It’s Super Bowl time!!! I mean… Sephora Sale time!! To all my beauty-lovers out there, the holiday savings event has arrived to round out the end of the year!🛍 The event runs from November 1-November 11, 2024 and opens to shoppers based on Sephora status, the same as years past. I couldn’t be more excited to cover this sale for the fifth year for all of you. Fun fact about my blog, the first sale I covered was the Sephora Spring Sale back in 2020 before I re-branded in 2021. Many of y’all have been around since then so you know the drill! Just leaning into my Type A tendencies here …in preparation for the sale, I start saving several months before each savings event. As you may know, there are 2 sales, the first we had in the spring and now the holiday/fall sale has arrived. The reason why I look forward to this sale is because it is a great time to restock on favourite products that you’ve been loving. Some of the items in my cart are tried and true products that either I repurchase every year or that I found last year and love it enough to restock. Another reason why this sale is such a good time to place an order is because with the discounts, it makes snagging more luxurious or high-ticket items at a better price. Of course with the holidays right around the corner, there are many gift sets available that would be great for anyone on your list. I have laid out the basics below:
The Basics
For those of you who have been following along with me since the beginning of my blog, this is the same spiel with all of the basic info that anyone needs to know in order to shop the event. First, you must have an account with Sephora. If you don’t have an account with Sephora, you can sign up for free here.

Make sure to use the code SAVINGS when you are checking out to receive your holiday savings! This discount code is multi-use and can be used in-store of course, as well. ✨
I have split this post into several sections so it is easier to plan your shopping strategy (and yes I take this sale that seriously). The sections include daily makeup items and on my wishlist. If at any time, you need a more comprehensive review of a particular product or have additional questions, please reach out to me ~ I’m happy to help!
Daily Makeup Favs
First up are my go to daily makeup items or my holy grail products. These are the items that I reach for the most on my vanity. I only put products in this category if it is truly what I wear most of the week and that if I didn’t have another, I would need to immediately repurchase.
Lancome Idole Ultra-Precise Felt Tip Liquid Eyeliner – $25 This was a recent purchase this year and I was so happy that I tried it out because it surpassed all of my expectations. It is jet black, ultra fine so that it can be easily maneuvered, and long staying power. I would definitely repurchase if I didn’t already have a restock.
Hourglass Ambient Lighting Edit Unlocked Palette (shade: medium) – $90 I bought this palette two years ago in the medium colour story and have loved it ever since. Back then, it was the elephant cover that I went after but every year, there is a similar version of the palette. It is great for travel and the formulas truly speak for themselves. It is is a great purchase for the sale because with the discount, it would be a good time to try the product if you haven’t already.
Patrick Ta Major Beauty Headlines Double-Take Creme & Powder Blush (shade: She’s a Doll) – $38 This blush is the perfect shade for that pop of pink on your cheeks. I use the creme blush first using the Sephora #99 brush above and then I put the powder on top for a very youthful look. The brighter the pink, the better.
Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-On Waterproof Eyeliner Pencil (shade: bourbon, glimmering dark brown)- $23 This eyeliner is a beautiful brown with slight shimmer in it which I love to use on an everyday look. I line my top lid and smudge it with with a brush so it creates a soft glow look. I also wear this liner without eyeshadow if I just want a subtle outline to make my eyes shine a bit more.
Sephora Collection PRO Concealer Brush #71 – $22 30% off the Sephora Collection during the sale, you can’t beat that for the quality of the PRO brushes. This concealer brush is dense but softly bristled so it doesn’t irritate your under eye while blending concealer seamlessly. I switch back and forth between using makeup sponges and makeup brushes under my eyes but if I use a brush it will definitely be this one.
Fenty Beauty Gloss Bomb Universal Lip Luminizer (shade: Hot Chocalit AND Fu$$Y)- $21 This was one of my favourite purchases from the fall sale because of course, Fenty glosses lived up to the hype. Ultra shiny and glossy but does not feel sticky or artificial on the lips at all. This shade was absolutely stunning for the colder months. Now I have my eye on Fu$$y for the summer.
Sephora Collection PRO BLUSH BRUSH #99– $30 My biggest advice for the sale? Don’t sleep on the Sephora Collection items! I bought this brush for my cream blushes last year and it’s the only brush I use now. Plus all of Sephora Collection is 30% off.
Lancome Cils Booster XL Super-Enhancing Mascara Primer– $30 The absolute best eyelash primer that has ever graced this planet. No, I don’t say this lightly either. Every sale, I buy in bulk because I just can never run out of it. I have three in my restock drawer already. The trick is to let it sit for about 30 seconds so it gets a bit tacky and then apply the mascara of your choice for a beautiful wispy and full effect.
HUDA BEAUTY Easy Bake Loose Baking & Setting Powder (shade: banana bread- light, medium, and tan skin tones)- $38 The best loose setting powder on the market! This was a recent find from the Sephora Holiday Sale and I am so glad I picked it up because I don’t go a day without using it. The powder is so finely milled and it applies beautifully on the skin. Doesn’t crease at all and it brightens the area applied. I don’t need a restock because I still have plenty, but I will definitely make sure I don’t ever run out of it.
Yves Saint Laurent All Hours Luminous Matte Foundation 24H Longer (shade: MN6 medium shade with neutral undertones 6) – $62 The title alone luminous matte sounds too good to be true but I am here to tell you that it is truly that good. I picked it up this past spring sale and fell in love with the coverage and the wear. It feels like velvet on the skin and wears beautifully throughout the day. The shade range is also quite large which I appreciated so I can have both my summer and winter shade available in the formula.
Urban Decay Mini Original Eyeshadow Primer Potion – $18 I chose to buy the mini because I wanted make sure I loved it before I bought the full size. I actually used to use this product when I was in high school and really liked it. All these years later, I went back to it and it still works like a charm. This is a creaseproof primer for even my most complex eyeshadow looks.
Haus Labs Color Fuse Talc-Free Blush Powder (shade: Hibiscus Haze) $32 – I bought this item during the spring sale and I absolutely do not regret it. The shade and the formula are truly beautiful. This was also the first item I tried from Haus Labs by Lady Gaga and I was quite impressed. I have been struggling with acne over the past couple of years and since this formula is talc-free, I haven’t noticed any breakouts and it lays beautifully on the skin even with texture and large pores. I will be continuing to try more of Haus Labs products in the future.
One Size On ‘Til Dawn Mattifying Waterproof Setting Spray $32 – This has been a repurchase type of item for the past two years. Everyday wear, any glam events, during the heat of summer or on the driest of winter days, I can rely on this setting spray. Recently, I needed my makeup to stay on all day while I was in a humid wedding, and it stayed without any issues for 8+ hours. I like to use this in combination with the Charlotte Tilbury setting spray for extra coverage but this spray is an incredible standalone product and I always keep this back stocked in my makeup drawer.
Fenty Beauty Diamond Bomb All-Over Diamond Veil (shade: How Many Carats?! – pure platinum sparkle) $42 Another item I was so pleased with after purchasing from the fall sale. It is absolutely stunning as a highlighter, all over body shimmer, or an eye shadow topper! Truly one of the best and looks like you’ve been dipped in diamonds. It’s a little pricey but it will last you a lifetime and it’s the perfect time to grab it if you’ve been eyeing since it’s on sale.
Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Wiz Ultra-Slim Precision Brow Pencil (shade: ebony) – $25 If you watched my videos from the spring sale, you already know that brow products have never been a priority for me. I got a couple of recommendations on using a very low-key brow pencil so I decided to try this one out and love it now. I have very dark brown almost black coloured hair so the shade ebony was a perfect match for me.
What’s On My Wishlist?
I have made the below graphic with all the items that I have been wishing for. A couple are restocks but I admit that there are quite a a few new products that I can’t wait to try.
Lots of information in this post but I wanted to make sure that you had as many details on my staples available to you right when the sale opens, no matter which tier you shop in. I am also always available to answer any questions you might have or share my thoughts/experiences with certain products. Clearly, I’m so excited for this sale and I hope y’all are too. It only comes around twice a year, after all. Happy shopping! Can’t wait to chat all about the goodies purchased! Thanks for reading🤍
XOXO
