I’m a beauty editor and here are my recs for the Sephora Savings Event
As a beauty editor, I spend lots of time browsing Sephora’s virtual aisles for the best skin care, makeup and hair care products. For purchasing, though, I try to time my big beauty shopping hauls to the biggest sale events of the year. The Holiday 2024 iteration of Sephora’s biannual Sephora Savings Event starts on Nov. 1, 2024, and I’m already building up my online shopping cart.
The Sephora Savings Event will have big discounts on some of my all-time favorite tried-and-true beauty products ranging from a fancy hair dryer to a universally flattering lip color. Ahead, you’ll find all the details on how the discounts work during the Sephora Savings Event and my tested-and-approved recommendations for the best products to shop during the epic sale.

How the Sephora Savings Event works
The Sephora Savings Event for the Holiday 2024 season begins on Nov. 1 and continues through Nov. 11. In order to receive discounts during the Sephora Savings Event, you must be enrolled in Sephora’s Beauty Insider rewards program, which is free to join. (As a Beauty Insider, you rack up points and perks for anything you buy from Sephora.) During the Sephora Savings Event, you can receive discounts on skin care, makeup, hair care, body care, nails and more using the code “SAVINGS” at checkout.
For the duration of the sale event, all Sephora Collection products will be discounted at 30% off using the code “SAVINGS” at checkout. Additionally, starting on Nov. 5, people enrolled in the Beauty Insider program at the lowest tier will receive 10% off all other products when using the code.
If you’ve reached VIB status on your Beauty Insider membership (meaning you spent $350 a year at Sephora), you’ll get 15% off all products between Nov. 5 and Nov. 11 using the code “SAVINGS” at checkout.
For those who have earned Rouge status on their Beauty Insider membership (which requires spending $1,000 annually at Sephora), the savings get even better. Rouge members get 20% off during the entirety of the event — from Nov. 1 through Nov. 11 — which means they also get exclusive first access to the sale between Nov. 1 and Nov. 4.
Best products to shop at Sephora Savings Event
I’ve been using this luxury hair dryer for well over five years and it remains my favorite for a quick, damage-free blowout. The lightweight hair dryer, which comes with five styling attachments, rarely goes on sale, but it’ll be discounted during the Sephora Savings Event. (Sephora will only allow one discounted Dyson product per transaction.)
LANEIGE Lip Sleeping Mask Intense Hydration with Vitamin C
I keep a tub of this TikTok-viral overnight lip mask on my nightstand and apply it right before bed. The luxuriously thick product is packed with nourishing and hydrating ingredients, including vitamin C, murumuru butter and shea butter — and the delicious scents (choose from six) don’t hurt either.
Pureology Strength Cure & Color Fanatic Value Set for Damaged Hair
Pureology’s shampoos and conditioners are pricey, but I’ve found they’re worth it for how amazing my hair looks and feels after using them. This three-piece gift set is perfect for people with damaged or color-treated hair, and it includes a complimentary Color Fanatic Leave-In Conditioner Spray as part of the package.
Once a week, I swap my Pureology shampoo for this detox lather by OUAI, which gives my scalp an extra-deep clean and eradicates any product buildup that may have accumulated during the week. Infused with apple cider vinegar, the cleansing shampoo is great for use on all hair types.
Supergoop! Glowscreen SPF 40 Sunscreen with Hyaluronic Acid + Niacinamide
I love the glowy finish of this SPF 40 face product, which is formulated with hydrating hyaluronic acid and niacinamide.
Urban Decay All Nighter Waterproof Makeup Setting Spray
A makeup setting spray is essential in order to keep your beauty look in top shape for hours on end. I love this bestselling setting spray from Urban Decay because it’s waterproof, long-wearing and leaves a natural finish.
LANEIGE Bouncy & Firm Plump, Firm & Glow Set
Beauty gift sets make excellent holiday presents for beauty buffs. If you have a skin care lover on your holiday gift list, consider this set from LANEIGE. It includes three products to keep your face, eyes and lips deeply hydrated while you sleep.
Caudalie Premier Cru Skin Barrier Rich Moisturizer with Bio-Ceramides
I’ve sampled tons of moisturizers. In the weeks leading up to my wedding, though, I refused to use any product other than this rich Caudalie formula, because I knew it would keep my skin in top shape for the big day. If that isn’t a ringing endorsement for the deeply moisturizing hyaluronic acid cream, I don’t know what is!
Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-On Waterproof Eyeliner Pencil
With 33 colors to choose from in matte, satin, glitter, metallic and shimmer finishes, it’s hard to find an eyeliner with a better hue variety. I also love that this ultra-creamy eyeliner is infused with vitamin E and jojoba oil and it delivers a smudge-proof, long-lasting color.
Fenty Skin Total Cleans’r Remove-It-All Cleanser with Barbados Cherry
This cleanser from Rihanna’s beauty line is my all-time favorite for its tough-yet-gentle ability to remove all traces of makeup without irritating skin. The oil-free formula washes away dirt, oil and impurities without leaving my skin feeling tight.
Anastasia Beverly Hills Clear Brow Gel Flexible Medium-Hold Eyebrow Setter
Anastasia Beverly Hills’ brow products have built a cult following for good reason. This clear brow gel is my absolute favorite product in the category because it keeps my brows in place without leaving any flaky, white residue.
After all the recent TikTok hype around this long-time bestselling Black Honey lip color, I had to see if the semi-glossy sheer color lived up to the praise. It did! The buildable, universally flattering color is now my most-used lip product, thanks to its subtle hue and comfortable wear. I’ve also tried the Pink Honey version, which is a more subtle light pink that’s equally beautiful.
The daytime version of LANEIGE’s lip hydrator, this glowy balm makes a perfect stocking stuffer that’s sure to delight. The product, which is packed with shea butter and murumuru seed butter, comes in seven delicious scents including a festive candy cane version.
IT Cosmetics CC+ Nude Glow Lightweight Foundation + Glow Serum with SPF 40 and Niacinamide
I’ve been using iT Cosmetics’ line of CC+ creams for years, but my personal favorite is the Nude Glow iteration for its lightweight texture and natural-looking glow. The SPF 40 medium-coverage product is formulated with green tea extract and niacinamide, so it’s skin care and makeup in a single tube.
Tatcha The Water Cream Oil-Free Pore-Minimizing Refillable Moisturizer
The Tatcha Water Cream has had a cult following for years thanks to its lightweight texture that’s great for oily and combination skin — and I’m among its list of fans. The oil-free formula works to visibly refine pores and smooth your skin texture.
Anastasia Beverly Hills Cream Stick Blush with Brush Applicator
Blush sticks are a convenient and travel-friendly way to add color to your cheeks, lips and eyelids. Anastasia Beverly Hills makes one of my favorite versions for its buildable, natural-looking color and comfortable wear.
Charlotte Tilbury Airbrush Flawless Longwear Foundation
I love this foundation because it delivers full coverage with a matte finish while maintaining a comfortable, lightweight texture. It comes in 40 shades.
Glossier Lash Slick Lift and Lengthening Mascara
This non-clumpy tubing mascara lengthens lashes and is perfect for a natural-looking, everyday beauty look. The flexible formula comes in black and brown.
Oribe Supershine Light Moisturizing Hair Cream
I apply this moisturizing hair cream to my wet hair before blow-drying it to help smooth and soften my strands. It’s lightweight enough that it doesn’t weigh down my fine hair.
