Listen up, folks! It’s time to get your wish lists prepped, credit cards ready, and your stamina up because it’s time to go shopping! Sephora’s Savings Event is almost here, and anyone who has even the slightest interest in beauty knows that this is a big deal. Twice a year, Sephora discounts everything on its site for its beloved Beauty Insiders. The last event took place in April, so this upcoming one might be our last chance to save for 2025. And with the holidays right around the corner, there is literally no better time to get your go-tos, gifts, or just new products you want to try.
The Sephora Savings Event starts on Friday, October 31, and will run through Monday, November 10. However, with deals this good, you really don’t want to wait until the end to start shopping. The event is broken down into tiers that can offer savings up to 20% off the entire store, so your Insider status will determine how much you can save and how early. At the top, you have Rouge members who get 20% off and get to shop the sale first, starting tomorrow. After that, the sale opens up to V.I.B. and Insider status starting on Tuesday, November 4, with V.I.B. having 15% off and Insiders having 10% off.
Since there are different ranges in discounts, it can seem a little overwhelming, especially if you’re trying to decide what to get. Luckily, as a beauty writer, I took it upon myself to do a breakdown on what to get and why it’s worth it, depending on your status. Below, check out our favorite must-haves to snag this year during the Sephora Savings Event. Happy shopping!
For Rouge Members
To be a Rouge member you have to shop at Sephora a lot and spend a significant amount of money to retain that status. So chances are you’ve shopped this event countless of times and know the best and most splurge-worthy items sell out first, so you’re gonna have to get on it. If I was lucky enough to have Rouge status, these are the gems I would snag.
Armani Beauty Long-Lasting Mascara & Liquid Eyeshadow Tint Set
When you’re Rouge you should be buying all the luxe makeup products like this Armani Beauty gift set that’s perfect for your mom (or yourself).
Mane The Three Way Multi-Use Flat Iron
Having Rouge status makes this the perfect opportunity to snag high-end appliances. The new Mane Three Way flat iron is the perfect tool to create waves, curls, and straight tresses.
Canopy Handheld Filtered Showerhead
And speaking of tresses, updating your shower head to a filtered one can do wonders for your hair and skin. This one by Canopy comes with everything you need to install it seamlessly so you can be showering in filtered water asap.

La Mer? On Sale?! Don’t question it — just add it to cart! With this iconic crème set you can keep one at home and one in your carry-on, or you can have one and give another to a very deserving friend.
For VIB Members
I’m a VIB and have stayed at VIB for quite some time now. I use this as an opportunity to snag your regular go-tos like concealer or cleanser, but I also use this as an opportunity to buy beauty gifts that I know my friends and family would want. This is the tier where you could go either way on the spending.
Charlotte Tilbury Lip and Cheek Trio Makeup Gift Set
Charlotte Tilbury should always be on your Sephora shopping list, especially if there’s a sale. This gift set will make for a luxe stocking stuffer for anyone on your list.

When you’re in the V.I.B. tier, it’s best to stick to the products that you know and love. This amika Hydro Rush hair mask is a savior for my dry and damaged curly strands.
Makeup By Mario Essential Cosmetic Brush Set
Makeup by Mario’s Dual-ended brush has gone triple platinum for MUA’s everywhere. But with this essential cosmetic brush set, you get the two brushes that make up the one and three other brushes for the ultimate collection.
Caudalie Vinoperfect Brightening Routine
If you struggle with dark spots but are highly sensitive to acids like vitamin C then I would highly recommend trying Caudalie Vinoperfect Brightening serum and with this kit, you get a full-sized bottle of the serum, a mini moisturizer, and eye cream all for the price of the serum — but for less now.
KAYALI VANILLA | 28 Eau de Parfum Perfume Duo Set
If you’re a gourmand girlie or just love a good vanilla scent during this time of year, you have to get this Vanilla 28 Duo set. You can wear this fragrance alone but it smells even better when you layer it with something else. I wear this perfume almost every day.
For Insider Members
When you’re an Insider you’re only saving 10% but nonetheless that’s still a good deal, because let’s be honest: you were going to shop anyway. As an Insider, I would take this as an opportunity to try that new product you’ve always wanted to try, like a lippie or mascara. But if you could also use this as an opportunity to snag little gift sets and stocking stuffers for your friends (or yourself).
