The top beauty gift sets to snag during the Sephora holiday sale

ICYMI: Sephora’s highly anticipated annual Holiday Savings Event officially kicks off on October 28. As any beauty lover will tell you, Sephora sales don’t come around often, so consider it the perfect opportunity to load up on your favourite skincare essentials, invest in that pricey hair tool you’ve had your eye on for years or knock a few names off your gift list ahead of the holiday rush.

If you need a refresher on how it works, here’s a crash course: Rouge members—meaning those who spend a minimum of $1,000 in one calendar year—can save 20 per cent off all of their online and in-app purchases from October 28 until November 7 using the code SAVINGS. VIB members—which includes customers who have spent $350 a year—can save 15 per cent from November 1 to November 7, while all other Sephora members (a.k.a. Insiders) can save 10 per cent off from November 3 until November 7 using the same code. Plus, all Sephora Collection items are 30 per cent off during the entire sale period—no discount code required.

Ahead, we’ve curated a list of the latest limited edition Sephora-exclusive gift sets you can get your hands on during the sale, so you can score double the savings. Happy shopping!
