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.
An effective eye cream that doesn’t break the bank? It does exist. With a sale price under $10, INKEY Lists’ Caffeine De-Puffing + Dark Circle Eye Cream hydrates and brightens the under-eyes, plus layers beautifully under makeup (which is confirmed by celeb makeup artists like Katie Jane Hughes).
If you splurge on one skincare item during this sale, we highly recommend doing so on the Dr. Dennis Gross Universal Daily Peel Pads. The two-step, individually packaged pads combine AHAs and BHAs to smooth texture and reduce fine lines.

They’re the acne treatment you’ll forget you even have on.
We’d never shy away from adding a new blush to our makeup bags, and if you don’t have the Patrick Ta Major Headlines Double-Take Crème & Powder Blush Duo yet, what are you waiting for? Apply it Patrick’s way by applying the powder first, then layering cream on top for a long-lasting, dewy flush.
This recently released liquid foundation has a buildable, medium coverage and radiant finish for a perfected, healthy-looking complexion. Our beauty editor claims it’s the best foundation she’s tried all year.
