Everything I'm buying from Sephora's Savings Event, a can't-miss sale on beauty
It's not every day you can cop a deal on the latest Dyson Airwrap and dozens of other beauty favorites. Now through April 14, you can! The epic Sephora Savings Event has beauty deals galore for its loyal shoppers, including sales on coveted hair tools, makeup, skin care goodies and more.
Starting today, big spenders, aka Rouge tier members, get first pick and a steeper discount of 20% off their purchase. VIB and standard Beauty Insider members can unlock 15% off and 10% off, respectively, on April 8. It's as simple as entering the promo code SAVEMORE at checkout. Pro tip: Fans of the Sephora Collection can save 30% now regardless of their member status.
As a shopping editor, I've spent years testing beauty products and exclusively covering the best deals. So, I rounded up picks that are not only worth writing home about but also come tagged with a mean discount during this member-exclusive sale.
Ilia Super Serum Skin Tint SPF 40
Blending skin care ingredients with a pigmented formula, the Ilia Super Serum Skin Tint provides a natural finish while still giving ample coverage. The best part is that my skin never gets irritated by its combo of moisturizing squalane, brightening niacinamide and hydrating hyaluronic acid.
Tower 28 Beauty GetSet Blur and Set Pressed Setting Powder
Sensitive skin types, rejoice! Catering toward those with eczema and the like, Tower 28 Beauty makes some of my favorite sensitive-skin-friendly products, including this pressed powder for dabbing away shine and setting makeup sans talc.
Rare Beauty Soft Pinch Blush
One dab of Rare Beauty's liquid blush goes the distance. It delivers a pigmented flush that has cemented itself as a staple for the brand. I gravitate toward the pinky shade, Happy, for cherubic cheeks and the red hue, Grateful, for a fresh flush.
Eadem Le Chouchou Peptide Lip Balm
Soften chapped lips while swiping on a layer of fresh pigment with Eadem's peptide lip balm. It spans stunning '90s-inspired shades of berry and brown hues.
Caliray Sundrip Luminous Liquid Bronzer
Bronzing drops give pale skin a fresh glow. Formulated with peptides and hyaluronic acid, Caliray's luminous bronzer has a serum-like texture that Underscored's beauty editor, Sophie Shaw, said blends easily.
Kiehl's Ultra Body Mega-Moisture Squalane Cream
Loaded with skin-barrier-repairing ceramides and moisturizing squalane, the latest body cream from Kiehl's aims to hydrate all year long. It's an extension of my personal favorite, the Ultra Facial Cream.
Fresh Soy Hydrating Gentle Face Cleanser
Touting a mild soy-based formula, this Fresh cleanser earns many nods from beauty shoppers across normal, dry, combination and oily skin types. It adopts a refreshing gel-like formula loaded with calming cucumber extract and soothing aloe vera.
First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Cream
Impressing our experts in Underscored's evaluations for face moisturizers, the First Aid Beauty cream feels soothing on sensitive skin types. It taps a calming combo of shea butter, colloidal oatmeal and allantoin.
Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask
That's right: Sephora members can snag a deal on the ever-popular Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask. Swipe it on before bedtime as murumuru seed and shea butter work their magic to leave you with moisturized lips in the a.m.Read our review
Hanni Splash Salve In-Shower Body Moisture Treatment
My psoriasis-plagued sister put me onto this shower lotion, and I've been obsessed with its creamy texture and yummy coconut smell ever since. Think of it as a conditioner for your body, leaving soft, supple skin in its wake.
Gucci Flora Gardenia Eau de Parfum
Adopting an alluring combination of pear, white gardenia and brown sugar, the Gucci Flora Gardenia fragrance has made me a floral perfume believer. It's become my everyday perfume because it's not too overpowering.
Yves Saint Laurent Black Opium Eau de Parfum
I've sprayed my YSL Black Opium down to its last drop, so I'll most definitely be replenishing my supply during the Sephora Savings Event. Coffee and vanilla notes lend the perfume a warm scent profile, perfectly suited for date nights.
Jo Malone London Peony and Blush Suede Cologne
Known for its timeless, elegant fragrances, Jo Malone makes some of our favorite perfumes for women. Those who prefer more feminine fragrances can opt for this scent oft compared to a fresh bouquet of flowers.
Sol de Janeiro Brazilian Crush Cheirosa '62 Bum Bum Fragrance Mist
If you love Sol de Janeiro's Brazilian Bum Bum Cream, try this bottled-up version of the sought-after beauty find. Spray the signature vanilla-infused scent onto hair, skin and clothing.
Maison Margiela Replica Jazz Club Eau de Toilette
Nothing screams romantic dinners quite like the Jazz Club scent from Maison Margiela. Its warm, woody notes made quite an impression on one of our editors.
Color Wow Dream Coat Supernatural Spray Anti-Frizz Treatment
Spritz on the Color Wow Dream Coat and run heat over it to activate its frizz-fighting formula. I prime my hair with the spray before I straighten it for a sleeker finish.
K18 Mini Leave-In Molecular Repair Hair Mask
Buzzy yet effective, the K18 hair mask helps repair damaged hair, per Underscored staffers. The only downside to this leave-in treatment is its lofty price. Thankfully, the Sephora Savings Event knocks it down by 20%.
Gisou Wildflower Honey Infused Hair Perfume
Considered a holy-grail hair oil, the frizz-fighting Gisou Honey Gloss frequently goes in and out of stock because of how viral it's been on TikTok. It's now bundled with a watermelon-scented lip oil and sweet-smelling hair perfume for up to 20% off.
Ouai Detox Shampoo
Press "reset" on your hair by lathering up with the Ouai Detox Shampoo. Based on personal experience, the apple cider vinegar-based formula helps cleanse dirt, oil and buildup from the scalp. I reach for it every few washes as a clarifying shampoo, while other staffers love it for dandruff.
Bumble and Bumble Invisible Oil Primer
Doubling as a leave-in conditioner and heat protectant, the Bumble and Bumble Invisible Oil Primer helps detangle and hydrate hair. The lightly scented multitasker smells amazing and feels creamy.
Dyson Limited Edition Airwrap i.d. Multi-styler in Jasper Plum
Curl, smooth, blow out — frankly, the options are endless with the upgraded Dyson Airwrap i.d. We're always eager to spot the titular hair tool (especially a limited-edition model) at a rare discount, so act now before it starts selling out.
Dr. Dennis Gross DRx SpectraLite FaceWare Pro
Certainly a plunge at its retail price, this Dr. Dennis Gross LED device just got more accessible for those eyeing the penultimate red light therapy mask. I wear mine every night and swear by its red and blue light settings for taming my eczema flare-ups and minimizing breakouts.
Canopy Handheld Filtered Shower Head
A notable con was its price, but that qualm is nixed during the Sephora Savings Event. Snag this top-tested shower head from Canopy for a luxe-filtered shower experience bolstered by a built-in scalp massager.
T3 Aire 360 Ceramic Air Styler Blowout Kit
Rivaling other multi-stylers on the market, the T3 Aire 360 impressed me with its handy attachments that help speed up blowouts. I appreciate its circular concentrator because it dries large areas of hair faster.
Rare Beauty Soft Pinch Blush Brush
Makeup brushes and sponges may normally be a dime a dozen, but this dense brush completely revolutionized the way I apply my blush. It fits the contours of my cheeks in an oddly perfect way for a near-flawless application. It costs nothing to save! Sephora's Beauty Insider program is free to join, and all Beauty Insider members will receive free shipping and free returns on all orders, with no minimum spend required. It's well worth it because you get exclusive access to sales like these, and every purchase earns you points to unlock free products, like Sephora employee favorites, and level you up to the next tier. I also love that you get an eligible birthday gift of your choice. It's introduced me to brands I've been meaning to try, like Milk Makeup, Ouai and more.
Inspired by the changing seasons, Sephora rewarded its most loyal shoppers with tiered discounts on pages upon pages of beauty products. The semi-annual sale marks the perfect opportunity to revamp your spring makeup and skin care routines, ditching the heavy creams and moody hues.
Savings span the entire site — yep, that includes tried-and-true brands like Tatcha, Dyson and beyond, which aren't typically discounted during regular sales. Meanwhile, fans of the Sephora Collection can take 30% off the collection. Just remember that the sale only comes twice a year, and it's your first chance to score. Your next opportunity won't come around until November.
Major savings events like these are enough to confound even the most seasoned shoppers. So, armed with years of experience testing and reviewing beauty products, paired with expertise covering sales on said picks, I curated a list of only the best makeup, skin care, hair care and beauty tool deals for your wallet, mostly including those that other Underscored editors and I buy ourselves.

27 Cheap Beauty Products To Replace The Expensive Stuff
A ~weightless~ liquid cream blush for people who are going for the soft, dewy lewk but aren't ready to drop $25 on the Rare Beauty blush. This one stands out for its rich pigmentation and smooth blendability, made even easier with the built-in sponge applicator. Definitely a compliment earner! Hair Chemist's Sleek Spray if you love the Color Wow Dream Coat spray but cringe every time you see its price. This anti-humidity spray works pretty much the same — apply it on damp hair, blow-dry to activate, and then enjoy smooth, glossy hair that'll have you feeling like a Kardashian. E.l.f. Suntouchable Invisible Sunscreen that doubles as a water-resistant sunscreen (with SPF 35) and a blurring primer that grips your makeup and keeps it looking smooth all day. It goes on clear — no white cast, no greasy finish — just a silky, lightweight layer of protection. If you're a fan of Supergoop's sunscreen but *not* the price, then this is the next best thing. A tube of the bestselling, $5 (!) Essence's Lash Princess mascara to get you the same results as those premium mascaras that go for $30+. It helps deliver dramatic length and volume without the need for false lashes. And the wand is really great for getting an even application that doesn't clump. Dossier's "Ambery Vanilla" perfume if you're in love with YSL's Black Opium but not so into the $100 price tag. The scent lasts, the bottle's cute, and honestly? No one will know it's not designer unless you tell them (and even then, they might not believe you). A lightweight Sol de Janeiro hair and body fragrance mist in scent Cheirosa '68 — infused with a lovely blend of hibiscus, jasmine, and sun musk, it's reminiscent of the iconic Baccarat Rouge 540 (but won't leave your wallet crying). A Briotech spray made with hypochlorous acid, a powerful ingredient known for calming irritated skin, including helping with conditions like rosacea or post-acne redness. The Tower 28 SOS Daily Rescue Spray knows what's up, but with this, you get twice the amount for a fraction of the price — it's simple math at this point. CeraVe's resurfacing retinol serum that works like a charm to tackle pesky dark spots, fine lines, and uneven texture. It gently helps renew your skin while keeping things smooth and hydrated — thanks to ceramides and soothing ingredients that help keep irritation at bay. And some reviewers even prefer it over pricier versions (like the $92 Murad Retinol Serum)! Nyx Fat Oil Lip Drip infused with vegan squalane, raspberry, and cloudberry oils to hydrate your lips while providing some serious shimmer. It's comparable to the Dior lip oil and UNDER $10, so everyone say "thank you" to Nyx. E.l.f.'s Hydrating Core Lip Shine in the shade "Ecstatic" that reviewers say is a solid replica of Clinique's Black Honey (ya know, the tinted lip balm famous for looking good on everyyyone), but for a fraction of the price! This one doesn't change colors as magically, but it is a beautiful, subtle tint with a non-sticky formula you'll be happy to have in your bag when you see a cute person at the grocery store. And an E.l.f. multistick — in one simple step, you can add a splash of color to your eyes, lips, and cheeks! It applies as a blendable cream, then dries like a powder to create a more matte look. If you hate juggling several products, this multistick is endlessly versatile, and it's waaaay cheaper than the $39 one from Nars. Marc Anthony "Grow Long" Leave-In Conditioner Spray for detangling while strengthening and nourishing your locks so they can grow to be as long as Rapunzel's. Why bother with several products when you can get everything you need in one spray (complete with biotin, vitamin E, caffeine, and ginseng) instead? A bottle of Elizavecca Hair Treatment that only needs 5–20 minutes to revitalize your hair — and trust me, your strands will thank you. This treatment will leave your mane softer and glossier (it's the ceramide 3 and protein extracts!), and reviewers love how effective it is in repairing their damaged hair. You simply won't find another hair mask that works this well and is this affordable (*side-eyes Olaplex*). E.l.f.'s Halo Glow Liquid Filter so you can get that gorgeous glow without dropping $$ on Charlotte Tilbury's Flawless Filter. You can mix it with foundation or moisturizer for a natural glow — or apply it directly as a highlighter. And you'll get some extra hydration thanks to hyaluronic acid and squalane in the formula. Or L'Oreal's True Match Lumi Glotion that'll having you beaming like a beautiful sunset without spending three times as much on Drunk Elephant's D-Bronzi Drops. This adds a lightweight tint that creates a natural dewy look and you can also layer it with foundation or a moisturizer! A bottle of Nyx setting spray if you're tired of your makeup sliding off halfway through the day. One quick spritz, and this magic mist locks in your look for up to 16 hours with zero shine — just like the beloved Urban Decay setting spray, except this one will leave you with extra funds for a sweet treat. An extreme-hold Nyx eyebrow gel that'll ensure your brows stay sleek and sculpted from dawn 'til dusk! The wand applicator effortlessly tames your brows and provides a strong hold without any sticky residue. It's ideal for all brow types and perfect for creating anything from bold, defined arches to a natural, groomed look. A bottle of sulfate-free biotin shampoo with over 36,000 5-star ratings? 🤩 Yes, please. And for under $15 — a total steal. The star ingredient, biotin, can help make your hair look fuller, while rosemary and coconut oils swoop in to nourish and moisturize your scalp. A trio of lip sleeping masks that essentially do the same thing as the Laneige one (providing deep hydration and nourishment) but for waaay less money *and* you get THREE of them! It's primarily an overnight treatment, but it can also be used as a lip balm throughout the day — so you're getting some serious bang for the little buck you spent. An under-eye brightener for when you stayed up way too late watching true crime documentaries and need to trick everyone at brunch into thinking you're well-rested and thriving. It adapts effortlessly to your skin tone to conceal dark circles while delivering a natural, bright finish — just like the Becca Under-Eye Corrector, but this one leaves you some spending money for an extra mimosa. 😉 Or Maybelline's Instant Age Rewind Concealer, which is used by even professional makeup artists because of how well it minimizes fine lines, dark spots, and redness. The lightweight formula blends beautifully (made even easier by the built-in sponge applicator), giving you fuller coverage without feeling heavy or cakey! E.l.f. Power Grip Primer that'll have your makeup sticking to your face like its life depends on it. It's infused with hyaluronic acid to keep your skin feeling hydrated and looking plump. Just apply it, wait a quick 30 seconds, and watch as your foundation goes on smoother and lasts way longer than it ever has before. A six-piece set of high-performance matte lipsticks you can trust to stay put through eating, drinking, and everything in between, delivering gorgeous color that lasts. As one reviewer put it: "This functions just like the high-priced lip colors you can find at high-end stores and makes it affordable for all!" Wet n Wild's Megaglo Blushlighter with a soft blush and a radiant highlighter that can be worn alone or layered together for that "just got back from vacation" look. The formula is silky, blendable, and super pigmented (a little goes a long way), and it works beautifully across a range of skin tones. Plus, it's literally less than a latte!! A box of "Zombie" face masks to help hydrate and tighten your skin while reducing the appearance of pores and fine lines. Just apply, let sit for 15 minutes, and rinse to see all the benefits! It's like Hanacure but at a fraction of the price, so you'll realistically be able to add and keep this in your routine. A rainbow eyeshadow palette offering 40 different matte, shimmer, and metallic shades so you can play around and unleash your inner makeup artist *without* having to buy a bunch of pricey palettes. Whether you're feeling subtle or ready to experiment with bold, creative looks, this affordable palette is all you need — all for under $10. 😌 E.l.f.'s Holy Hydration! Makeup Melting Cleansing Balm to literally melt away every trace of makeup (yes, even waterproof mascara!) without stripping your skin. It's packed with skin-loving ingredients like hyaluronic acid and ceramides to help leave your face feeling soft, hydrated, and so smooth — and reviewers with sensitive skin give it their seal of approval!

Selena Gomez is one of Forbes' richest self-made women, Rihanna falls on list
Forbes has released its annual list of the country's richest self-made women, with new and returning stars who made the cut. The magazine's list, ranking the 100 wealthiest women in America, saw newcomer Selena Gomez make the list, largely due to her stake in cosmetics company Rare Beauty, which she launched in 2020 and is valued at $1.3 billion. Gomez's net worth is estimated at $700 million, and she is one of 16 celebrities to earn a place on the list. (In September, Bloomberg declared Gomez a billionaire, estimating her fortune at $1.3 billion.) Other stars on the list include Taylor Swift, Kim Kardashian, her sister Kylie Jenner, Oprah Winfrey, Beyoncé, Reese Witherspoon and Rihanna. Oprah Winfrey Kim Kardashian Taylor Swift Rihanna Madonna Beyoncé Knowles-Carter Selena Gomez Kylie Jenner Judge Judy Sheindlin Celine Dion Barbra Streisand Ellen Degeneres Dolly Parton Reese Witherspoon Katy Perry Serena Williams Rihanna took a 30% slide on the list this year, Forbes reports, due to flat sales at Fenty Beauty and her lingerie brand, Savage X Fenty. Changes in the beauty market also spelled a bit of trouble for Jenner, who saw a 4% decline in net worth. Other stars maintained their earnings, including Kardashian, Witherspoon, Dolly Parton, Ellen DeGeneres and Madonna. Beyoncé, Celine Dion, Katy Perry, Serena Williams and Barbra Streisand experienced modest increases. Meanwhile, Taylor Swift is the only star on the list to have significantly increased her net worth. Due to the mega-success of her Eras Tour and related projects, her net worth is estimated at $1.6 billion, a 23% increase. (Her recent acquisition of her music catalog was not factored in, and could make that valuation even larger.)
