We love a good drugstore beauty buy [1], but there are some items that we feel are worth their high price tags, and when we want to shop for something splurge-worthy, we turn to Sephora. [2] Not only does the beauty megaretailer have just about everything we could dream of, they've also got an incredible loyalty program that rewards you the more you spend. So, when you do decide to splurge on that face cream you've been eyeing from afar or that eyeshadow palette that has every shade you could imagine, do it at Sephora.
From Jo Malone scents that everyone will love to standout serums and the hair dryer that's on everyone's holiday wishlist [3], these are the 16 luxury products we'd recommend splurging on at Sephora. They're pricey, sure, but they're the picks that are truly worth the hype. Plus, they make great gifts! [4] If only our medicine cabinet was filled with these standout products.
