With the holidays rapidly approaching we need to get on point with our shopping lists. I personally haven’t even begun to buy but I have started to make my plan of attack. My attack begins with making those lists. Lists of people I need to shop for and some ideas on what to buy them. Generally those lists end up here in a round-up of sorts and I usually always make my own list of holiday beauty gift sets that are completely awesome.

With this also comes a list of ways to maximize savings. I look for coupons, deals, sales and cash back websites… generally every avenue I can think of to save money. Because holiday in the beauty world literally started to launch in August and is now running full steam I wanted to make my first round up of the year focused on the Must Have Holiday Makeup Sets. Because Sephora is the place where I spend the most money on things like this and also their Friends & Family Sale is coming up I thought it’d be the perfect place to start.

ANASTASIA BEVERLY HILLS Mini Liquid Lipstick Set ($25.00). A top-notch formula with three Mini Liquid Lipsticks in Dazed, Bittersweet, and Hudson. Perfect for trying out the brand and the shades are fabulous for Fall and Winter.

BENEFIT COSMETICS Head Over Hills Set ($49.00). 4 must-have makeup items to get you through the holiday without looking like you’re struggling. 😉  Heyyyyyy, Hoola.

BEAUTYBLENDER Midas Touch ($25.00). I love me a new beautyblender and I just love how this one looks like an ornament. So cute and the perfect little gift to give a beauty lover for the holidays!

 

 

BITE BEAUTY Champagne Discovery Lip Set ($35.00). This triple lip threat is stunning worn alone or all layered. Perfect for holiday without being that typical red.

BURBERRY Liquid Lip Velvet Set ($45.00). Four Liquid Lip Velvets in different yet still fabulous shades. YES, Oxblood is one of them!

CIATÉ LONDON Chloe Morello’s Beauty Haul by Ciate London Volume 2 ($49.00). Round 2 of the CIATÉ LONDON x Chloe Morello collaboration looking just as gorgeous as the first! I love when a brand rocks a collab and then follows up with more. You don’t always have to listen to fan response, but you do have to keep it in mind.

 

 

CIATÉ LONDON Snow Globe Collective: Kiss Set ($35.00). I feel like this is such a lip theme holiday post lol I really do love this set because of the Snow Globe look and I’ve heard such good things about their liquid lipsticks. This would be such a great way to try out a few of them at once!

DYSON Blown-A-Ouai Set ($399.00). This hair dryer is AWESOME and with this set you get some awesome hair care too! A $500 value.. definitely worth putting on a wishlist if your budget allows.

KAT VON D Everlasting Mini Liquid Lipstick Set ($49.00). 8 mini liquid lipstick shades including Madrid, which is exclusive to the set. This is one of my favorite liquid lipstick formulas and the mini set is a great way to try out the fun shades without over-committing!

 

 

NARS x Man Ray: The Kiss Velvet Matte Lip Pencil Set ($49.00). If I’m being completely honest it was absolutely the bag that drew me into this set first. BUT I am a total fan of the Velvet Matte Lip Pencils too!

SEPHORA FAVORITES Give Me More Lip ($68.00). A multi-brand, mega lip set in shades from nude to berry. A LOT of good brands, formulas and colors. Could it be the perfect lip gift?!

SEPHORA FAVORITES Superstars Everyday Must Haves ($75.00). I chose this set of products because it’s literally full of my favorite things. Like, if I could’ve curated a must-have set from Sephora, these items would’ve all made the cut. It includes 3 FULL SIZE products and 10 deluxe size – definitely all cult faves. A great way to have your faves on hand as well as have some for travel OR to try out some new things!

 

 

SMASHBOX Drawn In. Decked Out. Shadow + Highlighting Palette Set ($39.00). I LOVE the Cover Shot eye palettes and you’re getting TWO in this set PLUS a travel size Spotlight Palette in Pearl. Fantastic value.

TOO FACED Boss Lady Beauty Agenda ($58.00). I ordered this and another and I can’t wait for it to get here. If you love planners and you love makeup it’s a no brainer that you need to buy!

URBAN DECAY Little Vices Lipstick Kit ($25.00). These lipsticks are so good why wouldn’t you want some baby sizes?! Especially when one shade is brand new and two others are exclusive to the kit? Freaking adorable!

 

 

Okay.. there was totally a lip theme going on here and that was not what I intended! How is it that so many of the most awesome sets this year are lip sets?!

getting cash back

Now, the savings. For my shopping this year I’ve started using a new-to-me website called TopCashback. The first thing I noticed when I visited this site was that their cashback was a smidge higher for Sephora than others I’ve found which, at the end of the day, adds up.

You can search for any retailer at the top of the page and then when the options pop up at the bottom you can chose the one you’re looking for. Once you’ve found the retailer you’re looking for click the big red “Get Cashback Now” button and you’re taken directly to the website and you can begin shopping to earn your cash back. It also gives you some savings options & coupon codes at the bottom for the retailer you’re visiting.

One thing I REALLY love about TopCashback is that it tells you how long you can expect to wait for your cashback $$$ to show up in your account. IME it takes a little less than the estimated time given.

Right now when you TopCashback.com you’ll get a $5 sign-on bonus – so even more money back (exp 10/16).

I know there are a lot of options out there for TopCashback but at the end of the day it doesn’t cost anything at all to sign up and when you’re doing your online shopping it’s smart to chose the one that gives you the most percentage of your money back at that time.

Okay, go shop and then come back and tell me what you’re hauling!
