Here Are Our Sephora Sale Top Picks —Including Latine-Owned Beauty Faves

From Latine-owned lip favorites to skincare and haircare picks, these seven Sephora sale finds are worth adding to your cart

October 30, 2026 - 11:49

Beauty lovers, the holiday season is almost here, and retailers are running some of their deepest discounts. Sephora runs a storewide sale only twice a year, and its second Beauty Insider Sale has just started—a good time to stock up on personal essentials or grab a gift set for less. Starting October 30, all Beauty Insiders get 30% off Sephora’s in-house, private-label Beauty Collection. Sephora and Rouge members get 20% off all purchases, while VIB members get 15% and Insiders get 10% starting November 3. The sale wraps up for all Insider tiers on November 9.

While some brands stocked at Sephora will likely run their own sales with equal or bigger discounts, the Beauty Insider sale appeals to shoppers who prefer to browse multiple brands—big and small, independent and otherwise—in one place while earning points and free samples. Hot tip: it’s also a great opportunity to spend any leftover Flexible Spending Account (FSA) funds in Sephora’s FSA-eligible skincare and beauty section.

Below are a handful of beauty and skincare essentials, including a few Latine-owned must-haves.

MAED Signature Lip Pigment Matte Liquid Lipstick

Stun everyone with this universally flattering, creamy matte liquid lipstick from model and actress Daenise Vasi. Its blue-violet undertones brighten your smile, while nourishing ingredients — cherry coffee seed oil, jojoba esters, and tucuma butter — keep the formula moisturizing and non-drying. ($36)

Gisou Vanilla Glaze Honey Infused Hair Perfume

Make a statement the moment you walk into a room with this Gisou hair perfume. A small spritz on dry hair goes a long way: it smells delicious — think creamy vanilla, milk, and musk — and leaves hair looking shiny and healthy, thanks to Gisou’s signature sustainably sourced hero ingredient, Mirsalehi Honey. ($44)

Glow Recipe Watermelon Glow Essentials Gift Set for Brightening & Hydration

Give the gift of a complete skincare routine with Glow Recipe’s four-step watermelon bestsellers, designed to smooth, brighten, and hydrate skin for a dewy glow. One note: this lineup includes active ingredients that can heighten skin sensitivity and stress your skin barrier. If you’re new to these products, patch test first, introduce one at a time, and don’t forget to wear sunscreen or protective sun gear. ($49)

AORA México Acaríciame Hydrating and Smoothing Solid Lip Gloss Serum

AORA México’s new Acaríciame Postres lip serum collection serves up two delicious-smelling shades that pay homage to Mexican desserts: Churros, a buildable sheer brown tint, and Cajeta, a nude caramel tint. Both formulas are glossy without being sticky, subtly plump the lips and come in a pink, reusable, giftable tin. ($28)

Danessa Myricks Beauty LIGHTWORK VIII Freedom Makeup Palette

Danessa Myricks Beauty has reached the eighth volume in its LIGHTWORK eye and face palette line, and for the third year in a row, the palette comes in its ingenious magnetic, stackable packaging. The mix of matte, metallic, and shimmer finishes—including the brand’s signature duo-chrome colors—makes it one of the most versatile versions yet. At $132, it’s pricier than your average makeup palette, but the color payoff, quality, and endless combinations make it well worth it.

Elemis Pro-Collagen Anti-Aging Marine Cream SPF 30

Protect your skin from dry weather with this intensely hydrating, spa-quality moisturizer from Elemis. After trying sample-sized doses for several months, I can attest that it keeps skin looking plump for hours, is gentle on my sensitive skin, and is clinically proven to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles — a worthwhile splurge. ($150)

K18 Biomimetic Hairscience: Detox + Repair Leave-In Molecular Repair Mask & Mini Detox Shampoo Gift Set

If you want salon-quality hair repair without breaking the bank, this K18 gift set has you covered. Whether your hair is damaged from heat styling, dyeing, bleaching, or hard-water exposure, the set’s mini detox shampoo and full-size leave-in hair mask will revive it. The color-safe, clarifying shampoo removes product buildup from the scalp, while the leave-in molecular repair mask restores strength and softness. ($75)
