Though buying and receiving makeup is fun all year long, the holiday season is prime time for all things beauty.  From lip kits, to shadow pallets, to 24 day-long advent calendars, the beauty industry goes all out during the winter months. With mixed sets, deals are around every corner, but it is truly the amazing holiday packaging that grabs the attention of the consumer.  Boxes shaped like miniature stores, palettes shaped like chocolate bars, and containers resembling human figurines, encourage consumers to scour the market hoping to collect as many of the limited edition goods as they can.  Many even begin purchasing these holiday sets as soon as they hit the market in early September.  With the number of brands creating holiday lines growing rapidly, I am going to highlight the top 5 sets of this season.

1. SEPHORA COLLECTION: HOLY SHEET! Set

This unique set has made top of the list as it is an incredible deal and total pamper product.  The kit, valued at $100, is selling for just $48!! “A set of 19 best selling products for eyes, hands, feet, and face—it’s the ultimate spa treatment.”

2. Ciaté London: Mini Mani Month Nail Polish Set

Ciaté, famous for its annual nail polish calendars and amazing packaging, has taken to the market again with this beautiful new set.  “A nail polish advent calendar with 18 mini nail polishes, two nail toppers, two nail treatments, a full-size polish, and a nail file.”

3.  Sephora Favorites Trending: Beauty’s Most Coveted

This amazing kit makes the list, because of its great variety and value.  “A multi-branded sampler set of beauty’s most coveted SPF, lip, eyeliner, setting spray, lipstick, mascara, and primer products.”  Priced at $75 while actually worth $219, I definitely recommend picking this one up.

4. Too Faced: Grande Hotel Café

A rendition on last year’s Le Grand Chateau, this Too Faced set is perfect altogether or split up into smaller gift for friends.  “A makeup set with 18 eye shadows, two blushes, a bronzer, a mascara and a how-to guide for looks that are perfect for the season.”

5. Benefit Cosmetics: Sassy Lassie “Chick Picks” Beauty Bestsellers Kit

And lastly, what holiday gift set guide would be complete without a taste of Benefit?  This brand has been a champion of the holiday season for years and certainly will not disappoint this winter.  “A limited-edition holiday set, featuring a bestselling mascara, face primer, gel eyebrow color, and matte bronzer in a collectible tin.”
