Does it feel like Black Friday is becoming a month long event or is it me? The last two years it feels like Black Friday just runs all month long. You won’t get a better deal from Dr Brandt this Black Friday or Cyber Monday as they are having a killer sale with 40% off sitewide using promo code BF23EARLY. 40% Off is a pretty generous offer. I just hauled a little backup tube of Dr Brandt Microdermabrasion Skin Exfoliant. I know, I know not the most gentle of exfoliants but I dearly love it. It just makes my face so smooth.
Enjoy!
Sephora Holiday 2023 Savings Event starts now for Rouge, VIB, and BI members with the promo code TIMETOSAVE. There are a lot of different sets popping up from all your favorite brands which means the Sephora Holiday Savings 2023 Savings Event is a great time to haul hem! Today is the FINAL DAY TO SAVE!
What are the dates for the Sephora Holiday Savings Event 2023? Sephora has confirmed the dates for the Savings Event and they are as follows:
Sephora Savings Event 2023 for Rouge October 27 to November 6th 20% Off
Sephora Savings Event 2023 for VIB October 31st to November 6th 15% Off
Sephora Savings Event 2023 for Insiders October 31st to November 6th 10% Off
You’ll be able to shop on these days and use code TIMETOSAVE at checkout for the discount. If you don’t have a Sephora Rewards account it’s free to join and you’ll end up at the Insider level where you can still enjoy a discount!
The date of the Sephora Holiday Savings Event has gotten earlier and earlier with each year we head into and with good reason. They want you to shop early and take advantage of a lot of the gift sets they have on offer only to later cut prices on those gift sets as an incentive to get you to spend a second time around after the sale. Not to mention they start releasing new products AFTER the sale to again get more money from you plus Spring 2024 launches start popping up around December as well.
By some miracle I’m still a Rouge Rewards Member but I’m unsure if I’ll make it to Rouge again this year because like many of you I’ve migrated to Ulta because the rewards are better and they started carrying many of the brands Sephora has. However, Sephora still gets a few dollars from me here and there due to the fact they carry a larger fragrance collection and do have certain brands Ulta does not.
Last year, I didn’t really do a HUGE Holiday Sales Haul but they did end up doing away with their Reward Bonus and replaced it with another 20% off. Typically the Rewards Bonus was $20 off $50 for Rouge/VIB and $15 off $50 as a BI. People definitely missed that last year and preferred it over 20% off sitewide. I suspect they’ll stick with the 20% off and we likely won’t see the Rewards Bonus again.
I did a few recommendations and guides for anyone who is interested which I linked here as well as FAQ.

Don’t Buy Everything
As tempting as 20% Off at Sephora sounds try not to go too crazy as many brands start churning out Spring sales at or around the same time as the Sephora sale and you might save bigger if you shop from those brands directly.
Are there any freebies or gifts with a purchase?
Sadly, Sephora has done away with the free makeup bags they used to do and nothing free is available during the sale.
Do you plan on shopping at the Sephora Holiday Savings Event 2023?
What’s on your wish list?
Serious question. Are still eyeshadow palette people? Or are we over them? I’m somewhere in between myself. Some days I’m all, “GIVE ME ALL THE COLORFUL EYESHADOW PALETTES!” and other days I’m, “I want simplicity! I’m good with one or two single shades!” Whether or not you’re Team Eyeshadow Palette or not we can’t deny that they haven’t been trending nearly as they did a few years ago. I remember new palettes were releasing weekly a few years ago and it got overwhelming pretty fast. Tarte, Urban Decay, and even Too Faced on some level still try hard to make palettes a thing. Tarte is especially guilty of this and really wants to push mega eyeshadow palettes at us quite often (but not nearly as much as they once did). Love them or hate them eyeshadow palettes still do dominate the market and single shades really never did make a strong come back in the mid or even high-end makeup world.
And even though you probably don’t need anymore eyeshadow palettes some may tempt you during the Sephora Holiday Savings Event 2023. Here are a few that might just get into your cart this week. Let me know if you agree!
The Sephora Sale ends tomorrow and you still have time to save using code TIMETOSAVE to get 25, 15, or 10% Off depending your on your rewards status! I did a few concealer picks if you need to check out something new during the sale!
Kulfi Main Match Crease-Proof Long-Wear Hydrating Concealer
Grab it, don’t think about it. I love this stuff. This is very hydrating, has a great color match for me, and it’s pigmented. I think it’s rare to see a good pigmented concealer that’s also hydrating but this manages both!
Haus Labs Triclone Skin Tech Hydrating + De-puffing Concealer with Fermented Arnica
Ok, I feel bad about this one because I haven’t tried it yet! EEP! I was going to buy it when it originally launched and I tucked it up in my cart but never got around to actually ordering it. I’ve heard so many wonderful things now is the time to give it a go right?
Tower 28 Beauty Swipe All-Over Hydrating Serum Concealer
Ok, so this is one of this fantastically hydrating concealers that doesn’t quite have as much pigment as I want. BUT I love it. It’s actually really super smooth, blends like a dream, but I just wish it had a smidge more pigment. This is a great weekend concealer when I’m not wearing a ton of makeup!
Makeup by Mario SurrealSkin Awakening Concealer
Another concealer that got added to my cart and just never got brought home! I hear AMAZING things about this one but just haven’t had the time to try it for myself. I will now!
Kaja Cat Nap Under Eye Brightener
You’ve heard me rave it before and I’ll rave it again! This isn’t quite a concealer but more of an under eye brightener! You can use it in conjunction with concealer but I personally like it all by itself! Pat some on and the eye area looks brighter and smoother!
KVD Beauty Good Apple Lightweight Full-Coverage Concealer
If you serious pigment and serious coverage this is it. Love this stuff for brighter eyes! It conceals everything and I’d prob go so far as to say it’s nearly as pigmented as Tarte Shape Tape if not more so! It can be a smidge tricky to work with if you have drier eyes so prepping is key but if you put in the prep work you’ll be rewarded with well concealed eyes!
KVD Beauty Good Apple Lightweight Full-Coverage Concealer Shade 119
Valentino Very Valentino 24 Hour Wear Hydrating Concealer
The hype, the raving reviews, it seems real! I just need to check this out for myself to verify it all! Apparently this is the one you want for drier, mature eyes!
ONE/SIZE by Patrick Starrr Turn Up the Base Butter Silk Concealer
I sometimes forget how good this is. It’s quite pigment as per the name it really is like butter! Super creamy, easy to blend! I’m actually guilty of using it as a concealer sometimes. Do try this one if you haven’t already!
Rose Inc Softlight Clean Dewy Hydrating Concealer
ANOTHER one I feel like I don’t talk a lot about. This is actually amazing stuff. VERY very creamy! Hydrating and blends really well not to mention beautifully pigmented!
Saie Hydrabeam Brightening + Hydrating Creamy Under Eye Concealer
It’s been on my wish list a bit too long! Definitely drying this one as I hear it’s super brightening but also hydrating and your girl is dry so she needs all the moisture she can get.
Yves Saint Laurent All Hours Creaseless Precise Angles Concealer
I happen to go hard for the original All Hours Concealer. I wish I could get my hands on my shade one final time and stock up on it because I loved that stuff. It was thin yet hydrating and it brightened up my entire eye area! If you read my review of it a long time ago you likely grabbed a tube for yourself as I raved it hard. I haven’t yet tried the new version! I think I’ve been scared it might disappoint me but now I’m headed in for a purchase finally. Have you tried this one?
So, tell me, what’s on your concealer wish list? Anything I should try?
