We like saving money [1] as much as the next person; we especially love when we stumble upon products we wanted at full price that are now marked down. Plus, the holidays brought some a little gift money, and there's extra space in our beauty bags after Marie Kondo-ing the whole house [2] for a fresh start to 2020.
Sephora has a sale going on right now [3] so we've picked out our favourite items priced 20 to 50 percent off. There are even limited-edition sets from brands like Kiehl's, Drybar, and Fenty Beauty by Rihanna [4], and now's a great time to try something new with a little less (financial) risk.
Finally get what you really hoped [5] to get as a gift . . . by buying those haircare [6], skincare [7], and makeup [8] goodies for yourself. Check out the best things on sale at Sephora right now, before they're all gone.
Dr. Jart+ 7 Day Mask Experiment Kit
Getting a deal on the top-rated Dr. Jart+ 7 Day Mask Experiment Kit [9] ($28, originally $39) leaves you with a different option for every day of the week and for seven different skincare concerns. There are solutions to bring about brighter, clearer, smoother, and more hydrated skin, so you can keep a mask on hand for whenever you need extra help on any of those things.
Fenty Beauty by Rihanna Killawatt Foil Freestyle Highlighter Palette
The much-loved Fenty Beauty by Rihanna Killawatt Foil Freestyle Highlighter Palette [10] ($27, originally $54) is on sale now so you know what to do if you want your face to shine bright like many different frosty, metallic jewels (and not just like a diamond).
Sephora Collection Sephora PRO Warm Palette
If you want to try out a ton of new eyeshadows in one kit, several of the Sephora collection jumbo palettes — featuring 28 shades each — are on sale at this time. If you like warmer-toned shades, there's the Sephora PRO Warm Palette [11] ($45, originally $68) and the Sephora PRO New Nudes Palette [12] ($45, originally $68). For bolder, brighter options, there are plenty of those inside both the bright Sephora PRO Editorial Palette [13] ($45, originally $68) and the jewel-toned Sephora PRO Smokey Jewels Palette [14] ($45, originally $68), too.
Kiehl’s Since 1851 Hydration Essentials
The Sephora sale now includes Kiehl's Since 1851 Hydration Essentials [15] ($23, originally $30), which means you can get four of the brand's essentials for an even lower price (as the items are valued at $41 regularly). It doesn't need to be the holidays to appreciate gifting (yourself) travel-sized containers of the Ultra Facial Cleanser, Ultra Facial Cream, Crème de Corps, and Lip Balm #1.
Drybar Party of Four
While the Drybar Party of Four [16] ($40, originally $50) brings you party-ready hair, no party is actually needed to appreciate this gift set. The Prep Rally detangler, Hot Toddy heat protecting spray, and Triple Sec finishing spritz can be used on the daily, while the Detox dry shampoo will come in handy those times when you just aren't up to washing your hair.
Yves Saint Laurent Volupté Plump-in-Colour Plumping Lip Balm
All colours of the Yves Saint Laurent Volupté Plump-in-Colour Plumping Lip Balm [17] ($26, originally $39) have cooling peppermint oil along with moisturising hyaluronic acid and coconut oil in a black heart-shaped core . . . but each one is boldly different. There are luscious fuchsia, orange, coral, champagne, and nude shades still on sale now.
Saturday Skin Eye Candy
Save on four Saturday Skin essentials with this Eye Candy [18] set ($40, originally $50). There's the Rub-a-Dub Refining Peel Gel that exfoliates with fruit enzymes and the Wide Awake Brightening Eye Cream to reduce dark circles using date seed extract. There are also two products packed with probiotics and prebiotics for extra hydration and support for the skin's barrier: the Bright Potion serum and the Pretty Pop whipped cream moisturiser.
Ciaté London Glitter Storm Eyeshadow Palette
If you had your eyes on a sparkly eyeshadow palette for the holidays (or have a yearlong love for all things glitter), the newly discounted Ciaté London Glitter Storm Eyeshadow Palette [19] ($30, originally $42) brings nine shades to try out now. We won't blame you if there are stars in your eyes when you see the shimmery, glittery, and matte options inside the palette — and the snow-globe-inspired case, too.
Glamglow Supermud Super Clear Pore Clarifying Skin Set
Now is the time to get a great deal on the Glamglow Supermud Super Clear Pore Clarifying Skin Set [20] ($45, originally $65). Not only does the kit include the brand's bestselling activated charcoal clearing mask, there's also a bubbling sheet mask inside to help you get into a self-care routine in 2020. The four products (valued at $104 total) also include an exfoliating acid toner and an illuminating moisturiser.
Sephora Collection Clean Up Nice Antibacterial Spray
Make a fresh start to the new year [21] with this Sephora Collection Clean Up Nice Antibacterial Spray [22] ($7, originally $15). It not only kills germs and limits bacteria growth on beauty tools and brushes, it's quick-drying, too.
Nails Inc. Rolling With My Charm
This little Nails Inc. Rolling With My Charm [23] set ($9, originally $15) packs a glossy soft-pink polish and a glossy actual lip gloss. The nail polish leaves fingernails with a high-shine blush hue, and the lip gloss is actually rose-quartz-infused to wake up your heart chakra in addition to its glassy finish.
Kate Somerville Glow-Cation Destination: Radiant Skin
Not only is the Kate Somerville Glow-Cation Destination: Radiant Skin [24] ($60, originally $75) on sale now, it's a great remedy for the winter-weary skin many of us face now. Dry, dull skin is banished by active pineapple, pumpkin, and papaya enzymes that cleanse and exfoliate, and then the new freshness is preserved with a plumping, wrinkle-fighting serum/moisturiser combo.
Benefit Cosmetics Brow Contour Pro
Benefit Cosmetics' brow pencils, gels, and powders are popular for good reason at full price . . . but there are still shades of the Brow Contour Pro [25] ($17, originally $34) available on sale now. Each of these four-in-one defining and highlighting brow pencils feature a lighter and deeper shade to bring dimension to your brows, alongside an edge-definer and arch-highlighter to clean and shape them.
Briogeo Next Level Hair — Dry Hair Duo
Here's a chance to try two popular moisturising Briogeo haircare products in the Next Level Hair — Dry Hair Duo [26] set ($11, originally $16). There's the mineral-rich Don't Despair, Repair shampoo — featuring algae extract to strengthen hair and protect the scalp — plus a leave-in deep-conditioning mask with argan oil, collagen, and silk that leaves hair shiny and soft.
Marc Jacobs Beauty The Glow Show: Skincare and Makeup Set
The limited-edition Marc Jacobs Beauty The Glow Show: Skincare and Makeup Set [27] ($48, originally $69) offers a full-size skin retexturizing Youthquake moisturiser alongside three of the brand's popular beauty goodies.

First Aid Beauty Dive Into FAB
Picking up this First Aid Beauty Dive Into FAB [28] set ($30, originally $38) covers the exfoliating, hydrating, and priming steps of your skincare routine [29].

Kaja Cushy Vibe High-Pigment Lip Stain
If you are looking for a bold new lip colour, now's the time to get a deal on a Kaja Cushy Vibe High-Pigment Lip Stain [31] ($9, originally $18). The lipstick's special water-capture technology locks in lips' moisture for matte colour with a long-lasting, cushioned finish.
Clinique Sparkle and Glow
The Sparkle and Glow [32] set ($30, originally $40) includes both skincare and makeup goodies from Clinique. You can use the exfoliating cleanser before the hydrating jelly and eye cream for a clean, moisturised start. Then, at the end of the day, you can use the makeup-removing balm for your face and extra one just for lids, lashes, and lips to take off the day's makeup and head to bed with an extra-hydrating mask to help skin recover overnight. As a bonus, that makeup you take off can include the black liner and mascara also inside the box.
Kat Von D Shade + Light Eye Contour Palette
Contouring is not just for your face [33]. You can also contour your eyes with the Kat Von D Shade + Light Eye Contour Palette [34] ($36, originally $48) on sale now. There are neutral, cool, and warm colour stories offered in the kit, and a guide to walk you through this process if you'd like a little instruction on defining and enhancing your eyes this way.
Becca x Chrissy Teigen Endless Bronze and Glow
Sure, Summer is still months away, but now's the time to pick up the Becca x Chrissy Teigen Endless Bronze and Glow [35] ($23, originally $38).
