written by EMMA GINSBERG

The Everygirl’s product recommendations are curated by our editorial team with some items hand-picked by editors from our sponsors.

If you’re a beauty lover, you know how rare scoring a deal on prestige beauty products is. Ordinarily, they’re the splurge you have to swallow if you want to restock your beauty empties or pick up the new viral product you’ve been dying to try. But from now through 11, Sephora’s semi-annual Savings Event is giving us the green light to pick up everything on our beauty wishlists at a discount.

Whenever Sephora’s Savings Event rolls around, our Slack channels light up with our editors sharing their must-have beauty products and spilling the details on the products their routine isn’t complete without. Our editors test dozens and dozens of beauty products throughout the year, so when a product makes its way into can’t-live-without status, you know it has to be good.

From now through 11, Sephora Rouge members can enjoy 20% off their entire purchase, while VIB members can save 15% starting November 5, and Insiders can take 10% off with the code SAVINGS. Whether you’re treating yourself to a new product or getting a head-start on holiday shopping, these are the products our editors have in their carts.
