What To Buy During The Sephora Holiday Savings Event

It’s time again for another Sephora Holiday Savings Event, also known to most of us as the Sephora VIB Sale. If you’re in need of any beauty products or you’ve had your eyes on a skincare or haircare device that costs quite a bit, now is a great time to take advantage of the sale.

If you missed out on the Friends and Family Sale, Here are some of the Holiday Kits/ Holiday Sets and other random beauty products that caught my attention.

Now Is The Time To Buy Your Big Ticket Items While They’re On Sale

Below are some of my favorite makeup, skincare, holiday candles, hair care, and skincare tools and devices that I found searching the Sephora site. I could have listed hundreds more products, but these are the ones that just really caught my eye. These are products that I personally use and LOVE and a few that I know are very popular and worth buying when on sale.

When You Can Shop The Sephora VIB Sale

The Sephora VIB Sale is a sale that allows you to shop based on your Beauty Insider level. The discount is also different based on what Beauty Insider Level you are. Below is information on each beauty insider levels and what the discount and dates are that are available for you to shop.

Sephora Beauty Insider Program Information

In order to shop this sale, you need to be a member of Sephora’s Beauty Insider program. It’s free to join and you earn points based on how much money you are shopping at Sephora. I used to be a Rouge member and would freak out if I wasn’t. Now, I just don’t care. HA! While they’ve made improvements to this program, I still think that Ulta has the best one out there!

Things To Know Before You Shop The Sephora VIB Sale

I’d suggest browsing the Sephora site and adding items to your cart. That way when it’s time for you to shop, you’ll have everything in your cart already. A lot of the times things will sell out. When shopping in store, I find this to be more of a problem then when I shop online. So I’ve already added items to my shopping cart so I’m ready to go!

Restrictions For The Sephora VIB Sale

The rules and restrictions for the Sephora Holiday Event are as follows:

One Dyson item and five Morphe items per SKU per transaction. Not valid on The Ordinary products, MAC Cosmetics VIVA GLAM products, NUDESTIX Anti-Bacterial Hand Sanitizer Gel products, on Instacart, on Instagram shopping, in-store services, previous purchases, purchases of gift cards, gift wrapping, packaging, taxes, or shipping & handling charges. 

Sephora Holiday Sales Event Discount Code

The code that you’ll use to shop the Sephora Holiday Savings Event will be HOLIDAYFUN!

Amazon Prime Day Deals

There’s been a lot of people talking about the 2020 Amazon Prime Day Deals. They’re finally here! So I took a look to see what I thought would be deals worth purchasing. Whether you’re shopping for yourself or maybe you’re getting some Christmas gifts purchased early, there are good deals to be found. Here are some items that caught my attention! *I will be updating this as I see more deals released!

Apple AirPods With Charging Case

The Apple AirPods are THE headphones to have these days. For some reason, they hurt my ears, but I seem to be in the minority with that opinion as everyone I know LOVES them.

These are normally $159 and are marked down to $119.00!

*If you’re looking for the Apple AirPods Pro, they’re marked down from $249.00 to $199.00!

iRobot Roomba Robot Vacuums

My Father-in-Law bought me a Roomba Vacuum and I fell in love. There are three different versions included in the Prime Day Deals, so take a look and see which one is what you’re looking for. I love that I can schedule my vacuum to clean on certain days and specific times and it’s just nice to walk away and let it do its job.

Kindle Paperwhite E-Reader

I always swore I’d never own an E-Reader, but wow times have changed. In the time of Covid, I’m so glad that I had an E-Reader on hand. I have a Kindle device and I read so many books. I didn’t have to leave my house to get them and it was amazing. Plus, the books are a lot cheaper than the actual physical copies.

I LOVE my Kindle. I’ve had it for about four years now and use it all of the time. Do I still buy regular books? YES! However, I love the Kindle Unlimited Subscription I have and I love the ease of buying a new book right on the device.

The Paperwhite is thinner, now “splash” proof and has a great battery life. I currently own the Kindle Oasis, because at the time it was the only Kindle device that was waterproof. If you’re interested in an Oasis, it’s got quite a few upgrades from the Paperwhite if you’re interested in that.

ZWilling J.A. Henckels Steak Knife Set

If you’re looking to upgrade your knife situation, this is a great set! We bought these last year as a gift and they’re so nice! The set includes 8 knives and a presentation box. (That’s what it’s called, I didn’t make that up, ha)

Normally $160.00 and marked down to $39.95

Beauty Deals Galore

There are a lot of good beauty deals to be found during the Amazon Prime Day Deals. Here are a few of the products that I think are worthy of picking up:

Neck and Shoulder Massager

It’s the best. It also makes a great gift! Trust me!

Prime Day Deals for Children

I know a lot of my readers have children or are buying for children. Here are some good deals that I found.

Prime Day Deals For When You Have Children

Things For The Home

Nintendo Switch Games

Coop Pillows

I’ve seen a lot of people talk about these pillows and how much they love them. They have both Queen and King sizes available. I have a feeling these will sell out quickly! $47.19-$51.99 ($59.99-$64.00)

My Picks For The Sephora Friends and Family Sale

Sephora Friends and Family Sale

The Sephora Friends and Family Sale, which saves you 20% on a one time purchase, starts today and lasts until October 18th. Some people know about it, some don’t. The trick with this sale is that you have to get a discount from an employee at Sephora. LUCKILY, I’ve got a link for you to get the coupon! Thanks to my good pal Vivienne for hooking us up!

*This sale has ended BUT The Sephora VIB Sale is starting soon! I’ve got all the details and the code that you’ll need to shop the sale!

Things I’d Buy During The Sephora Friends And Family Sale

My one piece of advice is to not shop just because there is a sale. Think long and hard and ask yourself if you really need anything. DO NOT GO INTO DEBT because of these sales. Sure I’ll suggest products and let you know there is a sale, but don’t ever feel pressured to shop. I simply share these sales because I know a lot of you already are shopping and this saves you money!

IF I was shopping, here are some of the items I’d consider picking up while you’re going to be getting a discount. Feel free to email me if you have any questions! info@simplystine.com or need any suggestions!

Olaplex Holiday Hair Fix Kit

My number one MUST BUY is the Olaplex Holiday Hair Fix Kit. This hair kit has the No 3 Treatment, the No 4 and No 5 Shampoo and Conditioner, and the No 6 Bonding Treatment. It’s only $60.00 (would normally be $84 if purchased separately) plus you’re going to get 20% off!

This hair kit is perfect for anyone who has damaged hair. I swear by the No 3 treatment and use it weekly. A couple of months ago I purchased the shampoo and conditioner and I really like them both. A little bit goes a long way with the shampoo and conditioner.

Makeup by Mario

Honestly, I just want to experience his products. The Makeup by Mario product line was created by the makeup artist who works with Kim Kardashian. Say all that you want about her, but her makeup is flawless! He is known for his contouring skills and I just LOVE following his career. I wish him all the success and his product line looks incredible!

Any Beauty Tool That You’ve Had Your Eye On

This sale DOES NOT apply to Dyson products sadly. I believe everything else is fair game! So if you’ve been eying a NuFace (which I personally use and love) or maybe you’ve looked into a GloPRO, now is the time! 20% off adds up to some major savings when you’re looking to invest in beauty tools!

PS I’ve already asked my stylist about the GloPRO Rejuvenating Scalp + Fuller Hair Therapy Set. I really want to try this as my hair has been thinning more and more in the past couple of years.

-Dream beauty tool that’s on my wishlist? This Dr. Dennis Gross All is Bright Faceware Pro Set. I’m dying to get my hands on this to try! SO SO SO expensive.

All The Holiday Sets/ Holiday Kits On Your Wishlist

Every year I put holiday kits on my wishlist and every year at least 75% of them are sold out by the time people are actually Christmas shopping. IF you’ve got your eyes on a set or kit that you really want, I’d buy it now. Even if you’re thinking of gifts for others, pick them up while they’re in stock.

A couple Holiday Kits that caught my attention:

  • amika New York Minute Hair Blow Dryer Set (I’m VERY interested in this brush hair dryer. It’s similar to my favorite revlon, but with better heat settings. I LOVE amika products) Did I mention it has a five star average rating!
  • Sephora sells the Pura Fragrance Diffuser that you guys know I love! They have a kit where it’s a Fragrance Diffuser with two Holiday scents and I LOVE IT! Will save you a bit under $20.00 with the discount!

Buy The Products You Regularly Use During The Sephora Friends and Family Sale

If I’m getting a discount, I use this opportunity to save on what I know I’ll be using regularly. Here are some items I use in my routines on the regular:
