The 2023 yearly Sephora Sale is always one of our favorite times to stock up on high-quality skincare, makeup, and beauty brands that rarely—if ever—(looking at you, Drunk Elephant!) go on sale. It can be the best time of the year to try a new skincare product or finally splurge on the expensive hair tool that you’ve always wanted. But, we understand the choices are endless, so we’re here to narrow down some of our favorite makeup, skincare, and hair picks to shop the sale.

What is the Sephora Beauty Insider Sale?

Sephora offers a free loyalty program—Beauty Insider—that allows customers to shop the sale with varying levels of discount. If you’ve never shopped the sale before, it’s not too late to sign up. As soon as you sign up, you become an Insider and eligible for 10% off the sale. (Discount is applied at checkout.)

Sephora Beauty Insider Membership Levels

  • Rouge: Save 20%.

  • VIB: Save 15%

  • Beauty Insider: Save 10%

**To qualify, simply sign up for free at Sephora to become an Insider. After spending a yearly minimum of $350 on Sephora products, membership is elevated to VIB. Customers who spend over $1,000 yearly at Sephora qualify for Rouge status.

When is the Sephora Savings Event?

Sale Dates: April 5, 2024 - April 15, 2024.

During April, members of the Sephora Beauty Insiders can take these discounts with code ‘YAYSAVE’:

Rouge members receive the standard 20% off with first shopping rights, with VIB and Insiders receiving discounts and shopping access shortly after. Present a coupon or mention in-store or use the promo code on Sephora.com.

(Sephora Savings Event Sale Deals will be announced here.)

How Does the Sephora Sale Work?

Based on your tier of the Beauty Insider program, you can begin receiving savings on your Sephora Sale shop date. This means that Rouge members get early access to the Sephora Sale as soon as it starts. VIB members will be able to start shopping the next week, and Beauty Insiders will be eligible to start shopping immediately after.

Sephora’s online sales are a can’t-miss shopping event for not just lovers of beauty products and skincare, but for those who have been waiting for a deal on more expensive hair and facial tools. The Sephora online sales are unique in that there are very few (if any!) limitations on what is actually on sale, making it the perfect time to stock up.
