9 Sephora Holiday Deals Too Good To Pass Up

by Jessica Willingham

Sephora knows how to rock the holidays, and really every occasion. I am always beyond happy with my experiences at Sephora, because between the service and the Beauty Insider and VIB deals, I am guaranteed to walk away with new products to obsess over or a makeup steal that can't be beat. For these reasons, I am not missing out on the Sephora holiday deals that are only around this season. If you're with me, it's time to get up and get shopping!

If you're a Sephora newbie, you should know that there are tons of ways to save all year round at the beauty retailer. When you become a Beauty Insider or VIB, you get exclusive offers on new products and freebies like mini samples, beauty classes, and seasonal promotions. Around the holidays, however, things are on the next level with insane makeup sets that offer savings in the triple digits. It's a makeup and beauty lover's heaven on earth.

If you're looking for palettes, the holiday season is a great time to buy. Most holiday sets at Sephora come with a full palette and other must-haves, like lip products, cheek products, and mascara. The bottom line — you are definitely getting more for your buck. What's more, Sephora sets come in miniature sizes and a wide range of colors for every skin tone, which means buying them is a great way to get all your friends a little something for a lot less!

Below are some of my favorite Sephora deals that I am not missing out on this year.

1. Free Mystery Bag

This bag is free with a $25 purchase (but who walks out of Sephora spending less than $25, anyway?). It's a great opportunity to discover new products, too! I love the "mystery" of it all!

2. BECCA Opal Glow On The Go

BECCA Opal Glow On The Go, $20, sephora.com

This is an amazing deal when you consider that the Skin Perfector on its own is $38. This is the most versatile shade in their popular Skin Perfector lineup (Champagne Pop excluded) and you have two formulations for no matter your skin needs.

3. Sephora Collection Precious Elements Anti-Bacterial Brush Set

Sephora Collection Precious Elements Antibacterial Brush Set, $62, sephora.com

I love brush sets as gifts for the holidays because they're so simple. You don't have to worry about matching skin tone or texture, and it's likely that everyone on your list is using dingy, outdated brushes and would love an upgrade. This set has a $150 value.

4. Kat Von D Mi Vida Loca Remix Studded Kiss Lip Set

Kat Von D Mi Vida Loca Remix Studded Kiss Lip Set, $42, sephora.com

This is a great gift if you have tons of girlfriends and sisters to shop for — sneak one lippie into every stocking and you are all set! There is a color for everyone, so no one gets something they won't wear. Oh, and in case you were curious, you're saving $100. It's a no brainer, folks.

5. Sephora Favorites Beauty Closet

Sephora Favorites Beauty Closet, $99, sephora.com

This is an almost $300 value and full of a little something for everyone on your list. Consider it a "greatest hits" collection of Sephora products.

6. Living Proof Happy Hair Days Kit

Living Proof Happy Hair Days Kit, $32, sephora.com

Winter can be hard on everyone's skin and hair, no matter their hair texture or upkeep routine. Treat someone to this nourishing gift set that has a $49 value.

7. Dr. Jart+ The Book of Masks

Dr. Jart+ The Book of Masks, $39, sephora.com

Eight masks for under $40 is a steal, and these items separately would cost $56. Each one tackles a different skin issue, so you're set for everything, from breakouts to dryness.

8. Urban Decay Revolution Travel Size Lip Gloss Duo

Urban Decay Revolution Travel Size Lip Gloss Duo,$14, sephora.com

This travel size duo comes with the most popular lip color and an exclusive fuchsia pink shade. These are great to throw in your purse while you're on-the-go traveling or for touch-ups at a holiday party.

9. Nars Steven Klein Collaboration One Shocking Moment Cheek Palette

Nars Steven Klein Collaboration One Shocking Moment Cheek Palette, $69, sephora.com

This would normally be a $165 value — what a steal. It includes beautiful neutral shades that will compliment any skin tone, so you really can't go wrong.
