Things have been crazy on my end, but I wanted to fit in one last feature before the holidays. Sephora Collection always release my favourite stocking stuffer-type products, and this year is no exception! I love their kits, the variety of everything, and the sheer number of great products that the brand manages to push out for under $20 a pop.
Sephora Collection stocking stuffers
Okay. My big pick from Sephora Collection this year? Their sheet masks. They have a ton, and they’re so. darn. cool.
Each mask is $6 USD/$8 CAD, and the variety is wild: everything from The Silver Mask, a foil mask that’s enriched with pearl extract to brighten out dull skin (perfect for the holidays) to the detoxifying, spirulina-enriched The Bubble Mask. The Sephora Experiential Masks Set upgrades the brand’s masks from stocking stuffers to main gifts: it contains their charcoal sheet mask, mud mask, bubble mask, and 3-minute primer mask.

Even cooler is the Sephora Give Me Some Glitter Set ($10 USD/$13 CAD), which includes three sizes and colours of glitter alongside a lightweight adhesive. It’s designed for the hair and body, but let’s be real: every makeup lover out there will be immediately using these glitters on their face. I love the chunky silver glitters in this set!
Finally, the Sephora In the Blink of an Eye Palette ($6 CAD) is a little on the sheer side, but awesome for the price. These neutral eyeshadows create a really natural-looking eye on fair to light skin, and fit neatly into a little holiday clutch.

Last-minute Sephora Collection gift ideas
Going for the big last-minute gift, Sephora Collection offers two things that I think are awesome: their annual mega eyeshadow palette (in a lovely star theme this time), and a tube of brushes that I can’t stop using.
The Sephora Star Catcher Eyeshadow Palette ($28 CAD) houses 34 eyeshadows at a crazy-cheap, already-on-sale price. It’s more or less what you’d expect; none of these eyeshadows will knock your socks off, but none of them are total duds, either. They’re medium-opacity shimmers and mattes that are a little dry, but wear well over a primer.

Sephora Rising Star Canister Brush Set
Sephora Rising Star Canister Brushes (I love those glitter star handles!)
While I’m not always a big fan of mega eyeshadow palettes, I can make an exception during the holidays. This one stuck out to me in particular thanks to its muted palette—a lot of these are shades that I would wear.
And finally, before I drop off the face of the world for the next little while (everyone needs a holiday break, and my fibro and I are going to take this one very seriously): the Sephora Rising Star Canister Brush Set ($49 CAD). These brushes are velvety-soft, and the brush roll is perfect as both a glittery brush stand and an easy-to-transport kit. I love the domed foundation brush for both powder and liquid, and the angled contour brush is thin enough to use on the nose as well as the cheekbones.
Happy holidays!
