I Have Gift Sets on the Brain, and the Sephora Savings Event Is Right on Time
ICYMI, Sephora's highly anticipated Savings Event is officially on, and as beauty editors, we're celebrating. Not only is it the most strategic time to restock all of the products you already use and love, but it's also the most financially savvy time to gift yourself, and your loved ones, with every crème de la crème beauty offering you've been dying to try. The best way to get even more bang for your buck? Gift sets. Lots and lots of gift sets.
Beauty brands and the gods and goddesses at Sephora outdo themselves year after year when it comes to their gifting compilations, and this year is no different. That said, with over 2000 options available (trust me, I counted), you'll likely lose steam after one or two minutes of scrolling. Lucky for you, that's where I come in. As a self-declared excellent beauty gift shopper, I've gone ahead and lightened your load by selecting 21 of the best gift sets across fragrance, skincare, haircare, makeup, and bodycare. (Plus, to help calculate your savings, I've gone ahead and done the math for Rouge members, showing what each gift will cost at 20% off.)
You have from now though November 11 to get scrolling and use the code SAVINGS at checkout. Just move swiftly—these picks are so good I'm already predicting they'll disappear at warp speed.
The Best Fragrance Gift Sets
The original Glossier You is iconic (and it will forever stay that way), but people can't stop talking about the brand's two new takes on the classic skin scent, Rêve and Doux. The beauty team is 100% divided, so you should probably pick up this travel spray trio to see what all the hubbub is about.
I'm of the belief that every fragrance lover should have a Tom Ford private blend perfume on their vanity. This set of best sellers allows you to quadruple the fun for under $100.
If you know me, you know that I will never stop talking about my adoration for Phlur. My top picks are Father Figure, Not Your Baby, and Somebody Wood, but I'm dying to get your take—DM me!
If you're having trouble deciding on a new signature fragrance, or if you're just trying to spice up your regular rotation of perfumes, I highly recommend this sampler pack, which features the 10 scents Sephora shoppers love (and buy!) the most. Oh, and the best part? The set comes with a redeemable voucher that allows you to choose your favorite, and then take the included scent certificate to any U.S. Sephora store or sephora.com to redeem for a full size of your favorite fragrance from the bunch—at no extra cost!
The Best Skincare Gift Sets
People go wild for Summer Fridays' lip butters, and I'm currently salivating over this trio of favorites featuring Cherry, Pink Sugar, and Sweet Mint.
ICYMI, Sulwhasoo is Korea's best-selling skincare brand. I was lucky enough to use the brand's skincare products for a full week when I was in Seoul recently, and weeks later, my skin is still on a complete high.
Navigating the infinite number of skincare products on the market today is intensely overwhelming. I love this set of must-haves because it's already done the legwork for you, presenting you with 10 cult-loved formulas you're practically guaranteed to love.
If bright, clear, and noticeably glowing skin is your objective this winter, you'll want to invest in Dr. Dennis Gross's slew of iconic formulas. I still can't get over that this set includes the brand's celeb- and editor-endorsed Pro LED Faceware Device. (Run, don't walk—this one won't stay in stock for long!)
The Best Haircare Gift Sets
Who doesn't want healthier hair? And if you're like me, wouldn't you like healthier hair that's also thicker and longer? I'm snapping up this collection, which not only features Nutrafol's beloved hair supplements but also the brand's hair-fortifying shampoo and conditioner.
It's rare that I see a set for sale that includes not one, not two, not three, but four of my holy-grail beauty products. I'd come for the brand's obsession-forming lip oil alone, so the fact that it's accompanied by my beloved hair perfume, hair oil, and hair mask is really just the cherry on top.
Sephora really nailed it when it composed its value gift sets this year. This Holiday Hair Must-Haves number truly features the crème de la crème.
Crown Affair's hair formulas and accessories are a lesson in luxury. This duo is an easy choice for the beauty lover on your list who prioritizes the finer things in life.
The Best Makeup Gift Sets
What's a holiday gift set roundup without Dior? Here, you'll find the brand's *most* viral beauty splurges at a fraction of the price.
Unless you've been living under a rock, you're probably already aware Make Up For Ever's multitasking pencils are a nonnegotiable for celebrities, makeup artists, and editors alike. This set of minis is A) adorable and B) filled with the brand's most popular shades like Wherever Walnut, Anywhere Caffeine, Limitless Brown, and more.
Tarte's Maracuja Juicy Lip collection is viral for a reason, and this drool-worthy set will make a fabulous gift for a loved one or yourself this holiday season. (Take it from someone who already owns it!)
Housing the absolute best of Charlotte Tilbury's iconic Pillow Talk line, this incredibly luxe set is the stuff of dreams for anyone on your list who loves makeup.
This was the year of blush, and I don't see the glowy cheek movement fading away anytime soon. This set will equip you with all of the most-viral necessities to complete your tool kit.
The Best Bodycare Gift Sets
I've loved Sol de Janeiro's confection-like bodycare formulas for years, and I'm so happy the brand is finally getting the love and attention it deserves. (Thank you, TikTok!) This ultimate collection of products features every single item you've been wanting to try from—from the cult-loved body butters to the viral body and hair mists.
Have you ever seen a more iconic trio? You'd be hard-pressed to find an editor who doesn't keep all three of these products from Nécessaire—the body lotion, the body serum, and the bodywash—stocked at all times in their bathroom.
Erin has been writing a mix of beauty and wellness content for Who What Wear for over four years. Prior to that, she spent two and half years writing for Byrdie. She now calls Santa Monica home but grew up in Minnetonka, Minnesota, and studied writing, rhetoric, and communication at University of Wisconsin, La Crosse. She studied abroad in Galway, Ireland, and spent a summer in L.A. interning with the Byrdie and Who What Wear family. After graduating from UW, she spent one year in San Francisco, where she worked as a writer for Pottery Barn Kids and PBteen before moving down to L.A. to begin her career as a beauty editor. She considers her day-to-day beauty aesthetic very low-maintenance and relies on staples like clear brow serum (from Kimiko!), Lawless's Lip Plumping Mask in Cherry Vanilla, and an eyelash curler. For special occasions or days when she's taking more meetings or has an event, she'll wear anything and everything from Charlotte Tilbury (the foundations are game-changing), some shimmer on her lids (Stila and Róen do it best), and a few coats of the best mascara-type product on earth, Surratt's Noir Lash Tint.
