Guys, it’s officially one of my favorite times of the year again!
It’s not Christmas (I wish), but it’s certainly close. Sephora’s 2022 Holiday Savings Event has kicked off today. As usual, it’s a tiered event where the date you’re eligible to shop and the discount you’re eligible to receive is based on the number of points you have in Sephora’s Beauty Insider program. Here’s a breakdown of all the information:
If you are a Rouge (spend more than $1,000 annually) member, you can start shopping today! Using the code SAVINGS between 10/28 and 11/7, you will receive 20% off your purchase both in store and online. If you are a VIB (spend more than $250 annually), you can use the code SAVINGS to receive 15% off your purchase between 11/1 and 11/7. If you are an Insider (no spend required – just sign up for an account!), you will enter the code SAVINGS to receive 10% off your purchase between 11/3 and 11/7.
Additionally, all Sephora collection items are 30% off for the entire duration of the sale.
Seeing as the holidays are right around the corner, I wanted to share my favorite Sephora sets that would make the perfect present. These are a mix of products that I personally own and love as well as items I’m dying to try. Don’t forget to enter your discount code to get the extra savings on top of the fantastic value set prices!
Gisou Honey Infused Hydration Hair Set – I have seen this brand a million times in the past few months on Instagram and TikTok. I don’t know too much about them, other than everyone seems to be completely obsessed. Gisou specializes in hair products formulated with Mirsalehi honey to rebuild and repair your hair, tame frizz and seal split ends. Count me in! This gift set is a great way to try a little bit of everything. It has fantastic reviews, and everyone says it smells amazing. This one is definitely on my own Christmas wishlist this year.
NARS Rising Star Cheek Palette – I feel like NARS blush palettes are completely iconic, which makes them the perfect gift to give and receive at the holiday season. When NARS released their first one several years ago (maybe 2011/2012ish?), they sold out instantly and were impossible to find. Everyone went crazy for them on YouTube. Since, they’re a lot easier to get ahold of, and now I honestly don’t think they get enough hype. NARS blushes are some of the best around. They’re soft, finely milled, pigmented and apply beautifully to the skin. This year’s palette has a stunning star motif that feels special, but with an array of shades that you can wear everyday.
Sol de Janeiro Radiant Rhythm Bom Dia Set – This is a wonderful set for anyone who struggles with acne-prone skin, dullness or dark spots. I’m not a huge fan of the original Bum Bum Cream (it smells incredible but I never noticed any real results with it), but this one has piqued my interest. I tend to gravitate toward products with AHA and BHA in them, as they help keep my skin bright and clear. They kind of work as a gentle resurfacing tool to remove dead skin and perfect everything beneath it. I’m very interested in trying the body cream and the body wash in this pink scent that’s brand new to me. The body spray is just a bonus – I already know I love those.
Dior Natural Glow Essentials Gift Set – If you’ve read any of my other beauty or Sephora posts in the past, you’ll already know I am totally obsessed with the Dior Lip Glow balms. They are the perfect lipstick – subtly pigmented, glossy, hydrating and luxe. I want them in every color Dior releases, and this kit is such a beautiful way to try them out. You get the Dior Lip Glow in Pink (which is one of my favorites), a matching Lip Maximizer lip gloss, and a gorgeous Dior blue velvet makeup pouch. The price is a steal – you’re basically getting the makeup bag for free – especially with an extra discount.
Rare Beauty by Selena Gomez Soft Pinch Liquid Blush Set – Liquid blush is another beauty item that’s all over Instagram and TikTok right now! I tend to prefer liquid/cream face products over powder ones, especially during winter. I think it helps to give your face some extra light during the months when your skin is drier and duller. These Rare Beauty liquid blushes get amazing reviews, and this is such a fun set to try out three different shades. I’m definitely grabbing this one in the sale today. TikTok says the trick is to apply your under eye concealer after your liquid blush, so I’ll be experimenting with that!
Glow Recipe Hey You, You’re Glowing Watermelon Set – Glow Recipe is one of my favorite brands for skincare. Their products are everything you could want – effective, fairly affordable and beautifully packaged. I already own both the BHA pore cleansing toner and the niacinamide serum that comes in this set, and I can’t recommend them more highly. The toner works to brighten and smooth your skin, while the niacinamide drops provide hydration and, obviously, glow. This set is also a great deal to try both – you’re getting two full size products that have a value of $68 for only $49, plus the discount.
Charlotte Tilbury Mini Beauty Highlighter Wand Duo Set – The Charlotte Tilbury Beauty Light Wands have been all the rage online for the past year or so. Last year around this time, they were absolutely impossible to find. And I think for good reason – they’re a fantastic, high-quality product that transforms the look of your skin. I’ve never had another blush or highlighter product that does what the CT Beauty Light Wands do. They give your skin this ethereal glow and make you look lit from within. This set offers the perfect opportunity to try both a blush wand and a highlighter wand in one. I think Charlotte Tilbury always has such beautiful packaging. This would be a wonderful stocking stuffer for any woman in your life!
