- Sephora's Beauty Insider holiday shopping event is running from December 4 through December 17, 2019.
- Rouge members can take $25 off purchases of $75 or more online and in-stores starting December 4, while VIB and Insider members can save $20 and $15 off purchases of $75 or more respectively starting December 5.
- Here are the 27 best beauty products to buy during the Sephora Beauty Insider event.
I've enjoyed Rouge status as a Sephora Beauty Insider for the past four years but I've yet to take advantage of its many benefits besides free shipping and early access to its big holiday sale. It's a great time to buy gifts for my family and friends, but mostly just for myself — it's the least I can do to keep up my Rouge status.
Starting December 4 through December 17, Sephora Rouge members can get $25 off purchases of $75 or more online and in-stores. Sephora VIB and Insider members can save $20 and $15 off purchases of $75 or more respectively from December 5 through December 17.
Whether you're a Rouge, VIB, or Insider member, just use the code "2019HOORAY" during checkout and be on your merry way. Best of all, there's no limit to how many times the code can be used — none.
There are some restrictions though. The sale doesn't apply to products from The Ordinary, Dyson, and MAC Cosmetics VIVA GLAM; in-store services like makeovers; purchases of gift cards; or FLASH, PLAY! by Sephora. There's also a limit to Morphe in particular — you're limited to five of the same items per purchase.
We've rounded up 27 great buys check out before the sale ends on December 17, as well as exclusive and limited-edition gift sets over here in case you need some more gift inspiration. And if you're looking for non-beauty gifts, take a look at all our gift guides here.
Here are the 27 best beauty, skin-care, and hair-care products to buy at Sephora's Beauty Insider sale:

Mario Badescu Facial Spray Travel Trio
Mario Badescu Facial Spray Travel Trio, $15
These cult-favorite facial mists are hydrating and refreshing, and the travel size means you can stash one at your desk or in your bag for a moment of zen whenever you want.
Tom Ford Lip Color Lipstick
Tom Ford Lip Color Lipstick, $55
If there's ever a time to splurge on a lipstick, it's now. We named Tom Ford's lipstick as our luxury pick in our lipstick buying guide because the rich formula is moisturizing and pigmented, and the packaging is minimal yet sleek.
NuFace Trinity + Eye and Lip Enhancer Attachment Bundle
NuFace Trinity + Eye and Lip Enhancer Attachment Bundle, $429 (valued at $474)
The NuFace Trinity is a cool microcurrent device that helps firm, lift, and define your jawline, cheekbones, forehead, and neck, while the eye and lip attachment can help target those smaller areas for smoother skin.
Velour Lashes Minimalist Mink Lash Collection
Velour Lashes Minimalist Mink Lash Collection, $29
I wore a pair of Velour mink lashes during my wedding and even my makeup artist was impressed by the quality. They're more expensive than most other fake lashes, but you can wear them up to 25 times. Depending on the style you choose, you can get as subtle or dramatic as you want.
Vitruvi Stone Diffuser
Vitruvi Stone Diffuser, $119
Sephora has a surprising selection of non-beauty items, one of them being this sophisticated essential oil diffuser. The silhouette is minimal and chic, and the blush color fits in with any decor; there's also a black and white colorway.
Clarisonic Facial Cleansing Brush
Clarisonic Skincare Mia Prima Facial Cleansing & Pore Minimizing Skincare Device, $99
Clarisonic Skincare Sonic Foundation Brush Head, $39
The Clarisonic Mia is the top pick in our cleansing brush buying guide because of its versatility. It helps clean skin better than your hands and cleanser alone, and if you switch out the brush heads, makeup artist Patrick Ta tells us that you can even use it for flawless makeup application.
La Mer Merry Little Miracles Set
La Mer Merry Little Miracles Set, $160
Yes, La Mer is expensive, but if you have skin that's drier than a desert, this kit of deluxe minis is worth the indulgence. The brand is never on sale, so this is a great opportunity to get some of its most popular items for less.
Olaplex Holiday Hair Fix Set
Olaplex Holiday Hair Fix Set, $58
I'm obsessed with Olaplex's hair products that are pretty much universally loved by people with all kinds of hair types. I am not, however, obsessed with the price, so this set is the perfect opportunity to pick up travel-sized versions of what I use daily.
Slip Silk Pillowcase
Slip Silk Pillowcase (Standard/Queen), $85
This ultra-silky pillowcase will make a great addition to your bed and help protect your skin from wrinkles and your hair from knotting and frizzing overnight.
Herbivore Jewel Box Mini Facial Oil + Serum Set

Find your next favorite facial oil and serum with this set of minis from Herbivore. They're made with 100% natural ingredients and target dryness, dullness, fine lines, and more.
Fresh Sugar Lip Legends Gift Set
Fresh Sugar Lip Legends Gift Set, $48
Fresh makes some of the best lip treatments I used for dry lips. Normally, each full-sized version costs $24, so this $48 set is a steal.
Charlotte Tilbury Matte Revolution Lipstick
Charlotte Tilbury Matte Revolution Lipstick, $34
If you're looking for a matte lipstick that won't dry out your lips, which is a hard thing to come by, Charlotte Tilbury's matte lipstick should do the trick. The Matte Revolution line of lipsticks is moisturizing, and the rectangular tip gives you better control over traditional pointed bullets when applying.
Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk Foundation
Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk Foundation, $64
This foundation has a huge following even just in my immediate circle of friends and here at Insider Picks. This weightless formula makes your skin look so smooth and silky without suffocating you. Everyone who's used it complains about the price, which is why this holiday is the perfect time to buy it.
Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask
Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask, $20
My lips are somehow always pretty dry and cracked, but this cult-favorite lip mask from Korean brand Laneige has helped make them so much softer. While the mask comes in a few different variations, nothing beats the scent (and flavor) of the original.
Hourglass Veil Translucent Setting Powder
Hourglass Veil Translucent Setting Powder, $46
This translucent setting powder buffs out to an undetectable finish, so it's great for many skin tones. It's talc-free, which is a major bonus and leaves your face looking natural and airbrushed at the same time.
Stila Stay All Day Liquid Eye Liner
Stila Stay All Day Liquid Eye Liner, $22
This felt tip liquid eyeliner is very easy to use and extremely helpful if you want to achieve a cat-eye. Liquid eyeliner is ideal for newbies too, though, because it's like drawing with a Crayola marker, but one that will stay on your face longer.
Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare Alpha Beta Universal Daily Peel
Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare Alpha Beta Universal Daily Peel, $88
This daily peel is incredibly easy to use, so it's perfect if you're lazy or short on time. Just swipe the pre-soaked pads across your face in a circular motion until completely. You can expect to see diminished fine lines as you continue to use the pads.

Sometimes, finding the right shade of neutral eyeshadows that works with your skin tone can be a hassle. Luckily, Huda Beauty has created three eyeshadow palettes with nine shades each so you can find your ideal palette.
beautyblender Pro
beautyblender Pro, $20
Not blending your makeup might as well be a sin. A beautyblender will help you apply and blend makeup with ease, and the black color is ideal for intensely pigmented products that would otherwise stain the classic pink shade.

The Beauty Insider sale is the perfect time to start stocking up on essentials. This lightweight moisturizer from Skin Laundry has hyaluronic acid and other proteins to moisturize your skin, ideal for dry and cold winters.
