Sephora Holiday 2023 Gift Sets Have Me Scratching My Head

I receive a small commission if you shop through my link.

Sephora Holiday 2023 Gift Sets have arrived and I see a few cute items but there are others that have me scratching my head. I remember when they used to do these luxurious makeup brush sets with strong handles and beautiful brush rolls and makeup bags that the sets came with. I also remember the bigger Blockbuster Palettes that everyone went absolutely insane to grab and which sold out rather quickly. Now we get real cheap looking makeup brush sets which I can easily skip and tell people please get some Real Technique Makeup Brushes if you want something inexpensive but don’t splurge on these. We also get weird Mini Blockbuster Multi-Use Makeup Palette and 16 Pan Eyeshadow Palette with the weirdest selection of shades that make no sense to me at all. I mean, they literally do the least amount of work putting these shades together. I need to speak to the person who approved these because they simply awful. Strange primary pastel shades with washed up shades of nude just aren’t it. I can guarantee all this will be on clearance within the next three weeks.

I did see a few cute items that would make nice stocking stuffers like the Hot Cocoa Lip Sleeping Mask for $5 bucks and the #LIPSTORIES Lipstick Set which is $20 (the #LIPSTORIES Lipstick have always had a consistency great formula). But a lot of these items aren’t on the top of my must have Holiday List.

About the Muse

Isabella MuseIsabella is just an average everyday geeky girl who doesn’t blend her eyeshadow correctly, wears too much blush, and hopes she never finds her holy grail products because she likes the thrill of the chase so much. Her mission is to bring you super honest reviews on makeup, skincare, fragrance and all things beauty. She’s in no way an expert on the topic and she sure as hell isn’t a super model. But she’s passionate about makeup and is seeking like-minded individuals that like pina coladas, getting caught in the rain, and ones that enjoy spending hundreds of dollars at Sephora without feeling buyer’s remorse. If you’re that person feel free to reach out and leave a comment or follow me on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and Bloglovin‘.

    Their lip scrubs don’t work, and why would they make anything for your lips SCENTED with hot chocolate but not tasting like hot chocolate?! I mean, they dumped chemicals in there anyway (even though it’s supposed to be a “clean” formula), so why not go for it? lol

    There are a couple of lipstick sets in there that I’d probably be interested in for half the price, but honestly, most of these items just look so cheap to me.
