This month is every skincare junkie and makeup guru’s favorite time of the year—the Sephora spring sale. They somehow time it perfectly each year with the sale taking place just when my beauty products are either empty or nearing the end of it. This time also marks a significant milestone for me—when my membership upgraded to Rouge. While I’m not entirely sure if that’s something I should be bragging about, there’s still time for you to rack up those points to experience Sephora’s maximum benefits.
There’s truly no better time to snag a couple products you’ve been eyeing or have had sitting in your cart then now. Everyone’s been dying to try the latest makeup trends and skincare products that are going viral, and now you finally can. Whether you are a beauty-lover or not, there is something at Sephora for everyone. Maybe you’re shopping for Mother’s Day, getting a present for your significant other (hint hint), or simply doing some retail therapy—whatever it may be, don’t pass up this opportunity to splurge with discounted prices.
