Sephora's massive holiday savings event just dropped — and here's how you can score 20 percent off

Listen up, beauty lovers: The big day is finally here. Sephora’s big holiday savings event just launched, which means that today, you can score up to 20 percent off sitewide (with some exclusions, of course).
Sephora’s Beauty Insider program has three tiers, and the program is totally free to join. You earn a point per dollar spent.
The base level is Beauty Insider. Once you spend $350 — or accrue 350 points — you upgrade to a VIB. The highest tier is VIB Rouge, which you can achieve once you spend $1,000 per calendar year. It pays to be Rouge: You score free standard shipping (with no minimums), have first access to the sale, and get the biggest discount — 20 percent off.
Today the sale is open only to Rouge members. On November 3, it opens to VIB members (they’ll get 15 percent off). And on November 5 it opens to Insiders — those members receive 10 percent off — and continues till November 9 for all tiers.
Whether you have early access now or want to plan your list for later, here are items to keep an eye out for. Don’t forget to enter code HOLIDAYFUN at checkout to nab the savings.
Dr. Dennis Gross Alpha Beta Extra Strength Daily Peel
With over 6,000 reviews, 144,300 hearts, and countless before-and-after photos, it seems like a gross understatement to say that this peel really, truly works. The magic is in the two-step anti-aging formula, which first uses potent AHAs to exfoliate your skin, while the second step hydrates and smooths. As an added bonus, if you pick up the set with 30 treatments, you’ll receive five for free.
“Works wonders,” one reviewer shared. “My skin is really oily. I’ve used this for about 5 months now. My skin is no longer oily my pores are smaller. My makeup applies evenly on my skin. Overall awesome!”

Estée Lauder Advanced Night Repair Eye Supercharged Complex
If you just can’t ever get a full eight hours of shut-eye, this cream can help. It targets the visible effects of lack of sleep and pollution, plus it helps reduce puffiness, dark circles and most importantly, fine lines and wrinkles.
“Being a skincare specialist I am very critical of skincare products,” one shopper shared. “Trying hundreds upon hundreds of products this is a complete MUST. I am super picky about eye cream and this one works phenomenal!”

One shopper particularly praised the serum’s ability to combat dark spots, writing: “In less than a week, my dark spots faded significantly. I’ve had these stupid spots on my chin from acne breakouts since November of 2019! If only I could find something this good for my under eye circles!”
