When it comes to navigating what to buy from Sephora (especially when you’re on a budget), you could say I’m an expert shopper. Recently, I decided to assign myself the task of budgeting just $150 to shop at my favorite beauty store —especially since its biannual Sephora Savings Event just kicked off for Rouge members. For context, the Sephora Savings Event is based on tiers—Rouge members can score 20 percent off starting Nov.
1, and VIB and Insider members will get 15 percent off on Nov. 5. The sale runs through Nov.
11. ADVERTISEMENT While it wasn’t easy, I can say that everything that came home with me was a solid choice—especially now that most of the items are eligible for discounts with the code SAVINGS at checkout. I spent $149 (sans tax and pre-Savings Event discounts!), to be exact.
I bought one product restock and three new-to-me beauty products that I’ve been dying to try out. Scroll through below for four beauty-editor-approved picks from Sephora . MORE FROM SCOUTED:.
