The Sephora Savings Event Is Happening Now, Here’s What to Shop

Prep your skin with this toner, and your makeup will apply like a dream. It’s made with ceramides, peptides, and white leaf tea, so it’s just as soothing as it is hydrating. If you love products that make your skin feel like it just drank a tall glass of water, you need this. ($12+)

This cleanser by one of our favorite skincare brands makes washing your face feel like less of a chore. It has glycerin for hydration and a cleansing complex that won’t strip your skin. One of our editors with very sensitive skin loves the fragrance-free version. ($34)

Don’t pick your skin — let this mask do the work for you. Pink clay pulls out impurities, while antioxidants from grapes control sebum production to prevent blackheads. Plus, it only takes 10 minutes and is great to use after long travel days. ($22)

If you look up “purchases that seem frivolous but are actually necessary” in the dictionary, you’ll find these clips. I’m a hair first, makeup second girl, so I can’t stand my freshly done hair getting in my face while I’m applying things. These clips have solved that for me. They don’t leave one crease when you take them out, and they’re also so stinking cute. ($34)

I tested Merit Beauty products and the lip oil overwhelmingly came out on top. It feels so lightweight and hydrating on your lips, no matter how many times you apply it. Now that they’ve released new shimmery versions, I’m running to grab the baby pink Pointelle color to use all spring and summer. ($24)

Who doesn’t love a skincare/makeup combo? This blush is a recent favorite of one of our editors, who says, “These Glow Recipe Dew Drops impart the prettiest, lit-from-within flush with a dewy (but not sparkly) finish.” The niacinamide in them will make your skin smoother, too. ($25)

Supergoop’s Glowscreen won Allure’s Best of Beauty Award in 2020 for good reason. The original is slightly tinted with a pearlescent finish that’s perfect for minimal makeup days, or as a primer under your foundation — and now there are also three new shades. The SPF 40 protects your skin, while the hyaluronic acid and niacinamide nourish and hydrate. ($22+)

If your under-eye concealer is always caking up, creasing, or flaking off, you might need a new way to apply it. This concealer brush, with its angled tip and soft bristles, will help. It reaches every corner and absorbs any excess product so you have a flawless application every time. ($18)

We’re talking no flakes, no smudging, for real. That’s because with a tubing mascara, your lashes are coated with a hollow tube of volumizing product, so there’s nothing to clump. (Don’t worry, it still comes off easily with warm water.) ($26)

If you’re tired of transferring your lip liner from one bag to another, this set of Charlotte Tilbury liners is perfect for you. It comes with the colors Pillow Talk, Pillow Talk Medium, and Iconic Nude — aka some of the most universally flattering shades around. ($35)

The key to a sleek slick-back is using a boar bristle hair brush to tame flyaways. This one just happens to be cuter than most. It’s also mini, so you can use it on-the-go. The matching claw clip couldn’t hurt. ($42)

As the winter layers are shed, we like to ensure all our skin (not just our face) is looking its best. This scrub has AHAs to gently resurface and take care of keratosis pilaris, strawberry skin, and ingrown hairs. It’s safe for sensitive skin and also comes in a peach scent. ($12+)

This is made with hypochlorous acid — which soothes, softens, and reinforces the barrier of skin prone to breakouts, eczema, and rosacea — but without fragrance, oil, and alcohol. Use it as a toner before applying serums, or throughout the day for hydration. Use it after a workout or on a plane to prevent breakouts before they happen. ($12)

We’re seeing a lot of our favorite beauty influencers using this daily sunscreen by Kiehl’s. The magic is that it’s actually a dark spot corrector. So while it’s protecting your skin with SPF 30, it’s also helping with discoloration and texture. Who doesn’t love a two-in-one product? ($52)

If there was ever a time to splurge on the Airwrap, it’s now. This new version has Bluetooth technology, which connects to the app on your phone for styling at the push of a button. It’ll even save your personalized routine, so mornings can be that much easier. ($599)

No introduction necessary. Skimm HQr’s love this cult-famous Laneige lip mask. Put it on right before bed and wake up to smooth, supple lips in the morning — or wear it during the day for a glossy look. It also comes in a tube version to stash in your bag. ($24)

We’ve raved about Sofie Pavitt’s skincare line before, so when this moisturizer came out, we were excited to try it. And now we have a new rave review. It’s thick but not overwhelmingly so, even for oily, acne-prone skin, and the omega fatty acids leave our skin feeling plump and hydrated. ($64)

Your trusty Summer Fridays Jet Lag Mask now comes in an eye patch version. These have the same hydrating ingredients like glycerin, hyaluronic acid, and niacinamide, but also some caffeine to depuff your under-eyes. Pack them in your carry-on bag to arrive at your destination looking refreshed. ($24)
