We’ve done a lot of deep diving into skin care, makeup, and hair care, and many of our top picks in these categories can be found at Sephora — occasionally even on sale. To help you find the best deals at the retailer, we’ve rounded up everything we’ve written about that’s currently marked down. This includes some basically never-on-sale Rare Beauty, one of our favorite face washes, and plenty of gift sets. While you’re here, be sure to sign up for our email newsletter to find out about other worthwhile sales.
On-sale Rare Beauty is so, well, rare that when it happens the products tend to sell out almost instantly. This trio includes some of our favorite cream blush and a Gen-Z-loved liquid highlight, too.
Every once in a while, Sephora’s very affordable concealer becomes even more affordable — and right now, it’s discounted in every shade. When Strategist writer Arielle Avila tested it against Tarte’s Shape Tape, she found it was a worthy competitor: “It’s long-lasting and buildable, and it keeps my under eyes hydrated and glowing.”
We’ve long loved Fenty’s red lipstick, and this one is semi-matte, lightweight, and highly pigmented. Just note: Since it’s refillable, you’ll have to buy the case separately. (But you’re in luck — the case is also on sale.)
Fenty’s medium- to full-coverage foundation is still deeply discounted in a couple shades, as well.
A ton of Mario Badescu products are discounted, including this Strategist-recommended face wash. Strategist beauty writer Tembe Denton-Hurst says this gel cleanser is best for those who find foaming cleansers too drying.
I found the mini version of our favorite facial cleansing brush. It’ll fit right in your suitcase, so you won’t have to slack on skin care while traveling.
Another miniature find: The all-in-one device our friends at the Cut count as a worth-it at-home beauty tool. Despite just being a few inches in length, the little device can perform thermotherapy, cryotherapy, and LED light therapy at the push of a button (or a tap in the compatible app).
The holidays might be behind us, but there are still a few discounted gift sets worth getting. This one includes our favorite makeup-remover balm and the moisturizer that Maddy DeVita can’t live without.
This set includes the duo above, along with some nourishing minis: honey-scented eye cream and apple-scented peptide lip balm.
This set includes several classic Kiehl’s products, like its Ultra Facial Cleanser, Brooklyn Peltz Beckham’s favorite sunscreen, and JJ Johnson’s go-to face cream.
Speaking of gifts, these glue-free lashes would make a great one.
The Strategist is designed to surface the most useful, expert recommendations for things to buy across the vast e-commerce landscape.
