We may be celebrating Halloween this weekend, but one festive gift has already arrived: the Sephora Holiday Savings Event. It’s the beauty retailer’s annual slew of sitewide deals, but we’re used to making a dash for the black and white stripes sometime in November. We’re weeks, if not a full month, ahead of schedule—but who doesn’t love a punctual sale?
The Sephora Holiday Savings Event is giving us the gift of time (among perfect hair, makeup, and skin care products) to re-stock our vanities. Now we can shop for ourselves and the fellow beauty lovers on our gift list—all without the familiar panic that comes with seasonal shopping. But before you get into the marked-down goodness, there are some things you should know about the sale.
How to shop the Sephora Holiday Savings Event
The discounts are broken out into three tiers based on how much money you’ve dropped at Sephora this year, also known as your Beauty Insider status.
- Members of the first tier (Beauty Insiders, i.e., anyone who gave the brand their email address) receive 10% off from November 3 through November 7.
- Tier two (VIB Insiders, or those who spent at least $350 per year) receive 15% off from November 1 through November 7.
- Sephora Rouge Members (those who spend at least $1,000 per year—no shame) get 20% off from October 28 through November 7.
As a bonus, Sephora Collection products will be 30% off, so it’s the perfect time to get your stocking stuffers sorted. All tiers have access to the discount through November 7, so if you haven’t already, sign up now. Just remember to use the SAVINGS promo code at checkout, and watch the prices drop.
If you’ve been around these parts, you know products go quickly—which is why we got a jump on making your shopping list for you. We suggest taking advantage of the bargains and stocking up on already discounted holiday sets or going for that big-ticket item you’ve been eyeing, like a NuFace toning device or a blow-dry brush. Even if you’re just stocking up on favorites, now is the time to add to cart.
