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 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.
