A hydrating serum and filtered showerhead: what we’re adding to cart during the Sephora sale

This past year we’ve tested 11 beauty advent calendars, 31 lip balms, 15 body lotions and asked dermatologists to recommend the best hydrating skincare products and non-toxic sunscreens.

Many of our favorites are included in Sephora’s semi-annual sitewide sale, where nearly everything on its site is 10% to 20% off with code ALLONSALE , and Sephora Collection items are 30% off.

You’ll need a Sephora membership to participate, but signing up is free. The savings event starts on 30 October for Rouge member tier (those spending $1,000 per year) and 3 November for the lower tiers. Your exact discount depends on your tier, but we’ve listed the 10% sale price for Insiders, the beginner tier. (If that’s you, bookmark this story to return to on 3 November!) Here are 12 items we would grab before the sale ends on 9 November.
