The Sephora Savings Event is one of the best times to restock your everyday favorites and finally try a few new products you’ve had sitting on your wishlist. I always approach it as a mix of both. It’s when I pick up the staples I reach for constantly and use it as an excuse to try something new that I’ve been curious about.
Over the years, I’ve found that going into the sale with a more intentional mindset makes such a difference. Instead of adding everything to cart, I focus on the products I know I’ll actually use and love, along with a few fun additions that feel right for the season.
I’ve pulled together all of my top picks across makeup, skincare, hair care, and body care. These are products I use regularly, have repurchased, or always recommend to friends. If you’re shopping the sale and not sure where to start, this is everything I think is truly worth adding to your cart.

My Sephora Savings Event Top Picks
Makeup Favorites
These are the products I reach for constantly, whether I’m doing a full face or something quick and everyday. My routine leans more natural and glowy, so I tend to gravitate toward cream formulas and products that enhance rather than cover.
This cream blush stick is one of my go-tos for adding a quick flush of color. It blends so easily and gives that healthy, lived-in glow. I’ve also been using this contour stick that adds just enough definition without looking harsh, which I love for everyday.
For complexion, I’ve been rotating between this lightweight, skin-like foundation and this concealer that brightens without creasing. Both blend seamlessly and don’t feel heavy on the skin. I like setting everything with this soft, finely milled powder that smooths without taking away the glow, and I always finish with this setting spray that actually locks everything in place.
Bronzer and highlight are where I switch things up a bit. Some days I’ll reach for this creamy bronzing balm for a more natural look, and other days I’ll use this powder bronzer for a bit more structure. This subtle highlighting balm is perfect for adding glow without looking sparkly.
For eyes and brows, I keep things simple. This neutral eyeshadow palette is always in rotation, paired with this mascara that adds lift and volume without clumping. For brows, I prefer a softer, more natural look with this pencil finished with this clear gel that enhances rather than overfills.
Makeup Brushes & Tools
The right tools make a bigger difference than people think. Even the best products apply better when you’re using brushes that really work with them.
I tend to keep a small rotation of go-to brushes that I use every day. This dense buffing brush is perfect for bronzer, especially if you like a more seamless finish. I also love this double-ended brush for sculpting since it makes contour and blending feel much easier.
For creams and liquids, this blending brush or this makeup sponge helps everything melt into the skin. And this powder puff is one of those tools I didn’t think I needed, but now use constantly for setting under the eyes or anywhere I want a little extra hold.
Lip Balms
I’m never without a lip balm, and I like having a few different options depending on the day.
Some are more treatment-focused and help smooth and hydrate over time, which I love for everyday wear or before bed. Others have more of a glossy finish and feel a bit more like a lip product while still being comfortable. This one and this one are holy grails.
I also like having at least one option that gives a little plump or a hint of color. It’s an easy way to look a bit more put together without doing a full lip.
Skincare
My skincare routine is pretty consistent, and I tend to focus on products that support hydration and keep my skin balanced.
This gentle cleanser is always the starting point, and I’ve been loving one that leaves my skin feeling soft without stripping it. I usually follow with this toner or this facial spray to add an extra layer of hydration, especially when my skin feels dry.
I use these exfoliating pads every morning to help with texture and brightness. I’ve also been using a mix of masks depending on what my skin needs, a detox mask (this one) when I feel a little congested, and more hydrating options like this one when my skin needs a reset.
These eye patches are something I always have on hand, especially before getting ready or traveling. And when it comes to moisturizer, I look for formulas like this one or this one that feel rich and nourishing but still absorb well.
SPF
SPF is a non-negotiable for me, and I like having a few options that fit into different parts of my routine.
This invisible sunscreen is perfect under makeup and doesn’t interfere with anything layered on top. On days when I’m wearing less makeup, I love this one that has a bit of glow.
I also always keep this powder SPF in my bag for touch-ups, along with a stick sunscreen that makes reapplying quick and easy.
Body Care
Body care is one of those small things that makes everyday routines feel a little more elevated.
I’ve been loving this body wash with a clean, subtle scent that feels fresh without being overpowering. Layering that with this body mist makes everything feel a bit more put together.
This deodorant is one I always go back to, and I also keep this hydrating body treatment in my routine, especially one that’s easy to use in the shower.
This hand sanitizer is something I always have in my bag. It’s one of those everyday essentials I end up reaching for constantly.
Hair Care & Tools
My hair routine is pretty simple, but I focus on products that keep it healthy, smooth, and easy to manage.
This rosemary shampoo and conditioner makes a big difference, and I always follow with this leave-in or this oil (I also love this one) to add hydration and shine.
I’ve also been loving styling products that enhance my natural texture without weighing it down. And having a few go-to tools like this comb, this hair towel, and this hair dryer makes getting ready so much easier.
What’s In My Cart
There are always a few things I add to my cart each sale that I’ve been wanting to try or need to restock.
Right now, I’m eyeing this mascara, this sculpting mask, and these eye masks. I’m also planning to restock a few skincare staples including my favorite eye cream and moisturizer, along with this set that is travel-friendly!
The Sephora Savings Event is one of the easiest times to refresh your routine and pick up products you know you’ll use. Whether you’re restocking essentials or trying something new, focusing on what fits into your everyday routine makes shopping the sale feel much more intentional.
