October 2022

Our editors consider Sephora the mecca of all things beauty. For most of us, the first makeup product we ever bought for ourselves came from Sephora (and likely a holiday gift card). It holds a special place in our hearts, whether you live and breathe beauty or pop in once a year to restock on your faves. So when Sephora has a sale, our Slack channel blows up. We’re constantly talking favorites for different skin types, hair textures, and makeup styles, but all hell breaks loose when we can get those same gems at a lower price.

In honor of Sephora’s Holiday Savings Event, we gathered every single one of our favorite products, all in one place. The sale kicks off on October 28 when all Beauty Insiders get 30% off the Sephora Collection. On the same day, Rouge members get 20% off, and, following that, VIBs get 15% off starting November 1 and all Beauty Insiders can shop with 10% off from November 3 to 7 using the code SAVINGS—both in-store and online. 

 

Farmacy

Honey Halo Ultra Hydrating Ceramide Moisturizer

Two weeks ago (and naturally, as my previous moisturizer was on its last hurrah), my skin became desert-level dry out of absolutely nowhere. When it comes to moisturizers, I’m pretty noncommittal so this time, I reached for this Honey Halo moisturizer from Farmacy that claimed to visibly plump skin, improve the look of fine lines, and replenish dry, distressed skin. Within a few uses, I immediately understood the hype. It’s super rich, smells great, locks in moisture so well, and has become one of my favorite parts of my skincare routine.

Drunk Elephant

D-Bronzi™ Anti-Pollution Bronzing Drops with Peptides

These bronzing drops from Drunk Elephant aren’t necessarily new, but the TikTok girlies convinced me to pick them up on my last Sephora run. It only took one singular instance of me mixing a few of these drops into my moisturizer to be absolutely hooked. I’ve already lost my summer glow but this stuff has helped me to look bronzed (and alive) without the traditional self-tan scent which has made this product a non-negotiable part of my morning routine.

Moroccanoil

Treatment Light Hair Oil

One of my best friends convinced me to pick up the mini version of this hair oil in the Sephora checkout line when I was complaining that my hair felt dry, and I have never looked back. As someone who likes to really push the limits when it comes to getting a trim, I struggle with dry ends all the time, but I didn’t ever think to use a hair oil before to help with hyrdration? This product comes in an original version and a light, and since I have fine hair, I opt for the light. A little product goes a long way, it smells like heaven, and it really works to maintain hydration, especially between haircuts.

Sephora Collection

Brightening Eye Cream with Caffeine and Hyaluronic Acid

I've tried so many eye creams, and honestly, none of them have ever stood out to me. It wasn't until I started using this one from the Sephora Collection that I was actually impressed by an eye cream. It visibly brightens under the eyes instantly, and trust me, when I don't wear it, I can totally tell a difference. Plus, I love that it's under $20. I have already repurchased it once and will be buying it again during the sale!

bareMinerals

Original Liquid Mineral Foundation

I am not a huge foundation fan. Heck, I don’t really like wearing makeup often at all, but this foundation is an exception. It’s lightweight like a serum, so it is comfortable and breathable on the skin, making it way more comfortable to wear than most. I reach for it when I just want a little bit of coverage and when I'm going to an event because it’s easily buildable too. The best part? It comes right off at the end of the day without a problem (there’s nothing I hate more than scrubbing makeup off). I have repurchased this countless times and will continue to as my shade changes throughout the seasons.

— Hailey, Editorial Assistant

Rare Beauty

Soft Pinch Liquid Blush

If there’s one thing about me, it’s that I’m a die-hard liquid blush fan. I stopped using powder versions about six years ago and never looked back, and in that time it’s safe to say I’ve had my run of the mill with a ton of different brands. But, when I got a sample gift of this liquid gold at Sephora and used it literally one time, I immediately went back the next day and purchased a full size bottle. It’s buildable, easily blendable, leaves you glowy but not shiny, and is only $20 for an impressive amount of product. Selena Gomez killed it with this—I simply can’t rave enough.

— McKenna, Editorial Intern

Olaplex

Hair Repair Perfector No. 3

I’m always a bit skeptical of bougie hair products and convince myself that I can find dupes at Target that’ll do the exact same thing. But I have to say, this cult-favorite Olaplex product deserves the hype. I bleach my entire head of naturally dark brown hair to a platinum blonde every couple of months, so saying I experience dryness is an understatement. After using this God-send all over my roots and ends everyday for only a little over a week, I saw results right away and it made my hair feel as though I’d never dyed it once in my whole life. My hair was (and still is) as soft as a baby and breaks way less when I’m brushing and styling. 11/10 investment.

— McKenna, Editorial Intern

Haus Labs

Power Sculpt Velvet Bronzer

Cream products are obviously all the rage right now, but after seeing enough people on my TikTok singing this powder one’s praises, I decided to pick it up. This is the most beautiful, natural-looking powder bronzer I have ever used. It has single-handedly made me fall in love with powder bronzer again because it lasts on my face all day long, and simultaneously blurs in ways that creams just don’t. It definitely feels and looks like a gel on the skin once applied, and is an absolute 10/10 from me—especially with the amazing shade range.

— Maddie, Fashion Editor

Merit

The Minimalist Complexion Stick

This product deserves all the hype it gets and so much more. I’m a girl who doesn’t love full coverage, but do like my base to do something to even out my skin (what’s the point otherwise, really?). This is by far my favorite complexion product I’ve used in years, maybe ever. It is magic in that it somehow totally perfects my skin, but is also completely undetectable. You can use it as an all-over product or concealer, and I just put a few swipes around my face and blend it in everywhere for the perfect, everyday natural makeup.

— Maddie, Fashion Editor

Saie

Dew Liquid Blush

I was absolutely blown away by this blush after trying it earlier in the year and am so excited to get another color (or two) during the sale. It melts into the skin so nicely, stays put, and gives the perfect amount of color payoff. The warm rose color gives me a fresh-faced glow that I quite simply can’t get enough of.

— Garri, Managing Editor

Fresh Sugar

Lip Balm

This is my holy grail lip balm and if you peek at my Sephora account, you’ll see that I’ve been repurchasing it for at least half a decade. I’ve tried other lip balms along the way, but always return to this one. I use it as part of my nighttime skincare routine without fail, but also always have a tube in my purse and in my desk for moisturizing on the glow. Want soft, hydrated lips? This is the way.

— Garri, Managing Editor

Belief

Aqua Bomb Hydrating Toner

After spending years researching and testing out different routines, I’ve realized that the best thing I can do for my skin is keep it hydrated. I started out by making a hyaluronic acid the star of my skincare routine, and added in this toner as just a little cherry on top. However, the result of using both in my routine blew my mind. My skin is so plump and soft and the best part of all: I have way fewer breakouts.

— Garri, Managing Editor

Hyper Skin

Gentle Brightening Gel Cleanser

I recently started using this cleanser from Hyper Skin, which is one of my favorite beauty brands. All of their products (including this one) are formulated to even out skin complexion, increase brightness, and reduce dark spots, and I’ve noticed a visible difference in some dark spots I have from past breakouts since I began using this. I also love that it’s gentle and hydrating, but works for all skin types—because I find that my skin is consistently changing from dry to combination.

— Jess, Associate Commerce Editor

Rare Beauty

Positive Light Tinted Moisturizer

I don’t know if I’ve ever been so excited about a beauty launch outside of this one. You’ll never catch me reaching for a high-coverage foundation, so I’ve tried a lot of tinted moisturizers and skin tints through the years—and I can confidently say that after using this since it came out earlier this year, it’s one of my favorite face makeup products that I’ve tried. It provides the perfect amount of coverage and subtle glow, but also keeps my skin looking hydrated and fresh.
