Christmas: it is hands-down our favourite time of the year, for so many reasons! Whether it is the hearty Christmas food, or magical Christmas lights, or the limited edition festive beauty gift sets – Christmas is really all sorts of wonderful.

One of the biggest reasons why we love Christmas so much has to be the license we have to shop for hours at Sephora, for that perfect gift for our pals. (As if we needed any excuse to be in Sephora, really!)

Sephora’s signs have already gone sparkly red in anticipation of Christmas – that’s your cue to pop on over! Whether you’re getting something for your entire squad, or that one item for your treasured BFF, these will surely make them feel beautiful and pampered! 

13 Awesome Christmas gifts from Sephora:

1. Clinique Great Skin 1-2-3

Clinique’s best-selling 3-step skin care set is now available in a limited edition festive pack that is only available in Sephora! The routine’s three simple steps are so effective because each step builds on what the previous step does, enhancing the effect by the end. The pack includes: (1) Liquid Facial Soap, a gentle cleanser that rinses off easily; (2) Clarifying Lotion, that sweeps away dead skin cells that cause dullness and excess oil that is the culprit for your breakouts; and (3) Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion+ or Gel, that helps your skin retain moisture throughout the day.

Comprising travel-sized bottles of the popular skin-care set, you can choose between a dry-combination pack or combination-oily pack. Your friends will love the custom-fit routine that promises great skin no matter what their skin type is! This retails exclusively at SGD19 at Sephora.
