What’s Actually Worth Your Money at Sephora’s Big Sale

It’s that time again: Sephora’s biannual Savings Event is almost upon us, and it’s good. This is the moment to stock up on your everyday favorites (cleansers, serums, hair oils, and foundations), as well as save on splurge-worthy items such as pricey hair tools and luxury skin care. These hair, makeup, skin care, and fragrance favorites only go on sale twice a year. 

Here’s how to save: Rouge members (meaning you spent $1,000 in the calendar year) get 20% off from April 5 until April 15; VIBs ($300 per calendar year) get 15% off April 9 to 15; and Insiders (any amount spent) get 10% off from April 9 to 15. Plus, everyone gets 30% off Sephora Collection makeup, skin care, and tools every day of the sale. Use code YAYSAVE online for all of these savings.

Keep in mind that there are some small restrictions. You can buy only one Dyson item, one Shark Beauty item, and three Nutrafol items per SKU per transaction. Plus, The Ordinary, Proven Skincare, and MAC Cosmetics Viva Glam products are all excluded from the sale. 

Now, take a look at some of our favorite products worth your money, and get ready to treat yourself (or grab some gifts!) while saving big.

1. Kérastase Première Anti-Breakage Repairing Mask for Damaged Hair

This new hair mask is a favorite of Sydney Sweeney, the new face of the brand. It hydrates and smoothes all types of damaged hair, plus removes calcium buildup for stronger strands.

2. Sol de Janeiro Brazilian Bum Bum Jet Set

See what all the fuss is about with social media’s favorite body lotion. (Don’t worry — it doesn’t attract spiders.) This affordable kit includes the original Cheirosa '62 scent in travel sizes of body cream, shower gel, and fragrance mist.

3. Dyson Limited Edition Airwrap Multi Styler in Pink and Rose Gold

If you’ve always wanted to try the cult-favorite Dyson Airwrap, now’s your chance to save big bucks on the latest model. It comes with all six versatile attachments in the new rose colorway.

4. ILIA Skin Rewind Blurring Foundation and Concealer Complexion Stick

Foundation sticks used to be dry and cakey. Leave it to Ilia to make a hydrating one that glides across the skin, blending in seamlessly with a skinlike finish. 

5. Haus Labs by Lady Gaga Color Fuse Talc-Free Blush 

Haus Labs relaunched its most popular blush to be smaller and a bit cheaper, but with the same silky, buildable pigment in shades that look good on everyone.

6. Touchland Power Mist Hydrating Hand Sanitizer

Stock up on the hand sanitizer you’ve seen all over Instagram since 2020. The new Mango Passion scent smells incredible. 

7. Patrick Ta Major Headlines Double-Take Crème & Powder Blush Duo

Celebrity makeup artist Patrick Ta taught us to apply cream blush after powder — the opposite of what we were doing before he launched this popular duo (now in 12 colorways). The result is radiant and majorly long-wearing.

8. Milk Makeup Cooling Water Jelly Tint Lip + Cheek Blush Stain

This viral lip and cheek stain makes it easy to create a trendy monochromatic look, and the cooling jelly texture is satisfying to apply.

9. Summer Fridays Jet Lag Overnight Eye Serum

Summer Fridays took its bestselling Jet Lag Hydrating Mask and made a complementary eye serum with a gentle retinoid blend to minimize fine lines.

10. Huda Beauty Faux Filler Shiny Non-Sticky Lip Gloss

If you’re looking for tons of glossy pigment without that sticky, tacky feeling, this is about to be your new go-to gloss. It comes in seven shades (including clear) and leaves lips hydrated.

11. K18 AirWash Dry Shampoo

K18 is known for its Leave-In Molecular Repair Hair Mask that helps to reverse damage. Now, the brand has launched its first dry shampoo — one that’s actually healthy for your hair and won’t cause starchy buildup (or leave a white cast). The non-aerosol mist eliminates odor and balances sebum on the scalp for up to three days.

12. Vegamour GRO Hair Serum for Thinning Hair

Thinning hair happens to the best of us, but there are things you can do and ways to prevent it. Vegamour has the studies to prove its hair serum really works, so now just might be the time to start your journey. 

13. Fenty Skin Hydra Vizor Refillable Invisible Face Moisturizer SPF 30

You know you have to wear sunscreen every day, but those with oily and acne-prone skin can have a hard time finding one that won’t break them out. Fenty’s hydrating sunscreen has the addition of niacinamide to fight shine and reduce the look of pores.

14. Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare DRx SpectraLite FaceWare Pro

This FDA-cleared LED device targets both fine lines and breakouts with 100 red LED lights to support the production of collagen and reduce wrinkles, and 62 blue LED lights to target acne-causing bacteria. Use it for 10 weeks to see major results.

15. Shani Darden Skin Care Triple Acid Signature Peel

If you can’t get an appointment at celebrity facialist Shani Darden’s Los Angeles studio, this at-home peel is the next best thing. The two-step system resurfaces and brightens skin the more you use it. Warning: It can be a little spicy. 

16. Hourglass Vanish Seamless Finish Concealer Brush

Sephora’s sale is a good time to splurge on a makeup brush that’s a little more luxe than you usually use. This versatile concealer brush fits perfectly under your eyes to create a seamless finish, and works well with both liquid and cream formulas. 

17. Yves Saint Laurent Libre Eau De Parfum

Grab a new spring scent for you or a loved one — you (and they) deserve it. You can’t go wrong with this warm floral fragrance with notes of lavender, orange blossom, and musk accord.
