A Sephora gift set tops the holiday wish lists of beauty lovers near and far (Byrdie editors, included). From luxury beauty gifts with mega wow factor to sweet little stocking stuffers, the brand has no shortage of offerings in giftable packaging—and often at a value compared to purchasing items individually. In particular, the Sephora Favorites gift sets are synonymous with the holiday season, and serve as a great way to discover new products, find inspiration in your routine, or stock up on travel sizes of your reliable favorites. This year, you'll find curations of blush, lippies, skincare, and TikTok-viral makeup galore—just slap a bow on it. We personally scoured the hundreds of Sephora's 2024 holiday gift sets and curated only the best of the best. Ahead, find the 28 best Sephora gift sets of the year with the most value for your coins.
Sephora's Best Makeup Gift Sets
From exclusive new launches to the immaculately curated Sephora Favorites sets (which always sell out), a Sephora makeup gift set is always a winner. For starters, Sephora is the only retailer where you'll find Makeup by Mario's newest Ethereal Eyes palette, "Moonlight." The brand is also rolling out its Sephora Favorites sets—packed with major deals on full-size products—in cozy, faux Sherpa makeup bags. The brand's Glitz + Glam Makeup Set, for example, contains $115 worth of products from Merit, Glossier, Armani Beauty, and more for $45. (You even get a fresh Beautyblender, and we all know it's been a while since you've cleaned your current one). This year, Sephora's 2024 holiday programming is also blessing us with giftable duos from Haus Labs and Milk Makeup, luxurious makeup brush sets, and plenty more.
Sephora's Best Hair Gift Sets
There is perhaps no holiday hair gift more enviable than unwrapping a Dyson hair tool. This year, Sephora is offering the Dyson Supersonic Nural in a special edition colorway—Strawberry Bronze—and throwing in a chic storage case that's ready to gift (and incredibly practical). Another hot tool on peoples' Sephora wish lists? The Mane It's Giving Body Thermal Round Brush, which is packaged beautifully with a bonus paddle brush and alligator clips at Sephora this year. Tools aside, you'll also find no shortage of options in the haircare department, with luxurious sets from Oribe, Pattern, K18, Dae, Color Wow, and more. And of course, it wouldn't be the holiday season without a Sephora Favorites set; our favorite curation this year is the Hair Discovery Value Set, which contains $108 worth of haircare and styling products for $34. Inside, you'll find deluxe trial sizes from brands like Vegamour, Ceremonia, Act+Acre, and more.
Sephora's Best Skincare Gift Sets
What better gift than the gift of glowing skin? Whether it be a new moisturizer to add to your daily routine or an at-home peel to elevate a self-care day, there is something for everyone. What makes Sephora the ultimate holiday destination is the array of skincare sets exclusive to the retailer. Amongst the limited edition offerings is Shani Darden’s Hydrate & Replenish Trio, which packaged three of the brand’s top moisturizing formulas. Looking to test-drive viral products before fully committing? The Sephora Favorites Skincare Must Haves includes mini-sized samples of trendy brands such as Drunk Elephant, Dr.Jart, and Supergoop. But if there is one product that can be found in everyone’s bag, it’s a lip balm. That’s why the Topicals Slick Salve Glossy Lip Balm Duo and Tatcha Lip Mask, while small, are sure to spark joy.
Sephora's Best Fragrance + Body Care Gift Sets
While fragrance can be an inherently personal choice, some scents are automatic crowd-pleasers. Out of all the fragrance launches this year, Glossier You might have attracted the most attention. The special formula is designed to smell different on everyone, making it a personal and highly coveted scent. A close second on the viral scale is Fenty’s inaugural scent. The brand paired its signature brown bottle with a travel spray for this year's holiday duo set. Equally sought after is the Sol De Janeiro Cheriosa mists. Not familiar with the brand? Just ask any member of Gen Z. This special Sephora holiday set showcases four of the top-selling SKUs in adorable travel-friendly mini bottles. Speaking of sets, when a luxury brand like Maison Margiela transforms its five top perfumes into chic mini bottles, you seize the opportunity. What otherwise might be classified as a splurge is now the perfect introductory or refill opportunity for a top brand on the market. Should spritzing on a scent not sound appealing, don’t fret—body care is here to save the day. From luxurious scented Necessaire body wash to cozy vanilla 54 Thrones hand cream, these beauty must-haves perfectly pair skincare with a lasting scent.
