Here's what you need to know about the Sephora holiday savings sale

The Sephora Savings Event starts today. Here's what you need to know about the holiday sale

If you’re a Sephora Beauty Insider shopper, you’re in for an early holiday treat: the Fall VIB Savings Event begins today, and there are hundreds of products just waiting to be purchased as holiday gifts for yourself or someone else. 

Sephora’s VIB event offers Beauty Insiders discounts of 10, 15 or 20% off, depending on their Beauty Insider status. The sweetest part of the sales event, however, is that it falls early in the holiday season. And according to the National Retail Federation, shoppers are prepared to stock up on gifts and most-wanted items — including top-selling Sephora products — before they become impossible to find. 

What you should know about Sephora’s savings event

What is the Sephora VIB Savings Event?

The Sephora Fall VIB Savings Event unlocks discounts that Beauty Insiders can apply to their total purchase of regular-priced and sale items, with few exclusions. The event runs Nov. 5-15, though it’s broken down in three phases depending on Beauty Insider status.

  • Rouge shoppers enjoy 20% from Nov. 5-15
  • VIB shoppers enjoy 15% off from Nov. 9-15
  • Insider shoppers enjoy 10% off from Nov. 11-15

Shoppers who aren’t currently Sephora Beauty Insider members can sign up today and automatically qualify for 10% off on Nov. 11. In the meantime, they can start adding items to their cart — from masks to moisturizers — in anticipation of the sale. 

Where is the Sephora VIB Savings event held?

Fall’s Sephora VIB Savings event is held online and in stores, including in Sephora at Kohl’s locations. Beauty Insider members who prefer shopping online can apply their 10, 15 or 20% discount to their entire cart with the YAYHOLIDAY code. 

How to become a Sephora Beauty Insider

To save on their favorite beauty products during the Fall VIB Savings Event, shoppers will need to sign up for a Sephora Beauty Insider membership. Not only does it unlock exclusive access to sales and events, Beauty Insiders rack up points they can redeem for rewards. 

All new members begin as Sephora Beauty Insiders, and once they spend $350 in a year, they’re elevated to VIB status. After that, when they spend $1,000 a year, they become Rogue members — the highest tier of the program with the most rewards and perks.
