It’s almost time to start thinking about all the holiday madness and the gifts that you will be giving. But there is still a little time to think about yourself and maybe pick up a little “me” gift. Good thing about treating yourself now is that several companies are putting together great sets and kits to offer buyers great deals on their favorite products. If you look around you can find some absolute steals on kits that are not usually offered. Here are the top 4 that I found.
1. Philosophy Hope For the Best ($42, sephora.com)
What is Contains: A skincare set that contains some of philosophy’s best products.
- Purity Made Simple
- Hope In A Jar
- Eye Hope
What it Does: Looking younger and fresher doesn’t get any easier then with this kit. It is a simple regimen that uses some of Philosophy’s top products to help you achieve a younger-looking complexion. Now you can reduce the signs of aging and enhance your skin’s texture, well-being, and brightness without a ton of work. Each piece does something different but they work well together. Purity Made Simple gently and thoroughly cleanses, the beloved Hope In A Jar moisturizes magnificently, and Eye Hope pampers and perfects the eye area.

2. MAKE UP FOR EVER Aqua Eyes Kit ($29, sephora.com)
What it Contains:
- 2 Aqua Eyes Waterproof Eyeliner Pencil in Mat Black (black) and Star Black (black sheen)
- Sens’Eyes Waterproof Sensitive Eye Cleanser
What it Does: This is a must-have kit featuring two waterproof eyeliners and an incredible makeup-remover. Aqua Eyes is an award-winning, waterproof eyeliner that will knock your socks off. It is a two-in-one eye shadow and liner pencil that adheres to the eyelids and resists water even under the most extreme conditions. When you want to remove Aqua Eyes just use the gentle but effective Sensitive Eye Cleanser. Great for even the most sensitive eyes this cleaner will soon be something you can’t live without.

3. DiorShow Black Out Look – Catwalk Eye Makeup Kit ($24, sephora.com)
What it Contains:
- DiorShow Black Out Mascara in Kohl Black
- Mini 5-Colour Iridescent Eye shadow in Smoky Light
- Plush pouch
What it Does: Just the fact that this beautiful set contains Dior’s world famous Mascara is enough to pick it up. Add a gorgeous mini eye shadow set and a plush pouch and you have a real winner. You can get a runway-worthy eye look for an affordable price. The eye shadow goes on super smooth and provides rich color. The plush pouch, tied with a festive ribbon, holds your get-glam essentials with style.

4. Prescriptives Everything Eyes False Eyelashes ($26.50, drugstore.com)
What it Contains:
- Full-size False Eyelashes Plush Mascara in Plush Black
- Travel-size Lash Builder Mascara Basecoat
- Travel-size Quick Remover for Eye Makeup
- Travel-size Softlining Pencil in Cocoa
What it Does: If you want eyelashes so long that they look like false eyelashes then this is your kit. Packed with four must-have products for must-see eyes this set has all the essentials all in the perfect size to travel with. And they come packed in a cheerful yellow cosmetics bag. I love how there is a full size mascara and a different kind for travel. The pencil goes on super smooth. A must have kit.
