The day the Sephora-obsessed among us is finally here—the Sephora Savings Event has officially kicked off for Rouge members, with VIB and Insider members to follow on April 14. (The code SPRINGSALE applies the tiered discount according to your Sephora status.) Disclaimer: I’m not a beauty editor—I’m a fashion editor who happens to know a lot about beauty products, and checks Sephora’s Just Dropped section on a daily basis. As a Rouge member myself, I’m placing my first (of several, undoubtedly) order today, and have been preparing my cart for weeks accordingly.
I’m using the Sephora sale as an opportunity to try out new product releases I’ve been itching to get my hands on, as well as to restock some of my favorites that are running low. And in case you don’t know where to start or are just curious about what I’m considering placing orders for, I’ve rounded up my top picks, separated into makeup, skincare, and haircare products. As an added bonus, these buzzy, highly rated finds are also quite aesthetically pleasing, which is something this Sephora-obsessed fashion editor prioritizes. If it doesn’t look good in my bathroom or bag, I don’t want it.
With that, keep scrolling to find out what I’m shopping from the Sephora Savings Event, and add those that pique your interest to your cart as well, if you’re so inclined.
Gucci
Oil-In-Water Tint Hydrating Lip Stain
Aside from the very chic packaging, this new Gucci lip stain claims to be both glowy and long-lasting. I need no further convincing.
Prada
Touch Cream-To-Powder Soft Blur Longwear Blush
Isn’t she chic? It’s also a great formula. You can just blend it with your fingertips—it’s impossible to mess up. I already have Dahlia and am considering adding Bow, a flattering mauve, to my collection.
Westman Atelier
Sun Tone Bronzing Crème Hydrating Cream Bronzer
New Westman Atelier product launches are not to be missed. Truth to be told, I couldn’t wait and already ordered this, and can confirm it’s 100% worth adding to your makeup collection. It’s the most natural-looking bronzer I’ve ever tried, thanks to the mousse-like formula and the two complementary shades.
Refy
Skin Base Hydrating Gel Skin Tint With Hyaluronic Acid
Refy’s new skin tint seems perfect for those summer no-makeup makeup days. It’s sheer yet buildable, and reviewers say that it’s dewy without being too dewy.
Summer Fridays
Softline Lip Liner Creamy Sculpting Lip Pencil
These lip liners are so good. They really stand out among a sea of lip liner launches over the past year. They don’t skip at all—they’re nice and creamy, yet they last for hours. Sugar and Latte are my go-tos.
Nars
Mini Multiple Blush & Sculpt Stick Duo
I’ve been itching to try Nars’ new Sculpting Contour Stick, and this little set seems like the perfect way to do so.
Givenchy
Prisme Libre Strobing & Illuminating Highlighter Powder
Almost too pretty to use, amIright? It’s perfect for sweeping across the cheekbones and nose on spring and summer nights.
Rare Beauty
True to Myself Natural Matte Longwear Foundation
On the opposite end of the foundation spectrum from the Refy tint is the latest from Rare Beauty, which has a natural matte finish. It’s raked in a jaw-dropping amount of glowing reviews already, and I’m intrigued by the ones that say it doesn’t look flat on the skin, which is a complaint of have with many matte formulas.
Tatcha
The Milky Sunscreen
This is quickly become my go-to sunscreen, so I’m already preparing for when I run out. It spreads so beautifully, wears really well under makeup, and doesn’t smell like sunscreen in the least.
SOFIE PAVITT FACE
Skin Jelly Oil-Free Gel Moisturizer
I don’t really struggle with acne, which is what Sofie Pavitt products are formulated for, but I’ve found that they work for any skin type. This new Skin Jelly moisturizer sounds perfect for the humid days to come.
Cyklar
Rose Bud Urea Hand Cream With Ectoin and Squalane
I have a lot of favorite Cyklar products, but the hand cream is up there—especially in the new Rose Bud scent, which is such a sophisticated, not-too-floral take on rose.
Sephora
A-Cica365 Soothing Redness Relief Face Serum Ph4.5 With Centella Asiatica + Hyaluronic
I discovered this K-beauty brand recently, and its products are really effective for red, irritated skin. This new lightweight serum is exactly what I need right now.
Sephora
Cloud Dew Gel Cream Moisturizer
This is the perfect lightweight moisturizer for warm weather, and I’m in need of a restock. I like it both under makeup and over potent skincare products.
Ilia
Sun Serum Mineral Sunscreen SPF 50
Sometimes I like a sunscreen with a bit of a tint, so Ilia’s latest launch comes at the perfect time. One of its features is 8-hour oil control, which is a bonus since so many sunscreens I’ve encountered leave a greasy glow.
INNBEAUTY PROJECT
Pro C Serum Brightening Solution With 15% Vitamin C + Ferulic Acid
I’m thrilled that the cult-favorite Innbeauty Project made a brightening vitamin C product. After a long winter, I’m ready to glow.
Skinfix
Hydrating Foaming Oil Cleanser With Hyaluronic Acid
Words can’t describe how tired I am of cleansers that don’t remove makeup. This one does not fall into that category, which is why I’d due for a restock.
Oribe
Supershine Smoothing Wax Stick
I live in the hot and humid South, and flyaways season is coming. I’m preparing now with Oribe’s latest release, which smooths, shines, and holds styles in place.
RŌZ
Air Thickening & Texturizing Hair Styling Spray
I rely on thickening sprays on days when my hair looks a bit flat, and I’ve been hearing good things about this RŌZ one. I like that it provides texture and shine without crunchiness.
Gisou
Honey Milk Active Repair Leave in Conditioner Mist
I like to use a leave-in conditioner on days when I use a detox shampoo, and this new Gisou mist seems like the perfect product for that. The reviewers love it, and I assume I will too.
Crown Affair
The Smoothing Air Dry Hair Styling Cream
Summer is the season for air-drying. I don’t have curly hair like a lot of the fans of this product do, but I’m hoping it’ll bring out some waviness in mine.
Dae
Dream Veil Hair & Body Fragrance Mist
Will this be the product that turns me into a hair perfume girl? It’s possible!
Moroccanoil
Mini Moroccanoil Treatment Hair Oil Mist
I used Moroccanoil Treatment Hair Oil for years, but their new lightweight mist is so much better for my hair type and the climate I live in. This one’s another restock to add to the cart.
Sephora
The Mini Air Dry Mousse Ritual Hair Set for Volume and Texture
This set (which includes my favorite shampoo and conditioner) is such a steal.
