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 Fall 2026 iteration of Sephora’s biannual Sephora Savings Event is finally here, and you better believe I'm filling up my online shopping cart. 

The Sephora Savings Event features 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 for during the epic sale.

The Sephora Savings Event for the Fall 2026 season continues through Nov. 9. 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.

For the duration of the sale event, all Sephora Collection products will be discounted at 30% off using the code “ALLONSALE” at checkout. Those who have earned Rouge status on their Beauty Insider membership (which requires spending $1,000 annually at Sephora) get 20% off everything else during the entirety of the event, plus they can share a one-time 20% off discount code with up to five friends. VIB members (the second tier of the Beauty Insider program) get 15% off everything from Nov. 3 through Nov. 9, and Beauty Insiders (lowest tier) get 10% off from Nov. 3 through Nov. 9. (Item limits apply for certain products.) Just remember to use the code "ALLONSALE" during checkout.

Top skin care picks to shop during the Sephora Savings Event

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, including limited-edition gingerbread, don't hurt either.

Fenty Skin Total Cleans'r Remove-It-All Cleanser

This cleanser from Rihanna’s beauty line is one of my favorites 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.

LANEIGE Bouncy & Firm Hydrogel Eye Patches for Dark Circles, Depuffing, & Wrinkles

I love pampering myself with an under-eye mask while I get ready for events. This one, from one of my favorite Korean skin care brands, is formulated with PDRN from green tea and banana probiotics to help firm your skin while caffeine and niacinamide brighten and reduce puffiness. 

THOME The Glow SIGNATURE Professional-Grade Ultrasound Skin Care Device

This professional-grade skin care device has earned high ratings from Sephora shoppers. It's designed for daily use to improve skin firmness and elasticity while boosting radiance. 

Rhode Glazing Milk Ceramide Facial Essence

Since adding this milky facial essence to my daily skin care routine, my skin feels softer and better hydrated. It helps promote a glowy appearance while strengthening the skin's barrier. 

AESTURA ATOBARRIER365 Cream Moisturizer with Ceramides & Niacinamide for Skin Moisture Barrier Repair

This deeply hydrating cream is formulated with ceramides and has a soothing, rich texture. It's noncomedogenic and provides up to 120 hours of moisturization. 

Torriden DIVE IN 5D Hyaluronic Acid Ultra-Hydrating Serum for Plump & Glow Skin

Quench your skin with this hyaluronic acid serum, which delivers long-lasting hydration with a plumping effect when worn under your favorite moisturizer. I love the thick texture that feels extra moisturizing. 

Innisfree Super Volcanic AHA Pore Clearing Clay Mask

This clay mask penetrates deep into pores to clear excess sebum while minimizing the look of pores. It combines exfoliating AHAs with oil-absorbing volcanic ash. It's a relaxing part of my weekly beauty routine. 

The Ordinary Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5 Hydrating Serum with Ceramides

The Ordinary is one of the best affordable skin care brands, combining simple packaging and straightforward product names. This hydrating serum is formulated with five forms of hyaluronic acid to help your skin retain maximum moisture.

Touchland Power Mist Hydrating Hand Sanitizer

Touchland's hand sanitizer is my preferred sanitizer, thanks to its hydrating formula that smells so much better than your typical hand sanitizer. The incredible scents include wild watermelon, blue sandalwood and vanilla blossom. 

BIODANCE Bio-Collagen Real Deep Mask

These nifty sheet masks went viral on TikTok for a good reason. The hydrating mask turns transparent after three hours of wear or overnight, delivering active ingredients deep into the skin. It leaves your complexion looking and feeling healthier. 

Laneige Water Bank Blue Hyaluronic Cream Moisturizer

The star ingredient of this cream is hyaluronic acid, which provides long-lasting hydration for up to 100 hours. The lightweight moisturizer also contains squalane and a pepta complex that has a firming and soothing effect on the skin.

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. 

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 used 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.

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 fans. The oil-free formula works to visibly refine pores and smooth your skin texture. 

Top makeup picks to shop during the Sephora Savings Event

Urban Decay Tube Job Lash Augmenting Tubing Mascara

I'm partial to tubing mascaras, and Urban Decay's recent launch is one of my newest favorites. Cheekily monikered, the Tube Job mascara doesn't clump or smudge, and it washes off easily with just warm water.

I love my neutral eyeshadow palette from this brand, and this mini version would be perfect for travel. It includes six pans with talc-free hyaluronic acid- and squalane-infused powders. 

Charlotte Tilbury Pillow Talk Long-Lasting Blush Balm Sheer Lip Tint

I'm a long-time fan of Charlotte Tilbury's iconic Pillow Talk lipstick and liner, and this product puts a sheer spin on the cult-favorite hue. A lipstick, balm and tint in one, it's formulated with botanical butters and peptides to keep your pout hydrated.

Filled with dreamy neutrals and soft pinks, this versatile eyeshadow palette (a staple on my vanity) lets you create so many different looks. It includes shimmery, matte and metallic finishes.

Give your makeup added staying power with this setting powder from one of my favorite beauty brands. The pressed powder provides medium coverage yet feels lightweight and comfortable.

Gisou Honey Infused Hydrating Lip Oil

I've tested a range of lip oils, and Gisou's honey-infused version is among the best. The hydrating product is formulated with hyaluronic acid and comes in seven subtle tints. 

ILIA Limitless Lash Lengthening Clean Mascara

Its arginine- and biotin-enriched formula makes Ilia's mascara a great find.  Recently, the brand launched a brown shade, which I love since it looks more natural on me.

A makeup setting spray is essential for keeping your beauty look in top shape for hours. I love this bestselling setting spray from Urban Decay because it’s waterproof, long-wearing and leaves a natural finish.

Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-On Waterproof Eyeliner Pencil

With 33 colors in matte, satin, glitter, metallic and shimmer finishes, it’s hard to find an eyeliner with a better variety. I also love that this ultra-creamy eyeliner is infused with vitamin E and jojoba oil and delivers a smudge-proof, long-lasting color. 

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 gel keeps my brows in place without leaving any flaky, white residue.

CLINIQUE Almost Lipstick

After all the 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 one of my most-used lip products 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. 

LANEIGE Lip Glowy Balm

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 many delicious scents. 

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.

Blush sticks are a convenient and travel-friendly way to add color to your cheeks, lips and eyelids. This version imparts a buildable, natural-looking color and offers comfortable wear.

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. 

Hair tools and hair care to shop during the Sephora Savings Event

Dyson Airsmooth Styling Dryer Brush

Dyson products are some of the best steals from Sephora's big sale, and this new launch is one of my favorites. This hot air brush battles frizz better than any other I've tried (and I've tried many). Like all Dyson hair products, it simultaneously protects your tresses from heat damage. 

Dyson Corrale Coolshine Hair Straightener

Another recent launch, this flat iron includes heat-extracting attachments that cool hair as it's being styled to reduce damage. It has four heat settings up to 410 degrees.

I apply a few spritzes of this conditioning mist (formulated with honey, hydrolyzed milk protein and ceramides) on my damp post-shower hair to help hydrate, protect and repair my strands.

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 accumulated during the week. Infused with apple cider vinegar, the cleansing shampoo is great for use on all hair types.
