VIB members will get 15% off their orders while Insiders get 10% off and all Sephora shoppers can get 30% off the Sephora Collection with the code YAYSAVE.
We’ve combed through the best Sephora deals so you don’t have to (prices below reflect the maximum 20% discount). From skin-saving products to makeup steals, here’s what’s actually in my basket. (You’re welcome.)
Skin care deals
Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask
Up to 20% off with code YAYSAVE
Leave-on sleep masks are a game changer if you struggle with chapped lips, as the magic happens overnight. Simply slather on this (delicious), hydrating mask and wake up without any cracks or flakes. Although this is an overnight mask, I’ve used this throughout the day for an instant fix and, honestly, all-day glossy lips. I can’t even count how many times I’ve repurchased this miracle worker — and I’ll gladly do it again.
Sephora Collection Jade Facial Roller
Up to 30% off with code YAYSAVE
Lately, I’ve been obsessed with lymphatic drainage and massages, and a jade facial roller is a handy tool to help relax tense facial muscles and massage away excess fluids to reduce puffiness. This roller from the Sephora Collection is made from jade, which can be refrigerated for an added cooling effect. You can even use this handy tool with all of your lotions and potions to help your skin care soak in.
Sephora Collection Hydrating Face Mask
Up to 30% off with code YAYSAVE
If I’m trying to amplify my makeup, I’ll start with a hydrating face mask to ensure my skin is prepped, hydrated and glowy. I always stock up on these face masks whenever they’re on sale, especially since they’re vegan and made with hyaluronic acid.
Dr. Jart+ Cicapair Tiger Grass Color-Correcting Treatment
Up to 20% off with code YAYSAVE
I’ll never forget how stunned I was the first time I used this color-correcting treatment. If you’re prone to redness, this treatment will instantly match your skin tone and conceal blemishes. It’s on the thicker side, so if you’re acne-prone or have sensitive skin, use sparingly. This is especially great to have handy now that it’s getting sunnier, as it’s made with broad-spectrum SPF 30 as a bonus.
Kiehl’s Mini Creamy Eye Treatment With Avocado
Up to 20% off with code YAYSAVE
This eye treatment has been a staple in my skin routine for years to treat my puffy eyes. It’s ultra hydrating, thanks to the avocado oil, and visibly brightens and depuffs the bags under my eyes. I like to leave this on overnight to wake up feeling refreshed and hydrated.
Summer Fridays Lip Butter Balm
Up to 20% off with code YAYSAVE
Believe the hype — this is my holy-grail lip balm that I must have with me at all times. I’ve never used a balm that has worked such wonders, thanks to the shea and murumuru seed butters that naturally moisturize and condition lips. The Brown Sugar is especially wonderful.
Makeup deals
Stila Stay All Day Waterproof Liquid Eyeliner
Up to 20% off with code YAYSAVE
This is, by far, the best liquid eyeliner I’ve ever used. I’m extremely particular with liquid liners and felt tips, but this Stila liner surpassed my expectations. The marker-like application makes it easy to draw on a quick cat eye or intensify a bolder look. It’s also extremely dark and non-watery, and it doesn’t smudge or smear throughout the day. The brown option is a fun change of pace too, especially if you have light eyes.
Huda Beauty Easy Bake Loose Baking & Setting Powder
Up to 20% off with code YAYSAVE
Although I love a glowy look, I’ll admit my oily skin needs some mattifying powder to get me through the day. I love this lightweight, silky setting powder from Huda Beauty. It’s made with rice starch powder to absorb excess oil and vitamin E to strengthen the skin barrier. The powder goes on smoothly and doesn’t settle into fine lines or creases.
Merit Beauty Flush Balm Cream Blush
Up to 20% off with code YAYSAVE
I absolutely love the blush comeback that’s been trending in the beauty world. I’ve tested many cream blushes to see how they blend and match with my skin tone, and this clean beauty blush has helped me achieve the most natural, glowing application thus far. This easy-to-use cream blush quite literally takes two seconds to apply and blend out. It’s on the sheer side and super buildable if you want to achieve a bolder look. I’ve even used this on my lips, although you’ll definitely have to reapply throughout the day.
Rare Beauty Positive Light Liquid Luminizer
Up to 20% off with code YAYSAVE
I’m haunted by the startling amount of powder highlighter I used to wear back in the day. Though I can never go back, I’m still a fan of looking dewy. This silky, soft liquid highlighter has just the right amount of shimmer without being too overpowering. A little goes a long way, so you’ll only need one drop for a natural, glowy shine.
Anastasia Beverly Hills Long-Lasting Velvety-Matte Lip Liner
Up to 20% off with code YAYSAVE
I’m not exaggerating when I say I get compliments every single time I wear this liner. This long-wearing, ultra-pigmented liner is so smooth yet somehow doesn’t budge throughout the day. I love the shade Chai with a clear gloss or sheer lipstick.
Fenty Beauty Match Stix Matte Contour Skinstick
Up to 20% off with code YAYSAVE
It’s tough finding the balance of a pigmented contour stick that’s also easy to blend. I love this one from Fenty since all I need is a quick swipe on the cheeks for a noticeable contour — plus the application really lets me sculpt my cheekbones. It’s creamy enough to blend over any foundation and is compact enough to travel with.
Hair care deals
Amika Soulfood Nourishing Hair Mask
Up to 20% off with code YAYSAVE
As someone with unruly, heat-damaged curls, hydration is key in my hair-washing routine. I’m always mindful of heavy masks since I don’t want to weigh down my curls, but after using this nourishing mask once, I was hooked. My hair instantly felt revived and hydrated after one use.
Dry Bar High Top Self-Grip Rollers
Up to 20% off with code YAYSAVE
There’s nothing more satisfying than achieving the perfect Farrah Fawcett-inspired blowout. I love the process of getting dolled up with hair rollers set in my hair — I really believe curls last longer when they’re in rollers. Although it may take more time than using a curling wand, these self-grip rollers are guaranteed to add volume to your look.
Fragrance and body care deals
Yves Saint Laurent Black Opium Eau de Parfum
Up to 20% off with code YAYSAVE
If you love warm, spicy scents, you'll easily become obsessed with this fragrance from Yves Saint Laurent and its notes of vanilla and coffee. I love how long-lasting this scent is, on top of how unique and bold it smells.
Sol de Janeiro Brazilian Bum Bum Cream
Up to 20% off with code YAYSAVE
I’m selective with fragrances and tend to avoid any creams that come with a scent — except for this deliciously warm and caramel-scented moisturizer. I go through this cream at record levels because it smells that good, in addition to keeping my skin smooth and moisturized. It’s made with caffeine-rich guaranà to keep skin firm too.
