Hey sis!
It’s the most wonderful time of the year! The Sephora Beauty Insider sale is here and now is the time to stock up on all your favorites!
The Sephora Beauty Insider Sale is back again and my cart is waaay too full. Lucky for me I just found a Sephora gift card in my wallet that I just happen to find just before the sale.
Skin care has quickly become my addiction and I couldn’t be more obsessed with trying new products and adding to my routine. If you are newer to skin care and overwhelmed on where to begin, I wrote this blog post about how to build a skin care routine (also on YouTube here).
The Sephora Beauty Insider Sale happens twice a year and offers major discounts site wide. Anyone can become a beauty insider (it’s free!) and the more you spend the higher level you become which equals more discounts! Access the discount by logging into your Sephora account and using code SAVINGS. (Breakdown below).
Commonly Asked Questions:
WHEN CAN I SHOP?
Beauty Insider — Free to join, 10% off site wide November 5th to November 15th.

Also this year Sephora is offering 30% off the entire Sephora Collection starting November 5th through 15th. I’ve never seen them do this before but I am so here for it!
HOW DO I SEE WHAT STATUS I AM?
Check your Sephora profile you can access your account through the app or on their website. Under your profile look for “beauty insider” this will have your level of status!
IS THE SALE WORTH IT?
YES in my opinion and I’ll tell you why. Unlike other retailers like Nordstrom or Revolve that have sales all the time, the beauty industry isn’t changing out as quickly as clothing styles. Look at when sales typically occur, at the end of a season that’s because these retailers are looking to push out all their products before styles change. The beauty industry doesn’t really have “seasons” and the skincare and makeup companies can sell the same products for years. The Sephora Spring Savings Event is a perfect time to take advantage of skincare, makeup, etc. products being on sale because they typically are not.
No matter what level of insider status you might have, it is a perfect time to stock up on beauty favorites and products you’ve had your eye on! Because my skincare addiction runs DEEP I wanted to share a few of my recent favorite products.
What I’m Restocking
I love to use the sale as a time to really take advantage of any restocks I need. I have a few ride or die skincare products that I always seem to be out of anytime the sale rolls around. I’ll try to suffer without or make swaps and really stock up at the sale.
LANEIGE
Lip Sleeping Mask
I love this lip mask. I use it every single day! It is the most hydrating lip product you will ever try! I love to use the mini sizes in my purse and throw on as a gloss over lipstick. Nothing I’ve ever used compares to this. I usually try and stock up one or two at the sale since I fly through them so quickly! It is truly the best there is!
IT COSMETICS
CC+ Nude Glow Lightweight Foundation + Glow Serum with SPF 40 and Niacinamide
This is what I use for foundation! I always try to stock up on this at the first day of the sale because my shade Medium does sell out! This version the glow serum is new and recently came out this past spring and I’ve been loving it! I love the coverage on this cc cream because it is super hydrating and dewy and never looks cakey. It always looks like real skin! I’ve been using this for years and it lasts me about 10 months to a year!
LANEIGE
Water Bank Blue Hyaluronic Cream Moisturizer
I am a huge Laneige fan beyond just their Lip Mask. Their products are so lightweight and hydrating and just give you the best glow. I have been using their moisturizer and just ran out recently. This Water Bank Blue Moisturizer is new and just came out and I think it is replacing their previous moisturizer because I don’t see it online anymore . The reviews are insane so I really want to check it out! The consistency looks super whipped which I LOVE. If you are new to this brand, I highly suggest trying out this starter kit. It has my favorite leave on mask, my go to face wash, the lip mask, the moisturizer and a hydration serum that is ok haha but the other products are to die for!
FARMACY
Honeymoon Glow AHA Resurfacing Night Serum with Hydrating Honey + Gentle Flower Acids
I love a good AHA serum. AHA’s help even out dull skin tone and work to peel away the top surface of your skin so that new cells can take their place AKA leaving you with a nice GLOW. AHA’s help the skin regenerate faster so you aren’t walking around with dull skin. I purchased this at the Spring 2020 Sephora sale and it has quickly become one of my favorite products and this is my third time restocking it. I love it because it works DEEP. I can really feel it working which I love and the results are incredible. This is a MUST TRY!
SUNDAY RILEY
Good Genes All-In-One AHA Lactic Acid TreatmentHoneymoon Glow AHA Resurfacing Night Serum with Hydrating Honey + Gentle Flower Acids
I purchased this years ago and recently started using it again because I found a sample of it. I don’t know why I ever stopped using this! My skin has never looked better and I haven’t found a product that replaces this yet. A lactic-acid, AHA serum that targets the look of pores, hyperpigmentation, and dark spots and is clinically shown to reduce the look of fine lines and wrinkles. Hydrates and exfoliates the surface layers of skin, smoothing its texture, improving the look of fine lines and wrinkles, and visibly clarifying blemishes. This is a MUST have for me and I’ve been scraping the sample waiting for the sale to restock this!
A Few of My All Time Favorite Products
I love to use the sale as a time to really take advantage of any restocks I need. I have a few ride or die skincare products that I always seem to be out of anytime the sale rolls around. I’ll try to suffer without or make swaps and really stock up at the sale.
FARMACY
Honeymoon Glow AHA Resurfacing Night Serum with Hydrating Honey + Gentle Flower Acids
Mentioned above but I love it because it works DEEP. I can really feel it working which I love and the results are incredible. This is a MUST TRY!
BIOSSANCE
Squalane + Peptide Eye Gel
I have been very anti-eye cream for awhile because I have yet to find one where I can physically see a difference in puffiness and dark circles. My mother about had a heart attack when she found out I wasn’t using one at all so I decided to do some research and wanted to try this Biossance one after reading good things. I tried a sample and WOW I have never scrapped a product out of a tiny sample container like I have this eye gel. I noticed a difference after one night! When I finally ran out my eyes went back to their veiny-puffy selves and I knew I needed this eye gel on my counter! I’ve repurchases this maybe four or five times now? I’ve stopped trying other eye serums because this does the absolute MOST.
LANEIGE
Moisturizing Cream Cleanser
I got a sample of this face wash and started throwing it in my toiletry bag when I was traveling (which let’s be real if you follow me on Instagram is every weekend). I became addicted to this product because unlike a drying face wash, this goes on like a cream and still suds up but leaves your skin feeling so ultra hydrated and smooth. The price point is great too at only $23. I love this brand and every product I’ve tried from them I’ve been in love with.
CHARLOTTE TILBURY
Hollywood Flawless Filter
This is also on my restock list! I’ve never been in love with a makeup product like I am with this one. It works so well to give you the best natural, dewy glow under your makeup. It’s not a primer and it’s not foundation so don’t confuse it with that. I put this on under or over makeup to give me a really natural dewy glow. Note: Be sure your skin is moisturized and hydrated before using this or it won’t blend how you want it to look. It pulls your skin undertone through to make the glow so if your base is super dry this will just cake and not give you that dewy glow.
DIOR
Forever Skin Correct Concealer
I tried this from a friend at a wedding and my makeup looked flawless. I have been using Shape Tape by Tarte and not loving how it looks long wear. I really loved how this looked even after hours of wear. I love full coverage for under eye and pairing with a lighter foundation
SUNDAY RILEY
C.E.O. Glow Vitamin C + Turmeric Face Oil
I swear by my ride or die vitamin C serum so I wasn’t looking to change but when I travel I notice my skin is more dry and I loved the thought of putting an oil on my face to get my vitamin C serum. When I started reading the ingredients I noticed they were quite different from each other and the two serums actually complement each other really well. I love this serum for travel when my skin is really dry and needing that extra hydration. I use this every other day on a normal basis in tandem with my fave vitamin C.
Being a girl is so hard and expensive haha. I always look forward to this sale and know I’m going to save money long term by stocking up but dropping this much money at once always hurts me a bit. I know I say this a lot, but don’t ever feel like you NEED anything. You are beautiful with or without it sis. I share because I love to talk about skincare and now makeup with my friends and this is all just girlfriend chat!
