It can be hard to shop for gifts during the holidays, especially for beauty lovers who always seem to have everything they want.  

Luckily, Sephora is packed with new releases and popular favourites, from hydrating lip treatments and bestselling makeup to fragrance sets and beauty-filled advent calendars. 

Whether you're shopping for a friend, partner, family member or treating yourself, here are 15 picks worth wrapping up this holiday season (and earning CAA Dollars while you do!) 

Laneige Midnight Minis Hydrating Lip Sleeping Mask Treatment Gift Set 

Midnight Minis Hydrating Lip Sleeping Mask Treatment 5 pc. Gift Set

Price: $31.00 

Why choose one flavour when you can try five? This limited-edition gift set includes mini versions of Laneige's bestselling Lip Sleeping Mask in Berry, Vanilla, Lemon Sorbet, Mango and Watermelon Pop.  

The overnight treatment helps keep lips feeling soft and smooth while you sleep, which comes in handy when cold weather and dry indoor air start to take their toll. It's also a fun way to try five versions of this South Korean brand's bestselling formula. Plus, the minis are perfect for tossing into a purse, travel bag, or your bedside drawer.  

Topicals Faded Under Eye Brightening & Clearing Eye Masks 

Faded Under Eye Brightening & Clearing Eye Masks

Price: $30.00 

A good pair of eye masks can make even the toughest mornings feel a little more manageable. This set includes six pairs of cooling patches designed to help brighten the under-eye area and can be used two to three times a week whenever your skin needs a refresh. 

They're small enough to tuck into a stocking or gift basket and can be worked into a skincare routine long after the holidays are over. 

Dae Mini Cactus Fruit 3-in-1 Styling Cream Taming Wand Trio Set

Mini Cactus Fruit 3-in-1 Styling Cream Taming Wand Trio Set

Rhode Pocket Pair Limited Edition Lip + Cheek Set 

Pocket Pair Limited Edition Lip + Cheek Set

A great blush and lip product can do a lot of the heavy lifting in a makeup routine, and this Rhode set delivers both. This gift combines the brand's popular creamy Pocket Blush and hydrating Peptide Lip Tint, making it easy to add a touch of colour on busy mornings.  

Both formulas are buildable and easy to wear, whether you're going for a natural glow or a more polished look. Chances are, these two products won't spend much time sitting on the shelf. 

HUDA BEAUTY Kiss Me Lip Contour Stain and Lip Jelly Gift Set 

Kiss Me Lip Contour Stain and Lip Jelly Gift Set

The result is buildable colour, lasting wear and plenty of shine without the sticky feel. 

For anyone who can never have too many lip products, this duo is likely to be an easy win.
