Need a last minute stocking stuffer?

So I had a $20 coupon to Sephora the other day and ran in to replenish my Clinique facewash, toner, etc. To use the $20 I had to spend $40, so I looked around the travel size section in the check out line and stumbled upon these:

The Korres Lip Saver Roll ($19.50). Since I am totally obsessed with any and all items chapstick/lip butter/lip soothing related I decided to try this out. SO glad I did because I LOVE them. They are silky smooth with fun pops of color. I like them much better than the Burt's Bees tinted chapstick. I haven't been disappointed by any Korres products so far. They are "green"--free of all the synthetic goo that is often found in makeup, and they smell great, and most importantly, they WORK. Each individual one retails for $10, so if you are looking for a last minute stocking stuffer this is a great deal!

Sephora Gift sets

As hard as it is to believe, it's almost Thanksgiving. And the catalogs, they are a coming in the mail. I got a flyer from Sephora last week. They actually have some nice gift sets to choose from this season. A fun thing to do is buy a few sets and combine to gifts for friends. Here are a few of my favs. They by no means cover all that is available--there are 145 sets for sale right now. The names of each should link you to Sephora where you can purchase. And I'll go ahead and say that I got all the pics off Sephora's website (if you can't tell!)

Fresh Sugar Set ($28) Cause we could all use a little sugar during the holidays. Fresh products also get great reviews in beauty mags and blogs.

Sephora Glitz and Glam Sampler ($39) For all those holiday parties where you need to look your best. Great deal for all these products as well. I'm probably going to purchase this for myself.

Marc Jacobs Lola Set $70 is an extremely good deal for a spray and body lotion. The spray alone is usually $68.

Stila Lip Glaze Set ($25) I have this and it's fantastic. Would also be fun to break up into stocking stuffers for girlfriends.

OPI 18 mini set ($48) Another fun one to break up for stocking stuffers. Lots of cute colors too! You all know how I lurve me some nail polish...they also have a full size set of 6 ($42) HERE

Korres Never Enough Set I think these would make great teacher/coworker gifts. Each person could get a body wash and matching body butter. I really like their guava scent. And that body butter is THICK.

Philosophy The Gingerbread House ($20) I love Philosophy body washes. They smell like you could eat them. And the bottles tend to last for-eva.

Pacifica Tuscan Blood Orange Wanderlust set ($28) This stuff smells FANTASTIC. A great hostess gift as well.

They also have a wide variety of cologne, shaving, and skin care sets for men. If you are a Sephora VIB or Beauty Insider, then check out their sales starting Thursday of this week. I believe they'll be having a special event at the store Thurs night as well. You can enter VIB20 at checkout online to get the deals.
