Sephora Holiday Sale: The Top 20 Kits To Buy

The Holiday sale at Sephora are my favorite time of the year to shop for myself and of course to get an early start on my holiday shopping. If you are at the Rouge Status, the 20% discount this is a great time to shop. But if you’re at VIB (15%) or Insider (10%) Status, you may want to carefully consider what you plan on purchasing. I say this as 15% or 10% is not much of a savings when many of these brands and products can be found at a deeper discount directly through the brand or other retailers.

Skincare Sets

Glow Recipe: Watermelon Glow Magic Kit

Price: $49

This set includes the following and I love all 3 of these products:
- 0.84 oz/ 25 mL Watermelon Glow Hyaluronic Clay Pore-Tight Facial Mask
- 0.5 oz/ 15 mL Watermelon Glow Niacinamide Dew Drops
- 5 oz/ 150 mL Watermelon Glow PHA +BHA Pore-Tight Toner

Tatcha: The Japanese Ritual for Glowing Skin

Price: $60

Tatcha is a pretty pricey brand. But there’s so many products from them that I love. I can honestly say I love all of the products in this kit. Years ago I purchased one of these mini Tatcha kits and I love that it allowed me to test out several products from the brand at a discounted price.

Fragrance Sets

Juliette Has A Gun- Not A Gift Set

Price: $98

I purchased this same set a couple of years ago and I love that this set contains the travel size of the perfume too. I also think this set is reasonably priced before the sale discount. If you haven’t smelled the Not A Perfume scent, I would say the scent is more warm and woodsy side. This is a perfume that I am comfortable wearing for any and all occasions and for every season.

Sephora Favorites: Bestsellers Perfume Sampler Set

Price: $68

The Sephora Perfume Sampler Set is one of their best fragrance kits to pick up! I love that it gives you a chance to sample each perfume in the kit and includes a voucher to redeem for a full size for one of the perfumes in the kit. The savings from the kit + the Sephora Sales discount makes it a win-win combination. This would be great for someone looking to try out a new perfume or as a gift for someone else if you’re not sure which fragrance to gift them.

Yves Saint Laurent: Mini Black Opium & Libre Eau de Parfum Duo

Price: $30

This is such a great price for this mini set. This would also make a great gift or to purchase for yourself if you already like the set. I love Black Opium for the Night and Libre sounds like it would be a nice daytime scent.


Makeup Sets


Natasha Denona: Mini Metropolis Palette & Brush Set

Price: $25

It really takes a lot for me to buy eye shadow palettes. I already have one of these mini palettes from ND and I love it. This mini kit has so many beautiful shades and i love that it comes with a make-up brush too.


Sephora Favorites: Swipe of Lip Color Lipstick & Lip Balm Set

Price: $36

I already purchased this kit a month ago and the full price and I’ve been super happy with it. I think for all of the products included (full size and mini sizes) this is well worth the price!

Laneige: All Nighter Lip Set

Price: $30

I love these Laneige lip sleeping masks. When in doubt I love gifting these to other people. I’ve been using the Laneige lip balms for years and they last so long!



Charlotte Tilbury: Mini Airbrush Flawless Setting Spray Duo

Price: $29

Another kit that I couldn’t wait to purchase. This mini set includes two of the CT Airbrush setting spray and this is such a great kit.
