Guess what day it is?! That’s right… it’s the day the Sephora Savings event kicks off! If you’ve never shopped this event before, it’s basically one of two really big sales that Sephora does each year. The sale kicks off today and goes through November 6 this year.

To access the savings, you must be a member of the Sephora Beauty Insider reward program. I can tell you from experience, this program is amazing. You get so many benefits, plus it’s totally free to join. Click here to sign up!

Whenever you become a member, you can qualify for different “tiers” depending on how much you spend throughout the year. Immediately upon joining, you become a Sephora Insider, meaning you get 1 point back any time you make a purchase in person or online.

After you spend $350 within a year, you get bumped up to VIB status, which means you get 1.25 points back on purchases. To become a Rouge member and earn 1.5 points back on any purchase, you have to spend over $1,000.

Similar to Nordstrom sales, the Sephora Savings Event is a tiered sale. What does this mean? Basically everyone who is a member gets 30% off anything in the Sephora Collection for as long as the event is going on.

Rouge members get 20% off ALL items from today through November 6th. VIB members get 15% off all items starting October 31st through the end of the sale. And Insiders get 10% off beginning October 31st.

I know that’s kind of confusing, so here’s a quick breakdown:

10/27-11/6: 30% OFF SEPHORA COLLECTION

10/27-11/6: 20% OFF ROUGE

10/31-11/6: 15% OFF VIB

10/31-11/6: 10% OFF INSIDERS

To save, you have to use code TIMETOSAVE at checkout. If you’re shopping in the store, be sure to mention that you’re shopping the savings event!

I’m sharing some of my most trusted Sephora favorites below in case you need some ideas of what to shop. These are the skin, hair, and face products I use regularly and love. Happy shopping!

Skincare Favorites

If you’re looking to update your skincare routine, I can’t recommend the Augustinus Bader cream enough. I’ve used this for years now and love how it makes my skin look and feel. I wrote a full review on the blog here. This lip sleeping mask by Laneige is another favorite of mine. I use it every night to keep my lips from getting dry and cracked.

Hair Favorites

Y’all know I love me some hair care products! I’ve been using the same items for years now. I’ll try out new products every now and then, but I always find myself going back to the classics like the Living Proof dry shampoo and the Oribe texturing spray. If you’re looking for a reason to splurge on the Dyson Airwrap, now is the perfect time!

Face Favorites

I consider myself a minimalist when it comes to makeup, but I know what I like and I stick with it. Like I can’t even remember how long I’ve been using this foundation from Giorgio Armani. It’s called Luminous Silk for a reason — I swear it feels like silk on your skin. Also, I’ve raved about this under eye concealer for a long time now (I’m talking to you, tired mamas) and anything by Merit is absolutely making my list (this would be a cute stocking stuffer too!).
