Here’s some great news just for Beauty Insiders: the Sephora Savings Event 2023 has officially arrived. From now through November 6, the retailer is offering markdowns up to 20 percent off on best-sellers from buzzy, editor-loved brands, including Oribe, YSL Beauty, Dior, and more, with the code TIMETOSAVE at checkout.
Sephora Rouge (those spending 1,000 over a calendar year) can save 20 percent off starting today until the duration of the sale. VIB members (shoppers spending upwards of $350) gain 15 percent off access beginning on Halloween, as do general Beauty Insiders, who are eligible for up to 10 percent off on their product selects.
And as the cherry on top of already great savings, Insiders can also save 30 percent on Sephora Collection favorites (and even receive free shipping). Plus, there are a number of limited-edition skincare sets and makeup bundles available to shop for less that make excellent gifts. I’m personally eyeing a price drop on an Eau de Parfum trio from Gucci Beauty, along with one on Sol de Janeiro’s Brazilian Bum Bum Body Obsession set.
Here, we’ve pulled together a short list of the top beauty tools and products worth adding to your shopping cart. Since items at Sephora are known to quickly sell out, we recommend moving quickly to snatch up the products on your wishlist before they’re out of stock.

With so many great skincare markdowns up for grabs, we understand if you decide to upgrade your routine before anyone else’s. But on the off-chance that you’re feeling extra giving ahead of the holidays, allow us to suggest surprising the Sunday Riley superfan in your circle with their 11-piece Ultimate Vault Collection while it’s on sale, or Summer Fridays’ Mini Lip Butter Balm Set, which makes a great stocking stuffer.

Now is an ideal time to get your fall and winter fragrance rotation in order. We’ve spotted a number of coveted favorites on sale, like the 2023 Bazaar Fragrance Award-winning Kayali Yum Pistachio Gelato 33 EDP Intense Eau de Parfum, and top-rated Marc Jacobs Daisy Eau so Fresh Eau de Toilette.

From up to 20 percent off on Oribe’s Gold Lust Liter Shampoo and Conditioner Set, to styling and care essentials price drops from Olaplex and Bread Beauty Supply, consider your hair rotation elevated after shopping these limited-time deals. And don’t forget about snapping up a few salon-worthy tools for less: our editors are eyeing bundles from GHD and Drybar you won’t want to miss.
The best Sephora Savings Event makeup deals
Sifting through Sephora’s robust makeup offerings could take you hours, but there are a few staple products worthy of your coin that we’re giving gold stars. Start with celebrity makeup artist Mario Dedivanovic’s viral SurrealSkin Liquid Foundation, and fellow artist Patrick Ta’s highly-pigmented Major Headlines Double-Take Crème and Powder Blush Duo, for the perfect no makeup-makeup look.
The best Sephora Savings Event body care deals
Colder weather makes leaning into your body care routine even easier—as do rare discounts on beloved self-care items. Along with a markdown on Nécessaire’s lightweight yet extremely hydrating Body Serum, we also recommend rounding out your wellness routine with a discount on a typically pricey infrared sauna blanket from HigherDose while it’s on sale.
