It’s that time of year again! And I’m not just talking about the sunnier skies and warmer weather—the Sephora Spring Savings Event is officially back. If you’re anything like me, the semi-annual sale is like your shopping Superbowl.

The total cost of that wishlist quickly adds up, so being able to take advantage of a sitewide discount always helps me feel a little bit less guilty about the splurge.
If you need a refresher on the details of the major beauty sale, I’m explaining everything you need to know below, including the dates, tier system, discounts, and best deals to shop. Happy saving!

What are the best Sephora Spring Savings Event deals?
If you need some inspiration as you fill your cart, I’m sharing my favorite spring and summer beauty picks. Some of the items I’m eyeing include the Elemis Pro-Collagen Makeup Melting Cleansing Balm (which I always make sure I’m stocked up on), Nécessaire’s The Body Lotion for super soft skin, the Ouai Detox Shampoo I’ve been using for years to cleanse my oily hair, and Ole Henriksen’s Pout Preserve Hydrating Peptide Lip Treatment, which I can’t live without. There’s something for everyone in Sephora’s sale, so browse through the best skincare, makeup, haircare, and Sephora Collection deals below—and don’t forget to use the code YAYSAVE at checkout.
Patrick Ta Major Headlines Double-Take Crème & Powder Blush Duo
This viral blush from Patrick Ta is truly worth the hype—the shade range, formula, and performance are outstanding. Each of the stunning options features a cream and powder formula that can be worn alone or layered for a dimensional and long-lasting look. Whether you want a subtle flush or a fun pop of color for spring, you’re bound to find a shade (or several) in the range that catches your eye.
Dyson Airwrap Multi-Styler Complete Long
If you’re looking for a do-it-all hair styling tool, this is the one for you. The Dyson Airwrap won best overall in our test of the best hot air brushes, and it’s my personal favorite, too. I can achieve a voluminous blowout, glamorous waves, and a straight style with it, and I love that the multiple attachments are intuitive to use. It’s undeniably pricey, but if you style your hair consistently, it’s worth the investment—especially while it’s rarely discounted.
Charlotte Tilbury Magic Water Cream Refillable Gel Moisturizer
While you can absolutely get a quality moisturizer at an affordable price, I believe this water cream from Charlotte Tilbury is worth splurging on. There’s something about the texture that feels luxurious and perfect for the warmer weather; the gel formula is lightweight and non-greasy, but it deeply moisturizes skin and leaves it with a gorgeous glow. It’s the perfect balance for my combination skin, and I think it’s a great option for people with various skin types.
Tom Ford Lost Cherry Eau de Parfum
Testers and I agree; this luxury perfume from Tom Ford is heavenly. It features a sultry black cherry note at the heart of the fragrance and is complemented by notes of tonka bean and almond for a warm and sweet touch, as well as Turkish rose and jasmine sambac for a subtle floral finish. It’s a fantastic day-to-night fragrance for year-round wear.
Makeup By Mario Master Mattes Eyeshadow Palette: The Neutrals
Cool and neutral-toned makeup is making a serious comeback after years of warm tones being favored by the masses, and this new eyeshadow palette from Makeup By Mario is the color palette of my dreams. It features cool and neutral browns and taupes with gray and mauve shades sprinkled in between. If you sport a matte, neutral eyeshadow look regularly, I can’t recommend adding this palette to your collection enough.
Merit Signature Lip Lightweight Matte Lipstick
Merit knows a thing or two about creating stunning lipsticks—its original satin lipstick is a staple in my collection. So when the brand released this matte formula, I was skeptical about how it would compare. Let’s just say I was blown away. The texture is soft and weightless on the lips, the pigmentation is rich and even, and the color selection is elevated but totally wearable. The shade Sunday is a beautiful warm pink that’s perfect for spring.
Elemis Pro-Collagen Makeup Melting Cleansing Balm
This cleansing balm is far from new—it’s been a fan-favorite for years—but it’s now finally available at Sephora along with other favorites from luxury skincare brand Elemis. It has a luscious texture that feels cushiony and comforting on the skin, and it works to melt away makeup with no scrubbing required.

Wearing SPF is important year-round, but it’s even more essential when the UV index starts to rise. The new tinted mineral SPF from InnBeauty Project has been my go-to lately—it’s lightweight, glowy, and most importantly, doesn’t break me out. After sunscreen, pop on a hydrating lip balm, like the Ole Henriksen Pout Preserve Treatment, and you’re good to go.

The Sephora Savings Event is a semi-annual sale that’s exclusive to Beauty Insiders—a free membership program that anyone can sign up for. It’s the rare occasion that Sephora discounts everything on the site—yes, everything—from skincare to makeup to hair tools. The discount you get depends on your Beauty Insider status, which is determined by how much money you spend each year at the retailer. If you’re unsure of your status, you can check it by logging into your Sephora account. Rouge members get 20% off sitewide, VIB members get 15% off, and Insiders get 10% off. Plus, no matter your status, everyone will be able to shop Sephora Collection items at 30% off. Use the code YAYSAVE at checkout to redeem your discount.
When is the Sephora sale?
The dates that you can shop the sale also depend on your Beauty Insider status. Rouge members always get first access to shop starting April 5, while VIBs and Insiders can first access the savings on April 9. Once you have access, you can apply the discount as many times as you’d like. The Sephora Collection is 30% off for all members through April 15—aka, the entirety of the sale. The sale ends on April 15 at 11:59pm PT.
