15 Makeup & Beauty Gift Sets You Can Buy Now Without Breaking the Bank - Musings of a Muse (2025)

Happy Monday! We’re nearing the middle of the month and Halloween will be here soon. Every single store I visit is really promoting Christmas heavily and has been since the end of September. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again it comes earlier and earlier and earlier every year. I just want to enjoy the Fall but it’s a little difficult to do when both my online and offline life is filled with Christmas, Christmas, and more Christmas. Just let me enjoy the leaves, spooky movies, and pumpkins a little while longer! I’m either getting really old or I’m not remembering the Holidays coming so fast and furious. I remember as a kid it didn’t start until after Thanksgiving.

I think we can all agree that we’ve pretty much got the entire roundup of makeup and beauty Holiday releases to choose from. It’s all out there and available. We may see one surprise drop or two during Black Friday and Cyber Monday but as of now I’d say all the Holiday Makeup and Beauty Gift Sets and Collections are here and ready to buy. And the Sephora Holiday Savings Event 2024 really starts the sale season in about two weeks time. But I’ve round up a few makeup and beauty gift sets you can buy now if you want to treat yourself to a little something sweet without breaking the bank.

Here are a few $40 and under gift sets worth hauling now!
