Sephora Holiday Gift Sets: What to Buy & What to Avoid
The holiday season is approaching, and figuring out what to buy your loved ones can be challenging. Some struggle to find something, while others know exactly what they want. Sephora is always a go-to place to find some of the best holiday gifts to treat yourself or give to others. However, with many options available at so many price points, separating the must-haves you need and products to avoid can take time. Let's explore the best sets to get by value and what not to get.

This past year was all about lip balms, with companies releasing their versions from left and right. The Summer Fridays Lip Butter Balm is considered to be a classic that is loved by many. It comes in over nine different flavors and many limited-edition flavors. One lip butter balm retails for $24 and comes with 0.5oz of products. If you want to try out different shades of butter balms or already love this product, their limited-edition Holiday Lip Butter Balm Set is a great value and a must-have. It comes with three full-size butter balms in cherry, pink sugar, and sweet mint. This set retails for $49, with a value of $73—which seems like a steal.
Charlotte Tilbury Airbrush Flawless Setting Spray

The Charlotte Tilbury Airbrush Flawless Waterproof Setting Spray is a fan favorite—it leaves you with a dewy finish to your face without being too heavy or oily. The full size is equivalent to two travel-sized setting sprays, each with 34ml of product, and retails for $23. Great for traveling and on the go—however, if you want more for what you’ll be paying, the full-size setting spray will be your best bet. The setting spray comes with 100ml of product and retails for $38 and while it is slightly more expensive, you will get more product in the full size rather than the mini.
Saie Dew Blush

Cream blushes have been all the rave, and it's here to stay. Brands are constantly coming out with great formulas in a plethora of beautiful shades. Sometimes, it can be hard to pick what you want, especially when you want to try them all. The Saie Mini Dew Blush Trio Set is an excellent choice for trying different shades without committing to a full size. It comes with three dew blushes in shades: Baby (cool-toned baby pink), Chilly (cool-toned mauve), and Flirty (limited-edition bright watermelon). This set retails for $30, whereas a full-size retails for $25. While it is slightly more expensive, you can try different shades without breaking the bank!
Best-Selling Perfume Sampler Set

Who doesn’t love trying out new scents? Sephora and various brands come out with their version of perfume gift sets each year. However, one perfume set you shouldn’t avoid is the Sephora Best-Selling Perfume Sampler Set. This set comes with ten samples from various brands and retails for $88. It comes with a voucher to redeem a full-size bottle of any of the samples.
If $88 for ten perfume samples doesn’t gravitate toward you—the KAYALI Vanilla Miniature Obsessions Perfume Set is a great option! It comes with four 10ml deluxe miniature-size perfumes. The set retails for $100, and while it is on the pricier side, you would get larger sizes, with each perfume being diverse in its smell.

The “icon cheirosa” scent from Sol de Janeiro is a cult classic and a must-have. The entire line consists of hair care, body care, and fragrance. If you want to try all these products, then the Hydration Celebration Body Routine Set is great just for you. It retails for $68 and comes with a five-set full-body routine of the Brazillian Bum Bum collection. With a full-size body cream, a travel-size mist, a body scrub, a body wash, and body oil. The price value is great for its size and comes with some of its best products.
