of luxe Charlotte Tilbury products. And this comes with three of my faves – her highlighter, a lip liner, and her plumping lip gloss. And yes, the “pillow talk” shade is still iconic and looks good on practically everyone!
Beauty Staples That Deserve to be Restocked
Patrick Ta Major Headlines Double-Take Crème & Powder Blush Duo, $38. I own 3 of these, and consider them to be some of the best blushes EVER made. That’s because it’s awesome to have a cream and a powder version of the same color in one place – and they even work beautifully together. Specifically looking at adding shades “She Goes to the Gym” and “She’s Blushing” to my collection. Also, this dual-ended blush brush Patrick uses in all his tutorials could be a good purchase.
Tarte Lights Camera Lashes 4 in 1 volumizing mascara, $28. I don’t like to buy prestige mascara, but I make an exception for this one because I do love it so much. It gives such good volume to my lashes and makes them appear super fluffy!
Laneige Cream Skin Refillable Milky Toner with Ceramides and Peptides, $36. You wouldn’t believe how creamy and plump this toner makes my skin look!! It feels like a dream when applied – I use a cotton round – and is almost hydrating enough to skip moisturizer and seriously delivers glass-like skin. Now I only have to buy the refills. If you’re a toner girl with dry skin, try this.
Fenty Beauty Gloss Bomb Stix High-Shine Gloss Stick, $26. I can’t get enough of this formula, and I can’t have too many lipsticks. This gloss bomb stix finish reminds me of my beloved YSL Candy Glaze lipstick that runs $42, just without the luxe packaging. The shine and hydration, and feel of these are next-level beautiful. I am wearing the shade “Sp’Ice Cold” here, which is a pink brown, and perfect for fall, and I own 2 other shades. I will always treat myself to a new fabulous lip color.
Sephora Collection Makeup Brushes vary in price. I own a couple of their brushes; the foundation #40 brush is excellent, and I think I’ll add more of these to my collection. If you’re in need of new makeup brushes, these are already well priced in my opinion, but now they’re 30% off, so it’s a no-brainer to stock up on these.
Urban Decay 24/7 Waterproof eyeliner, $23. I’m always needing to refresh my eyeliner selection, and Urban Decay has the market when it comes to longevity of wear, smoothness of application, and the BEST shade choices – 30+ of them!! You can have so much fun with these for the holidays! I love their “Sabbath” deep navy matte and “Empire” a dark eggplant if you’re looking for something easy to wear besides black and brown.
My Wishlist Items
These are things I keep hearing great things about and want to try for myself.
Armani Beauty Eye Tint Long-Lasting Liquid Eyeshadows, $39. Everyone is raving on and on about how easy these are to apply, blend out, look gorgeous on the lids, and they don’t fade away. I love the neutral shades offered and can’t wait to try out one or two.
The Dyson Airwrap Co-anda2x™ Multi-Styler and Dryer for Straight to Wavy Hair, $749. I said this was a WISH LIST, and a girl can dream, right??! Gah, it’s so expensive, but it looks like it can create the dreamiest hair with such ease, and the curls apparently stay put all day. If I win the lottery, this would be one of my first purchases.
Violette FR Plume Lip Matte Lip Whip, $31. This new lip formula gets almost a 5-star rating and looks gorgeous! It’s described as a feather-matte, yet hydrating liquid lipstick with a whip-like texture for weightless comfort. I have followed Violette, the French-born makeup artist and creator, for a while now on Instagram and love everything she does! She’s the perfect balance of effortless beauty that always embraces a bold lip, so I know her lip products have to be good.
Natasha Denona Eye Sculpt Texture & Tone Eyeshadow Palette, Soft shade, $82. Goodness knows I don’t NEED another eyeshadow palette, but I want this one. I love all of my ND palettes I currently have (4 of them), and this one looks like it has every matte neutral shade a girl could dream of. Rest assured, if no one buys me this, I’ll buy it for myself!
La Mer The Renewal Oil, $295. After purchasing a mini version of this renewal oil from the Nordstrom Anniversary sale this year, I used up the whole tiny bottle in a month and was very sad when the last drop was used. It made my skin super glowy and hydrated on another level. I wish it were at least $100 cheaper, but sometimes truly high-end skincare products aren’t a bad thing to invest in.
Don’t Forget These Honorable Mentions
Products I use a ton that deserve some love, but I always repurchase in the same versions!
Natasha Denona HyGyn Energizing Primer, $48. Gives amazing luminosity to the skin before foundation.
One Size Mattifying Waterproof Makeup Setting Spray, $34. I use it on every single one of my makeup clients and myself. Your makeup will not go anywhere and smells great.
Dior Backstage Glow Highlighting Quad, $54. Why haven’t you bought this yet if you’ve been following me for a while?? I use it for cheeks and eyes ALL THE TIME. It’s iconic.
Final Shopping Strategy
Before you check out, make a quick list of what you truly need versus what you just want to try. Go ahead and buy that beauty gift for someone else, then stock up on your everyday essentials, or go treat yourself to one or two luxury items you wouldn’t normally splurge on at full price.
This holiday season (I can’t believe I’m already saying this!), shop intentionally, take advantage of those tiered discounts, and celebrate the joy that beauty products can bring!
