Sephora Splurges: Gifts Over $100

If you’re looking to wow someone, these Sephora splurges will do the trick.

1.) Gabrielle Chanel Eau de Parfum

Sephora

In 2017, the house of Chanel launched its first new scent in 15 years: Gabrielle. Named after Ms. Gabrielle Chanel herself (Coco was just a nickname), this is Chanel’s in-house perfumer Olivier Polge’s first scent for the brand. Prior to partnering with Chanel, Polge created fragrances for Burberry, Giorgio Armani and Viktor and Rolf’s Flowerbomb.

Gabrielle is a classic floral fragrance with hints of jasmine, orange blossom, Grasse tuberose and ylang-ylang. The scent is sweet but not too sweet and perfect for day or night. Plus, this elegant perfume comes in a redesigned classic Chanel Number 5 bottle, which true Chanel fans will love.

2.) Airwrap Styler From Dyson

Sephora

Dyson perfected the vacuum and has pretty much perfected the traditional curling iron with its new Airwrap styler.

This tool is not just a curling iron: it’s perfect for at-home blowouts of all type. We will warn you – the Airwrap Styler is expensive, so if you’re not looking to splurge, keep reading. However, if you have a lady in your life who loves having the latest and greatest in hair care and loves styling her long locks, then this is the perfect gift for her. Why? It’s designed for all hair types and utilizes Coanda air styling, which won’t dry hair or damage with extreme heat. Even better? It’s simple to use.

3.) La Mer Eye Concentrate

We’ve searched high and low for the best under-eye cream. We looked at creams to combat puffiness, dark circles, wrinkles and more, and at the end of the day, our number one choice was clear: La Mer Eye Concentrate.

Yes, it’s expensive, but yes, it’s worth the price. The cream is lightweight and dramatically reduces the appearance of dark circles, discoloration and puffiness in just days.

4.) Slip Beauty Sleep Collection

Sephora

Do you have a someone in your life that needs a good night’s sleep but can never seem to get one? If so, check out the Slip Beauty Sleep Collection. The set contains a silk pillowcase and silk sleep mask. These products will not only help induce sleep, but silk has been proven to keep your skin and hair looking (and feeling) healthier.

Plus, the products are paraben-free, sulfate-free and phthalate-free, so you can feel comfortable knowing that you’re shopping sustainable fashion. Need more gifts for someone that needs a good sleep? Check out our gifts for insomniacs.

Whether you want to jazz up your traditional work garb or go all-out for a New Year’s Eve party, this palette has you covered. This is the perfect Sephora gift for makeup lovers.

If you’re not a beauty lover, we’ll keep it simple and tell you the palette contains varying shades of pinks, purples and nudes. However, if you’re good with color and want to know the specifics, the colors are as follows:

2.) REPLICA’ Memory Box – Maison Martin Margiela

Sephora

Maison Martin Margiela is the scent of the season. Ok, it was last season as well, but it’s still relatively unknown by those that don’t keep up with the latest fragrance trends. While the REPLICA’ line has been around in Paris since 1994, they’re near impossible to find the U.S., which makes it one of the most sought-after fragrance lines.

Maison Martin Margiela scents don’t come cheap, and the trial sizes are the perfect way to get to know a new scent.

3.) Give Me More Lip Kit

Sephora

This multi-brand, multi-color lip kit is fun and perfect for those that love playing around with color. And what better a time to play than during the holidays? With New Year’s Eve just around the corner, thisis the perfect gift to liven up any outfit.

This kit contains five full-size and nine deluxe lipsticks in a variety of shades and finishes (all bestsellers, of course). Brands include Yves Saint Laurent, Nars, bareMinerals, Marc Jacobs beauty and more.

4.) Fresh Cocoa Body Exfoliant

Sephora

Everyone loves a good exfoliant,especially in the winter months. There’s nothing better than scrubbing away the dead skin to leave your body feeling refreshed, remoisturized and silky smooth. This Cocoa Body Exfoliant from Fresh is one of our favorites.

A mix of cocoa and cocoa butter infuse this decadent scrub, which is known for its antioxidant and nourishing properties. Your giftee will love the chocolatey smell and how soft their skin feels afterward.

Sephora Stocking Stuffers: Gifts $25 and Under

Don’t forget about the stocking stuffers! These Sephora gifts — all under $25 — are proof that good things come in small packages.

1.) L’Occitane Hand Cream

Sephora

Whether you live in NYC or Florida, chances are the weather is a bit drier than you’re used to and your skin is feeling it. We love L’Occitane hand creams, which is why they top our list of Sephora stocking stuffers.

These hand creams contain 20 percent shea butter. Hand creams not only hydrate, but also lock in moisture. The cream also contains coconut oil, honey and marshmallow root extract and have soft, yet not overpowering scents. Plus, these creams are only one ounce, so they are perfect for even the smallest of clutches and airplane travel!

2.) GlamGlo SuperMud Charcoal Face Mask

Sephora

We at Top 5 are obsessed with face masks, and GlamGlo is one of our faves. While we love sheet masks (especially when we travel), there’s just something about an old-fashioned mud mask that can’t be beat.

GlamGlo’s SuperMud Charcoal Face Mask helps to minimize pores while helping to soothe and clear your skin. Holidays can wreak havoc on your complexion, which is why a good face mask is key. In addition to charcoal, this SuperMud formula has a mix of six acids: glycolic acid, salicylic acid, lactic acid, mandelic acid, pyruvic acid and tartaric acid. The charcoal helps to remove dirt and other congestions, and the acids help to purify the skin, leaving it healthy, clear and bright.

3.) Moroccan Oil Treatment Ornament

Sephora

There’s a reason Moroccan Oil (technically knownas Argon Oil) is known as “liquid gold.” Rich in vitamins, it keeps your skin hydrated, your hair nourished and fights the signs of aging.

This sample size Moroccan Oil, in ornament form, can be used for conditioning, styling and finishing and is perfect for all hair types. A little goes a long way, too. While it may look small, a bottle this size can last for months.

4.) Sephora Gift Card

Sephora

When in doubt, go for the gift card. It’s the perfect gift for the most discerning of beauty lovers. Gift cards are beloved by all, as they allow the giftee to buy what they really want, rather than be surprised.

Sephora’s has physical gift cards as well as E-gift cards, and they start at just $10.
