I feel like one of my favorite things that Sephora does is their Sephora Favorites kits - and if I had my way, I'd probably buy all of them. Since the Sephora Favorites Winter Skin Saviors Set is no longer available - and I only got my hands on it because my local Sephora still had a couple in store right after Christmas - I wasn't sure whether to review it. However, I also decided that I want to do a new series here on the blog where I do mini reviews of mini products. I actually try a lot of things in smaller-than-full size because I like to try things but don't often go through them, but it can be hard to give a full review when I don't necessarily have enough product to give a full test. Anyway, for my first foray into Mini Mini Reviews, I want to talk about all of these products after testing them for a few weeks.

Like most Sephora lovers, I love when they release their Sephora Favorites kit. Generally, you end up getting a selection of really great products at a really great price. Because I actually do kind of love deluxe sizes of a lot of makeup products - if only because I can almost never get through anything - these are the perfect kits for me. My favorite, and I suspect a lot of people's favorite, is the Give Me Some Lip kits. I love the large sized ones, which contain a ridiculous number of lipsticks, but I actually love the smaller kits even more! The last one that they released was the Give Me Some Nude Lip kit, and I absolutely loved it, so I clearly had to get my hands on the new Give Me Some Lip kit. 

In case you feel like you missed out, I tried two Sephora stores and they were both sold out, but the next time I went back they had several on the shelf, so if you've tried to get ahold of it and haven't been able to... try try again!

Anyway, keep reading for a look at all of the products included in this kit!

So I have to admit...  I literally just picked up the Sephora Favorites Give Me Some Nude Lip set last night. However, since it completely sold out online in no time at all, I figured I should get this up while it's still in stores. I actually had to ask one of the girls at Sephora if they had this and she had to go out to the back and find one for me, which makes me suspect that these aren't actually on store shelves yet - which is GREAT! That means that after this post, you can head right out to Sephora and pick this set up!

I love Sephora Favorites sets. I feel like they're always a great value and packed with really great products. If I could justify it, I would actually probably buy all of them. This particular set comes with 5 nude lip products of various types, shades, and finishes. There are 2 full size items in this set and 3 deluxe samples - at least I think so, but I'll get into that as we look at the products!

It's that time again! I love Sephora Beauty Insider sale time, because it's pretty much the only time you're going to actually see a sale at Sephora. Otherwise, you'll only find things on sale when they're clearing out. Of course, this is also the time that all of us beauty junkies put together a wishlist of all of the things that we want to pick up during the sale - since the 15% off really helps to justify buying all the makeup. Right? RIGHT? 

Anyway, I got a little sidetracked with what I was intending to post today, so I decided to do a little bit of wishlist shopping on the Sephora website and decided to post my wishlist. There are a couple of items in this wishlist that I technically have, but I will explain why I love them as they're listed.

Without further adieu, keep reading to take a look at my picks!

So... Let's be honest... This post is basically an excuse for me to fantasy online shop for my own gifts, most of which I will not receive, but also an opportunity to make suggestions for those of you who might be picking up gifts for a beauty obsessed friend or family member this year. This really is the most wonderful time of year for us beauty lovers because companies far and wide are putting together their gift and value sets, usually expertly curated and greatly discounted. It's admittedly pretty hard to keep one's self from ordering them all for her hoardy little self. And by "one", I clearly mean me. 

So without further adieu, keep reading for a look at my picks for Palettes, Value Sets, and Stocking Stuffers. Just as a warning, some of the stocking stuffers might seem a little bit spendy, but I tried to keep them all small and $30 or under.
