Sephora Savings Event: Editors’ Beauty, Hair and Skincare Picks

The most useful way to shop Sephora’s annual Savings Event is to start with products editors already reach for: a body wash that makes a shower feel more considered, a styling tool suited to long hair, or a makeup palette that earns its space in a routine. This year’s event runs from October 30 through November 9, with discounts tied to Beauty Insider membership tiers.

Rouge members get 20 percent off from October 30. VIB members receive 15 percent off, and Beauty Insider members get 10 percent off starting November 3. Sephora Collection products are 30 percent off for everyone from the start of the event. Use code ALLONSALE at checkout. The selection below brings together editor favorites across body care, skin care, hair and makeup, with prices listed as provided.

Body care with a scent story

Nerisha Penrose, beauty commerce editor, reaches for fragrance-friendly body care. The Fenty Beauty by Rihanna Mini Milks Hydrating Body Milk Travel Pouch Trio is $35 and packages three body milks in travel-friendly pouches. Penrose says she layers body products under fragrance, and has recently been drawn to Amber Bouquet, which she describes as warm and slightly woody. The small formats make the trio an easy fit for a carry-on or a first try at the scents.

Her other body-care pick is the Cyklar Sex Musk Sensorial Body Wash, also $35. Its scent combines spices, woods and musks; Penrose likes how it lingers after a shower and says the wash leaves her skin feeling supple. She’s also tried the brand’s rollerball perfume oil in the same scent collection. For shoppers building a coordinated fragrance routine, the wash offers a starting point that doesn’t require adding another perfume format.

Skin care for cooler weather

Beauty editor Katie Berohn’s seasonal pick is the First Aid Beauty KP Bump Eraser Body Scrub, priced at $30. She turns to it when colder weather leaves her skin feeling dry, and values its combination of physical pumice beads with glycolic and lactic acids. The texture pairs physical exfoliation with acids, a practical option for people who want both in one body product. Berohn says it softens her skin without feeling too harsh.

Berohn also recommends the Biodance Bio Collagen-Real Deep Mask (4 Pack), which costs $19. She says she has been using the masks frequently and has received more compliments on her skin. Biodance founder Mihwa Kim told Berohn she uses one every day; that’s a personal routine, rather than a requirement for getting started with the four-pack.

Associate beauty commerce writer Emma Aerin Becker singles out the $349 Shark CryoGlow™ Under-Eye Cooling + LED Anti-Aging Red Light & Skin Clearing Mask. She says its cooling under-eye feature appealed to her because she’s prone to puffiness, and that the InstaChill technology feels pleasant to use. After several months, she finds the device easy to fit into her routine. Its high price makes the event discount a notable consideration for anyone already interested in an at-home LED tool.

Tools and finishing touches

For longer hair, Becker likes the $163 Bio Ionic Long Barrel Styler Curling Iron 1.5”. The extended barrel gives longer lengths and extensions more room as they wrap around the iron. Becker says its ionic technology helps hair glide across the barrel, and that she uses the 1.25-inch size for a looser curl. The listed pick is 1.5 inches, so shoppers should check the size before choosing.

Beauty commerce editor Nerisha Penrose is ready to replace her longtime flat iron with the $170 T3 SinglePass StyleMax Professional 1" Ceramic Flat Iron. Its curved edges are designed to let the user create curls while straightening, helping avoid the sharp bends that can interrupt a smooth finish. Penrose sees it as a potential upgrade for silk presses.

Senior fashion commerce editor Dale Chong credits the $349 Shark Beauty Shark Beauty FlexStyle IonCurl Ion Air Drying, Curling & Styling System with getting her to style her hair in the morning. Her endorsement is brief, but it points to the appeal of a multi-use tool for people who want to make everyday styling part of their routine.

For makeup, Chong favors the $98 Hourglass Ambient Lighting Edit Unlocked Palette. She prefers the Hope Palette for medium-shade skin, citing its warmer blushes and bronzer, which she finds wearable in colder months. It’s the kind of edit that can pull complexion products into one compact, while offering a warmer color direction.

Chong’s finishing step is Davines Oi Oil Reestructurante Sin Aclarado - 50 ml. The source lists no Sephora price for this item; it shows $28 at Amazon as an alternative. Chong praises its fragrance and says it leaves her hair feeling silky and looking shiny. Together, the picks make a practical shortlist: choose the formats and tools that suit your routine, then use the event’s tier and timing to decide what to restock.
