If you’re a loyal (or even occasional) Sephora shopper, you probably already know that its annual Spring Savings Event is now open for every VIB member to shop. If you don’t, right now, anyone who signs up for Sephora’s Beauty Insider Program can score 20 percent off sitewide with the code SAVEMORE—and earn redeemable points with every purchase. The Sephora Savings Event runs through April 14, which means there’s still more time to sign up and take advantage of rare savings on premium and luxury beauty brands.
Frankly, Sephora’s Savings Event (formerly known as the VIB Sale) couldn’t come at a better time. With President Trump’s “Liberation Day” tariffs now in effect, beauty product prices—especially for Asian brands—are expected to soar, so it’s a good time to stock up on your favorite go-items and treat yourself to a few things on your wish list before prices go back to normal on April 15.
And, potential tariff-induced price spikes aside, Sphora rarely offers sales, so you don’t want to miss out on this one either way. In fact, unlike many beauty retailers that offer sales for virtually every holiday, Sephora has only had two sales a year. From wellness items like infrared sauna blankets by HigherDOSE to pore-blurring blushes from Tower 28 and Shani Darden’s tried-and-true Retinol Reform Serum, Sephora’s Savings Event is not one to sit out.
Violette_fr Bisou Balm Sheer Matte LipstickDown From $29Violette_fr’s Bisou Balm Sheer Matte Lipstick is probably the most innovative lip formula I’ve ever tried. I am a loyal matte lip lover, but this formula delivers a buildable color payoff while still somehow being slightly sheer (hence the name). Plus, the transfer-proof formula imparts a velvet-matte (and non-drying) finish that stays put for hours. Buy At Sephora
HigherDOSE Infrared Sauna BlanketDown From $699I could wax poetic about this compact infrared sauna blanket for days. It’s expensive but the best wellness investment I’ve ever made. You can burn up to 600 calories per hour by just lying down in the sleeping bag-like device, and it helps sweat out toxins without having to strip down in public at the gym or fitness studio. It is beyond worth every penny—especially when it’s on sale. Buy At Sephora

Shark HD430 FlexStyle Air Styling & Drying SystemDown From $300While there are a few legitimate dupes for the coveted Dyson Airwrap now, is the best on the market. While it’s less expensive than the Dyson, it’s still pricey, so grab it while it’s on rare sale.Buy At Sephora

Innbeauty Project Extreme Cream Eye Firming & Contouring Refillable Eye CreamDown From $48This affordable eye cream performs just as well—if not better—than its $200 counterparts. Infused with biomimetic peptides and pro-retinol, this lifting and crepe-reducing eye cream is a multi-tasking beauty hero. See At Sephora
Ilia Limitless Lash Lengthening Clean MascaraDown From $29While I usually opt for drugstore mascaras, this is one of the few prestige formulas worth splurging for. The clean formula lengthens like a dream and doesn’t clump, flake, or transfer. Buy At Sephora
MARA Pearl Peptide Glaze Hydrating & Brightening Facial EssenceDown From $54Mara has swiftly become one of my top favorite skincare brands over the last year, and its new Pearl Peptide Glaze Hydrating & Brightening Facial Essence is another winner. The glow-getting all-in-one essence hydrates, plumps, and brightens the skin instantly while firming and smoothing the skin with regular use. This formula sold out just two weeks after launching on Sephora and was only recently restocked, so don’t wait to get your hands on it. Buy At Sephora

Tower 28 Beauty GetSet Blur + Set Matte Powder BlushDown From $22Tower 28’s newly launched Beauty GetSet Blur + Set Matte Powder Blush is one of my favorite powder blush formulas of all time. The pore-blurring formula delivers solid color payoff and mega-lasting power without looking chalky or overly matte. Plus, every single universally flattering hue in the drop is utterly gorgeous, but my favorite is ‘Culver Crush,’ a pinky-peach.
Buy At Sephora
Shani Darden Skin Care Retinol Reform Treatment SerumDown From $89As much as I try to force it, my skin hates most retinoids, but celebrity esthetician Shani Darden’s Retinol Reform Serum is one of the few formulas it not only tolerates but actually *likes.* The cult-favorite retinol serum contains encapsulated retinol for gentle regeneration and AHA to gradually exfoliate the skin and boost cell turnover. Most importantly, it doesn’t irritate my skin or cause the dreaded purge period that similar formulations do. Buy At Sephora
Drunk Elephant Bora Barrier Rich Repair CreamDown From $69As a longtime loyalist to Drunk Elephant’s Protini Polypeptide Firming Moisturizer, I was thrilled when the brand dropped a richer, more emollient, barrier-repairing cream for dry skin, post-retinoid irritation, and any time my skin needs a little extra TLC—which is, apparently, often since I’ve been using this every day since it arrived in the mail.Buy At Sephora

Shark Beauty CryoGlow Cooling + LED Face MaskDown From $349I’ve tried over a dozen LED face masks over the years, and Shark Beauty’s new CryoGlow Cooling + LED Face Mask is the coolest one to date. This high-tech face mask harnesses the anti-aging and acne-fighting superpowered of LED light therapy (it’s equipped with red, blue, and deep infrared light) but is also designed with InstaChill technology that delivers Cryo-inspired integrated cooling to de-puff and tighten the skin in just a few minutes. It is worth the hype and every penny—especially when it’s on sale. Buy At Sephora

REFY Brow Sculpt Shape and Hold Gel With Lamination EffectDown From $24I have tried many brow products to achieve the laminated effect I love (I know that thin brows are back, but I suffered the consequences of over-plucking in the ’00s for a decade afterward, so I will not be revisiting this trend). Even though I have found some that I like, I always come back to the REFY Brow Sculpt Shape and Hold Gel. While it can leave a slight white cast effect if you use too much formula, it’s the only gel that gives you all-day hold and complete shaping control. I can’t live without this stuff, so I will be stocking up on a few tubes.Buy At Sephora

Amika Smooth Over Frizz-Fighting Hair TreatmentDown From $32With summer on the horizon, I’m looking forward to extra-long days and the nostalgic, carefree vibes that come hand-in-hand with my favorite season. What I’m not looking for, however, is June and July’s scorching temperatures and sky-high humidity levels. Fortunately, Amika is on frizz patrol this season (and the next one) with its Smooth Over Frizz-Fighting Hair Treatment. Frizzy strands don’t stand a chance against this 60-second in-shower rinse. I love that this product doesn’t leave a greasy residue, and even though you rinse it out, it’s still working its magic.Buy At Sephora
Lawless Forget the Filler Lip-Plumping Tinted Lip BalmDown From $26This clean line-filling and volume-boosting tinted lip balm is all I’ve been wearing on my lips for the past month. If you’ve been looking for a sign to ditch your lackluster lip balm for a new formula that actually hydrates for hours while giving a boost of volume—and without the sting—consider your search over.Buy At Sephora

Ellis Brooklyn Super Amber Eau de ParfumDown From $110If you’re in the market for new fragrance, Sephora’s spring sale is a great time to score a new signature scent without paying full price. Ellis Brooklyn has launched several new fragrances since Super Amber, but this warm, sexy, and not-too-sweet scent will always be my favorite. It’s rich and sultry without being overpowering, and the wear time is a solid eight hours. If you’re looking for an elevated, more grown-up alternative to your go-to vanilla scent (and are OK with a little spice), I couldn’t reccomend Super Amber more.Buy At Sephora

Dieux Air Angel Collagen & Peptide Hydrating Gel CreamDown From $44This cult-favorite “cool girl” brand honestly lives up to the hype—but it’s not just the clever names and cute packaging I’m impressed with. I recently got to try a sample of Dieux’s Air Angel Collagen & Peptide Hydrating Gel Cream, and I’m convinced the lightweight moisturizer is the perfect festival and hot-weather-friendly formula for us oily and combination skin girlies. Honestly, it’s even hydrating enough for dry skin—it just doesn’t leave behind a greasy residue or oily film. It also plays well with foundation, almost doubling as a primer. If you’ve been curious about the brand, grab this new moisturizer and find out why everyone is obsessed with it for yourself.Buy At Sephora
