What We're Buying at the 2023 Sephora Savings Event
The Sephora Savings Event is back! Our deal experts share their top picks across all categories–from eye creams to hair tools.
It’s here! The Sephora Savings Event is back and it’s a great time to save. Beauty Insiders can save 10%, but if you’re a Rouge member (like me), you’ll bag 20% off your entire purchase, and 30% off Sephora Collection items. Since I purchase almost all of my makeup and skincare products at Sephora, I like to stock up on all of my beauty essentials during these savings events. Discounts like this on top beauty brands are a little hard to find, so I’ve listed the Must Haves to save on during this semi-annual sale. And just for fun, I’ve included my favorite high- and low-priced options in all of the categories. All prices listed include the 20% discount.
Eye Cream
Shiseido Benefiance Wrinkle Smoothing Eye Cream ($52) and The INKEY List
Brighten-i Dark Circle Brightening Eye Cream ($10) are both solid options. And if you believe some beauty experts, eye cream is unnecessary, so you might as well try the $10 option!
Moisturizer
La Mer Crème de la Mer Moisturizer ($160) and belif The True Cream Aqua Bomb Hydrating Moisturizer ($30) can both be used for day or night.
Shampoo and Conditioner
Pureology Hydrate Shampoo and Conditioner ($58 for both) and Nécessaire The Shampoo and Conditioner ($45 for both). Both sets are well reviewed. I prefer Pureology for my color-treated hair.
Foundation
Armani Beauty Luminous Silk Perfect Glow Flawless Oil-Free Foundation ($55) is my new favorite foundation. But a great option is a BB or CC cream. Also love this bareMinerals Tinted Moisturizer ($30).
Mascara
ILIA Limitless Lash Lengthening Clean Mascara ($22) and Tower 28 Beauty MakeWaves Lengthening + Volumizing Mascara ($16). Both are winners of the Allure Beauty awards. Both are also available in mini size for less.
Eye Palette
Colors are obviously highly subjective, but a good neutral palette can enhance any makeup bag. The Makeup by Mario Ethereal Eyes Eyeshadow Palette ($54) and the tarte Mini tartelette eyeshadow palette ($20) are both solid options.
Lipstick
Charlotte Tilbury Matte Revolution Lipstick ($20) and Sephora Collection Satin Lipstick ($11) both have a variety of colors.
Hair Styling
This is a great event to save on big ticket items like the Dyson Airwrap ($479), the Shark Multi-Styler ($239), or the t3 AireBrush ($120). Check out our review of the best blow dry brushes to help make your decision.
