Sephora’s annual savings event kicked off today. Between Amazon’s Beauty Haul and this, it’s basically the beauty Olympics; it’s time to restock your shelf, buy gift sets for friends and family, and, of course, check out the products you’ve been wanting to splurge on for the past few months. Here’s everything you need to know:
The first part of the sale starts today, October 27, for Rouge members, who will receive 20 percent off. The second part opens on October 31 to VIB members, who get 15 percent off, and Insider members, who get 10 percent off.
Yes. The sale can be accessed in-store or online using code TIMETOSAVE.
As a beauty enthusiast who has about half of Sephora’s products on my shelf, here are 12 products that you should absolutely purchase during the sale.
K18’s hair mask is tried and true. It works on all textures of hair to repair damage and leave your hair restored and instantly softer.
TikTok has been loving Color Wow for its magical anti-frizz formulas that work on all hair types. If you’ve been hesitant to lean into the trend, don’t be — or at least get it on sale. You’ll instantly see what the hype is about.
Sale events are the perfect time to buy hair tools that would normally be a bit more expensive. Shark Beauty’s FlexStyle dries and styles hair with no heat damage, and it gets the job done quickly.
Dr. Dennis Gross’s daily peels are beloved by editors and dermatologists because they are easy exfoliators that add radiance to the skin and keep your complexion healthy. Since they’re for daily use, it’s easy to go through them fast, so this is the perfect time to stock up on them. The holiday vault includes 90 peels — 60 extra-strength and 35 universal.
This is the one product that I always tell everyone is worth the splurge. When used directly after washing your face, it plumps and hydrates the skin for an immediate visual difference. Even some of our favorite influencers, like Monet McMichael, can’t live without it.
Dry skin? We don’t know her. This is the golden set for the dewiest skin this winter. I call it the big three: Tatcha’s rice-wash cleanser that gently washes the skin, its soothing dewy serum, and its cult-favorite skin cream that can nourish even the driest skin.
Hourglass palettes give you everything you need in one to have a flushed yet radiant makeup look.
These lip oils are golden. They’re deeply nourishing and leave a glossy look to the lips sans stickiness. Whether you’re wearing the clear shade or the rose gold, each one has a subtle sheerness that is buildable and flattering to every skin tone.
Not only do you get four classic shades of Dior’s velvety-smooth lipstick, but you also get a clutch that’ll look great at holiday parties.
There is a Boy Smells scent for every mood in this trio, from Cameo’s warm vanilla to Hinoki Fantôme’s earthy aroma. There’s never been a better time to restock on candles, which also double as great gifts. It’s cozy season.
Because you can always use a fresh makeup-brush set, and when else are you going to remember to buy one?
