Feel the Buzz for Yourself - These Products Are The Real Deal And Well Worth The Investment

It's Not A Drill: Sephora Has Everything On Sale


Source: Tara Leydon

Sephora is regarded as the center of the beauty universe. For the most of us, Sephora was where we first purchased makeup for ourselves (and likely a holiday gift card). Whether you live and breathe beauty or only stop by once a year to replenish on your favorites, it occupies a special place in our hearts. Therefore, our Slack channel goes crazy whenever Sephora has a deal. We frequently discuss our go-to products for various complexion tones, hair textures, and makeup looks, but when we discover cheaper alternatives, chaos ensues.

Gathered here are some of the Beauty Insiders' favorite products in honor of Sephora's holiday savings event. On October 28, all Beauty Insiders receive a 30% discount on the Sephora Collection, kicking off the sale. Rouge members receive a 20% discount on the same day, VIBs receive a 15% discount beginning November 1, and all Beauty Insiders receive a 10% discount from November 3 to November 7 by using the code SAVINGS both in-person and online.

FARMACY
Honey Halo Ultra Hydrating Ceramide Moisturizer
SHOP IT NOW

"My skin suddenly started to become desert-level dry two weeks ago (and naturally, because my old moisturizer was nearing the end of its useful life). I tend to be quite apathetic when it comes to moisturizers, so this time I chose this Farmacy Honey Halo moisturizer that promised to nourish dry, dehydrated face and significantly plump skin while also reducing the appearance of fine wrinkles. After a few usage, I realized what all the fuss was about. It has become one of my favorite components of my skincare routine because it is so rich, smells fantastic, and seals in moisture so effectively."

DRUNK ELEPHANT
D-Bronzi™ Anti-Pollution Bronzing Drops with Peptides
SHOP IT NOW

"These Drunk Elephant bronzing drops aren't exactly new, but the TikTok girls persuaded me to buy them on my most recent Sephora trip. I only needed to add a few of these drops to my moisturizer once for me to become completely addicted. Despite the fact that I've already lost my summer glow, this product has helped me to look bronzed (and alive) without the typical self-tan aroma, making it a necessary component of my morning routine."

MOROCCANOIL
Treatment Light Hair Oil
SHOP IT NOW

"When I complained that my hair felt dry, one of my closest friends persuaded me to buy the tiny bottle of this hair oil in the Sephora checkout line. Since then, I have never looked back. I constantly suffer with dry ends since I like to really push the envelope when it comes to getting my hair cut, but why haven't I ever considered using a hair oil to help with hydration? Since I have fine hair, I choose the light version of this product instead of the original. It smells delicious, goes a long way, and is extremely effective at keeping skin hydrated, especially in between haircuts."

SEPHORA COLLECTION
Brightening Eye Cream with Caffeine and Hyaluronic Acid
SHOP IT NOW

"I've tried a ton of different eye creams, but none of them have ever really stuck out to me. I wasn't genuinely impressed by an eye cream until I began using this one from the Sephora Collection. It instantly brightens the area beneath the eyes, and believe me, I can definitely feel a difference when I don't wear it. I also like that it costs less than $20. I've already bought it again, and I'll do it again while it's on sale!"

- Hailey, Beauty Insider

BAREMINERALS
Original Liquid Mineral Foundation
SHOP IT NOW

"I'm not a big lover of foundation. I don't even like to apply makeup very often, but this foundation is an exception. It is far more pleasant to wear than most because it is lightweight like a serum and feels good against the skin. Because it is simple to construct, I use it when I only need a little covering and while I'm attending an event. What's best? When the day is through, it easily takes off without any issues (removing makeup is the one thing I detest the most). I've bought this several times before and will do so again as my skin tone changes with the seasons."

RARE BEAUTY
Soft Pinch Liquid Blush
SHOP IT NOW

"If there's one thing people should know about me, it's that I'm a huge admirer of liquid blush. It's safe to say that in the six years after I quit using powder versions, I have used a wide variety of brands and have never looked back. But after using this liquid gold literally just once after receiving a sample of it as a gift from Sephora, I went back the following day and bought a full-size bottle. It leaves you glowing but not shiny, blends effortlessly, and costs about $20 for an astonishing amount of stuff. I can't praise about Selena Gomez's work enough."

- McKenna, Beauty Insider

OLAPLEX
Hair Repair Perfector No. 3
SHOP IT NOW

"I tend to be a little dubious of high-end hair products and convince myself that I can buy knockoffs at Target that will work just as well. But I have to admit, the buzz around this cult-favorite Olaplex product is well-deserved. It would be an understatement to say that my naturally dark brown hair is dry because I bleach it entirely platinum blonde every few months. I saw improvements right away and my hair felt as if I had never dyed it in my life after using this for just a little over a week. My hair breaks far less when I brush and style it and was (and still is) as soft as a baby. A 10/10 investment."

- McKenna, Beauty Insider

HAUS LABS
Power Sculpt Velvet Bronzer
SHOP IT NOW

"Of course, cream products are currently popular, but after seeing enough users on my TikTok praising this powder product, I made the decision to purchase it. The most gorgeous, realistic-looking powder bronzer I've ever used is this one. Because it stays on my face all day and blurs in a way that cream bronzers simply don't, it has single-handedly made me fall back in love with powder bronzer. Once applied, it clearly has the feel and appearance of a gel, and I give it a perfect 10/10, especially considering the incredible shade selection."

MERIT
The Minimalist Complexion Stick
SHOP IT NOW

"This product is deserving of all the praise it has received and even more. Although I don't enjoy full coverage, I do prefer my base to balance out my skin tone since otherwise, what's the point? I'm a lady who doesn't adore full coverage. This is by far my favorite skin care item I've ever used, if not ever. It is magical in that it completely enhances the appearance of my skin while remaining entirely unnoticeable. You can apply a few swipes across your face and blend it in all over for the ideal, everyday natural makeup. You can use it as a concealer or an all-over product."

- Maddie, Beauty Insider

SAIE
Dew Liquid Blush
SHOP IT NOW

"I tried this blush earlier this year and was really taken away by it. I can't wait to purchase another shade (or two) during the sale. It blends in so well, adheres, and provides the ideal amount of color payoff. I simply can't get enough of the radiant glow that the warm rose color provides me."

- Garri, Beauty Insider

FRESH SUGAR
Lip Balm
SHOP IT NOW

"If you look at my Sephora account, you'll notice that I've been repurchasing this lip balm for at least five years. It is my holy grail product. Along the road, I've tried a few different lip balms, but I always come back to this one. I always use it as part of my bedtime skincare routine, and I also keep a tube in my desk and purse for spritzing on the glow. Want moisturized, soft lips? Here's the process."

- Garri, Beauty Insider

BELIF
Aqua Bomb Hydrating Toner
SHOP IT NOW

"I've learned that the best thing I can do for my skin is to keep it hydrated after years of research and experimentation. I began by making hyaluronic acid the centerpiece of my skincare regimen and then included this toner as the last flourish. However, the outcome of incorporating both within my program astounded me. The nicest part of all: I have far fewer breakouts. My skin feels incredibly soft and supple."

- Garri, Beauty Insider

HYPER SKIN
Gentle Brightening Gel Cleanser
SHOP IT NOW

"One of my favorite cosmetics companies, Hyper Skin, whose cleanser I've recently started using. Since I started using this, I've noticed a noticeable difference in certain dark spots I have from previous breakouts. All of their products, including this one, are designed to even out skin color, increase brightness, and minimize dark spots. Because I notice that my skin is constantly shifting from dry to combination, I also appreciate that it's soothing and moisturizing but suitable for all skin types."

- Jess, Beauty Insider

RARE BEAUTY
Positive Light Tinted Moisturizer
SHOP IT NOW

"I don't think I've ever been this thrilled about a beauty launch before. I've tried a lot of tinted moisturizers and skin tints over the years because you'll never catch me going for a high-coverage foundation. I can say with certainty that after using this since it launched earlier this year, it's one of my favorite face makeup items that I've tried. It keeps my skin appearing nourished and youthful while also giving the ideal amount of coverage and a soft glow."
