A Sephora sale is something to set a calendar alert for, and this season the deals are starting early with the beauty retailer’s Holiday Savings Event. Beauty Insiders have a schedule of discounts they can take advantage of, including tiered discounts off total purchases and 30% off Sephora’s in-house collection of makeup and skincare — and Rogue members can score the savings starting today.
One catch: You’ll need a Beauty Insider membership to take advantage of these discounts — and the sale is staggered according to your tier in the rewards program. If you’re not a member, it’s easy and free to sign up: Rouge members will be able to take 20% off their purchase from November 5 through 15, VIBs get 15% off from November 9 through 15, and Insiders get 10% off from November 11 through 15. Be sure you’re logged in, and then use the code YAYHOLIDAY when you’re checking out online or in-store.
Again, everyone will be able to take 30% off Sephora Collection items regardless of membership level. You can score free shipping too, with the code FREESHIP.
Don’t wait to shop your favorites or get a head start on holiday gifts — some of the most coveted products will likely start to sell out soon. We’ve picked out some of our favorite items to apply that Beauty Insider discount to, plus some of the Sephora Collection items at 30% off that we’re eyeing too.

This frankly gorgeous hair dryer is everything you love about the Dyson Supersonic (our pick for best high-end dryer), including ultra-fast drying and five styling attachments — the newest of which is a Flyaway attachment. This time, though, it comes dressed up in a gorgeous storage box and Prussian blue-copper colorway.

This reviving spray for curly, wavy and coily hair gets straight to moisturizing and fighting frizz, making it perfect for a quick spritz during busy morning routines.

This shampoo is great for the wool-hat, dry-air days of winter: It hydrates strands without adding so much moisture that you can feel your hair all weighed down after your wash. Pair it with the conditioner ($32.50), which also adds the perfect amount of hydration for maximum effect. It makes even my bleached, post-wash winter hair feel light and soft until the next shampoo instead of the next morning.

Some sprays promising beachy waves fall flat, but Playa’s is one of the first I’ve tried that actually works. If you have a little wave in your hair, it’ll help bring it out; if you’re naturally curly, it’s meant to even out natural patterns in your hair. (Plus, it works on dry hair, which is nice for between-shampoo days.)
Skin care

This silky oil effortlessly washes off makeup while still being good to your skin. It gets deep into your pores to remove buildup from the day and hydrates your skin at the same time. If you’re a double cleanser, it’s great to add into that routine; if not, it’s still pretty genius on its own.

This is a moisturizer that actually delivers on its promise of visible results and soft, hydrated skin. It’s a great night cream to use in the winter, and a little goes a long way.

If you’re in the market for new mascara, this sampler pack lets you try out five famously fantastic ones — including Too Faced’s iconic Better Than Sex mascara and Bite’s excellent formula. Then you can take the included certificate to Sephora to pick out a full-size version of your favorite (the cost is built into the price). All in all, considering how long travel-size mascaras last, it’s a pretty incredible value that gets even better with a Beauty Insider discount.

This water-based gel blush gives cheekbones a wash of color without it being a full-on look, and for us casual makeup people, that’s the perfect amount. Plus, it’s a clean, vegan brand, and we love that. (P.S.: The brand’s sunscreen is also really good.)

This palette costs less than a drugstore brand but has five-star ratings for its quality and variety of shades. We love that it can go day to night with its shades that range from matte to disco shimmery, making it the perfect palette to stash in your makeup bag for a fully scheduled day.
Fragrance

Warm and cozy for the chillier months of the year, this cult-favorite fragrance is clean (no harmful chemicals stuff in it) and has rich notes of cappuccino, vanilla and cedar.

Gift your friend who’s obsessed with their aroma diffuser this handy set for the other rooms in the house. It’s a smart home device that lets them control the intensity from a phone app or via Alexa to program it from anywhere — so it’s not perfuming while they’re at work, for example. Two vials of delicious fragrances from Nest, including a pine and a holiday blend, get them ready to set the scene for holiday entertaining.

This clean, planet-positive brand’s earthy, woody scent is inspired by the waning of summer and transition to fall — think fig’s late-summer scent, drifts of gardenia and notes of golden amber. We’d argue it’s never too late in the year for a spritz of it, though.

Sephora’s collection of skin care includes some great masks, and this seven-piece sampler showcases some of the best. The set treats skincare-lovers of a variety of skin types, including acne-prone and dry, and includes The Freezing Mask and a hair mask, as well as a hemp mousse mask and lip mask.

This set of 10 iconic YSL lipsticks and colors is the perfect gift to present your favorite makeup aficionado with — or to give your makeup drawer a refresh in one fell swoop. Lipstick balms and a series of long-wearing lip stains include both matt and more translucent ones. They’re selected to work on a wide range of skin tones and have shades for looks all year round, from red-browns to plump berries.

If you can’t remember the last time you bought new makeup brushes, now’s the time. This seven-piece set of vegan brushes take care of foundation, powder, blush, concealer, brows and more.
