Products you buy through our links may earn us a commission. Oh, and if something's out of stock, oops, it was there (and all prices were accurate) at time of publication.

The Sephora Savings Event is on, so now's the time to take stock of what's in your makeup bag (and probably throw away that crusty mascara). Rouge members, the sale is open to you now, and starting November 5, VIB and Insiders can shop until November 11. All tiers use code SAVINGS at checkout. Time to transition those skincare routines and create your holiday beauty looks.

moisturizer
Sephora

A luxurious moisturizer that’s worth every penny…

The original Augustinus Bader moisturizer is beloved by celebrities and facialists alike, since it deeply hydrates, promotes cell turnover, and seemingly fills in fine lines overnight. We’ve tried it and can confirm our skin was plumper after just a few uses. It’s a splurge, so this is a smart time to buy it. ($96+, Sephora)

Buy it
armani-concealer
Sephora

The concealer all your favorite influencers use…

The Armani Luminous Silk Concealer might be an investment, but there’s a reason it’s viral on TikTok. It blends like a dream, and since it’s buildable, you can also use it as a light-coverage foundation. It blurs our dark circles like none other. We love the shade range it comes in, too. ($42, Sephora)

Buy it
my-topicals
Topicals

A high-shine lip gloss that doubles as an overnight mask…

Why choose when you can have both? This glossy lip duo is chock-full of peptides and a tri-ceramide complex that will keep your lips shiny and ultra hydrated. The vegan formula helps build a protective barrier over time so you can say “bye” to dry, chapped lips for good. Oh, and you can get 20% off for a limited time while supplies last. Happy shopping. ($26, Sephora)*

buffing-bar
Sephora

A buffing bar that’s great for keratosis pilaris…

Keratosis pilaris (the little bumps you can get on your arms and thighs) can be difficult to get rid of, but this buffing bar does the trick. When you get it wet, it becomes slightly rough like a nail file, but doesn’t hurt as you smooth your skin. You’ll get two, and they last forever. ($28/2-pack, Sephora)

Buy it
shampoo
Sephora

A cleansing shampoo from Jen Atkin, the hair genius…

If you frequently use dry shampoo to stretch your blowout life between washes, you’ll want to use a cleansing shampoo at least once a week to remove buildup and maintain a healthy scalp. This one from celebrity hair stylist Jen Atkin’s brand is apple cider vinegar-based, but, get this, smells absolutely heavenly. Keratin adds a strengthening boost. ($14+, Sephora)

Buy it
dyson
Sephora

The Dyson Airwrap with improved attachments…

If there was ever a time to splurge on the Airwrap, it’s now. This comes with six attachments — including a new smoothing dryer — which offers even more styling versatility. We’ve tried it, and it’s truly the best our hair has ever looked outside of a salon. ($599, Sephora)

Buy it
cream-blush
Sephora

A mini cream blush that’s foolproof to apply…

Martha here. Blush scared me for a long time. I have naturally rosy cheeks, and I didn’t want to end up looking like Strawberry Shortcake (no shade) every time I left the house. This cream blush is the perfect solution. It applies easily with one swipe, and there’s no danger of applying too much. Both rose colors look natural, and I love that it hydrates my cheeks, too. ($26, Sephora)

Buy it
dieux-moisturizer
Sephora

A creamy moisturizer by a trusted brand…

Dieux is another brand we swear by, and Instant Angel is the hero in the lineup. It has a thicker consistency that feels super healing and hydrating on compromised skin, but it doesn't feel greasy in the slightest. When we wear it overnight, our skin looks visibly plumper when we wake up. ($45, Sephora)

Buy it
concealer-brush
Sephora

A concealer brush we didn’t know we needed…

We’d seen the hype around this concealer brush and decided to give it a try, and now we can’t apply concealer any other way. The half-moon shape seamlessly blends in the creases of your under-eyes. Plus, the bristles are soft and handle liquid concealer like a pro. We swear our makeup looks airbrushed when we use this. ($39, Sephora)

Buy it
nars-concealer
Sephora

The Nars concealer we’ve been using forever…

If we’re ever stranded on a desert island, please make sure we have our Nars Radiant Creamy Concealer with us. It’s great for concealing dark circles, color-correcting redness, and even highlighting the high points of your face. It blends in smoothly, leaves a radiant finish, and has never once left us flaky. ($15+, Sephora)

Buy it
perfume
Sephora

A perfume that smells good on everyone…

Hi, it's Martha again. I was recently in a wedding, and I forgot to bring my perfume with me for a last-minute touch-up before I walked down the aisle. One of the other bridesmaids handed me this, and I was delighted to find that the scent didn’t overwhelm me like other perfumes can — in fact, it smelled exactly like me, only better. You can guess how fast I added this to my cart. ($32+, Sephora)

Buy it
face-mask
Sephora

The face mask we can’t live without…

Dr. Jart has become a household name for us because this mask actually works. The ampoule is packed with hyaluronic acid, and the rubbery top layer has a cooling effect. When we peel it off, our skin is visibly soothed and plump every time. These are pricey, so we stock up during the sale. ($16, Sephora)
