My Top 10 Ulta Gift Set Picks (A Holiday Gift Guide!)

Right now there are so many great gift sets coming out for the holidays, and Ulta Beauty has a lot of great choices! I’ve compiled my Top 10 list of which holiday gift sets that are available at Ulta are worth buying (or gifting) in my eyes!

I know it may seem early to be coming out with Holiday Gift Guides, but with my baby coming soon, I want to get these up earlier rather than later. Not sure what December is going to look like for me as I adjust to a new baby, but I hope you all will stick around as I figure out a new routine. 🙂 Anyways, let’s look at the first Ulta gift set I’m totally drooling over!

My Holiday Ulta Gift Set Picks

These are listed in no particular order. They’re all fabulous!

Real Techniques Bold Metals Essentials Set with Exclusive Metallic Clutch (Ulta Gift Set Exclusive!)

Retail Price: $69

What this Set Includes: This Real Techniques Bold Metals Essentials Set with Exclusive Metallic Clutch comes with a powder, eye and blush brush in a beautiful metallic clutch! Real Techniques put together this beautiful and exclusive essentials kit of Bold Metals makeup brushes, designed to reveal the makeup artist in you.

Why You Should Buy: These Bold Metal brushes are so fancy and beautiful…and rather pricey for the drugstore. For example, just the blush brush in this collection (middle brush) retails for $24. All the feedback I’ve ever heard on these brushes are that they’re great, in true Real Techniques fashion, and the gals who own them are glad they splurged. So why not take advantage of this value set that also includes this fancy white clutch?!

Not only is there the must-have, reliable black, but there’s also a more fun, sparkly purple and blue shade for the days when you feel just a little adventurous.

Now it’s your turn! What gift sets are you eyeing from Ulta?
