When Is the Next Sephora Sale?
We expect the Sephora Friends and Family sale to be the next big Sephora sale to drop. This typically occurs in mid-August and provides shoppers with a 20% off discount. Last year, for example, this sale ran from Aug. 11 to Aug. 20. In the meantime, you can get 5% cash back on your Sephora purchases sitewide.
For all beauty enthusiasts, from skincare aficionados to makeup lovers like us, exploring Sephora feels akin to a child wandering through a toy store. Each aisle and every online page reveals a treasure trove of coveted products – from beloved brands to exciting newcomers just waiting to be tried.
However, there’s a bit of a dilemma. While Sephora has our hearts, our wallets often crave some TLC as well. That’s why we’ve dedicated countless hours to combing through the Sephora sale section and researching how to score free makeup samples and save money during our beauty shopping sprees.
Now, we’re delving into new, enticing savings territory: the elusive yet magical Sephora sale calendar. We’ve been diligently taking notes and conducting in-depth research to uncover when Sephora hosts its biggest sales and the exclusive perks each event offers.
Here’s everything you need to know about snagging Sephora deals and satisfying your beauty cravings while keeping your budget intact.
How Do Sephora Beauty Insider Sales Function?
To begin, let’s provide an overview of how Sephora conducts its sales. With the exception of select events like the Oh Snap! Sale and certain national holidays such as Black Friday and Cyber Monday, Sephora primarily limits its sales to members of its Beauty Insider rewards program.
OK, so that’s the bad news. The good news is that the Sephora Beauty Insider program is free to join, and there’s no minimum spend to qualify. Joining Beauty Insider takes about 10 seconds, or less than the time to pop on a fresh layer of Birthday Confetti-flavored Lancome lip gloss (just saying).
As a Sephora Beauty Insider member, you earn points on all your purchases, which you can exchange for samples, freebies and other rewards. The number of points you earn on different purchases depends on your level of membership.
Sephora Beauty Insider Membership Tiers
The Sephora Beauty Insider program is divided into three membership tiers:
Sephora Insider
Sephora automatically grants Insider status upon joining the Sephora Beauty Insider program. This free entry-level membership earns you 1 point for every dollar spent on Sephora purchases. One of the most attractive benefits of Insider status is access to several exclusive Sephora Beauty Insider sales events, including the Sephora Spring Sale and the VIB Holiday Bonus Sale, though not all events are available.
Sephora VIB
You are automatically upgraded to VIB status (Very Important Beauty Insider) when your total spending at Sephora reaches $350 or more within a calendar year. VIB status allows you to earn 1.25 points for every dollar spent on purchases. Additionally, VIB members gain access to all Sephora Beauty Insider sales events, including the Sephora Spring Sale, Summer Bonus Sale, and VIB Holiday Bonus Sale.
Sephora Rouge
You achieve VIB Rouge status automatically when your spending at Sephora exceeds $1,000 within a calendar year. At the Rouge level, you earn 1.5 points for every dollar spent on purchases. Furthermore, Rouge members enjoy early access to all Sephora Beauty Insider sales events, including the Sephora Spring Sale and VIB Holiday Bonus Sale.
Annual Sephora Sale Dates in 2024
Like many major retailers, Sephora throws sales on national holidays like Black Friday and Cyber Monday. But Sephora also celebrates a few of its own annual sales holidays — many of which are only available to Beauty Insiders. To make sure you never miss even a single opportunity to score Sephora on sale, mark these annual Sephora sale events on your calendar:
January
Sephora Skincare Sale
The Sephora Skincare Sale stands as a direct competitor to Ulta’s Love Your Skin Event in January. During this event, Sephora provides shoppers with a 50% discount on a different skincare brand each day. However, it is essential to act quickly, as each deal is only available for 24 hours. In 2024, this highly anticipated event began on January 2 and continued through January 17. Featured brands included Kiehls 851, Origins, Murad, and Tula Skincare.
Sephora End-of-Year Sale
The End-of-Year Sale builds upon Sephora’s After-Christmas Sale, offering up to 50% off a wide variety of holiday products and more. This sale coincides with Sephora’s first significant sales event of the year, the Skincare Sale.
Sephora Beauty Insider Birthday Gifts
At the beginning of January, Sephora reveals what you will receive as a free birthday gift for the calendar year! When your birthday month comes around, as a Beauty Insider member, you can choose a free gift from among the list of gift options for that year.
February
Sephora Presidents’ Day Sale
As winter lingers and beauty enthusiasts count the days until spring, Sephora’s Presidents’ Day Sale arrives to lift our spirits. Taking place around mid-February, this sale features discounts of up to 50% on a wide array of products, including makeup, fragrances, skincare, hair care, and beyond. Additionally, Sephora typically offers free shipping with no minimum purchase required.
March
Sephora Oh Snap! Spring Sale
Sephora introduced its Oh Snap! Sale in 2020, aiming to rival Ulta’s biannual savings event, 21 Days of Beauty. This sale is accessible to all shoppers, not just Beauty Insiders. In the previous year, the event commenced on March 9 and continued until the end of the month.
Throughout this sale, Sephora features one to three top-selling beauty products at a 50% discount each day, along with promotions on Sephora Collection items. Typically, shoppers are limited to two purchases of the same product. Notable brands that have been featured in past sales include MAC, Urban Decay, Clinique, Too Faced, and Smashbox.
April
Sephora VIB Sale
April may not be a major shopping month, but it’s undoubtedly one of the best times to find great deals on beauty products! One of Sephora’s most awaited events, the Sephora Spring Event, takes place in April both online and in stores, offering discounts on nearly all items.
In 2024, the event began on April 5 and concluded on April 15, with various promotions launching on different dates. The available savings included:
- Insider: 10% off your entire purchase from April 9
- Rouge: 20% off your entire purchase from April 5 to 15
VIB:
- 15% off your entire purchase from April 9 to 15.
- Sephora Collection: 30% off from April 5 to 15

Sephora Memorial Day Sale
The long holiday weekend sale kicks off at the start of summer. And so does Sephora’s Memorial Day Sale. This year, it ran through May 27 and included deals on brands like Peace Out, OLEHENRIKSEN and Fresh.
June
June tends to be a quiet month for savings at Sephora. You will see plenty of promotions on individual products in the Sale section. But there isn’t a major sale to shop. We will keep you posted if June 2025 presents major saving opportunities at Sephora!
July
Sephora Summer Deal Week
This July, Sephora changed things up a bit and hosted its first-ever Summer Deal Week – which overlapped with the Fourth of July holiday. This sale kicked off on July 4 and ran through to July 10.

August
Sephora Friends and Family Sale

Sephora 7 Days of App Deals

This sale tends to start at the end of August and run through to the first week of September. We will share an update with you as soon as we know the 2024 dates.

November
Sephora VIB Sale (Holiday Savings Event)
Yet another Beauty Insider member-exclusive sale, the Sephora VIB Holiday Bonus sale, is open to all membership tiers on virtually everything online and in stores. In 2023, the annual Holiday Savings Event kicked off on Oct. 27 and lasted through Nov. 6; in 2022, it started Oct. 28 to Nov. 7; and in 2021, it started Nov. 5 to Nov. 15. In 2024, we expect the sale to have a late October to early November timeline.
As with other Beauty Insider sales, the Sephora VIB Holiday Bonus sale rewards higher membership tiers with greater savings – and earlier access to deals Here is a breakdown of what we saw last year:
- Rouge: 20% off your entire purchase, from Oct. 27 – Nov. 6
- VIB: 15% off your entire purchase, from Oct. 31 – Nov. 6
- Insider: 10% off your entire purchase, from Oct. 31 – Nov. 6
- Sephora Collection: 30% off, from Oct. 27 – Nov. 6.
Sephora Cyber Week Sale
In recent years Sephora has hosted a Cyber Week sale that kicks off before the Black Friday sale begins and wraps up after. During this time, Sephora tends to have special promotions available for specific brands and products, like Fenty Beauty, Tarte and Kiehls.
Sephora Black Friday Sale
In addition to Cyber Week savings, Sephora always holds a Black Friday sale — with savings for everyone, not just Beauty Insider members. Sephora’s Black Friday sale usually takes place on Thanksgiving and Black Friday specifically. During Sephora’s Black Friday 2024 sale, we expect to see a sitewide discount available to Beauty Insiders and impressive product deals available to all shoppers.
December
Sephora Cyber Monday Sale
Falling on the Monday after Thanksgiving, Cyber Monday is the retail world’s online-centric version of Black Friday. In the tradition of Cyber Monday sales, this Sephora holiday sale comprises a series of online-exclusive deals to tempt the savvy holiday shopper. This one, too, is open to all holiday shoppers hoping to score Sephora on sale – and sometimes you’ll find extra savings in the app.
Sephora Gifts for All Events
Sephora’s “For All Event” is exactly what it says — All Sephora Beauty Insiders tiers have the opportunity to save during the event. The “Beauty for All Event” made its debut in 2021 shortly after Cyber Monday. In 2023, the “Gifts for All Event” popped up on Dec. 1 and lasted through Dec. 10. Meanwhile, the Fragrance for All Event started on Dec. 13 and lasted through Dec. 24. The gifts event gave all Beauty Insiders 20% off their entire purchase and 30% off the Sephora Collection; the fragrance event gave them 20% off full-sized scents.
Sephora After-Christmas Sale
Beginning the day after the holiday gifts have been unwrapped, Sephora kicks off its after-Christmas sale, offering an additional 20% off on select beauty products. It’s the perfect opportunity to stock up on beauty must-haves or grab those gifts that Santa may have overlooked. In 2023, this exciting sale commenced on December 26 and concluded on January 1, 2024.
Other Ways to Save at Sephora Between Events
You can find significant savings at Sephora if you shop strategically during key times and with the right membership tier. The sales mentioned above are just a glimpse into the range of promotions, freebies, and special offers that Sephora provides its customers throughout the year. Here are a few ways to save every time you shop at Sephora:
1.Explore Sephora Sales and Offers
If you’re shopping at Sephora outside of its major sales events, head over to the Sephora sale section on the website, where you can discover deals on beauty products, hair care, skin care, and more. The sale page is user-friendly and can be filtered by product type, ratings, and price.
The Beauty Offers page on Sephora.com is undoubtedly our favorite location on the site (if not the entire internet). Here, you’ll find a regularly updated selection of free items and other perks, including free shipping and point multiplier codes.
Additionally, don’t forget to check the Sephora app, as certain promotions are exclusively available there.
2.Explore the Sephora Collection
Consider the Sephora Collection as an endless sale at Sephora, offering top-notch proprietary beauty products at incredibly low prices. Whether you’re in search of retractable waterproof eyeliner, vegan eyelashes, or coconut foot masks, this collection has everything your beauty-loving heart craves – all for less.
3.Sign Up for a Sephora Credit Card
If you want to save a whopping 25% on your first purchase, then sign up for a Sephora Credit Card. You’ll earn 4% back in rewards when you shop at Sephora both in-store and online and earn two times Beauty Insider Points per $1 you spend at Sephora and other perks. The key, however, is to pay it off every month so you don’t incur interest charges that eat into your initial discount.
