Now is the time to start buying gifts for your friends and family, especially with sales starting earlier. In my opinion, it’s better to start early and then you won’t have to do all of your shopping a week before Christmas! And you can take advantage of the deals in November. I would rather get shopping over early and then enjoy the holidays stress-free! Below is an easy Sephora gift guide for those beauty-lovers in your life! Bonus: These items are all from Sephora and they are currently running their Holiday Bonus sale which means Rouge members get 20% off, VIB get 15%, and Insiders get 10% off now through November 11. So get to shopping!

Skincare:
Drunk Elephant The Littles Set
I’ve heard great things about this brand and recently learned more about the start of this company from The Skinny Confidential podcast. I ordered this pack of the “littles” as a starting point. This has all of their best-sellers in one to try as the brand’s philosophy is to use these products together and to not use any product’s that contain any of the “suspicious 6” ingredients which are essential oils, drying alcohols, silicones, chemical sunscreens, fragrances/dyes, and SLS. I really appreciate the research and science behind this brand and that they care about providing solutions to people’s skin issues and not providing a band-aid.
Even though it is pricey (I think of skincare as an investment!) many people say once you try these you won’t want to try anything else! Plus with the sale going on you can get it for less to try and see which ones you want to buy full-size going forward! This is also a great gift for anyone in your life who wants great skin (duh, everyone!) and plus the bottles are adorable for shelfies. Need I say more?
Summer Fridays
I’m also a big fan of Summer Fridays! I have all of these masks plus their CC Serum. This is such a cute gift set of their masks which includes their Jet lag mask (love! I use almost every other day either as a night cream or before makeup under my eyes or whenever I need a cooling pick me up especially after too much wine the night before), their R&R mask which is so moisturizing while exfoliating and their Overtime mask which smells like pumpkin spice and fall in a bottle.
Origins Go Go GinZing™ to Energize & Refresh Skin Set
I love the Ginzing eye cream from Origins and this is included in this set along with their cleanser, moisturizer, and night resurfacing cream! This is the perfect set to gift someone that wants to try this collection and requiring some additional caffeine to boost tired skin in the winter! Plus its only $30 for the whole set and comes with this cute pouch to put their goodies in.
Perfume
Maison Margiela-Replica
This is a fun gift set of three scents from the Replica collection for the person in your life who loves warm, woody, spicy scents perfect for the cold winter months! This collection includes Jazz Club, Whispers in the Library, and By the Fireside. All three smell amazing and definitely luxurious.
Sephora Perfume Sampler
This perfume sampler is such a great gift idea! They get nine deluxe samples of popular fragrances and then they also get a certificate to redeem for a full-size bottle of their choice out of the nine! Perfect for when you don’t know exactly what they would like and giving them the fun option to choose their favorite!
Makeup
Charlotte Tilbury Pillow Talk Lips
This is a best-seller for a reason! This cult classic lip color looks great on almost everyone and this gift set includes not just the lipstick but also the matching lip liner as well! The color is gorgeous for everyday but also elevated for holiday parties and events.
Anastasia Beverly Hills Soft Glam Eyeshadow Palette
You can’t go wrong with an Anastasia Beverly Hills eyeshadow palette! This palette is gorgeous for makeup newbies and pros alike. I love all of the pink and mauve colors to the deep red and black shades. The formulation of these eyeshadows are always so pigmented, creamy, and blendable.
Benefit Cosmetics Gimme the Goods! Customizable Set
I love and use almost all of these products daily! The gimme brow gel and the Bad Gal Bang mascara are both a must! This set also includes the Hoola bronzer and the pore primer which are also both amazing and makes this such a good deal! With this set as well you can choose your chosen shade of the gimme brow gel.
Fenty Beauty
I got this last year and still use it all the time! I love these colors, they’re so pigmented and sparkly and some of these you can use as eyeshadows and highlighters. Right now this palette is on sale for $27 even before the bonus sale discount! I would definitely snatch this up at this price!! It’s a great gift for anyone who loves playing with color!
Hair
Living Proof Go Beyond – Volume Full Dry Volume Blast™ Duo
This stuff is amazing for volume! For the same price as a full bottle this set also includes a mini bottle you can easily take for travel! It smells amazing too.
Living Proof Go Beyond – Clean Perfect Hair Day® Dry Shampoo Duo
I also highly recommend the Living Proof dry shampoo! It really does what it claims and makes your hair feel actually clean, perfect for the girl on the go or someone who doesn’t feel like washing their hair everyday because thats exhausting.
Hopefully this Sephora gift guide was helpful! Let me know if you have any other favorite products!
