The Sephora Holiday Savings Event is here and it comes at the most opportune time with winter quickly approaching! I love using it as an opportunity to get ahead on gift shopping – and to stock up on my winter beauty necessities since Sephora rarely has sales! The event actually kicked off last week and is currently opened to Rouge members who can get 20% off through 11/7. VIB members receive 15% off starting tomorrow (11/1) and Insider members can access the sale on 11/3 for 10% off. Just enter the code: SAVINGS when you check out. I know it’s easy to go overboard on beauty, especially when shopping at Sephora, so I’m keeping my list super concise for you all. Scroll on to see what I’ve already ordered and what I want to pick up.

The Essentials

There are some things I’m bound to run out of, so I always stock up on those first. For instance, this Armani Beauty foundation and concealer – both are my go-to for naturally flawless skin. I also like to keep back ups of the Creme de la Mer on hand because winter is brutal on my skin up here! It’s the only moisturizer that keeps dry skin at bay. As far as newer products go, I’ve been using Gucci’s blush and bronzer – and am utterly impressed. The formulas are silky smooth, buildable, and insanely luxurious!

Haircare Heroes

Haircare products haven’t really changed much for me over the years. I’m still loyal to this shampoo and conditioner, applying the Olaplex Repair Perfector weekly. You’ll love the trio if you color and heat style your hair regularly.

Products I Want to try

The Sephora Holiday Savings Event is also the time to snag any new products you’ve been eyeing. For me, that’s the Merit Bronzing Stick, Westman Atelier Lipgloss, and Dior Lip Glow Oil. I’ve heard nothing but raving reviews and have been dying to try them all.

Holiday Gifts…

Last but not least, be sure to scope out my gift picks below! I love giving beauty sets and products as gifts because they’re luxurious – but generally affordable. I picked out a range of items worth splurging on as well as options under $25 that would be fun stocking stuffers.
