The gifts sets from Sephora have an awesome selection of products and this set is no exception.

These deluxe samples are large enough to warrant the price and these are some of the most popular lip products on the market right now.

This is my favorite gift set from Sephora. Choosing a perfume can be very difficult. The best way to decide if you actually like the scent is to try it for a week. This sampler kit allows you that opportunity with high-end brands like Chloe, Versace, Marc Jacobs, Prada, Tom Ford and many more. In all, there are 15 samples and the best part, a voucher for a full size of your favorite sample.

The best affordable skincare brand is First Aid Beauty. Unlike drugstore skincare products, these products feel high-end for a low price. If you have sensitive skin, you’ll be able to use these products without having a bad reaction. This set includes the facial radiance pads, the face cleanser, and the ultra repair cream. Their ultra repair cream is perfect for moisturizing your face before you apply your makeup. I also enjoy the face wash because it is creamy and lathers.

If your budget is a little bit bigger, then the skincare gift you should get is this set. Philosophy makes some of the best skincare products hands down. This set includes two of their signature facial cleansers: Purity and Microdelivery. Purity is my favorite cleanser to remove makeup. It’s very gentle, the fragrance is light, and it works with all skin types. The Microdelivery cleanser is an exfoliating mild chemical peel treatment that is easy to use. Unlike traditional chemical peels you will feel no burning or discomfort. It’s also safe for daily use which most chemical peels aren’t.

The shampoo alone cost about $13, so this gift set has is a great value.
