Sephora's biggest sale of the year is finally here!
Spring has sprung which means warmer weather, more vaccine availability, and of course — the annual spring Sephora sale.
The Sephora Spring Savings Event is the perfect chance to stock up on summer essentials like SPF and waterproof mascara, and splurge on all the makeup you missed out on wearing during quarantine. Don't know about you, but our makeup bags have been sorely neglected. Nearly everything needs restocking. Here you'll find markdowns on beloved brands likes Supergoop, Fenty Beauty and Too Faced, to name just a few.
As usual, the sales event has a tiered structure, giving shoppers in Sephora's membership programs early access. The program has three tiers—Rouge, VIB and Beauty Insider—and is totally free to join. You earn a point per dollar spent.
Rouge members — those who spend at least $1,000 a year at Sephora — can start shopping the sale on the first day, April 9, and get 20 percent off. VIB members (those who spend at least $350 a year at Sephora) can shop the sale beginning April 13, and get 15 percent off. Anyone who’s a Beauty Insider (no minimum purchase and no cost to sign up) can score 10 percent off starting April 15. Discounts are applied at checkout with the code OMGSPRING. It all ends April 19.
As if the offerings above weren't sweet enough, all members can enjoy a whopping 30 percent off everything in the Sephora Collection. This vast range of budget-friendly products has you totally covered, from lips to eyes to skin to hair.
Here are the products we're eyeing at the Sephora Spring Savings Event:
Bold lipstick for unmasked moments
SEPHORA COLLECTION #LIPSTORIES Lipstick is a highly pigmented lipstick available in matte, satin and metallic finishes in 40 fabulous shades. (I personally love "A Little Magic" which is a classic brick red shade). Now that more people will be vaccinated and you might not need to wear a mask as often, it's the perfect time to start playing around with new lip colors.
One reviewer shared that the color is very buildable. "I love this lipstick! It’s my new favorite everyday shade, it complements my skin perfectly. The formula allows it to be just a tint or you could swipe it for a richer color. The formula is so creamy, it doesn’t dry out my lips <3"
Shop it: SEPHORA COLLECTION #LIPSTORIES Lipstick, $9, on sale at sephora.com.
An SPF product you'll forget you're wearing
Supergoop! Unseen Sunscreen SPF 40 is an invisible, weightless, scentless and makeup-gripping daily primer with SPF 40. Apply if after moisturizer for a smoothing matte finish and under makeup as a primer. Want to reapply sunscreen without smearing your makeup? Keep Supergoop! Defense Refresh (Re)setting Mist SPF 40 in your bag for touchups.
This reviewer confirmed it doesn't have a white cast, "Great sunscreen! It does have that sunscreen smell, but in my opinion it does not linger. The sunscreen is clear, so no white cast but I also have white skin so you may not need my opinion in that area. It feels almost primer like and works great with makeup on top. I have had bad breakouts with chemical sunscreens in the past, but I haven't had any issues with this one. I am loving it!"

One reviewers says it's great on color-treated hair, "Absolutely love a hair mask and this one is free of all of the harmful ingredients I always try to avoid! My hair is colored and can sometimes feel dry, especially with all of the dry shampoo I use too. I use this once a week to revive my hair and make it feel silky smooth and full again. The smell is pretty natural and doesn't bother me much. I will continue to use along with the shampoo and conditoner combo to strengthen my hair in hopes it will grow super long! Definitely recommend this if you are looking for a moisturizing mask."

My mum, husband, and pretty much anyone I FaceTime with asks if I’m wearing makeup (I’m not) and comments on how glowy I look (I just had a baby and actually look haggered 24/7 so this is a game changer for me).
