The Best Beauty Products to Buy During Sephora’s Holiday Sale

I won’t gatekeep—this has been my most-used hair product all fall and winter, and I have never (ever!) received so many “your hair is so shiny!” compliments. This lightweight shine spray smells amazing, it won’t leave your hair greasy or weighed down, and, last but not least, it will make your hair gleam like a 1990s shampoo commercial.

In my mind, healthy-looking hair = expensive-looking hair. If you’re looking for longer, lusher strands, I highly recommend these top-rated capsules from Nutrafol. (Oh, and if the thought of taking four pills a day makes you want to gag, I’ve seen great results just taking two.)

Hot tip—investing in a pure silk pillowcase is probably the easiest thing you can do to promote prettier hair and skin.

I don’t know anyone who hasn’t scrawled Dyson’s cult-loved Airwrap onto their holiday wish list at some point. True, it’s a hefty splurge, but if you’re a blowout person, it offers true bang-for-your-buck results. Plus, nothing screams wealth like bouncy supermodel hair—which is exactly what Dyson’s Airwrap can help you achieve.

This deep conditioner from Color Wow and celebrity hairstylist Chris Appleton couldn’t be more apt for the plot line of this story, but it’s truly one of the few hair masks that checks every single box—from repair and strengthening perks to unparalleled hydration and shine. You can blame the glossy results on the brand’s unique deep delivery system which does serious internal repair to your strands sans greasy aftermath.

I’m convinced every person who has ever loved or worn fragrance remembers the first “grown up” scent they bought for themselves. For me, it was Dior’s ever-iconic Miss Dior, and I have a nostalgic obsession with always keeping the elegant floral scent in my fragrance wardrobe. Even if my hair is thrown into a ponytail or bun, a spritz of this sophisticated hair mist instantly makes me feel more pulled together.

It is so rare that I fall head-over-heels for a new perfume, but Chloe’s L’eau de Parfum Intense took me by complete surprise in the best way possible. I normally tire of a fragrance after wearing it on repeat, but the high of raspberry, rose, and ambery woods has yet to wear off, and I simply can’t shut up about how good it is. This perfume truly smells like wealth to me.

I’ve loved L’Occitane’s Almond collection for nearly a decade, so I’m thrilled its made a feverish comeback thanks to TikTok. This firming body oil is French, luxurious, and 100% addictive. Plus, the lingering scent of almond and vanilla is pure heaven.

If it feels like every person you follow on social media is talking nonstop about this multi-tasking luminizer from Saie… you’d be completely correct. Use it as a primer, mix it with your complexion products, or simply pop it on the high points of your face like you would any other highlighter. The final result will be money, regardless of how you choose to use it.

If I could only wear one lip product for the rest of my life, it would be Hourglass’s Phantom Volumizing Glossy Lip Balm—it’s that impressive. I have almost every shade at this point, and the pigment, shine, hydration, and plumping are truly unmatched. I’ll be wearing Impulse—a sultry deep red—all season long.

I avoided contour products for years because they only ever made my skin look patchy and muddy. That said, my face has never looked more sculpted and defined than it has after discovering Merit’s ultra blendable sculpting bronzer.

A shimmery gaze goes with the holiday season like a cheese plate goes with a hearty pour of wine. So many shadows—especially ones that have a touch of sparkle—can look tacky, but this gilded palette from Natasha Denona only looks sophisticated and expensive.

Full disclosure, I’ve been a Latisse girly on and off for a few years now, but I swear this formula from Grande Cosmetics is just as good, if not better, when it comes to Bambi-fying your natural lash line. While I’ll always have a special place in my heart for mascara, I love going au naturel to trick people into thinking I was born and blessed with long, angel-like lashes.

If this glowy pink lip balm from Prada Beauty looks familiar, you’re not imagining things. It’s been viral ever since it made an iconic cameo in Sabrina Carpenter’s “Please Please Please” music video earlier this year. It’s a splurge, but it delivers long-lasting hydration to dry winter lips while also giving you a flattering dose of customized color thanks to the formula’s signature Micro-Blushing Technology, which adapts to your lips’ unique pH.

Nothing kills the mood faster than chapped, flaky lips. A great lip scrub will be your secret weapon for angel-soft lips all winter long, and it doesn’t get more luxe than this delicate minty number from La Mer. (And yes, the formula is infused with the brand’s signature Miracle Broth for ultimate nourishment.)
