This week marks the second Sephora sale of the year (of only two). AKA, it’s every skincare junkie and makeup guru’s time to shine. The Sephora Savings Event is somehow always timed perfectly to the precise moment when my favorite beauty products are either empty or nearing their end. 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 of products you’ve been eyeing or have had sitting in your cart than 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 restocking old faves or simply doing some retail therapy—whatever it may be, don’t pass up this opportunity to treat yourself with discounted prices. 

If you’re not a frequent Sephora shopper, here are some of the details on the fall sale, plus my personal recommendations on what’s worth buying this year.

What is the Sephora Sale?

Sephora Beauty Insiders have the opportunity for extra savings during their Annual Savings Event—up to 30 percent off select items.

When is the Sephora Sale?

Sephora’s Savings Event is happening in early November! It lasts from Friday, November 1 to Monday, November 11, 2024.

How much will I save during the Sephora Sale?

Your savings will depend on your membership level at Sephora:

  • Rouge: 20 percent off starting November 1
  • VIB: 15 percent off starting November 5
  • Insider: 10 percent off starting November 5

Use the code SAVINGS for savings online, and mention your membership for in-store purchases. Sephora is also offering 30 percent off their Sephora brand collection through November 11. Not a Beauty Insider yet? Sign up for free before your purchase to save!

What’s Worth Shopping at the Sephora Sale

The start of cozy season is the perfect opportunity to clean out your bathroom cabinets or makeup bag by purging old makeup, worn-out tools, and expired beauty products. Plus, you can take inventory of what you need and what you still want to try.

As a Rouge member, I’ve had plenty of experience shopping and testing Sephora products. Some are major hits, while there are others I wouldn’t buy again. If you’re not sure where to start in shopping the sale, below you’ll find everything that I think is actually worth snagging. There are even some awesome splurges that you definitely deserve. Don’t forget to enter code SAVINGS at checkout!
