You know that hydrating serum you’ve been tilting and scraping to get every last drop? Is your hair severely damaged and in need of reprieve? Have you cleaned your makeup brushes? No judgement here, but we’re here to let you in on a little secret to help: Sephora is having another massive sale. This time, the sale is for Black Friday and Cyber Monday, which means it’s the perfect time to restock on holy grail formulas or introduce some new ones into your lineup.
Starting on November 25, the Sephora Cyber Week sale event will last until Cyber Monday, which falls on December 2. Unlike the annual Savings Event, which doles out promotions based on membership tiers, this year’s Black Friday and Cyber Monday sale is open to all shoppers, offering 30 percent off a curated selection of beauty brands each day. Featured daily brand deals include Make Up For Ever (November 27), Pat McGrath and Sunday Riley (November 28), Fenty Beauty (November 29), Kiehl’s (November 30), and Youth to the People and Peter Thomas Roth (December 2).
The best part of it all is that even when daily brand-specific sales end, there’s still a plethora of top-tier products from beloved brands to shop, many of which are up to 50 percent off. This is where ELLE Beauty comes in.
As a beauty editor working tentpole sales like Sephora’s yearly events for years, I’ve swatched, slathered, spritzed thousands of formulas. If I can find the best sunscreen for acne-prone skin, the coziest winter perfumes, and effacaious skin care sets worth every penny, there’s no telling what I can find in the depths of Sephora’s sale pages. In fact, that’s exactly what I spent hours doing. After scrolling through the Sephora Cyber Week sale, we put together a thoughtfully curated set of items ELLE Beauty will be repurchasing along with underrated gems from brands we believe are deserving of your hard-earned coin.
SKIN CARE
A proper winter skin care routine prioritizes repair and hydration above all else. Of course, sunscreen is a year-round requirement, which makes gift sets from Kiehl’s and Paula’s Choice a worthy addition to your shopping cart. Both kits provide enough products to cover your AM and PM routines, with treatment toners and serums, nourishing moisturizers, and high-SPF coverage. Other sale standouts include the viral Topical’s lip balm, Glow Recipe’s peptide-rich Pomegranate, and a head-to-toe glow duo from Youth to the People.
MAKEUP
Nothing screams holiday cheer quite like a fresh assortment of makeup to play with ahead of any holiday soirees. Nestled in the makeup pages of Sephora’s Cyber Week sale are everything from viral faves to time-honored staples from heritage brands. Make Up For Ever’s blush and highlighter palette offers a slew of colors to mix and match, regardless of complexion. Speaking of complexion, now’s the time to try Nars’ cult-favorite foundation, which leaves a subtle, dewy finish, or Sephora Collection’s much slept-on but impressive Best Skin Ever concealer.

HAIR CARE
Every year, Dyson’s Airwrap Multistyler soars to the top of wishlists. During this sale, the viral hair tool, which is dipped in a gorgeous pinkish, bronze hue, gets $100 shaved off its retail price. If you’re looking for a tool to help you switch between beach waves and bombshell curls, T3’s Twirl Trio offers three different barrel sizes for a variety of hair types. Of course, with all this hot-styling, you can’t neglect treating your actual strands. Use Dae’s three-pronged hair care system to restore balance to weakened strands, or boost your hair’s density with The Rootist’s hair-thickening serum.
