Please note the prices listed below do not reflect the discount you’ll receive. Discounts are applied at checkout based on your Sephora membership status.
Skincare
Laneige Minis Lip Set: “I’m picking up this mini lip mask set to cover all of my stocking stuffer gifting needs this holiday season. This is the only lip care brand that soothes my dry, cracked lips in the winter. Plus, the pack of five means I can easily gift a few to my family members — and maybe even keep one for myself!” — Madi Koetting, Commerce Editor. Get it for $21 on Sephora!
Shani Darden Hydration Peptide Cream: “No matter the season, I always incorporate this lightweight hydrating cream into my skincare routine. Not only does the formula lock moisture into the skin, but it also leaves it with a plump and dewy finish that lasts all day. I appreciate that the texture isn’t sticky and love how it works fabulously under makeup.” — Taylor Lane, Commerce Writer. Get it for $60 on Sephora!
Mara Algae Retinol Face Oil: “As a beauty writer, I rarely stay loyal to just one skincare formula, but this retinol oil is the exception. Retinol has been a challenge for me since my skin leans dry, but this hydrating formula floods my skin with moisture — thanks to algae and green tea — while feeding my skin all the wrinkle-fighting benefits, sans irritation. I’ve gone through three bottles, and I plan on stocking up during the sale so I never have to live without it.” — Mary Honkus, Commerce Writer. Get it for $120 on Sephora!
Dermalogica Depuffing Eye Gel: “Eating, drinking and being merry (aka staying up too late) worsens my under-eye puffiness, so a soothing, caffeine-infused eye gel comes in handy all season long. Dermalogica is slowly taking over my entire skincare regimen, and this eye gel is my current favorite!” — Erica Radol, Commerce Writer. Get it for $59 on Sephora!
Haircare
Kérastase Hair and Scalp Serum: “My hairstylist recommended I check out Kérastase a couple months ago, and I’ve never looked back. As someone with thin hair, I’m constantly looking for ways to thicken my strands, and this serum makes a serious difference without weighing my hair down or making it feel oily.” — Hanna Wilde, Affiliate Manager. Get it for $60 on Sephora!
Dae Volumizing Dry Shampoo Powder: “This is the best dry shampoo I’ve ever used, and it lasts such a long time! I like that it’s a powder rather than an aerosol, and it smells amazing.” — Hanna Wilde, Affiliate Manager. Get it for $30 on Sephora!
Amika Soul Food Nourishing Hair Mask: “Hands down, this is my all-time favorite hair mask for nourishing my curly hair. I use it just once per week, making the eight-ounce tub last several months. The luxe smell is intoxicating!” — Madi Koetting, Commerce Editor. Get it for $34 on Sephora!
Briogeo Scalp Revival Essentials Kit: “For the most part, I keep my hair in protective styles. When I’m in between styles, this set not only cleanses and condition my hair, but strengthens my scalp.” — Jasmine Washington, Commerce Writer. Get it for $64 on Sephora!
Oribe Smoothing Blowout Cream: “As a curly-haired girl, I appreciate a good blowout, but my wallet says otherwise. To stay within budget, I started seeking out hair products that give me that coveted salon-like finish. That’s where this blowout cream from Oribe comes in. The cream protects strands against 450 degree temperatures and maneuvers curls and coils into sleek styles, sans fly-aways and frizz.” — Taylor Lane, Commerce Writer. Get it for $44 on Sephora!
Makeup
Haus Labs by Lady Gaga Medium Coverage Foundation: “When it comes to durable foundations, Haus Labs’ Triclone Skin Tech is it. I’m obsessed with how flawlessly it applies. Best of all? It doesn’t oxidize or dry to an awkward shade.” — Jasmine Washington, Commerce Writer. Get it for $49 on Sephora!
Merit Foundation and Concealer Stick: “After seeing celebrities like Martha Stewart and Nicole Richie use Merit’s Perfecting Foundation and Concealer Stick, I knew it was time to give this a go while it’s on sale! I love a multi-use product that streamlines my makeup routine, which is exactly what this hybrid product does. I’m a girl on-the-go, and products like this make my life so much easier. I’m looking forward to seeing what this can do for my makeup routine.” — Olivia Hanson, Commerce Writer. Get it for $38 on Sephora!
Ami Cole Hydrating Lip Oil: “I always find myself recommending this nourishing lip oil to friends and family members. Almost every time I post a selfie on social media, I get questions about what lippie I’m wearing — it’s almost always this oil.” — Jasmine Washington, Commerce Writer. Get it for $20 on Sephora!
Hourglass Ambient Lighting Edit Unlocked Palette: “My previous powder blush palette was discontinued (sad!), so I’ve been on the lookout for an upgrade. Hourglass is the only option I’ve found that mixes blush, bronzer and highlighter all in one palette, which was my favorite thing about my old one. It’s been hard for me to justify the $90, but thanks to the sale (and my Rouge membership), I’m excited to finally give it a go.” — Olivia Hanson, Commerce Writer. Get it for $90 on Sephora!
Valentino Colorgraph Waterproof Gel Eyeliner Pencil: “Valentino’s elegant, pigmented and smooth eyeliner has a brush on the other end to smoke out my look, giving options for both dramatic smokey eyes and minimalist looks alike.” — Erica Radol, Commerce Writer. Get it for $38 on Sephora!
Gisou Honey Infused Hydrating Lip Oil: “Every time I walk into Sephora, I notice the viral Gisou lip oil is always out of stock. Since I’m already shopping the sale online, I’m going to finally add it to my cart while it’s still available. I love how pigmented and nourishing the brand’s lip oils are and how they add a touch of shine to my lip looks.” — Olivia Hanson, Commerce Writer. Get it for $28 on Sephora!
Body Care
Josie Maran Whipped Argan Oil Body Butter: “I typically prefer body oils because I’ve found that many lotions feel too heavy on my skin and leave behind an annoying film. But this formula from Josie Maran has made me a total convert. The lightweight yet rich body butter is packed with skin-nourishing oils like argan and avocado that melt right into skin and lock in moisture. Every time I slather it on I get an instant mood boost from the scent, which reminds me of vanilla ice cream cones on hot summer days. I also appreciate the refillable jar — gotta love a sustainable moment!” — Mary Honkus, Commerce Writer. Get it for $36 on Sephora!
Touchland Hydrating Hand Sanitizer: “If you ask me, there’s no better time than a sale to stock up on essentials like hand sanitizer. I love this nourishing mist because it tackles germs without drying out my skin. Plus, it comes in a slew of uplifting scents, like spice pumpkin-tini and pure lavender” — Jasmine Washington, Commerce Writer. Get it for $10 on Sephora!
HigherDose Serotonin Soak: “The early sunsets take a major toll on my mental health every year, leaving me desperate for any sort of serotonin boost. I’m hoping that this bath soak will be the solution I’m after. A mix of magnesium Zechstein flakes and French green clay work to soothe sore muscles and cultivate a zen-like atmosphere to calm the mind and body. I’m also starting to train for my first half marathon, so this should help soothe my sore muscles!” — Mary Honkus, Commerce Writer. Get it for $25 on Sephora!
