The holidays are the most beautiful time of the year, and we’re not just talking about the twinkly lights and the sparkly decorations! Our beauty editors consider this the most beautiful time of the year because they can score great deals on beauty products that rarely go on sale. During this season we often see phenomenal deals on cosmetics, skincare, and haircare in the form of exclusive holiday sets that you can only get during these later months of the year.

Since holiday beauty sets are among our favorite things to shop for, we’ve put together a list of our top beauty sets of 2024. These sets are perfect for gift-giving, but you’ll also find us stocking up on a few for ourselves! We’ve also included a few insider tips to help you get the best deals possible as you shop for beauty products this season.


The Best Places to Shop for Beauty Sets

Sephora at Kohl’s

For all you Sephora lovers out there, here is a Brad’s Deals pro-tip: Shop Sephora at Kohl’s to double your rewards. When you shop Sephora at Kohl’s, you’ll earn Beauty Insider Rewards at Sephora AND Kohl’s Rewards.

With your Beauty Insider account, you earn 1 point for every $1 you spend at Sephora or Sephora at Kohl’s. You’ll get $10 off a qualifying purchase when you hit 500 points. With your free Kohl's Rewards account you earn 5% back in points on every purchase you make at Kohl’s. If you sign up for a Kohl’s Card, you’ll earn 7.5% back. These rewards accumulate in the form of Kohl's Cash which you can use like a gift card to Kohl’s.

Shopping Sephora at Kohl’s allows you to double your rewards which can really add up and help you save this holiday season!

Macy’s

Macy’s is one of our favorite places to score deals on beauty sets for gift-giving. Sure, we stock up on some gifts for ourselves while we’re there, but they often have hundreds of sets priced below $35 which makes them a great stop for gifts for coworkers, teachers, or hairdressers.

They don't call themselves the "fragrance destination" for nothing. Macy's is absolutely the best place to score a great deal on name-brand fragrance sets. Keep your eye on exclusive sets that you can only find at Macy’s. Their Fragrance Sampler Sets are huge sellers every year, so be sure to set a deal alert to get the best price!

Signing into a free Star Rewards account will get you free shipping when you spend $25, so you can stock up on beauty without getting hit with enormous shipping fees.

Ulta

Ulta is a beauty-lovers dream around the holidays! During this time of year, they have the best selection of gift sets from brands that rarely go on sale. For example, this Pureology Hydrate Sheer Holiday Kit comes with a shampoo, conditioner, and hair treatment for $74. These items would cost $109 if you bought them separately. Since brands like this rarely go on sale, holiday gift sets are your best bet to save on them.

Ulta also has a great rewards program that can help you increase your savings. Signing up for an Ulta Beauty Rewards account will earn you points back for every $1 you spend. These points accumulate for discounts on future purchases. When you download their app, you’ll have access to coupons that can help you earn bonus points during certain times of the year. These points are super easy to earn during the holiday season and are a great way to earn some extra money back.
