E! may get a commission if you purchase something through our links. Learn more.

I love Sephora—it’s my go-to for hair, makeup, and skincare essentials. They don’t have sales all that often, but when they do I’m ready to stock up. As an E! Shopping Editor and a Sephora Rouge member, I’ve put in the time, budgeting and planning, to make sure I get the absolute best deals.

Today, the Sephora Savings Event opens to everyone, no matter your Sephora membership tier, so if you’ve been holding off on certain splurges, now’s the time to add them to your cart!

There are a few products I’ll only buy when they’re marked down, whether because they’re pricey to begin with or because I use them so often that it just makes sense to save on extras. Some of these picks may seem like a splurge, while others I simply consider “expensive” for what they are, but all are essentials in my beauty routine.

Here are the beauty products I always wait to buy on sale, starting with the must-haves I’m snagging right now.

Make sure you use the code SAVINGS at checkout to get these discounts for your Sephora Beauty Insider Membership level:

Beauty Products I Only Buy on Sale

I know these scrunchies may seem pricey, but they're the only ones I use because they hold all my hair without leaving creases or dents, which is why I wait for sales to stock up.

I've been using these peel pads every two nights since 2016, and they consistently keep my skin smooth and radiant. Choose from Original, Gentle, and Extra Strength.

E! Shopping Editor Tips: If you're not sure which strength to get, I recommend trying the original version. I have used all three strengths throughout the years. Currently, I alternate between the Original and the Extra Strength.

I only use these at night and I lock it in with moisturizer or an overnight mask.

Kathy Hilton used this spray-on moisturizer during a July 2021 RHOBH episode, telling her sister Kyle Richards she keeps it in her bag because her skin gets dry. I've been using it ever since.

E! Shopping Editor Tips: I use this on bare skin as a moisturizer. I spray this on my makeup sponge while I blend. I use it as a setting spray over makeup for a luminous look and for some extra hydration throughout the day.

This powder is pure magic! It's like an instant airbrush for my face, blurring out imperfections and minimizing the appearance of pores (which is a major issue for me). 

E! Shopping Editor Tips: I use this after I'm done with makeup. I swirl the powder in the container so all the different colors blend. I put it on with a powder puff and lightly press it into my skin. Then I will wait about five minutes before dusting it off with a brush. Whenever I forget to use this it is so obvious because there is makeup all over my collar. 

Texture-wise, it's smooth as silk, giving my skin that flawless finish I crave. My makeup stays put for hours longer when I use this gem. But the real game-changer? My shade (Color 4) to tones down redness, correct dark spots, and even out my skin tone. 

Shade Options: 6

This lightweight overnight oil hydrates and nourishes the skin while helping to improve the appearance of fine lines and uneven skin tone, resulting in a more radiant complexion by morning.

E! Shopping Editor Tips: I only use this at night. I put it on after my moisturizer. I lightly massage it in until the blue color disappears.

Wake up to soft, hydrated lips with this luxurious overnight treatment that feels like a spa session for your pout.

Flavors/Scents: 8

Celebrity Fans: Sydney Sweeney, Porsha Williams, Alix Earle, Justine Skye, Paige DeSorbo, Hannah Brown, Kenzie Ziegler, Dr. Nicole Martin, Alexia Nepola, Drew Sidora, Delilah Belle Hamlin, Serayah, Sydney Warner, and Ashley Haas. 

Sydney Sweeney, told E!, "I have one on me at all times, in my bag, in my bathroom. It has just been my staple product."

This repairing mask is a lifesaver for my damaged hair, providing intense hydration and reducing breakage while leaving my locks feeling soft and revitalized.

E! Insider Shop: This mask makes a huge difference if I leave it in my hair for five minutes. However, it's downright miraculous when I leave it on overnight.

Want a radiant, dewy look without the grease? Tatcha's Dewy Skin Cream delivers a plump, glowing complexion without feeling heavy. 

E! Shopping Editor Tips: If I'm leaving the house without makeup, but I want to feel confident, this cream gives me the best dewy glow on bare skin. It also sits very well under makeup (no pilling).

This lip oil instantly hydrates and enhances the lips with a hint of color, leaving them looking glossy and healthy.

E! Insider Shop Editor Tips: I use this on its own, over lip liner, and over lipstick.

I have never been so happy with a skincare product so soon after using it for the first time. This set includes nose strips and face strips (which I love to use on my chin and forehead).

E! Shopping Editor Tips: I put these pore strips on before bed time and let them do their thing.  This set includes nose strips and face strips (which I love to use on my chin and forehead).

The pore strips I previously used had to be applied over wet skin. When they dried, it was a painful process to peel off the strip after 10-15 minutes. In contrast, these hydrocolloid strips stay on for hours and they don't feel like they're tearing my skin when I take them off.

If you're looking to add some fullness and shine to your strands, this serum could be the secret to bringing life back to thinning hair.  

E! Shopping Editor Tip: I use this on damp hair and dry hair. I make sure to use it every day.

If you want "you smell amazing" compliments everywhere you go, then this is the scent for you. It's the most refreshing, subtle floral aroma that you will want it with you at all times just so you can freshen up.
