I’m a Beauty Writer Who Rarely Buys Products, But I Always Stock Up on These During Sephora's Savings Event

I can’t lie; being a beauty commerce writer is pretty cool. Learning about new drops before anyone else or testing lab samples are some of the better parts of the job. But nothing beats the perk of just receiving products. After doing this for over five years, I’ve accumulated a small store’s worth of beauty products, so now I’m at a point where I really don’t need to buy things like shower gel, body lotion, eyeshadow, mascara, and the list goes on — for the foreseeable future. And trust me, I’m forever grateful for this privilege. However, there are some holy grails that I repeatedly repurchase regardless of what’s in my beauty closet, especially during Sephora’s Savings Event.
Sephora is one of (if not the) top premier destinations for all things hair, makeup, skincare, and fragrance. They carry some of the most sought-after brands across the industry that beauty lovers all over can’t get enough of. Beauty writers and editors have been patiently waiting for the Sephora Savings Event to start. This special time only happens twice a year, and it’s when we can stock up and save on our favorite or nonnegotiable products in our routines.
Like most, I’ve had my cart filled and ready for when the sale opens to all Beauty Insider tiers. If you’re a Rogue member, you can start shopping for the sale already, but if you’re like me, who’s a VIB or an Insider, you can start shopping tomorrow, Tuesday, April 8. So, if you haven’t started adding things to your cart, now’s the time. And no worries if you’re not a Beauty Insider yet; you can still sign up here and save 10% off once you do. You just need to use the code SAVEMORE when you check out.
But if you still need inspo on what to get, peek at what’s already in my cart below. From creamy concealers that I swear by to serums for hyperpigmentation and everything in between, this is the time to restock your vanity. Oh, and everything here is under $50!
SEPHORA SAVINGS EVENT 2025
Laneige Cream Skin Refillable Toner & Moisturizer
Use code SAVEMORE to save 10%, 15%, or 20% off.
Sale or no sale, I regularly buy the mini version of the Laneige Cream Skin toner. It’s in my top three favorite toners, but it’s the only one that comes in a travel size, which will be clutch for all the spring and summer traveling I’ll be doing this year. I’m a big advocate for mini products because you genuinely never know when you will need to do your skincare routine on the go.

PatMcGrath Labs Sublime Perfection Concealer
Use code SAVEMORE to save 10%, 15%, or 20% off.
The amount of complexion products I have is unreal, yet PatMcGrath’s Sublime concealer holds a very special place in my heart. It offers full coverage that still looks skin-like, so it’s perfect for my hyperpigmentation and gives me a natural hue that I love. Also, the shade range is top-tier.
SEPHORA SAVINGS EVENT 2025
Biodance Bio Collagen Real Deep Mask
Use code SAVEMORE to save 10%, 15%, or 20% off.
I adore these overnight sheet masks! (Check out my review here!) And now they’re officially available at Sephora. I try to use one of these once a week, so I go through them a lot. Now, I no longer have to wait for them to come in the mail from Amazon when I run out. I’ll be adding quite a few of these packs to my cart this week.
SEPHORA SAVINGS EVENT 2025
KAYALI Yum Pistachio Gelato | 33 Body Spray
Use code SAVEMORE to save 10%, 15%, or 20% off.
Anyone who knows me knows I’ve been obsessed with KAYALI’s Yum fragrance since it launched. I buy a new bottle of perfume every sale, but this year, the brand dropped a new body spray of the fragrance that I can’t wait to try.
SEPHORA SAVINGS EVENT 2025
Topical Faded Serum for Dark Spots & Discoloration
Use code SAVEMORE to save 10%, 15%, or 20% off.
I’ve been dealing with hyperpigmentation and stubborn acne scars since I can remember, and nothing has helped fade them away quite like Topicals Faded Serum. It is formulated with tranexamic acid, which helps to visibly reduce spots, acne scars, and dark spots, while azelaic acid helps to brighten the skin tone. It also has Niacinamide, which is an MVP for post-acne care.
SEPHORA SAVINGS EVENT 2025
Donna Karan Cashmere Mist Deodorant
Use code SAVEMORE to save 10%, 15%, or 20% off.
TikTok definitely got me with this one. Ever since it went viral a couple of years back, I’ve strictly only ever used this deodorant. Yes, it is over $30, which is pretty crazy, so I stock up when they’re on sale. There’s just something about the scent that makes me feel like a rich girl, even while sweating profusely.
