Looking to find the perfect beauty gift? Beauty editor, Polly Blitzer tours one of her favorite destinations, Sephora.

"This place has you covered," says Polly, "Whether you need stocking stuffers, hostess gifts, or something truly over-the-top."

The holiday season is the best time to find color palettes and multi-piece sets. Sephora offers a bit of everything at a great value.

"Splurge on a bottle of their favorite fragrance or look for sampler sets so they can try something new," says the beauty editor. Sephora even includes a voucher with the sampler sets that you can redeem for a full-size bottle.

Don't overlook hair and skincare! Holiday sets often include travel-size bonuses that are fantastic on the go.

If you're still not sure what to get, Polly says you can't go wrong with a gift card for a Custom Makeover at the Sephora Beauty Studio to help them find their favorites.

If you have any questions Sephora's experts are also always on hand to help. "They're like your personal holiday concierge," says Polly.

And...the best part? They Gift Wrap!
