Sephora Steals: Makeup products to purchase at the annual Sephora Savings Event, which ends on April 15

The annual Sephora Savings Event is a makeup lover’s jackpot, and one of my favorite events of the year. 

Until April 15, members of Sephora’s rewards program — which you can sign up for at checkout by giving your phone number — can get anywhere from 10-30% off select products in store, depending on your rewards status. 

It’s an excuse for me to wander around Sephora for at least an hour, picking out products that I wouldn’t usually try if they weren’t on sale. If you’re wanting to take advantage of this sale but you’re unsure what to buy, here are some of my favorite products that you should pick up before the sale ends.

This product makes me look like I just returned from a tropical vacation. The drops always make my face look bronzed and sunkissed, and they’re not as highly pigmented that you’d need to mix them with moisturizer — unlike other similar products on the market like the Drunk Elephant Bronzing Drops.

I use the Sunglow drops after my primer, and they’re a staple base product that makes the rest of my makeup look glowy. I use it every single day, either by itself or with a full face of makeup. I especially love wearing it for school, as I’m usually too lazy to put foundation on at 7 a.m. and it always lasts the whole school day.

This product is already reasonably priced — $28 for their standard size bottle before any discounts — but it’s a must-have if you’re looking for a bronzed base.

I’ve always struggled to find a foundation that doesn’t make the rest of my makeup look caked-on. But this Nars foundation is perfect for anyone looking for a lightweight and natural foundation.

This product blends so easily and gives your face a radiant glow — without causing breakouts or feeling too oily on your skin. It looks the same on my face hours after I’ve applied it, which is so rare.

It’s a higher end product with a $52 price tag. But this sale is the best time to purchase and try out this incredible product for a cheaper price.

I’m a huge fan of any lip products, but the Tower 28 lip gloss is by far my favorite.

Not only does it smell like a fresh bowl of mixed fruits, but the product comes in tons of different and unique shades of pink. My personal favorite is the shade Wild, a deep pink shade that is unlike any other color gloss I’ve seen from any other brand.

This lip product doesn’t dry your lips out either, unlike other lip products on the market. And all of Tower 28’s products are cruelty-free, which makes me want to purchase this gloss in every shade even more.

This is the best contour stick on the market. It’s easy to blend and it’s long-lasting — what more could you ask for?

I’ve found other contour products similar to this one to either make me look too bronzed or blend out too patchy. But the cool-tone shades on this product and its impeccable formula make it one of the best and easiest to use contour products out there.

I don’t usually love the price tag on Charlotte Tilbury products, but even without the sale this setting spray is worth the money.

It makes my makeup last for hours, doesn’t smell like chemicals and doesn’t ruin my makeup look. This setting spray makes my makeup feel like my own skin, and it’s the best setting spray out there.

Yet another Saie product — their liquid blush — has become a new staple in my makeup collection.

Don’t let the fact that it’s a liquid blush scare you, this product is easy to blend and gives the perfect rosy cheek look. It’s also extremely pigmented — one dot on each cheek when applying is plenty. I’ve had this product for months and I’ve barely made a dent in it, which is truly ideal because I won’t have to buy a new blush again for a while.

I’m not a huge fan of how pink some shades of this blush are, but my personal favorite shade is “chilly” — a mix between pink and red that is the exact shade I look for in a blush.
