The 12 Best Beauty Sets at Target of 2023

Best Overall

Kopari Forever Faves Bath and Body Kit

Coconut oil is the star of the show for this brand and here you get three of their best-selling products. There’s a luscious body scrub, which buffs off dead skin cells with crushed coconut shells and brown sugar, and a full-size lip gloss that leaves your pout hydrated and perfectly shiny. But our favorite addition? Their coconut melt, basically straight-up coconut oil that works wonders on dry cuticles, as a body butter, hair mask…you name it.

Best Skincare

Sunday Riley Good Genes Power Couple Mini Kit

This is a top pick for Gatt, who says the duo packs a powerful punch when it comes to brightening your complexion. The kit comes with a retinol-based Luna Sleeping Night Oil and the brand’s beloved Good Genes Lactic Acid treatment (a long-time team Byrdie favorite). They are smaller products, but they’re great for travel, as well as an affordable way to check out the formulas before investing in their much pricier, full-size counterparts.

Best Makeup Brushes

Moda Brush Pro Full Face 13 Piece Makeup Brush Set

Pick up this guy and you’ll never have to buy a makeup brush ever again. It comes with every possible size and shape you could need or want, from an angled liner brush to a fan brush that’s great for highlighting to a dome-shaped blending option. They’re all made with vegan, cruelty-free, synthetic bristles that work equally well with cream and powder formulas alike, and we love that it comes with a carrying case to store your brush arsenal as well.

Best Budget

BYOMA Hydrating Starter Skincare Set

For less than $20, this trio offers pretty much everything you need from a skincare routine (all that’s missing is sunscreen). The brand makes skin barrier-strengthening formulas that are moisturizing and gentle, free of alcohol and fragrance, and a top choice for pretty much all skin types. Here, you get their jelly cleanser,  hydrating serum, and gel-cream moisturizer, all housed in a cute box.

Best for Nails

Olive & June Nail Polish Kit Greatest Hits

Anyone who loves a DIY mani will appreciate this set. You get a trio of the brand’s best-selling shades—a classic red, sheer nude, and bubble gum pink—alongside their super-shiny and long-lasting top coat. All the bottles are full-size, always a win in our book, and while this set doesn’t come with any nail tools, the brand does make a set of those that’s available at Target as well.

Best for Men

Bevel Men’s Skincare Kit

Don’t sleep on the awesome selection of men’s grooming goodies to be found at Target. Case in point: This set comes with basically everything he needs for an effective skincare routine: a cleanser, daily exfoliating pads (which are also great at keeping ingrown hairs at bay), and a gel moisturizer. The formulas are great for normal, oily, or acne-prone skin types.

Best Clean

Pacifica Vegan Collagen Facial Treatment

Another recommendation from Gatt is, “This is the perfect skincare trio to hydrate, plump, and reinvigorate your skin while traveling,” she says. There’s a creamy cleanser, night cream, and patches that work equally as well to depuff your under-eye area as they do to smooth out smile lines around your mouth. All of the products are not only effective, but also clean—Target has its own set of “clean” criteria, which makes it easy for those seeking out more natural alternatives to find products that fit the bill.

Best Fragrance

Being Frenshe Mood Boosting Perfume Discovery Set

In the market for a new signature scent? A fragrance set, like this is one, is the perfect place to start your search. Take five different eau de parfums for a test run; each one is named after a particular mindset or mood and features a unique combo of different notes. They layer nicely as well, if you like to mix and match, not to mention that the tiny vials are TSA-approved and great for travel.

Best for Hair

Pattern On-The-Go Kit

Travel-size products aren’t necessarily the most sustainable, but these are the exception to the rule—each of the small tubes is refillable. The set comes with a shampoo, conditioner, and leave-in conditioner, all of which work beautifully on a variety of kinky, coily, and curly textures. Plus, how fun is the packaging?

Best for Eyes

It Cosmetics Beautiful Together Eye Defining Trio

This trio comes with pretty much everything you need to create a perfect eye look, says Gatt of another one of her favorites. There’s a mascara (which both volumizes and lengthens, we should add), super pigmented and smudge-proof liner, and a brow pencil. Bonus points for the fact that the brow pencil comes in a universal shade that magically works for all hair colors.

Best for Lips

Nudestix Everyday Lip Nudes Mini Kit

“I love a longwear, non-drying, smudge-proof lip product, especially in more neutral tones, like these,” says Gatt. (There’s a dusty rose, deep raspberry, and rosy pink included.)  The mini size is also great to throw in your purse, and the trio of lip pencils even comes with a sharpener and a mirror, making application easier than ever.
