My Sephora VIB + Holiday Picks
Every holiday season Sephora debuts glorious collections of brand name products at a discount. These collections are usually between a $100 – $300 value and are priced at more than half off. I personally scroll through all of these holiday value sets to purchase for myself and my friends for Chirstmas. Here is a wrap up of what collections I loved the most.
1. The Chocolate Shop by Too Faced
Too Faced cosmetics carries a palette called Chocolate Bar which is infused with cocoa powder, and this new holiday edition also smells as sweet. For $58, you get an eyeshadow palette with 21 shades, a Better Than Sex mascara (a number one seller), a melted lipstick, and an eyeshadow primer.
2. Fresh Sugar Lip Seduction
The very first 100 point sample I received from Sephora was a Fresh cosmetics sugar lip balm. I used it for almost 2 years before it melted in the hot Florida heat in my purse. These lip balms offer a soft buttery texture that gives your lips just a hit of color. This holiday kit is $50 and valued at $84. A tip for a gift like this is to keep one or two for yourself and dole out the rest as Christmas presents!
3. Tarte Radiance Ritual Travel Set
Tarte is another brand that I love and this set combines the best in travel products. There is a four step cleanse, clarify, prime and moisture in this kit with hypoallergenic and vegan friendly skin care essentials. The kit also comes with a Drench Lip Splash Lipstick and an Amazonian Clay highlighter. One great perk about this kit is how huge the bottle sizes are! For just $32 you are getting a skin care regime and bonus makeup favorites.
4. Sephora Favorites Lash Stash
All of the best mascaras Sephora knows you’ll love are packaged into this holiday kit. From Nars to Too Faced to Yves Saint Laurent, Sephora always produces great mascaras to try out. This kit has been altered into a Lashstash To Go collection which is now $28.
So, what did I buy?!
Konjac Sponges $7 |
I only use konjac sponges to remove my makeup and cleanse my face twice day, so when I saw that these sponges were on sale for $7 I had to stock up. These sponges are super soft and lather product very nicely for both morning and evening use.
Sephora Multitasking Brush $14 Sale |
As much as I love makeup I also love finding new tools to apply it with. This multitasking brush will be great for foundations, powders, and concealers. It was also on sale for $14! And how cute is this brush to stick in my makeup bag?
Hourglass Primer $18 |
Primers are just as essential in one’s makeup collection as brushes are. This Hourglass primer has been a favorite of mine for quite some time. It really does smooth over your pores and make them invisible. I usually purchase the $18 bottle because I can never make myself splurge on the $50 one.
Cleansing Oil $39 |
This is a Korean beauty product and I am so excited to try it when it arrives. I am always on the hunt for easy ways to remove my makeup and this one promises to get rid of everything. It has great reviews and I am glad that I got an extra 20% off!
