Sephora Holiday Kits Part 4

If you haven't noticed already, I have an extreme addiction to holiday/ value kits. I think they are a great value and they allow you to try so many different products.

Sephora Favorites Beauty Closet

This is a 21 piece set which includes everything from skin care to fragrance. This set contains pieces that the Sephora staff members reach for everyday. This kit is a whooping 118 dollars Canadian.

The set includes;
- Algenist Complete Eye Renewal Balm
- Anastasia Beverly Hills Mini Clear Brow Gel
- Ardency Inn MODSTER Smooth Ride Supercharged eyeliner in Gold
- bareMinerals READY Touch Up Veil Broad Spectrum SPF 15 in Translucent
- Beautyblender micro.mini
- Becca Shimmering Skin Perfection in Opal
- Bite Beauty BB for Lips in Flush
- Elizabeth and James Nirvana Black eau de parfum rollerball
- Formula X Nail Color in Fahrenheit
- Hourglass Veil Mineral Primer
- Josie Maran 100% Pure Argan Oil
- Julep Freedom Polymer Top Coat
- Lancôme Paris Lip Lover in 355 Framboise Etoile
- Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer Broad Spectrum SPF 20 in Nude
- Living Proof Prime Style Extender
- Ole Henriksen truth serum collagen booster
- SEPHORA COLLECTION Colorful Mono eye shadow in #32 Pop Idol
- Smashbox Camera Ready BB Cream Broad Spectrum SPF 35 in Light/Medium
- Stila Convertible Color in Peony
- Tarte Amazonian clay waterproof bronzer in Park Ave Princess
- Too Faced Better Than Sex mascara

This set contains 4 full size products. Although this kit is expensive, I think that it is worth it if you want to try a lot of products without paying the full price. I also really like the variety of this set. Overall, I think its a good buy.

Sephora Favorites Give Me Some Lip

This kit was out before the big Sephora Favorites Give me More Lip (I wrote about it here and here). This kit is a six piece lip sampler set that contains glosses, lipsticks and more. All of the lip products come in a pink or nude shade. This kit is 30 dollars Canadian.

This set includes;
- Urban Decay Revolution Lipstick in Naked
- Nars Lip Gloss in Orgasm
- Buxom Full On Lip Cream in White Russian
- Marc Jacobs Lust for Lacquer in Kissability
- Bite High Pigment Lip Pencil in Meritage
- Smashbox Be Legendary Gloss in Pout

There is one full size product in this kit. I think this set is great for people who only like pink or nude lip products or for someone who is just starting to wear lip products. Overall, this kit is a good value.

Josie Maran Winter Dreams Argan Color Collection

This kit exclusively contains Josie Maran products. This collection contains products that are go to products for a fresh faced look. This kit contains five products and costs 43 dollars Canadian.

The set includes;
- Argan Black Oil Mascara
- Argan Infinity Lip and Cheek Creamy Oil in Limitless Pink
- Coconut Watercolor Eyeshadow in Rio de Rose Gold
- Argan Illuminizer
- 100% Pure Argan Oil Light

This kit is winning in my book because it contains the Black Oil mascara (I wrote about it here). But, this kit contains no full size products. I know, you most likely won't need a ton of product from each of items in this kit but for 40 dollars, I would want at least a full size mascara.

Do you love value sets/kits as much as I do? Which value set has been your favorite? Let me know in the comments below.

Deluxe LipSurgence matte lip tints in
- Eternal (pinky nude)

Sephora Holiday Kits (Part Two)

I wrote about my top three holiday kits (here), but there is so many more coming out that I decided to write about more of them.

Sephora Favorites Glitz and Glam Sampler

This is a nine piece day to night make up kit. it contains Sephora's "most glamorous party essentials" and it is all packed into a cute make up bag. This set is 54 dollars Canadian.

The set includes;
- Smashbox Be Lengendary lipstick in Infrared Matte
- Drybar Detox dry Shampoo
- Deborah Lippmann Good Girl Gone Bad nail polish
- Laura Mercier Caviar Stick in Rose Gold
- Stila Cosmetics Magnificent Metals foil finish shadow in Metallic Dusty Rose
- Benefit Watt's Up! highlighter
- Make Up For Ever HD Microfinish powder
- Lancôme Artliner in Noir
- Sephora Collection false lashes in Astonish

I did purchase this set for my self. The Smashbox lipstick, the Deborah Lippmann polish and of course the false lashes are full size. Overall, I think this is a good set to buy if you want to try these products or if you know someone who is new to high end makeup.

GlamGlow Gift Sexy

This is a holiday kit that has been released from GlamGlow themselves. This kit contains three of GlamGlow's top sellers. This kit is a bit pricey at 76 dollars Canadian.

The kit includes;
- Thirstymud hydrating treatment
- Supermud clearing treatment
- Youthmud tinglexfoliate treatment

The Thirstymud is a full size product. You get a full size mask plus two travel size masks for the price of a full size. This is great deal if you already love the Thirstymud and want to try other products from GlamGlow.

Sephora Favorites Cleansing Ritual to Go

This is a small set containing three cleansers and a two step peel for amazing skin. This kit is 24 dollars Canadian, making it the cheapest kit we have looked at.

This set includes;
- Origins Modern Friction, Nature's Gentle Dermabrasion
- Boscia Tsubaki Cleansing Oil-Gel
- First Aid Beauty Face Cleanser
- Dr. Dennis Gross Alpha Beta Step 1 Peel Surface Refiner Peels
- Dr. Dennis Gross Alpha Beta Step 2 Peel Deeper Treatment Peels

I like the fact that this kit is all travel friendly and that you get three uses out of each peel step. I personally won't be purchasing this kit because of my overly sensitive skin but if you like to try different cleansers this is the kit for you!

That is part two of the Sephora Holiday Kits. What kits have you purchased? Have you purchased any of the kits I have mentioned?

Stay tuned for a Holiday Kits Part Three!

Every year Sephora puts out these amazing value set for the holidays. Some of these kits are available in stores and online now. I decided to put together my top favorite kits for today's post.

I am not sure if there is any full size products in this kit, if there is, I feel like it will be one of the glosses. I enjoy that this kit has so many different brands and many different formulas. This is the perfect kit to give to someone who loves lip products or to keep for yourself to expand your lip product collection.

Sephora Favorites Lash Stash

This is an 11 piece set of different mascaras. There is one full size product and a small bottle of eye make up remover. This kit is 54 dollars Canadian

The set includes;

- Benefit Cosmetics They're Real Mascara in Jet Black

- Buxom Lash Mascara in Blackest Black

- Josie Maran Argan Black Oil Mascara

- Kat Von D Immortal Lash 24HR Mascara

- Lancôme Paris Hypnôse Drama Mascara

- Sephora Collection Waterproof Eye Makeup Remover

- Sephora Collection Outrageous Curl Dramatic Volume AndCurl Mascara

- Smashbox Full Exposure Mascara In Jet Black

- Urban Decay Perversion Mascara

- YSL Mascara Volume Effect Faux Baby Doll

The full size product is the Smashbox mascara. I have purchased this kit for myself and my mother, we are both enjoying the kit. The mascaras that aren't full size are a great deluxe sample size, maybe even bigger than deluxe size. I really enjoy trying new mascaras and this kit allows me to try a great mixture. To be honest some of these mascaras I probably would never have picked up. I also enjoy that this kit includes newer mascaras as well as some classic ones.

Sephora Favorites Beauty Unmasked

This is a smaller sample set which includes 4 different masks from 4 different brands. The masks all have different benefits and uses. This set is 37 dollars Canadian.

This set includes;

- Origins Clear Improvement Active Charcoal Mask To ClearPores

- Boscia Luminizing Black Mask

- Peter Thomas Roth Cucumber Gel Mask
- Glamglow Thirstymud Hydrating Treatment

I personally love masks and I love trying new ones. This kit gives you the chance to try masks that are hydrating, detoxing, peeling and cooling. I don't believe there is a full size product in here, but all of the masks seem like a great deluxe sample size. I will be purchasing this for myself.

These kits were in my top three because they offer a great variety and have great sizes. These kits also have made the top three because I either have or will be purchasing these for myself. What holiday kits are you excited for?
