It’s no secret that Black Friday sales have been going on, well, since October, and one of the best just began. Sephora’s Holiday Savings Event is here, and it’s better than we could’ve ever expected. Here’s the deal: From now until Nov. 15, you can shop up to 30% off top-rated skincare, beauty, and hair products. It’s all based on your shopper status at the store—if you’re a Rogue member, you get 20% off, a VIB, you get 15% off, and an Insider gets 10% off. (You can sign up to become any of these at the site). In addition, some Sephora-brans products are discounted, as well.
All discounts will be applied automatically at checkout, but the time you can start receiving them differs. If you’re a Rogue member, the sale starts Nov. 5, for VIBs, it begins Nov. 9, and Insiders it starts 11/11. No matter, the price drops run through Nov. 15, so you can take advantage of the savings until then.
As shopping experts ourselves, we know that sometimes with these big sales, it’s best to tap into the brilliant minds of authorities in different fields. So, since we’ve been obsessing with anti-aging products and skin-plumping surgery alternatives lately, we outsourced a double board-certified plastic surgeon, Dr. Smita Ramanadham, and asked her what she would buy in this sale.

The scoop she gave us includes everything from wrinkle-erasing serum that works so well, your friends might ask if you got Botox after using it, to plumping lip gloss that rivals filler products. Not including the discounts you’ll get, the prices of these items range from $21 to $129, and include everything from high-end to drugstore product favorites.
