Mark your calendars and set your alarms, beauty lovers, the Sephora Beauty Insider Sale begins tonight! And we’re here to tell you that the savings this year are bigger than ever.
Starting tonight at 11.50pm EST through April 11th, you’ll be able to shop hundreds of markdowns on the most coveted skin care, hair care and makeup brands, plus plenty of other beauty bits and bobs. We know, this Sephora sale sounds too good to be true, but trust us, we’re very serious when it comes to our beauty sales, and this is not one to miss.
What is the Sephora Beauty Insider Sale?
The Sephora Beauty Insider Sale, also known as the Spring Savings Event, kicks off tonight for Beauty Insiders everywhere. You can shop the Sephora sale online and in-stores tonight until April 11.
There is a slight catch: To access the super steals, you must be a Sephora Beauty Insider. But the good news is that it is quick, simple and free to join — and if you’re not a Beauty Insider, do not pass go and take a second to sign up right this very moment.
If you’re a first-time shopper, or you just need a quick refresher, here’s how the Sephora Beauty Insider Sale works. There are different levels of discounts to the products on sale at Sephora.
- Rouge is the highest level, which is anyone who has spent $1,000 or more in a calendar year at Sephora. Rouge members will be able to shop the sale first, plus they’ll receive the biggest discount at 20% off of their entire purchase for the duration of the sale, from April 1 to April 11.
- VIB: VIB members are Sephora shoppers who have spent at least $350 this past year. The sale opens to VIB members a little later, on April 5, and they will receive 15% off all orders.
- Insider: An Insider is someone who signs up for the Sephora loyalty program. These members will have access to the Sephora sale starting on April 7 and can nab products at 10% off.
But that’s not all! Sephora is giving all Beauty Insiders — no matter the tier — 30% off Sephora Collection products. That’s right, the entire line of beloved, not to mention top-rated, makeup and skincare are up for grabs at a steep discount. And don’t forget the line’s mountain of hair tools as well as makeup brushes, sponges and other accessories. So if you still haven’t splurged on a Mother’s Day gift for mom or you’re looking to stock up on essentials, now’s your chance (and no one has to know you paid sale price for it). And if you’ve been sitting on a hair or makeup trend, take the plunge and buy the colorful eyeshadow palette, bold red lip or hair product at a major discount, so it’s even less of a bummer if you don’t like it because you got it on sale.
You may be thinking that such a mega sale won’t include the very top products at Sephora, but that is false! Even the most coveted brands that never go on sale will be marked down, including Dyson hair tools, NuFace, Tatcha, Charlotte Tilbury and Drunk Elephant, just to name a few. In fact, out of all the brands Sephora offers, only three (three!) are excluded from the sale — The Ordinary, M.A.C. Cosmetics and Viva Glam — but literally every other brand and product is fair game.
A sale this amazing sells out fast, so don’t sleep on it. And when in doubt, remember Sephora’s generous return policy: You’ll have 30 days from the date of purchase to return the product if — worst case scenario — you change your mind or it doesn’t suit you.
Do I Have To Be A Sephora Insider to Shop the Sale?
Yes, you need to be a Sephora Beauty Insider to access the Spring Savings Event. It’s a totally easy rewards program for Sephora shoppers — you just sign up and start shopping.
Is the Sephora Beauty Insider Sale Worth Shopping?
Absolutely, no doubt about it, the Sephora Beauty Insider slash Spring Savings Event is the best sale at Sephora for the entire year. Lucky for us, the Beauty Insider Sale happens twice a year, but the Spring Savings Event is our favorite because it’s a low-stakes way to test out all the new, trendy products at a steep discount and just in time for summer.

Skin Care
It’s a small miracle that this mega sale is launching just around the time that we’re gearing up to fully switch our skin care from heavy winter creams and oils to light summer tints, gel cleansers and plenty of sunscreen. With warmer months often come more frequent breakouts and oily skin, so don’t forget about the targeted spot treatments filled with pimple-busting ingredients, clarifying masks to tackle blackheads and shine, or blotting papers you can throw in your bag.
There’s also a wide world of skin care tools and devices, all of which you can score at a discount. Facial cleansing tools and brushes, at-home facial steamers, plus micro-current and LED masks are solution-oriented skin supporters, no matter the season. And if you can’t choose just one, opt for a bundle, like the one from NuFace, which comes with the OG device, plus an eye and lip enhancer attachment, so you get the best of everything.

Makeup
We know you’re itching to switch up something about your makeup routine, and with summer approaching, it’s the perfect time to try a new gloss, contour kit, highlighter or bronzer. Or if you’re starting to head back into the office after years of working from home, then your workday makeup staples, like mascara, concealer and foundation, probably need a refresh after lying dormant for so long. Another key purchase for summer are mattifying primers, which are your best friend when it comes to those hot, humid days. There are so many fun, new trends and so many products to play with, there’s really no wrong move here (except not making a move at all!).

When it comes to our bodies, we could all use a little more TLC in the form of rich creams and techy gadgets. Plus, don’t we all want an enviable sun-kissed glow, but without the skin damage?

Fragrance
You really can’t have too many candles, fragrant hand soaps or perfumes; the only issue is the cost. If you splurge for a buzzy floral perfume and it doesn’t work with your body chemistry, that can be an expensive misstep that prevents most of us from trying new scents. Take it from us: Capitalize on this sale to try the perfume oils, rollers or minis that you think you may love before diving right in and buying the regular size. Not sure where to start? Give this perfume guide a read and find which perfume speaks to you. And if you’re anything like us, you’ve been wildly curious about what Tom Ford’s Fucking Fabulous candle actually smells like.
