Don´t ya just love a good sale? Especially when things that are rarely on sale FINALLY get a discount! Tomorrow is the the first day the Sephora Holiday Sale! It’s the perfect time to stock up on old favorites, get started on Christmas shopping, and maybe snag something for yourself! I’m going to share my picks from this year’s Sephora Holiday Savings Event! 
That New New
The majority of the things that I am after this year are from Selena Gomez’ Rare Beauty Line. Sorry not sorry, but the Lip Soufflé Matte Liquid Lipsticks are AMAZING. I have heard nothing but good things about the foundation, so I’m going for it! I’m also grabbing a few of the smaller gift boxes to give away for Christmas!
The second thing I’m getting myself is an eye serum. Are we surprised? All of this teletherapy and online learning and meetings and then running a blog and you tube channel after hours has been UNKIND to my skin.I’m giving the Laneige eye sleeping mask a chance. I’m obsessed with the lip sleeping mask, so I think it’s going to be great! I do also want to try this caffeine serum from The Ordinary, but it wasn’t in stock at my local Sephora. It’s SOOOO affordable, so I may just grab it whenever I see it.
Tried and True Products
When I find something good, I rarely stray from it. I’ll never not use the It! Cosmetics CC+ Cream. I have only used the illuminating one, but I think I’m ready to give the regular one a shot (I actually just placed the mini one in my cart as I typed this!).
I THINK that this is the one time of year you can get the DYSON blow dryer on sale and if you’re thinking of getting this baby- which I 10/10 would recommend, do it now! They came out with a copper version for the Holiday season, which is so cute! I wish I could vouch for the Dyson Hair Wrap because I think it is so interesting, but I have yet to try it!
Summer Fridays has the best hydration masks and their Jet Lag mask is a must have! I LOVE wearing this when my skin feels “BLAH.”
Stocking Stuffers
Annoyingly, I ordered a BUNCH of minis for stocking stuffers or gift ad-ons BEFORE this sale. Lucky for you, I’m giving you my tips while there is a sale going on! I LOATHE the idea of giving gift cards at Christmas time. What I do is break up a set (lip balms, lipsticks, variety sets) and I’ll be adding a little lip balm or mascara to make a fun gift for good friends! Note: I KNOW we all LOVE a gift card, but I feel like they can seem a little impersonal. What do you think?
Gift Ideas
One of my favorite gifts to give during the Holiday season are eyeshadow palettes. They’re an investment that I personally find hard to make. My mom always wants the most sparkly palette, so I’m thinking the Amrezy Palette for her! This Too Faced palette is on my personal list because it’s got the prettiest neutrals…and sparkles! I am definitely my mother’s daughter!
For your girlfriend that lives for a budget beauty sponge, you can gift her the original beauty blender (with wash) to start off the year on a fancier foot!
Whooo! This post definitely developed into something bigger than I intended! I just get so excited about getting gifts! Speaking of, I have some ideas already, but let me know what you want to see when it comes to gift guides! I have some GREAT ideas actually- I’m thrilled about it! Eeek! THE MOST WONDERFUL TIME OF THE YEAR IS ALMOST HERE!!!! Happy Monday, lovelies!
Love & Lipstick,
