Sephora’s Biggest Semi-Annual Sale Is Finally Here

Plus, all Sephora Collection products are 30 percent off between November 5 and 15 for Beauty Insiders only — no code required. Though the tiered savings can’t be stacked (as in, you can’t combine them to get a super-steep discount on Sephora Collection products), the offer may be used in the same transaction as the Holiday Savings Event sale.

Hang tight, because there are a few more important details and exceptions to keep in mind. Each customer can redeem their discount as many times as they’d like during their allotted tier-level time period, so you can spread out your shopping and buy whatever catches your eye as you browse Sephora’s vast inventory. There’s no minimum purchase needed, either.

However, for U.S. and Canada-based customers, The Ordinary and MAC Viva Glam products are excluded from the discount. Also, there’s a limit of one Dyson item, five Morphe products, and three Tarte Shape Tape Concealers allowed per transaction. 

As always, you can’t combine this offer with any others. And finally, Instacart, Instagram shopping, in-store services, previous purchases, and purchases of gift cards, gift wrapping, packaging, packaging, taxes, and shipping and handling charges also do not apply. 

Now that we’ve got all of the basics down, here are some of our favorite picks that we’ll be eyeing during the sale:

Tweak your skin-care routine for fall and winter concerns (think dryness, flaking, and chapped lips) with the help of new and classic products. Whether it’s trying out a buzzy exfoliator that’ll deep-clean your pores or testing an Allure Best of Beauty-winning face mask, Sephora’s got you covered.

Paula’s Choice Skin Perfecting 2% BHA Liquid Exfoliant

Kiehl’s Rare Earth Deep Pore Cleansing Masque

Caudalie Vinoperfect Brightening Solution Set

Hyper Skin Brightening Dark Spot Vitamin C Serum

For a deeper post-wash cleanse, swipe on a dollop of the Paula’s Choice Skin Perfecting 2% BHA Liquid Exfoliant. Its salicylic acid-based formula penetrates deep into pores, getting rid of dirt, excess oil, and acne-causing bacteria in the process. Though sensitive skin types may want to use a less intensive formula, this treatment is great for mattifying oily complexions and removing blemish-inducing buildup on pimple-prone skin.

There are tons of face masks on the market, but Kiehl’s Best of Beauty-winning Rare Earth Deep Pore Cleansing Masque is an all-time favorite among Allure staffers. The main ingredient in this mask is white clay, which absorbs excess sebum while working to break down blackhead-forming buildup. If redness and sensitivity are also concerns, Kiehl’s beloved mask is also infused with soothing aloe to calm and comfort.
