There are only a few days left to score amazing deals during Sephora’s VIB sales event — i.e., one of the brand’s biggest sales this year.
Now through April 24th, Beauty Insiders have the perfect opportunity to treat themselves to all the products chilling in their carts, anxiously waiting to be bought before another TikTok beauty lover snags them up. Who can say no to some great makeup picks from popular brands like Rare Beauty, Fenty Beauty, Makeup By Mario, and Charlotte Tilbury? Nobody. Or at least, very few people.
Here’s all you need to know to make the most of Sephora’s savings event. First, you need to become a Beauty Insider, which is completely free — yes, we said free-ninety-nine. You can sign up here if you are not a Beauty Insider already.
Now, if you’re no stranger to shopping at Sephora, this is when the deals get good. If you are a Rouge member (meaning you spend $1,000+ per year), you get 20% off all eligible products. (All those impulse buys weren’t in vain after all!) For VIB members (that is, if you spend $350+ per year), you get 15% off all orders. Last but not least, Insiders (no minimum spend!) get 10% off all orders.
The TL;DR cheat sheet for those who need it:
- Rouge Member: 20% off now through April 24.
- VIB Member: 15% off now through April 24.
- Insider Member: 10% off now through April 24.

Our Top Picks
“Lip oils have become my new go-to makeup product. I love the subtle amount of color it adds, how soft it makes my lips feel, and the shiny effect it gives off! This Dior pick includes cherry oil, which keeps the skin from drying out. I also love how the formula feels non-greasy, it’s more like a creamy texture that feels similar to a balm. I’m definitely purchasing a few more hues to keep on rotation!”— Shauna Beni, Commerce Editor
“Just a few quick spritzes of this fragrance and my entire mood is lifted! I also love layering it with other perfumes, like Ariana Grande Cloud. I find that it helps the scent stay even longer! It’s also made without parabens, so you can spray it all over your hair and not have to worry about any harsh ingredients creating damage or dryness.”— Shauna Beni
“I’m buying all Youth to the People products because my skin looks best with everything in their line. I’m talking face wash, day moisturizer, evening moisturizer, serums, scrubs, and masks. I’m a super fan.” — Danielle Kwateng, Executive Editor
“I’m a #DrySkinGirl and have been using Dr. Jart+’s Ceramidin line religiously since I decided to step up my moisturizing game in 2020. I’ve tried most products from the range but the only one that has never left my routine is the Ceramidin Skin Barrier Serum Toner, so of course, I take any sale I encounter to stock up since it is quite pricey. As the name indicates, this is a hybrid product, which sits somewhere between a toner and a serum. I find its texture to be a bit on the thicker side for both a serum and a toner, but it still does not dense. During the summer, I use it as my only moisturizer before SPF and it works wonders to not suffocate the skin. If you have sensitive skin, this will become a holy grail.” — Sara Delgado, Editor-at-Large (Style) + Reporter (Culture)
“Also relating to sensitive skin, always (and I mean ALWAYS) pick up a bottle of Tower 28’s SOS Daily Rescue Facial Spray if you see it on sale. This little spray is a lifesaver if you suffer from rashes or rosacea. Nothing calms down my skin quite like it when I’m feeling itchy or going through periods of added stress that make my skin flare up. All hail hypochlorous acid.” — Sara Delgado
“Karma struck me hard after I cheated on my eyebrow lady in December, leaving me with two uneven and alarmingly thin brows. Since then, I’ve been growing my eyebrows out to try to get them back to their regular, full, thick-bodied shape. Benefit’s 24-HR Brow Setter — which a Sephora Beauty Advisor recommended to me in-store — has been the only brow gel to successfully tame my coarse and unruly brows, offering the effects of brow lamination with a much cheaper price tag. No other brow gel I’ve ever used has chiseled, held, and set my brows for more than 12 hours while also maintaining their feathery volume.” — Kaitlyn McNab, Entertainment News Editor
“As a hyperpigmentation girlie, I can’t sing the praises of the Topicals Faded Serum enough — I’ve watched my darkest dark spots shrink considerably in diameter and fade in intensity over just a few weeks while using Faded. Like most products, it requires steady consistency for results, but the results are epic. My favorite part? It’s powerful yet gentle enough to use during both daytime and nighttime. (But always remember to wear your SPF!).” — Kaitlyn McNab
“The Hydro Grip primer from Milk Makeup is my beauty saving grace. My skin is incredibly temperamental and no primer seems to clutch onto my makeup the way this one manages to do. It’s the perfect texture that’s dewy but not sticky, which makes for a great grip on my foundation and concealer. I am always running out of this because of how much I use it, so I will be stocking up during the sale.” — Aiyana Ishmael
“Highly influenced by TikTok, the first thing I am adding to my cart is the Rare Beauty Soft Liquid Blush. I already have the shade Joy, but I’m going back for Believe. I love the effortless, natural look of it when it blends out and most importantly, you quite literally only need a pinch so you get your money’s worth, especially when its on sale.” — Donya Momenian, Fashion and Beauty Associate Editor
“Growing up in the Y2K era, I’ve tried a lot of lip glosses, but nothing compares to Fenty Beauty’s Lip Luminizer. It goes on with a beautiful shine, but you don’t have a sticky, tight, or plastic-like feeling some other glosses have. Instead, it makes my lips feel really soft and it lasts for a very long time, which is perfect because it gives my makeup a professional feel.” — Donya Momenian
“Although I’m an eyelash extension and strip lashes kind of girl, on days when I’m in a hurry and can’t be bothered with attempting to apply lashes, the Better Than Sex mascara is my go-to eyelash product. Its lengthening and volumizing abilities are perfect for my everyday makeup look.” — Aiyana Ishmael
“I’m a fiend for perfume, but with perfumes being on the pricier side, I’m super selective. I know I can never go wrong with Chanel Chance and all it’s different versions since they’re such classic, timeless, and versatile scents. I’m opting for Fraîche this time due to its popularity and the floral citrus scent that will be perfect for summer.” — Donya Momenian
“Moon Juice’s Acid Potion is my favorite dupe for the cult-favorite Biologique Recherche Lotion P50. Not only is Acid Potion way more affordable (the 1 oz Acid Potion runs for $15 in comparison to P50’s $30 1.7 oz bottle), but for me, it achieves the same clarifying, resurfacing result as P50 without the notorious burn. Acid Potion’s powerful glycolic, lactic, and salicylic acids are balanced out by niacinamide and soothing reishi, making it my go-to weekly chemical exfoliant.”— Kaitlyn McNab
