Somehow the holidays are here, and a gift has come early: One of the best Sephora sales of 2021, hot off the heels of the retailer’s last major sale just a few weeks ago. While the state of the world might feel like a certified dumpster fire, at least we can still shop our favorite beauty products at serious discounts in peace, right?

The Sephora Beauty for All Event is a brand-new surprise sale, and runs from Friday, December 3, through Sunday, December 12. Reminder: The sale is open only to Insider members, so now’s the time to sign up if you haven’t yet—it’s totally free to join. 

Unlike the rest of Sephora’s big sales, the Beauty for All Event is not a tiered sale, meaning that all levels of Beauty Insiders will get 20% off their purchase no matter when they place their order—just be sure to use the code GIFTEASY at checkout to score the discount. In addition, all Sephora Collection products will be 30% off, so it’s the perfect time to get your stocking stuffers sorted. 

The only catch? The code can only be used one time per customer, so you’re going to want to think carefully, which is why we got a jump on making your shopping list for you. We suggest taking advantage of the bargains and stocking up on already discounted holiday sets or going for that big-ticket item you’ve always been eyeing, like a NuFace facial device or a blow-dry brush. Even if you’re just stocking up on favorites, now is the time to add to cart. 

If you’re in the mood for something new, we rounded up some of our favorites to shop during the biggest of the Sephora sales 2021 to make things a little easier on you. Happy shopping!

Sometimes self-care, in the beauty sense, can feel a little rote—you light your candles, apply your mask, then you’re on your way to sweet dreams before it’s back to the grind. Every now and then, though, there’s a product that switches it up and makes the routine a little more fun. For me, that’s Otzi’s Dough Therapy Mask.

The pore-tightening, gently exfoliating mask was part of the vegan and cruelty-free brand’s debut collection at Sephora and it immediately caught my attention thanks to its bright packaging and playful consistency. As someone who spent their childhood building humans globs out of Play-doh, I’m a sucker for anything that’s bouncy and jiggly. Even better if it’s a mask promising to deliver results akin to a face lift in under 10 minutes. 

For my sensitive, dehydrated, combination skin (proud delicate flower over here!), I tread lightly when it comes to applying any products that identify as a physical exfoliant because the acids can lead to some unsightly irritation. After much trial and error, I learned that less is more when it comes to consistent and effective results which is why I now exfoliate about once a week, maybe twice if my skin feels really clogged. 

Otzi’s Dough Therapy mask was billed to deeply clean and brighten thanks to a mix of kaolin clay, rice ceramides, and oat extract in just five minutes, so I was very eager to test it out. 

Ask any beauty lover, and they’ll tell you they wait all year for the Sephora Beauty Insider Sale to drop. The perenially loved savings event is finally here, and to the dismay of wallets everywhere, it’s better than ever—with hundreds (nay, thousands) of markdowns on skin care, hair care, makeup, and more. 

The retailer’s enormous spring sale kicks off online and in-store for Beauty Insiders on April 9 and runs through April 19. Chances are if you’re reading this post, you’re already a Sephora member. If not, the moment to sign up is right this second—plus, it’s totally free to join. First-time shoppers, listen carefully before diving right in. There are different levels of access to the products on sale at Sephora. It works like this: Rouge members (anyone who’s spent $1,000 or more in a calendar year) have first dibs, with 20% off their entire purchase from April 9 to April 19. For VIB members (shoppers who spent at least $350 last year), the sale will run from April 13 through April 19 and includes 15% off all orders. And for Insiders (anyone who signs up for the loyalty program), the savings run from April 14 through April 19, with 10% off all orders. To cash in on the deal, everyone—no matter the tier—has to enter the code OMGSPRING at checkout.

Beauty Insiders are savvy shoppers, and Sephora knows it, so in addition to its bevy of brand discounts, the retailer is also offering members 30% off Sephora Collection products. We’re talking makeup brushes, sheet masks, and gift sets that’d be great for Mother’s Day. (Heads up: The promos can’t be combined, though they do run at the same time from April 9 through April 19.)

Now that the floodgates are officially open for the Sephora Beauty Insider Sale, it’s time to start making your shopping list. Practically everything is up for grabs for U.S.-based customers, with the small exception of products from The Ordinary and Nudestix’s Anti-Bacterial Hand Sanitizer Gel. Even Dyson hair tools can be yours! (Just note you can get only one Dyson item per transaction.) 

Of course, with so many incredible brands on the menu—NuFace, Augustinus Bader, Tatcha…you get the picture—you want to make sure you’re getting the best deals while supplies lasst. That’s why we did the work for you and scoped out the products you absolutely don’t want to miss.

As far as dream jobs go, Melinda Solares has a pretty sweet gig. As Sephora‘s new beauty director, she gets to try out just about every product that hits the store’s shelves and give unbiased recommendations to the millions of people who shop there every day. 

But as fun as it is to drown in lipsticks and moisturizers, it’s also a responsibility she takes seriously. Because if anyone knows the transformative power of great skin care—and more importantly, listening to what your particular skin needs—it’s Solares. “When I was younger I really struggled with hormonal, cystic acne. I still have some scarring,” she says. Solares tried everything: diet changes, doxycycline, spironolactone, exercise, facials, laser treatments, Botox, and the least helpful advice of all when you have chronic acne, drinking more water. 

“It’s been a long journey, but overall my skin is my dream now,” she says, crediting the years of trial and error it took working with a dermatologist and an esthetician to get her skin in a healthier place. It’s also why she approaches her work with no judgments. “I consider myself a realist. So whenever someone asks me, ‘What should I use in my skin-care routine?’ I ask them about their lifestyle,” she says. “If they’re busy or don’t have a ton of interest in beauty, then I’m like, let’s just nail down the basics and make sure you have a routine you can keep consistent.” 

Whether it’s simple or involved, she says sticking with a routine is key. For her personally, that means—at minimum—starting the day with a light rinse, a hyaluronic acid serum, and an SPF moisturizer. “I cater my skin-care routine based on what my skin needs and how busy or anxious I’m feeling,” says Solares. “At most, I’ll go up to nine steps in my routine—usually on Sundays when I want to take some time for self-care.”

So what makes the cut when you have all of Sephora’s top-sellers at your disposal? We asked Solares to drop her routine—and, of course, spill what’s worth grabbing the next time you find yourself aimlessly wandering through Sephora. 

My Steamer

The first thing I’ve been really into lately—especially since I’ve been at home and haven’t been able to get to the dermatologist or facialist—is steaming my face before I start my skin care routine. I always say, think of your skin like a sponge. When you’re washing dishes, if your sponge is dry, it doesn’t do much. But when it’s wet, it picks up and absorbs everything on your plate. Your skin acts the same way. When you use steam before cleansing, you loosen the dirt in your pores and create pathways for everything to come off easier. And it’ll make your skin care afterwards absorb better.

I’ve tried a ton of steamers, but nothing compares to Dr. Dennis Gross’s Pro Facial Steamer. It packs a punch with the steam. You’re never left wondering “is this really doing anything?” In my dream world I’d use it every night, but realistically, I use it about twice a week. I’ll either start cleansing, then sit in front of this so it helps break down my makeup, or I’ll pop on a face mask and steam. I had bad cystic acne for years, and I feel like this was a game-changer for me.

My Cleansers

Most mornings, I just splash my face with cold water. But at night, I’m all about the double cleanse. I’ll start by using a pre-cleanser to help break down any makeup I’m wearing. Lately, I’ve been using the Farmacy Green Clean Makeup Melt Away Cleansing Balm. It is so good. I mean, get-Halloween-makeup-off-in-one-try good. And I find that it keeps my dry skin feeling way more moisturized and hydrated than other makeup removers.
