Sephora Splurges: Gifts Over $100
These Sephora splurges will do the trick if you want to wow someone.
1. Gabrielle Chanel Eau de Parfum
Sephora
In 2017, the house of Chanel launched its first new scent in 15 years: Gabrielle. Named after Ms. Gabrielle Chanel herself (Coco was just a nickname), this is Chanel’s in-house perfumer Olivier Polge’s first scent for the brand. Before partnering with Chanel, Polge created fragrances for Burberry, Giorgio Armani, Viktor, and Rolf’s Flowerbomb.
Gabrielle is a classic floral fragrance with hints of jasmine, orange blossom, Grasse tuberose, and ylang-ylang. The scent is sweet but not too sweet and perfect for day or night. This elegant perfume comes in a redesigned classic Chanel Number 5 bottle, which true Chanel fans will love.
2. Airwrap Styler From Dyson
Dyson perfected the vacuum and the traditional curling iron with its new Airwrap styler.
This tool is not just a curling iron; it’s perfect for at-home blowouts. We will warn you – the Airwrap Styler is expensive, so if you’re not looking to splurge, keep reading. However, if you have a lady who loves having the latest and greatest in hair care and styling her long locks, this is the perfect gift for her. Why? It’s designed for all hair types and utilizes Coanda air styling, which won’t dry hair or damage it with extreme heat. Even better? It’s simple to use.
3. Sulwhasoo Concentrated Ginseng Renewing Eye Cream
We’ve searched high and low for the best under-eye cream. We looked at creams to combat puffiness, dark circles, wrinkles, and more, and at the end of the day, our number one choice was clear: Sulwhasoo Concentrated Ginseng Renewing Eye Cream
.Yes, it’s expensive, but yes, it’s worth the price. The cream is lightweight and dramatically reduces the appearance of dark circles, discoloration, and puffiness in just days.

1.) Nars Ignited Eyeshadow Palette
Sephora
This limited-edition eyeshadow palette features 12 shades of shadow in matte, shimmer, and glitter. This palette works with all skin tones. Whether you want to jazz up your traditional work garb or go all-out for a New Year’s Eve party, this palette covers you. This is the perfect Sephora gift for makeup lovers.
If you’re not a beauty lover, we’ll keep it simple and tell you the palette contains varying shades of pinks, purples, and nudes. However, if you’re good with color and want to know the specifics, the colors are as follows:
- Hammamet (matte beige)

2. REPLICA’ Memory Box – Maison Martin Margiela
Maison Martin Margiela is the scent of the season. It was last season, but it’s still relatively unknown to those who don’t keep up with the latest fragrance trends. While the REPLICA line has been around in Paris since 1994, they’re nearly impossible to find in the U.S., which makes it one of the most sought-after fragrance lines.
Maison Martin Margiela’s scents are costly, and the trial sizes are the perfect way to get to know a new fragrance.
3. Fresh Cocoa Body Exfoliant
Sephora
Everyone loves a good exfoliant, especially in the winter months. There’s nothing better than scrubbing away the dead skin to leave your body feeling refreshed, moisturized, and silky smooth. This Cocoa Body Exfoliant from Fresh is one of our favorites.
A cocoa and cocoa butter mix infuses this decadent scrub, known for its antioxidant and nourishing properties. Your giftee will love the chocolatey smell and how soft their skin feels afterward.
Sephora Stocking Stuffers: Gifts $25 and Under
Remember the stocking stuffers! These Sephora gifts — all under $25 — prove that good things come in small packages.
1. L’Occitane Hand Cream
Whether you live in NYC or Florida, chances are the weather is a bit drier than you’re used to, and your skin is feeling it. We love L’Occitane hand creams, which is why they top our list of Sephora stocking stuffers.
These hand creams contain 20 percent shea butter. Hand creams not only hydrate but also lock in moisture. The cream also contains coconut oil, honey, and marshmallow root extract and has soft yet not overpowering scents. These creams are only one ounce, perfect for even the most miniature clutches and airplane travel!
2. GlamGlo SuperMud Charcoal Face Mask
Sephora
We at Top 5 are obsessed with face masks, and GlamGlo is one of our faves. While we love sheet masks (especially when we travel), there’s something about an old-fashioned mud mask that can’t be beaten.
GlamGlo’s SuperMud Charcoal Face Mask helps minimize pores while soothing and clearing your skin. Holidays can wreak havoc on your complexion, so a good face mask is vital. In addition to charcoal, this SuperMud formula has a mix of six acids: glycolic acid, salicylic acid, lactic acid, mandelic acid, pyruvic acid, and tartaric acid. The charcoal helps to remove dirt and other congestion, and the acids help to purify the skin, leaving it healthy, clear, and bright.
3. Moroccan Oil Treatment Ornament
Sephora
There’s a reason Moroccan Oil (technically known as Argon Oil) is known as “liquid gold.” Rich in vitamins, it keeps your skin hydrated and your hair nourished, and fights the signs of aging.
This sample size Moroccan Oil, in ornament form, can be used for conditioning, styling, and finishing and is perfect for all hair types. A little goes a long way, too. While it may look small, a bottle this size can last for months.
4. Sephora Gift Card
Sephora
When in doubt, go for the gift card. It’s the perfect gift for the most discerning of beauty lovers. All Belove gift cards allow the giftee to buy what they want rather than be surprised.
Sephora has physical gift cards and e-gift cards starting at just $10.
Suppose you or your loved one is obsessed with every Sephora beauty product. In this monthly box, you will receive five sample-sized products, always including a surprise extra sample. There are 15 variations of mystery samples, including makeup, skincare, haircare, body care, and fragrances, currently prevalent in the Sephora store. This will be the perfect box for someone who loves to try different beauty products out regularly.
