One of the perks of being a shopping editor is an inbox full of new beauty drops, celebrity collabs, and — most exciting of all — sales. And honestly, nothing makes my heart beat faster than those four little words: “Sephora sale now on.”
My top product recommendations:
- I use the Huda Beauty Lip Stain every single day, and nothing compares to it. Get it while it’s 15% less
- My favourite daily perfume is the Kayali Vanilla, currently 20% off
- I’m obsessed with K-beauty and you really can’t look past Sulwhasoo. Start with the cleanser for 15% off
As someone who basically lives between Mecca and Sephora, I’ve made peace with the fact that my “quick browse” always ends with at least one new lipstick, a serum I definitely don’t need, and a perfume that smells like a rich European summer.
Between Rare Beauty, Haus Labs, Huda Beauty and Kayali, I’ve got a cart full of bestsellers and a wish list that has my wallet crying for help.
Whether it’s finding a dupe for that viral TikTok foundation or finally splurging on the fragrance that’s been haunting your FYP, these sales are when I really justify my job title. Because if I can’t call it “research,” what’s the point?
So, if you’re ready to glow, gloss, and glam on a budget, here’s your cheat sheet to the beauty buys actually worth adding to cart this week.
The best Sephora sales in 2025
From November 25 until December 1, Sephora is offering up to 50% off selected items, with the likes of Rare Beauty, Kayali, Haus Labs, Fenty Skin and more included. Basically, a great excuse to finally grab everything you’ve been “just adding to wishlist.”
- Gold Tier: 20% off, no minimum spend
- Black & White / Non Beauty Pass Members: 15% off, no minimum spend, or 20% off with $120 minimum spend
- Up to 50% off selected items
And because a Sephora sale loves to see me coming (my wallet, not so much), I’ve gone ahead and curated an edit of all the beauty buys actually worth adding to cart.

Sephora’s biggest sales usually hit twice a year in Australia:
– Beauty Frenzy / Mid-Year Sale: Usually June–July, with discounts like 20% off when you hit a minimum spend.
– Black Friday / End-of-Year Sale: Around late November, timed with Black Friday and Cyber Monday, perfect for stocking up on all the beauty goodies.
There are sometimes smaller brand-specific or online-only promotions throughout the year, but these two events are the ones to mark in your calendar if you want the best deals.
Yes, and it’s one of the best times to stock up on your favourite beauty items!
Last year, Sephora had 15% off sitewide with no minimum spend, or 20% off when you spent $120 or more. This year is even bigger (and better) with up to 60% off.
Perfect for grabbing everything on your wishlist (and maybe a little extra).
