Editors' Picks: Holiday Sephora Favorites Kits

Like a little kid on Christmas, when I received some of the newest Sephora Favorites Kits on my desk, I ripped off the (clear plastic) wrapping and tore into the box. Then I felt like a kid in a candy store.

They were better than I imagined.

The imagery on the boxes may be enough to make you drool, but they do not do justice to the amazing products inside. To give you glimpse, I snapped these shots to share. But the best way to behold these one-of-a-kind collections is to get your own. Here are my top three to help you choose which to get--and give. ("Amazing gift alert," everyone.)

LashStash Mascara Deluxe Sampler ($140 Value), $40
This set of 10 mascaras (plus a sleek-spring-y Tarte eyelash curler) includes my personal favorites, Buxom Lash mascara, and Benefit BadGal. But it also features all the formulas I've been dying to try from MAKE UP FOR EVER, Josie Maran, Blic, Laura Mercier, SEPHORA COLLECTION, Hourglass, Too Faced (full-size!), and Tarte. Your winks will be absolutely spoiled.











Give Me Some Lip ($134 Value), $40
This fully stocked library of lip glosses will make any makeup fan giddy. Featuring different the silkiest of formulas and vivid, versatile shades, this collection includes favorites from LORAC, Smashbox, Buxom (full size!), SEPHORA COLLECTION, Too Faced, Tarte, and Cover FX. I have my eyes on the Smashbox Lip Enhancing Gloss in "Tease" (a sultry wine color) and the Cover FX Mint Glaze Moisturizing Lip Treatment.










Glitz & Glam Shimmer and Shine Makeup Deluxe Sampler ($121 Value), $39
There's no better time than now to stock up on party makeup--and this box is the holy grail of holiday glamour. The sparkliest glosses, the most shimmering shades, the prettiest powders. Containing a LORAC Multiplex gloss, Josie Maran Bronzing Argan Oil,  NARS Orgasm Illuminator, and eight other dazzlers in too-cute-for-words mini sizes, it might just make you squeal with excitement.
