I find it so interesting how vastly different preferences can be. I, for one, love that the shades are all similar for the Sephora Favorites lippies because I only wear that specific shade. I do acknowledge that that won’t work for a lot of people so I do wish that they had color options for the sets. I also love the Summer Fridays lip balms and for me, they are the best in the market for my chronically chapped lips. I still do respect your opinions and will continue to enjoy watching your videos. ❤
I love the Kosas mini 3 blush set so much. I own so many blushes and none have hit pan and these baked blushes I’ve been using nonstop and they hardly look used. The baked formula dont kick up and this formula lasts forever. If you love Hourglass as I do these will be a favorite too. ❤
Hi, Sofia! Great video! I wanted the summer fridays set but you got me thinking that I would love to see a lip balm/oil video because it seems that you also struggle with dry lips (me too)
I was at my crappy Kohl's Sephora and I saw the summer Fridays lip set girl those things are micro mini they shrunk them they aren't worth it definitely mostly the tiny packaging and air they just put the testers out while i was there so i no . I wanted the Kosas set but swatched them and they all are to light for my tan skin and look ashy. The Denessa Myricks set was definitely worth it all around for me. I have a few others I'm going to purchase like the BB face base love it and I'm out so that's a good deal with the sale for me. I really want the Westman set but I'm not super in love with that hot pink shade and wish it was the red bichette or garcone those are the 2 i want besides meme. I have a few hair sets in cart to . Macy's is having a sale they have some good sets too and they are having 15% off and some stuff like Tom Ford is like 30% off the new quad terra bronzer and lip gloss set is even a better deal then Sephora
I Was disappointed with the size of The Lawless Lip gloss set and the Farmacy green clean set. Had I seen in Store prior to Purchasing… I wouldn’t have bought. 🤷♀️😟 I am Very Happy with The Kosas Set. Thank You Sofia‼️‼️😊💕
I bought the Summer Fridays mini set before the sale and love it. I’ve been using them daily for a few weeks, and haven’t used them up yet. My nephew LOVES these lip balms, so he’s getting that mini-set as part of his Xmas gift during the sale. Perfect for a little stocking stuffer or people who like some skincare but don’t want color necessarily.
I would recommend the westman atelier lipstick set, but *only* if you really like the lip formula - the formula is very very unique, and nothing like what is on the market, and I can see why people might not like it - it is absolutely beautiful formula, moisturizing, and so pigmented, yet somewhat sheer-like too - like the formula has strong pigment but does not rely on the thickness of application to deliver this color (hard to explain) - it is very slippy and seems like it will slip away until it sets a little, but it is easy to apply and stays on better than initially it would seems (still a bit slippy for the first hour) - it is also very heavily made with coco-butter - some people find coco-butter to be drying so there’s that - sometimes for some formulas, it’s drying for me (I have no idea why), but not in this case for me - also, real coco-butter has a very strong scent and taste - like chocolate - I used to hated it, but I use it as a moisturizer and got used to it - the lipstick formula feels like 1/2 cocobutter and 1/2 waxes … if anyone is familiar with coco butter;it is very very melty and slippy … and pigment is max (though there are lighter colors especially in this set) So I would only recommend the set if you have already tried the lipstick, bc 3 lippies are a huge investment for a very different and somewhat odd formula that is either going to be a love/hate for sure - 2 colors are new and only in the set, and they are gorgeous - one color is one of their basic colors, which is easy to wear - and the packaging is absolutely gorgeous and also super unique, innovative, luxury to the max I do wish the sets gave some discount … but also, WA is too bougie - but WA entices with limited new colors and gorgeous new packaging - however, if you love these lippies and already bought all her colors, these new colors are not far different from some of the old ones… none of the colors are super unique anyway … it just the formula that’s super unique - that may be a *no* for some people who have a lot of lipsticks I do absolutely agree that any of the blush sets are an easier buy bc I think everyone would love the blush formula - the lipsticks are a definite unique and niche purchase - imo 😊- sorry for long comment -- I’ve been into formulas lately and comparison 😅 - I love to dig deep into why, how, and what
Thanks for review, Sofia ❤ bought this Hourglass brush set lately and it is a perfection, the same quality as OG but with a golden finish ! Purchased couple of sets from BK last year during holiday sale , it’s cheaper but not even close to hourglass quality. Unfortunately
I was considering the Saie mini dew blush trio but now it’s sold out 🤪 For holiday scents I HIGHLY recommend Jo Malone’s Ginger Biscuit & Orange Bitters travel duo. Soooo delicious paired together 🥰 I love the colors of the highlighter and cheek sticks in that WA set! Always appreciate your critical reviews Sofia 🥰
@ imo that’s the better duo to get!! at least on me ginger biscuit lasts a long time especially on clothes and combining the two smells even better o me 🥰. enjoy!!
I bought WA mini blush set and a hair set from Amika along with their nourishing mask in the biggest size. I adore this mask. Hoped for a nice set from Kerastase but on their original website variety is much better
I passed on Drunk elephant too! I have been collecting for the past 3 to 4 years and this year I skimped out because the suitcase does not look cute or worthy of the high price!
Omg, thank you for the heads up on the TF fragrances! 😮 what in the overpriced tiny doll world is this set for! LOLOLO - I didn’t realize they were that small- I can just see me getting this and laughing with broke tears when these teeny tiny bottles showed up - I was even looking at this - whoo, saved 😅 - it’s super easy to buy samples from other sites - not in cute doll sized bottles, but still….
I took an a BK Beauty girl. That said, the one brush I do love at Sephora is the Rare Beauty pinched cheek brush. I use it all the time for cream blush. Happy shopping!
I think the other problem with the drunk elephant case is if you are a collector, they did have another carry-on suitcase a few years ago, which is the only time I’ve bought this set
Hi Sophia, how do you find the component of the Merit trio? The reviews are not great and now it’s sold out online but one of my local Sephora’s may have it in stock. I haven’t tried the Merit lippies before. Thanks for the recommendations. Thx. J. 🙂
I got the merit lipstick set and blush set too, it's very nice. I wanted the westman cheek set, but it's sold out online on sephora canada. The sephora aren't great, but if you have 2-3 in there that you like, it's worth it and the bag got me too, too cute.
Im looking for myself as "testers" for my mature 57 yo tan combo skin. Im very particular about shades (to compliment my dark tan skin) and formula of makeup: shine lipsticks and satin formulas for blush, bronzer, highlighter, eyeshadows, and foundation. Unfortunately many of the sets do not meet my preferences
I love the style of this video. I have found that the Sephora gift sets are generally not worth it for me. There are usually only 2 or 3 products that I want and they rest of them just go into my Posh beauty bundles. I'd rather just buy one product that I really want even if it is not a good deal. I want those Kosas blushes. I hope they restock them. I generally don't like the Sephora blushes - find that they shed a lot. I'd rather buy Rephr or Sonia G and buy better but fewer brushes. I also prefer natural hair brushes as I find that they pick up product easier. I prefer the Chanel gift boxes over Dior even though they are expensive. Chanel gives you a really nice cosmetic bag. I am going to buy the Jo Malone set based on your recommendation. I had been wanting to try some of the scents in this collection and this is a good opportunity to try them.
In the past, brands used their sets to promote the brand to customers so they normally were attractive in content and price. They use to put minimum 1+ full size best seller, 1+ full size new product, samples and a nice box/bag. The price would be the price of the normal size products, samples and bag were a treat. Today, I do think they use the sets to both get rid of inventory and improve their margin before the year ends. They build these sets as cheap as possible and charge ridiculous prices because they know that people use these kits as Christmas presents. I see this as a direct attack to customers intelligence but if people keep on buying they will do it again. If the products are like half size of the original, in desirable shades and they charge a fair price, I do not mind but that is not what I saw. It is a pity that the Westman atelier set does not have 1 bronzer+1 highlighter + blush instead of 3 blushes. Drunk elephant I stopped buying when they came with the cooler. Nothing against the suitcase is the price for what comes inside that bothers me. The Sephora sets, I will not even bother to comment…

Thank you. I shopped yesterday in store and online. Mosted excited for my WA minis and trying my first YSL quad along with a Patrick Ta duo.
Thank youuu, this was so helpful!
Your reviews are the BEST!❤❤❤❤
I love the Merit set. It’s really pretty! Can’t wait to get the new mauve shade in the new formula too 😍
I'm so glad you like it!
Thanks Sofia! This is helpful! I got myself the DM set… so pretty and a great value!
I love the Kosas mini 3 blush set so much. I own so many blushes and none have hit pan and these baked blushes I’ve been using nonstop and they hardly look used. The baked formula dont kick up and this formula lasts forever. If you love Hourglass as I do these will be a favorite too. ❤
WA Mimi is perfection. Love it
Yay! Love these videos! Your recommendations are so good!!
Such an informative video and so glad you're loving your new Holy Grail Trio!
Hi, Sofia! Great video! I wanted the summer fridays set but you got me thinking that I would love to see a lip balm/oil video because it seems that you also struggle with dry lips (me too)
I was at my crappy Kohl's Sephora and I saw the summer Fridays lip set girl those things are micro mini they shrunk them they aren't worth it definitely mostly the tiny packaging and air they just put the testers out while i was there so i no . I wanted the Kosas set but swatched them and they all are to light for my tan skin and look ashy. The Denessa Myricks set was definitely worth it all around for me. I have a few others I'm going to purchase like the BB face base love it and I'm out so that's a good deal with the sale for me. I really want the Westman set but I'm not super in love with that hot pink shade and wish it was the red bichette or garcone those are the 2 i want besides meme. I have a few hair sets in cart to . Macy's is having a sale they have some good sets too and they are having 15% off and some stuff like Tom Ford is like 30% off the new quad terra bronzer and lip gloss set is even a better deal then Sephora
Agree, i have dark tan mature skin . Im thinking DM and BB too
I Was disappointed with the size of The Lawless Lip gloss set and the Farmacy green clean set. Had I seen in Store prior to Purchasing… I wouldn’t have bought. 🤷♀️😟
I am Very Happy with The Kosas Set. Thank You Sofia‼️‼️😊💕
I bought the Summer Fridays mini set before the sale and love it. I’ve been using them daily for a few weeks, and haven’t used them up yet. My nephew LOVES these lip balms, so he’s getting that mini-set as part of his Xmas gift during the sale. Perfect for a little stocking stuffer or people who like some skincare but don’t want color necessarily.
We can always count on you for honest feedback. Thanks, Sofia!
I would recommend the westman atelier lipstick set, but *only* if you really like the lip formula - the formula is very very unique, and nothing like what is on the market, and I can see why people might not like it - it is absolutely beautiful formula, moisturizing, and so pigmented, yet somewhat sheer-like too - like the formula has strong pigment but does not rely on the thickness of application to deliver this color (hard to explain) - it is very slippy and seems like it will slip away until it sets a little, but it is easy to apply and stays on better than initially it would seems (still a bit slippy for the first hour) - it is also very heavily made with coco-butter - some people find coco-butter to be drying so there’s that - sometimes for some formulas, it’s drying for me (I have no idea why), but not in this case for me - also, real coco-butter has a very strong scent and taste - like chocolate - I used to hated it, but I use it as a moisturizer and got used to it - the lipstick formula feels like 1/2 cocobutter and 1/2 waxes … if anyone is familiar with coco butter;it is very very melty and slippy … and pigment is max (though there are lighter colors especially in this set)
So I would only recommend the set if you have already tried the lipstick, bc 3 lippies are a huge investment for a very different and somewhat odd formula that is either going to be a love/hate for sure - 2 colors are new and only in the set, and they are gorgeous - one color is one of their basic colors, which is easy to wear - and the packaging is absolutely gorgeous and also super unique, innovative, luxury to the max
I do wish the sets gave some discount … but also, WA is too bougie - but WA entices with limited new colors and gorgeous new packaging - however, if you love these lippies and already bought all her colors, these new colors are not far different from some of the old ones… none of the colors are super unique anyway … it just the formula that’s super unique - that may be a *no* for some people who have a lot of lipsticks
I do absolutely agree that any of the blush sets are an easier buy bc I think everyone would love the blush formula - the lipsticks are a definite unique and niche purchase - imo 😊- sorry for long comment -- I’ve been into formulas lately and comparison 😅 - I love to dig deep into why, how, and what
Entirely helpful. I bought the gifts before the sake and used up my points.
Thanks for review, Sofia ❤ bought this Hourglass brush set lately and it is a perfection, the same quality as OG but with a golden finish ! Purchased couple of sets from BK last year during holiday sale , it’s cheaper but not even close to hourglass quality. Unfortunately
Great video thx!
I bought the Fenty gift set, cinnamon butter lip and body cream
I was considering the Saie mini dew blush trio but now it’s sold out 🤪
For holiday scents I HIGHLY recommend Jo Malone’s Ginger Biscuit & Orange Bitters travel duo. Soooo delicious paired together 🥰
I love the colors of the highlighter and cheek sticks in that WA set!
Always appreciate your critical reviews Sofia 🥰
I planned on getting the ginger biscuit. Sadly it’s sold out. Thank you for sharing about the travel size. I was able snag one.
@ imo that’s the better duo to get!! at least on me ginger biscuit lasts a long time especially on clothes and combining the two smells even better o me 🥰. enjoy!!
I bought WA mini blush set and a hair set from Amika along with their nourishing mask in the biggest size. I adore this mask.
Hoped for a nice set from Kerastase but on their original website variety is much better
New subscriber, thanks for your total honesty and great reviews!
I passed on Drunk elephant too! I have been collecting for the past 3 to 4 years and this year I skimped out because the suitcase does not look cute or worthy of the high price!
I want blush, but I already have so many. I have to use some up first.😂
Omg, thank you for the heads up on the TF fragrances! 😮 what in the overpriced tiny doll world is this set for! LOLOLO - I didn’t realize they were that small- I can just see me getting this and laughing with broke tears when these teeny tiny bottles showed up - I was even looking at this - whoo, saved 😅 - it’s super easy to buy samples from other sites - not in cute doll sized bottles, but still….

First time watcher. Subscribed!
I think the other problem with the drunk elephant case is if you are a collector, they did have another carry-on suitcase a few years ago, which is the only time I’ve bought this set
You crack me up when you talk about the Sephora sets 😂😂.
😇😇😇
Hi Sophia, how do you find the component of the Merit trio? The reviews are not great and now it’s sold out online but one of my local Sephora’s may have it in stock. I haven’t tried the Merit lippies before. Thanks for the recommendations. Thx. J. 🙂
We know we can always count on you to really guide us versus constantly pitching for Sephora! Thank you!
I got the merit lipstick set and blush set too, it's very nice. I wanted the westman cheek set, but it's sold out online on sephora canada.
The sephora aren't great, but if you have 2-3 in there that you like, it's worth it and the bag got me too, too cute.
Myrrh and Tonka is amazing on my husband 😍😍😍 smells so so good on him. I really love it 🤤🥰
Yes it’s good for men as well!
Thank you Sofia. I will not be purchasing the Sephora gifts sets. I appreciate your opinion!
I appreciate you so much!
I’m sad I missed the Westman blush set - it’s sold out in Canada and they don’t even have the option to be notified of a restock 😭
Great video, Sofia. Thank you! :)
Im looking for myself as "testers" for my mature 57 yo tan combo skin. Im very particular about shades (to compliment my dark tan skin) and formula of makeup: shine lipsticks and satin formulas for blush, bronzer, highlighter, eyeshadows, and foundation. Unfortunately many of the sets do not meet my preferences
Great video!
Merit lipstick set has been sold out since the sale started unfortunately. No idea if they’ll be restocking.
I like the DM blush set. For me. I don’t own any. Also they have rare beauty’s I need that one. And. And and 😂😂
I love the style of this video. I have found that the Sephora gift sets are generally not worth it for me. There are usually only 2 or 3 products that I want and they rest of them just go into my Posh beauty bundles. I'd rather just buy one product that I really want even if it is not a good deal.

The merit lip set appears to be sold out at Sephora. I don’t know if they’re going to restock it or not.
Just saved myself some money 😂
Can anyone tell me what that red purse isnin the back please

Great thoughts!
Jo malone is so overrated considering they sell cologne not real perfumes... the price cant be justified.
the kosas didnt work for me, they all looked the same on my skin.
Your top two are sold out 😢 online.
$595….crazy. It’s not luxe beauty like Chanel or Tom Ford, Westman. This is a fad brand
💜💜💖
