As Your Neighborhood Shopaholic, Here’s What I Plan To Buy At The Sephora Sale

Being that friend who always knows the latest beauty trends isn’t for the faint of heart. You don’t just scroll through social media for the hottest products — you’re practically running a 24/7 undercover operation on the beauty industry. And who’s your trusted guide through the aisles of overhyped highlighters and skincare scams? That’s right: me. My credentials? A credit card with burn marks from impromptu Sephora runs and a Rouge membership that’s my version of a suburban mom’s Costco card. So, if it’s not worth your precious bathroom counter space, I’ll let you know — I’ve done the research, so you don’t have to.

The Sephora Savings Event (from Nov. 1-11) grants access to the sale in tiers depending on your Beauty Insider status. During the 11-day sale, Beauty Insiders can save up to 20% off across all beauty categories — including skincare tools like the elite NuFace technology that was just included in Time‘s Best Inventions of 2024. Still, regardless of your membership tier, you can save 30% off Sephora Collection products, so start adding to cart ASAP. 

Sephora Savings: Haircare

K18 Molecular Hair Mask

K18 Molecular Hair Mask
 $75.00

If you have dry or damaged hair, the K18 Molecular Hair Mask is a must-try. I’m on my fifth bottle (talk about loyalty), and I can’t imagine going without it. It repairs damage from bleach, coloring, chemical treatments, and heat styling (looking at you, budget blow-dry brushes), and brings back strength, softness, and smoothness.

Dae Cactus Fruit 3-in-1 Styling Cream Taming Wand

Dae Cactus Fruit 3-in-1 Styling Cream Taming Wand
 $18.00

If you have flyaways or breakage (or just want to look sleek af), the Dae Cactus Fruit 3-in-1 Styling Cream Taming Wand is your new BFF. It’s my go-to product no matter how I style my hair, leaving it tamed and smooth literally all day. And, TBH, I get an extra to keep in my bag with me in case of emergencies. 

Briogeo Scalp Revival Rosemary Pre-Wash Scalp and Hair Oil

Briogeo Scalp Revival Rosemary Pre-Wash Scalp and Hair Oil
 $32.00

If your hair needs TLC, the Briogeo Scalp Revival Rosemary Pre-Wash Scalp and Hair Oil will give you the attention you need. It’s super moisturizing, soothes your scalp, and helps promote hair growth. 

Sephora Savings: Makeup 

Milk Makeup Hydro Grip + Glow Illuminating Primer

Milk Makeup Hydro Grip + Glow Illuminating Primer
 $30.00

If you want a glowy base AND your makeup to stay on all day, Milk Makeup Hydro Grip + Glow Illuminating Primer will deliver. Not only has it lasted me on the most humid and sweatiest days, but I’ve never gotten more compliments on my skin. Now, I may be paraphrasing, but I think the words “perfect skin” were even thrown around.

Stila Stay All Day Waterproof Liquid Eye Liner

Stila Stay All Day Waterproof Liquid Eye Liner
 $24.00

If you are looking for sleek liner sharp enough to cut a b*tch, the Stila Stay All Day Waterproof Liquid Eye Liner is your girl. This has had my stamp of approval for YEARS, and I have yet to find a liner that is as foolproof, long-lasting, and pigmented. I should also add that, like me, it doesn’t run so you don’t have to worry about raccoon eyes. 

Makeup by Mario Soft Pop Plumping Blush Veil

Makeup by Mario Soft Pop Plumping Blush Veil
 $30.00

Makeup by Mario Soft Pop Plumping Blush Veil (I personally love the shade Strawberry Sunset) is that perfect, just-blushed pink that makes you look alive (even when you’re not feeling it). It blends like spreading butter on a warm roll and leaves a dewy finish that says “I’m naturally this cute.” Plus, the plumping effect adds a little extra oomph to your cheeks. 

Sephora Savings: Skincare

Saie Sunvisor Radiant Moisturizing Face Sunscreen SPF 35

Saie Sunvisor Radiant Moisturizing Face Sunscreen SPF 35
 $38.00

The Saie Sunvisor Radiant Moisturizing Face Sunscreen SPF 35 is like a skincare-makeup hybrid you’ll actually look forward to using. It’s got SPF 35, so your skin stays protected, plus a dewy finish that makes you look like you’re fresh from a spa day. The formula is lightweight, hydrating, and leaves zero white cast—just a nice, natural glow. And it’s perfect under makeup, giving you a smooth base without any weird texture.

St. Tropez Self Tan Purity Bronzing Water Face Mist

St. Tropez Self Tan Purity Bronzing Water Face Mist
 $33.00

The St. Tropez Self Tan Purity Bronzing Water Face Mist is your go-to for that sun-kissed glow without the sun. This ultra-fine mist gives you a buildable tan that develops gradually—think “just back from vacation” vibes, but without the actual trip. It feels refreshing and lightweight on your skin, plus it’s packed with skincare-like to keep your face hydrated. No streaks, no TEMU orange tint, just a natural-looking glow that’s easy to spritz on whenever you need a little boost. 

Nudestix NUDESKIN Citrus Clean Balm & Make-Up Melt

NUDESTIX NUDESKIN Citrus Clean Balm & Make-Up Melt
 $35.00

The Nudestix NUDESKIN Citrus Clean Balm & Make-Up Melt is like hitting reset on your face after a long day. It’s got these juicy citrus oils that melt away makeup in seconds, so you’re not stuck scrubbing like it’s a punishment. Just massage it on, and it takes everything with it—yes, even the waterproof stuff—leaving your skin soft and refreshed, not greasy. It’s the kind of product that makes washing your face feel almost…fun?

Sephora Savings: Fragrance

Ellis Brooklyn SUPER AMBER Eau de Parfum

Ellis Brooklyn SUPER AMBER Eau de Parfum
 $110.00

Ellis Brooklyn SUPER AMBER Eau de Parfum is like a big hug you can wear. This scent blends warm amber and sweet vanilla for a vibe that’s just right—comforting but still gets you noticed. It lasts all day, so you can count on compliments while feeling like you’re wrapped in luxury. 

Salt & Stone Santal Body Mist

Salt & Stone Santal & Vetiver Body Fragrance Mist
 $45.00

The Salt & Stone Santal Body Mist is the perfect blend of chill and cozy. This mist has a warm, woodsy scent that feels fresh and earthy, making it a go-to for all-day wear. Plus, it leaves your skin feeling hydrated and smelling amazing. I don’t know if scents can boost your mood, but it’s literally impossible for me not to be happy when I smell like this.

NEST Limited Edition Holiday Candle

NEST New York Holiday Candle
 $50.00

I am GIDDY thinking about the NEST Limited Edition Holiday Candle. The holidays are my absolute favorite and this candle is like bottling up that scent and getting to relive it every second. I also love giving NEST as a gift because who doesn’t want the smell of happiness and cheer surrounding them?

Sephora Savings: Beauty Tools 

NuFACE Mini+ Petite Facial Toning Device

NuFACE® Mini+ Petite Facial Toning Device

The NuFACE Mini+ Petite Facial Toning Device is your pocket-sized skincare game changer. This little powerhouse delivers a microcurrent treatment that helps lift, tone, and firm your skin. Basically, it’s like a workout for your face. It’s super easy to use and perfect for those days when you need a quick refresh.
