What you need to know about Sephora's holiday sale

Whether they're for you or someone else, beauty products make exceptional gifts. Beauty minis, such as a quality concealer, can serve as fun stocking stuffers. A comprehensive makeup set, however, is a thoughtful gift that can be used year-round. Right now, all of these items and more are on sale at Sephora's hugely anticipated holiday sale.

What is Sephora's holiday sale?
