So you might be thinking, oh its just November, but Christmas is not that far away! Until last year, I always got my Christmas gifts (including me to me gifts, lol) last minute and I always seem to face the same hurdles: line ups & products being out of stock (which is already the case right now with some things online)! Last year I took a stance and decide to have an early start & shop everything almost two months ahead! When I found something adorable or something I knew my family or friends (or myself….) loved or wanted to get for themselves, I got it! I took advantage of pre-Chistmas deals, items being in stock & it turned out to be a very Merry Christmas for all – everyone was really happy with their gifts and that made me happy. Honestly, when Christmas comes around, I take a lot more pleasure watching loved ones open up their gifts than opening the ones I am receiving; there is just so much joy in giving :)

One of my favourite spots to shop for gifts is Sephora – I am seriously obsessed with this store. Ever since it opened its doors in Montreal, I was over the moon and it’s a rare occasion that I shop elsewhere for makeup! As such, I put together a list of my top 15 favourite gifts from Sephora, no matter your budget! I am currently trying out some of these products, so expect product reviews very soon!
