Beauty gift ideas from the Sephora collection

Buying presents for your friend, mum or girlfriend can be stressful. Chocolate can miss the mark if they’re on a diet, and clothes can end up at the back of a wardrobe or worse, the return pile. The Sephora collection is full of products they’ll both need and want including beauty essential sets, relaxing mask treatment sets, eyebrow kits and plenty more. There are affordable products for eyes, lips and cheeks in a wide range of colours and finishes.

Looking for birthday, anniversary or celebratory treats? We're here to provide beauty inspo and put the spotlight onto some products we think she'll love!

Not sure which product she'll like the most? Ensure plenty of choice with a luxurious beauty set. The Love Trust And Fairy Dust Vault by Tarte contains a little bit of everything: an eye and cheek palette, a gentle brush set, a high-impact mascara and a subtle glitter pot.

Other beauty essential sets include facial sets and skincare sets. She might like the Pixi Flash Forward Facial Set which comes with a facial peel, glow tonic and soothing balm. Alternatively, opt for a skincare set that includes a skincare device such as a carat massager. These are designed to increase collagen production for a glowy finish.

Brush sets

Every girl needs a trusty makeup brush or five! Gift your friend a beauty essential set she’ll definitely use in the form of a handy brush kit. The Rose Golden Luxury Brush Set comes with eight handcrafted brushes, each expertly designed for use on a different area. Some feature tapered tips to fit small areas while others create a wide fan shape to distribute powder over larger sections of skin. The Sephora collection also boasts a travel size Mini Brush Kit from 3CE and a Vegan Brush Set from ZOEVA. Want to get really funky? Opt for the Minutes To Mermaid Brush Set by Tarte - we promise you’ll have never seen anything more Instagrammable!

Eyeshadow palettes

Eyeshadow palettes make a great gift because they’re fun, colourful and you can never have too many. The Mixology Eyeshadow Palette from the Sephora Collection features 18 eye colours grouped by shade into a blendable combination palette. Whoever receives this gift can craft the exact hue they want and have fun in the process.

For glamorous companions, you might instead opt for the Toasted Eyeshadow Palette from Tarte which contains warm, rich shades in both glitter and matte finishes. Each eyeshadow is crafted with blendable Amazonian clay for a gorgeous long-wearing finish.

Contour palettes

If your friend is about skincare prep rather than colour pops, you'll find gift inspo in the Sephora contour palette collection. The Shade + Light Contour Palette from Kat Von D Beauty knows exactly what it's doing: light and dark shades work together to create realistic depths and shadows. Contour perfection!

Mask treatment sets

If you can’t afford to gift them a spa treatment, never fear - a mask treatment set will do the same job minus the hefty price tag. The Multi-Mask Collection by Wei boasts detoxifying, brightening and anti-ageing benefits thanks to extract of golden root, brown sugar and bee venom. Simply smooth it onto the skin and wait for the miracle ingredients to soothe and brighten. Sounds like something we’d like to gift to ourselves!

Highlighter kits

Pretty highlighters enhance every complexion so why not opt for a highlighter kit as a confidence-boosting gift? She might like the Screen Queen Highlighter Palette containing three pigment-rich luminisers in bronze, pink and white. Mix and blend them to adapt to any skin tone and achieve the desired level of glow. For something a little funkier, pick up the Killawatt Foil Freestyle Highlighter Duo from Fenty Beauty. The highlighters come in vibrant shades like pink, blue and orange - perfect for daring ladies!
