Best Sephora Gifts + Important Sale Dates

My picks from the sale + the best Sephora gifts for her!

The Best Sephora Gifts:

Salt & Stone Deodorant Set & Body Wash: I have never loved a deodorant like I love this one, and now you can get a set with all the different scents! Their body wash is also so luxurious. A perfect gift!

One/Size Setting Spray Set: This setting spray really works and I know a lot of women (and young girls!) who would love to get this set!

Merit Flush Balm Trio and Archival Lip Essentials Set: Not only am I a Merit superfan, but I own all of the colors in both of these sets and confirm that there’s not a bad one in the bunch. These sets are worth it!!

Crown Affair Hair Refresh Set: This set includes my favorite dry shampoo ever!

Rhode Glazed Trio Set: I haven’t tried Rhode yet, but Hailey Bieber’s skin is stunning and her fanbase is passionate… so I’m willing to bet these products are good.

Soft Services Hand Repair Cream: I LOVE THIS HAND LOTION! It’s such a good gift for someone who has everything/is hard to buy for!

Dyson Airwrap: Yes, it’s expensive. Yes, it’s amazing.

Slip Silk Scrunchies: Who wouldn’t like some silk hair ties in their stocking?

Summer Fridays Lip Butter Balm Minis: These lip balm sets sell out every year, so if you want one, snag it!

Makeup and skincare rarely go on sale, so when it does, it’s worth paying attention. I mean, we all use it all the time – so why not snag it at a discount, right?

Plus, I personally think beauty gifts are a totally under-rated category when it comes to holiday shopping. I know so many women who love trying new skincare and beauty products, but who don’t necessarily think to purchase it for themselves… especially if it’s something really luxe!

A Few Sephora Sale Favorites

MERIT Minimalist Stick

I honestly don’t know how I would get through motherhood without this makeup stick. It’s like a crayon for your face – draw it all over, blend it (super easily!) and move on. Doesn’t get easier than that! I love the shad Bisque on my face and Sandstone if I need something a little brighter under my eyes.

MERIT Flush Balm Blush

I have quite a few shades in this balm now and I love literally all of them. They’re buildable, blend easily, and I love that I can throw one in my purse if I’m going out. I love pretty much everything else that Merit makes too – you can’t go wrong!

Armani Foundation

If I’m going out, this has become my favorite. It has more coverage and looks so smooth and natural on your skin. Worth the money, especially if you’re only really using it on special occassions!

One/Size by Patrick Starrr Ultimate Blurring Setting Powder

I purchased this in translucent and was super impressed, but then they sent me their pink color and WOWZA. The pink color helps neutralize and brighten dark circles, as well as create a camera-ready finish to your skin. 

One/Size Setting Spray

This setting spray is seriously such a powerhouse. It will keep your makeup on all day. ALL. DAY. I also really love this variation too – it feels more every day to me.

Salt & Stone Deodorant

This is the BEST DEODORANT EVER. Not only does it smell lovely, but it is aluminum free and it WORKS. I’ve gotten so many people to buy it and everyone loves it. One of my best discoveries of 2025!

Crown Affair Dry Shampoo

Not to be dramatic, but THIS MADE ME BELIEVE IN DRY SHAMPOO. I’ve tried so many different kinds in my life and I usually end up showering because my hair feels gross – except for this one. Instead of a spray, it’s a powder that you brush into your hair, and it actually makes my hair feel clean without any of that weird filmy feeling that sprays tend to leave behind. It’s expensive but it comes with a LOT of product, especially considering a little goes a long way. This is a holy grail purchase for me. Obsessed.

Dyson Airwrap

As someone who resisted getting one for so long due to the price, I regret to inform you that it is INCREDIBLE. There are so many attachments to help you achieve so many different styles, my hair feels healthy when I use it, and I’m able to get more volume and bounce in my hair than I ever have before. I love love love it.

Tula Face Cleanser

This is another one that I’ve been using for years. The big selling point for me is that it’s gentle AND it takes off all your makeup.
