It’s finally that time of year again – the annual Sephora Savings Event for the holiday season. If you’re a beauty enthusiast who doesn’t love Sephora’s steep prices, this is your time to shine.
The beloved black-and-white-striped store only holds a few sales each year, with only three of them being store-wide. These take place in April, August and November, and benefit Sephora insider members only. Don’t worry – all it takes to sign up is your phone number.
This fall’s holiday savings event lasts from Oct. 27 to Nov. 6 for Rouge Members, Sephora’s top level of beauty insider. VIB members and standard-level beauty Insiders gain access to the sale from Oct. 31 to Nov. 6.
Rouge members score 20% off storewide, while VIB shoppers enjoy 15% off, and Insiders can take 10% off. Additionally, from Oct. 27 to Nov. 6., all products from Sephora’s brand, Sephora Collection, will be 30% off to all shoppers.
Without further ado, a compilation of products I’ll be repurchasing because they’re that good, complete with a few new pickups that will (hopefully) be worth the splurge.
Patrick Ta Major Headlines Double-Take Creme & Powder Blush Duo
This product is an internet sensation, to say the least. The appeal of this blush is its versatility. With both cream and powder formulas, users can choose between the two depending on their preferred look, or even layer the formulas for a more pigmented glow.
Patrick Ta himself recommends applying the powder blush first for pigment and longevity, and then patting the cream on top to bring a dewy glow back into the face. If you’re familiar with the typical “rules” of makeup, this is usually a crime, but this blush went viral for its rule-breaking formula.
Summer Fridays Lip Butter Balm Set
This value set contains three full-sized lip balms, which are usually priced at $24 each, meaning the set is basically a buy-two-get-one-free steal. Aside from their luxurious formula and delicious flavors, the appeal of this set is that it contains a limited edition flavor that can only be purchased as part of the trio.
The brand-new flavor is iced coffee, a deliciously flavored balm with a sheer brown tint. Customers have said it reminds them of a caramel latte. Frankly, I need it.
Sol De Janeiro Beija Flor Renewing Body Wash
Ever since I tried the mini version of this product, I’ve blown through it and am in desperate need for the full size. I have all three of Sol De Janeiro’s body washes, and I’m obsessed with them all – they’re luxurious, deliciously scented and impressively skin-softening. If you’re looking to up your shower routine, this is the place to start.
REFY Red Collection Lip & Cheek Set
Red lips are simply iconic, and this trifecta of three glamorous reds looks stunning, yet wearable for every day. I own the lip liner and gloss in a different shade, and I can confirm they’re both worth the price. Considering that these are limited edition products, who can say no?
Red blush can look intimidating in the pan, but it gives the most beautiful sun-kissed glow to all skin tones. The lip liners can also be sheered out easily to create a flushed look, rather than an intense red, if that’s more your style.
Saie Mini Dew Blush Trio Set
If you’re a fan of Rare Beauty’s iconic liquid blush, please give these a chance. I prefer Saie’s formula since it’s just as pigmented, yet even easier to blend, and perfectly natural, yet long-lasting. Plus, a little goes a long way, meaning that they won’t run out quickly.
Not to mention, the set features a limited-edition baby pink shade that looks absolutely adorable.
Although my bank account may not agree with my heart, I’ll certainly be taking advantage of this sale and treating myself. Happy shopping!
