We're Going Goo Goo Ga Ga Over These Epic Holiday Makeup Kits From Sephora

by Jacqueline Burt Cote

Since Sephora is basically the closest thing us moms have to a toy store, it only stands to reason that gifts from the makeup emporium are the adult equivalent to getting the year's hottest baby doll or a shiny new bike under the tree. That's why we love the gift collections offered by the store every season (all those options in one box!). But with so many sets to choose from, which are the best holiday kits from Sephora this year?

Maybe you're shopping for someone who's obsessed with having perfect skin or loves experimenting with eye color. Maybe you've got someone on your list who never met a perfume she didn't love. Or maybe you just want to treat yo' self with some glamorous goodies at prices you can't find the rest of the year. Whatever your reason for browsing these kits, you're sure to find what you're looking for — and it's sure to be a bargain, too! Even though most kits don't include full-size items, they're still a steal, and we all know good makeup almost never goes on sale. So unfair!

Plus, these sets are the perfect way to try out a variety of products without the commitment. And since the makeup store ships most items within 3 business days, there's still plenty of time to order. So shop these amazing holiday makeup kits from Sephora that are packed with amazing products and will also save you the biggest bucks.

Sephora Favorites: Perfume Sampler ($65, Sephora)
