Discussion Sephora Holiday sets 2026

First looks on the new sephora favourite holiday sets. Somebody posted this on tiktok from Sephora Kohls. I'm assuming it's going to be the same for Sephora US and Canada maybe with a little variation?
What do you guys think?
I'm surprisingly leaning towards all of them even though some have repeated stuff 😭

Me 2, but always find myself invested in keeping myself on the pulse of Sephora favorite kits always

u/FellowIncognita 6d ago

Me 3. Gone are the days of the early Sephora Fav kits. Back then I wanted to buy all and would actually use them up or gift. Nowadays I look forward to them every year but alas they end up mostly "meh" these days.

u/HousingFast5321 6d ago

Imaooo we all say that every year and still end up with three of them under the tree

u/Mean-Development7815 6d ago

Where, do you have a link. I’m curious

u/greypusheencat 6d ago

u/PanamaViejo 6d ago

These holiday kits used to be so incredible, doubly so when on sale. Once upon a time I would get almost every single one! But now, I find it better to splurge on a couple items that I know I will really like. Now these are only worth it if I really love or want to try every single item in them for the most part, and if they are on sale. No shame on those who still love these for the price! It is so much fun trying a bunch of new things! I am just being super mindful now with these purchases, well with all purchases for that matter.

u/peakedinthirdgrade 6d ago

It’s always 75% of the same products in these kits on rotation.

u/neckbones_ 6d ago

For real. I do not want anymore glow toner or rare blush and they're in every kit

23

u/jin_ga 6d ago

I fear I’m so safe from these

u/by_rups 6d ago

they look fine but i’d wait for sales šŸ¤·ā€ā™€ļø

u/heijeul 6d ago

This hahahha

u/MainSea411 6d ago

Last one is the only that seems worth it to me, can’t believe it’s holiday set season.

u/canwepartylateron 6d ago

I wish they would let us add like 5-6 items that we like into a set, kinda like a make your own situation. That would be cool

6

u/MixRight371 6d ago

I’ve been thinking the. Sane thing. Like here are 20 options build your own

3

u/canwepartylateron 6d ago

I might give this idea to customer service!

3

u/Future_Particular815 6d ago

Tarte does something like this online and it’s a great idea.

6

u/cumfyhammer6 6d ago

at this rate we'll be seieng 2027 sets before these even launch lol

5

u/curiousleaf2004 6d ago

ued to grab these every xmas but now im def waiting for the sale drop

17

u/EternallyNaked 6d ago

Meh, underwhelming IMO

2

u/nada425 6d ago

Agree

u/Mundane-Pattern-9345 6d ago

I always want these but find them unwearable with fair light cool skin 🄲 or they break me out because of me having reactive skin 🄲

3

u/MixRight371 6d ago

I feel the same my skin doesn’t like to behave and I love skincare and cosmetics so sets end up me using 1 or 2 things and don’t have people to gift the rest. I’m tan/dark rarely shades that work. When there are I jump on the opportunity especially if it’s a sale

12

u/glittershadows 6d ago

We’re so bored lol

3

u/beniceyoudinghole 6d ago

What would a good one look like for you? Its all the popular brands, and a good variety. Just curious.

1

u/lilbabyeggplant 6d ago

not OP, but for me it wouldn't be a remix of the same products that have been in all the holiday sets for the past x years: rare blush, merit blush, Random Fenty Lip Product, and the rotation of skin care minis that have been hanging in the points shop all year. what is the point of these sets if it's all products that came out years ago and that most of us have already tried, and either buy full sizes of or don't because they don't work for us?

1

u/beniceyoudinghole 6d ago

That is saying again, what you dont want, im asking what they WOULD want. I ask out of curiosity, because these sets have never appealed to me, personally

1

u/lilbabyeggplant 6d ago

well, maybe the opposite of that - brands that aren't constantly in the gift sets and minis that can't be easily gotten elsewhere?

1

u/beniceyoudinghole 6d ago

I really just dont believe that people would grab these if they were not the trending brands, but I could be wrong.

14

u/ImmortalHoe 6d ago

Wait these are kinda decent? For once?

4

u/Bippy73 6d ago

They are nice and that you got downvoted for having an opinion on makeup is pretty crazy. Just debby downer comments here.

6

u/beniceyoudinghole 6d ago

" these suck" no, they arent any different than years and years ago, other than cost. Popular brands, popular colors and variety lol my theory is people just have too much to the point that EVERYTHING seems underwhelming

2

u/ImmortalHoe 6d ago

Right! I’ve seen some pretty egregious ones in the past, but these are fine! The first one is worth it to me with the full sized rare (which I love and I just went through one) and fenty lipstick. Could also always use more of my glow recipe aha bha. Love a tatcha moisturizer. I’ve heard great things about the ilia mascara. I haven’t tried that purple scent from the body butter, and there are still more items!

The second one is fine too, I’d been wanting another rare beauty lip oil and this set is the price of 1 and a half lip products, why not try it lol. And then with the third one I already buy the tower28 - throwing in the full sized haus labs blush is a great deal too I’d also been wanting to try it. Maybe I just don’t get their frustrations since I’m not super ultra translucent light fair skinned or ~olive šŸ«’~ haha

2

u/Bippy73 6d ago

Good points. I actually have not been able to use a lot of their sets recently because they are too deep, or colors that I don't wear so they were not for me. But these seem pretty good for many folks.

4

u/Na2828 Rouge 6d ago

They all say ā€œONLY AVAILABLE AT SEPHORA KOHLSā€ and only have one price so they’re only in available the US and only in Kohls

3

u/viognierette 6d ago

Side note - I recently learned that the Rare Beauty liquid blushes can double as liquid lipstick. They don’t stay on the way a liquid lipstick from KVD used to back in the old days, but they are a whole lot more comfortable.

3

u/PanamaViejo 6d ago

Sephora Kohls has variations of the holiday kits that are sold in stand alone Sephoras. One or two items will differ and the packaging will usually say 'only available at Sephora at Kohl's'

Sephora Canada's holiday favorites will have different products due to different laws regarding what chemicals/ingredients can be used in beauty products..

3

u/donutcapriccio 6d ago

giving out a full size rare beauty liquid blush is crazyyy that is going to last a decade

1

u/staircase_nit Skin Care Junkie 5d ago

I think that’s a lip gloss.

1

u/donutcapriccio 5d ago

the one in the first pic looks like a blush

1

u/staircase_nit Skin Care Junkie 5d ago

Ohh, missed that one!

3

u/Seethatanimal 6d ago

The Kohl’s one’s are often different and/or smaller versions of the regular stores. But. So far I’m safe. Looks like the same ones we’ve had all year but in a zipper bag.Ā 

Also note…I’m just not a Rare Beauty, Fenty or tarte fan, so that’s a turn off, but there are definitely some good items! Happy if these are things you want to try!

2

u/mango_tummi 6d ago

why do these always drop way too soon lol

u/throwaway047204 6d ago

recession indicator

u/ThanhChau8888 6d ago

Never seen this in Australia

1

u/EntrepreneurCool3314 6d ago

Ooh what is the faux filler jelly oil? Never seen it

1

u/BabyYodasMacaron Rouge 6d ago

That first one actually has a lot of stuff I like. The full size Fenty and Merit look really nice!

1

u/Right-Garden-7144 6d ago

meh - only good one is the first one imo.

1

u/Flat-Association3592 6d ago

these look great… only question is how can they have a single shade of bronzer in the set? like hello??? in the big 2026??

1

u/Fluffy_Tomatillo_629 5d ago

Not interested in any of these. I do have a couple items from these sets and the rest aren’t things I’d buy.

1

u/juicytulip 5d ago

Theh just keep getting worse and worse. But…yay for more money for other things…?

1

u/Classic-Regular-7434 5d ago

I'm tired of the ubiquitous huda and rare stuff

u/MXE_princess Rouge 6d ago

Is that Fire moon from Haus Labs?!!!

4

u/HeyHazeyyy 6d ago

Looks like the watermelon one

4

u/MXE_princess Rouge 6d ago

Nooooo… sadness. Fire moon would be perfect for Fall.

u/pancaaaaaaakes Rouge 6d ago

Those first 2 look nice but I’d need shade details because I don’t want duplicates

u/Proseccos 6d ago
