There's not a day that goes by without me pinging our Beauty team on Slack for a great product suggestion. They're tapped into every launch and constantly testing the latest and greatest. So naturally, I consider their recommendations the ultimate guide to shopping Sephora's Savings Event.

Sephora's Savings Event kicks off on November 1 and runs through November 11. Rouge members can now access the sale and earn a 20 percent discount. Sephora VIB and Insider members can start shopping on November 5 and earn 15 percent and 10 percent discounts, respectively. As a little treat, everyone earns free shipping, and Sephora's in-house line, Sephora Collection, will be 30 percent off during the sale. Not a member? Don't worry—it's free to sign up. Oh—and all discounts will be applied when you use the code "SAVINGS" at checkout.

The picks below fall into a few key categories, like an eyeshadow stick that gives you the look of a smokey eye with one swipe and a hair treatment that handles frizz with a few spritzes.

The prices below are before the discounts are applied. And if you're looking for specific categories (like our favorite winter skin and makeup picks or the best on-sale beauty gift sets, including the cutest advent calendars, we've got you covered there, too)

Best Deals at a Glance

Face Products on Sale

Our favorite face products include a creamy concealer for mature skin—the NARS Cosmetics Radiant Creamy Concealer—that Beauty Director Hannah Baxter, calls "the last concealer you’ll ever need," and a cream blush from Merit that Senior Beauty and Fashion News Editor Halie LeSavage loves. "Merit calls this blush impossible to mess up, and I agree," she says. These sit alongside my personal favorite cream bronzer from Saie and a face palette from Dior Beauty I wore on my wedding day.

Lip Products on Sale

Lip care is possibly the most underrated step in my routine, but it's one of my favorites. Bobbi Brown's Crushed Lip Color is my favorite no-makeup staple, as is the Merit Shade Slick Gelée Sheer Tinted Lip Oil, which makes for an easy red lip this holiday season. Oh—and the Laniege tinted lip balm that took the internet by storm is also on sale.

Hair Products on Sale

Color Wow's Extra Strength Dream Coat Ultra-Moisturizing Anti-Frizz Treatment was the first product that Entertainment Director Neha Prakash sent me when I asked for options to include on this list. IGK's Expensive Hi-Shine Gloss Treatment came courtesy of Fashion Editor Lauren Tappan, who tested it this summer and named it one of Marie Claire's top hair glosses, bar none. The just-launched Dyson styling products? They're here, too.

Eye Products on Sale

The easiest way to elevate your makeup game is with a fun eyeshadow. At least, that's what I learned when I borrowed Urban Decay 24/7 Moondust Glittery Eyeshadow in the shade "Space Cowboy" from my sister while we got ready for Charli XCX and Troye Sivan's Sweat Tour in October. The brand's 24/7 Glide-On Waterproof Eyeliner Pencil has also been a longtime favorite in my routine and is one of the best eyeliners for the waterline.

LeSavage also dubbed Tower 28's tubing mascara one of the best waterproof formulas. "I cried four times while reporting on Taylor Swift at the Eras Tour for Marie Claire. (What can I say? "All Too Well" hits different,)" she says. "No one around me could tell, though."

Skincare Products on Sale

A perfected skincare routine is the basis of great makeup. Upgrade your regimen for the new season with these editor-approved picks. The Rich Cream from Augustinus Bader is one of those splurge-y products I only buy on sale (as is La Mer's Crème De La Mer Moisturizer). Dieux's Baptism Gentle Foaming Facial Gel Cleanser With Glycerin, also below, came recommended from both Baxter and LeSavage, so you know it's worth testing.

Fragrance on Sale

Our team is pretty fragrance-obsessed, so the recommendations came pouring in. Brooke Knappenberger, Marie Claire's Associate Commerce Editor, called KAYALI's Vanilla 28 Eau De Parfum one of her favorite vanilla scents. "I’m a vanilla perfume girl through and through, and despite how many I have in my collection, this is the one I turn to the most," she says.

Baxter, on the other hand, prefers an underrated pick: The Maker's Lover Eau De Parfum. "I never receive more compliments on a scent than when I’m wearing this bad boy," she says. "It’s lush and woody, with vibrant top notes of fig and jasmine and a sensual oud base."

I prefer an unexpected gourmand scent from Glossier's You range that's already a staple in my collection (and one of our top October beauty launches). Oh—and Taylor Swift's favorite Tom Ford perfume is also on sale.
