Today's Top Deals
As a Beauty Writer, I’ve been covering these holiday gift sets from Ulta, Sephora, and Nordstrom for years, so I know a thing or two about which ones are actually worth getting. Allow me to let you in on a little secret — beauty gift sets are low-key Black Friday deals. The sets usually have a high value, like $150, but only cost $70. You can try out some price-y skincare like La Mer or makeup products like Mac without going over your budget. There are some sets for the generalist who wants to try everything and for the superfan of a specific brand, like Charlotte Tilbury.
But because these gift sets are so beautifully packaged and secret deals, they do go pretty quickly. If you want to get your hands on a set, you should start shopping for one now. Everyone will be trying to beat shipping delays, so the sooner you place your order, the better. When determining which ones to include in this list, I thought about the price, the brand and whether there were cult-favorite products inside.
With that said, here are the best beauty gifts to shop right now.
