Whether you apply a full face of makeup or just use a little bit of lip color before leaving the house, now is a good time to stock up on some of our favorite products. Sephora's big Lip Day Celebration sale ends tonight and features up to 50% off some of our favorite plumpers, glosses, and balms, including brands like Clinique, Tarte, and Too Faced. I've rounded up the best deals below, featuring some of our beauty editor favorites that I'm eyeing for no shortage of popular picks to score from the Sephora event. From the 30% off the viral Clinique Black Honey lipstick to 40% off the Too Faced Lip Injection Lip Plumper (the top pick in our lip plumper guide), shoppers can find the perfect product for their pout on scrolling to see some of our top picks that are on sale right now. Lip colors, plumping glosses, sleeping masks, and more are down to prices matching those of Prime Day earlier this month. It all ends tonight, so be sure to act fast if you need a restock. Clinique's best-selling Black Honey Almost Lipstick has been a staple for years, and for good reason. The shade goes perfectly with any skin tone, and the sheer, balm-like formula melts into your skin to nourish the lips and elevate any makeup look with a subtle pop of color. Sephora Cream Lipstain Liquid Lipstick is long-lasting and more pigmented than your average lip stain. And it comes in 90 different colors. Get juicy, hydrating-looking lips with this ultra-shiny lip balm from our favorite minimal makeup brand, Glossier. We love the Laneige Lip Glowy Balm for how moist it feels and its glossy finish. This limited-edition mini set comes with four different flavors for you to find your favorite. The Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask is like a lip balm version of the brand's cult-favorite Water Sleeping Mask. It deeply nourishes the lips and smells delicious. For one product to do it all, Tatcha's The Kissu Tinted Lip Sunscreen has you covered. This one tube hydrates and protects your lips from the sun while giving you a hint of color. The Tarte Maracuja Lip Plump offers a creamy, smooth-gliding formula similar to a balm or lipstick. It also burns less than other plumpers, with more of a cool, minty-fresh feeling. The Tarte Maracuja Lip Plump offers a creamy, smooth-gliding formula for a glossy, hydrated finish. It also burns less than other plumpers, with more of a cool, minty-fresh feeling. Though it's one of the priciest lip plumpers we recommend, this cult favorite gets the job done. If you're looking for major volume, this is the product for the job. If you prefer a smooth balm rather than a sticky gloss, this trending lip plumper from Makeup by Mario hydrates while providing a visible oomph to your pout. It comes in a variety of shades for you to choose your favorite. We fell in love with Milk Makeup's slick yet non-sticky formula. It offers subtle color that plumps without being painful. Sales outside of Black Friday and Amazon Prime Day can be pretty hit or miss, but as a deals editor with years of experience covering sales, I am happy to assure you that these lip product deals are actually pretty solid. It's not often that so much variety is so deeply discounted, making today's promotion a rare chance to have your pick of the Sephora Lip Day Celebration sale does not require any membership to shop. Being a Sephora Insider, VIB, or Rouge member definitely wouldn't hurt, especially because the free-to-join tier comes with free standard shipping, but it's not sales from the retailer do require enrollment to score discounts, so today's event is an especially sweet opportunity for everyone to is the last day to shop the Sephora Lip Day Celebration sale. If you're hoping to snag one of the deals above, I'd recommend acting fast before it ends (or stock runs out).

'I try endless skincare as a beauty writer, but this line has a permanent spot in my routine'
Shopping writer Lauren trials countless products - but this one range has earned itself a repeat order As a beauty writer, I'm constantly rotating through new skincare launches. Between testing serums, masks and moisturisers to help narrow down the best buys for your buck, I rarely stick with any one range for long. But now and then, a collection lands on my desk that actually earns a permanent spot in my routine. Case in point: Laneige's Bouncy & Firm range, which I've just restocked for the third time. Laneige, perhaps best known for its cult-favourite Lip Sleeping Masks, launched the Bouncy & Firm line earlier this year with four products designed to plump, revitalise and hydrate tired skin: a serum, sleeping mask, eye sleeping mask and a lip sleeping mask. They arrived in March, and five months on, I'm still reaching for every one of them - especially the Bouncy & Firm Eye Sleeping Mask (£28). My under-eye area is notoriously sensitive, and finding an eye product that doesn't sting, itch, or leave me looking worse for wear is rare. In fact, I can't recall ever repurchasing one - until now. The eye mask is a total game changer, with a cooling gel-like texture that glides on smoothly and instantly de-puffs and soothes. It feels indulgent to apply, like a chilled spa moment before bed, and it's never caused any irritation, even after months of nightly use. For those who also suffer from irritation like me, there are a few different eye creams that cater to sensitive skin. Clinique's Moisture Surge™ Eye 96-Hour Hydro-Filler Concentrate (£35) is dermatologist and allergy tested, as well as being 100% fragrance free. Otherwise, CeraVe's Eye Repair Cream (£10.15) is suitable for all skin types, including sensitive and eczema-prone skin. This review reads: "Feels great and doesn't irritate my sensitive skin. I've been told several times my under eyes look much better, but I think it's more of a plumping effect rather than correcting the discolouration itself." The rest of the Laneige range deserves a shout, too. The Sleeping Mask (£32) feels rich yet breathable on my skin, locking moisture without feeling heavy or greasy. The Lip Mask (£18.40) - a sister to Laneige's viral original - is just as nourishing, cushioning my lips overnight and leaving them soft by morning. As for the Bouncy & Firm Serum (£39), I'm on the fence. It sinks in quickly and integrates well with other products, but I haven't noticed a significant improvement in my skin since incorporating it into my routine. That said, it may be one of those slow-burn heroes that shines over time, so I'm not ruling it out just yet, especially as I only introduced it into my regime a month ago. Overall, the Bouncy & Firm range delivers on its promise, and the fact that I've topped up speaks for itself. In a sea of constantly changing beauty launches, that's no small feat.
