September 2026
Here’s what’s on my radar — a mix of the value sets I always stock up on and a few individual pieces I’m hoping to add to my collection.
Dior Forever Skin Glow Foundation — $60
This is the one I’m most curious about. It’s Dior’s new hybrid foundation-meets-skincare formula — medium-to-buildable coverage with a natural, lit-from-within glow rather than a heavy, full-coverage finish.
Sephora Favorites Makeup Experts Kit — $85 (a $281 value)
Thirteen pieces from some of the best makeup artists in the game — primer, setting powder, lip and eye products, even a full eye palette. This is the kind of set where you’re basically guaranteed to find a new favorite.
Dieux Hydration-on-Loop Instant Angel Firming Moisturizer Gift Set — $49 (a $70 value)
A regular size plus a travel mini of my Instant Angel moisturizer. I love this one enough that a backup, ready to travel with me, is an easy yes.
YSL Make Me Blush 24H Buildable Blurring Powder Blush in Berry Bang — $46
I’m a sucker for a good blush, and this berry shade looks like exactly my speed for fall.
Saie Glowy Super Gel Duo (Sunglow + Starglow) — $32 (a $47 value)
A full size and a mini of Saie’s cult liquid highlighter in two different glow tones. Great way to try both without committing to two full sizes.
Sephora Favorites Holiday Must-Haves — $59 (a $179 value)
This one’s loaded — skincare, setting spray, blush, body butter, lip products. A great value if even a few of your favorite brands are in there.
Sephora Favorites Cozy & Clean — $45 (a $140 value)
A clean-beauty-focused set with primer, blush, mascara, bronzer, and lip products. Great for trying clean formulas you haven’t gotten around to yet.
Dior Forever Skin Glow Foundation — $60
I’ve heard so much about the glow this foundation gives. Ready to try it for myself.
Sulwhasoo Cleansing Duo Set — $55 (a $78 value)
A gentle cleansing foam and cleansing oil duo for a proper double cleanse. Sulwhasoo never misses for me.
Medik8 Liquid Peptides Line Smoothing Serum — $68
A 30% multi-peptide serum that’s been on my list for a while. Excited to add this into my routine.
Armani Effortless Eyes Duo — Eye Tint in 67S Sparkle + 22M Cashew
A simple two-shade eye tint duo for easy, effortless eye looks. I don’t have a confirmed price on this one yet, so I’ll update once I track it down.
A few notes if you’re building your own list: these holiday sets are such a great value for the quality of items inside — perfect for trying something new, or for stocking up if some of your favorites happen to be in one. Even better, there’s usually a sale around late October/November. If you’re Rouge like me, that’s typically 20% off most items; Beauty Insider is 15%, and everyone else gets 10%. If you’re not a Beauty Insider yet, sign up — it’s free, and there are a lot of ways to save, especially during your birthday month.
I’m so excited for the holiday season this year. More wishlists and hot items coming soon.
