Beauty lovers, ready your wallets because it's that time of the year again. Sephora's Savings Event for its Beauty Insider members is finally here, which means it's time to restock your favorite products while stretching those dollars.

The sale officially began today, Friday, October 27, for Rogue members who can take advantage of 20 percent off their purchase using code TIMETOSAVE at checkout. However, VIB and Beauty Insider members will have to wait just a few more days until Tuesday, October 31 to shop the sale and save 15 and 10 percent, respectively. All membership tiers, though, can score all Sephora brand products at 30 percent off once your tier's sale begins, and the promotion will run through Monday, November 6. If you're not already enrolled, anyone can sign up to become a Beauty Insider for free and save 10 percent starting October 31.

For existing members, now's the perfect time to redeem those membership points you've been stacking up. This sale only happens three times a year, so it's an excellent opportunity to snag rarely discounted items like the coveted Dyson Airwrap Multi Styler, new holiday gift sets, and the beauty retailer's popular advent calendar for a steal.

As a shopping writer, I get my hands on hundreds of beauty products a year and put them to the test. Only a select few end up on my beauty shelf, and below, I've shared some of the latest makeup, skincare, and hair care gems that have earned a rightful spot in my collection.

I've gotten serious about my body care this past year, and there are a few products that I come back to again and again. Sol de Janeiro Brazilian Bum Bum Cream leaves my skin feeling soft and supple. Whenever I need an extra boost of hydration, I've been turning to Oui the People's new Cheat Sheet Exfoliant Serum. I also suffer from the occasional dark spot, but Hyper's Skin Fade and Glow AHA Mask helps my complexion quickly recover—I even use it on my neck and chest. And thanks to Nécessaire's Deodorant Gel, I'm no longer self-conscious about how I smell throughout the day.

Danessa Myricks somehow managed to turn creamy pigments into long-lasting powder formulas, and you can experience the full effect with her Yummy Skin Blurring Buddies Set. The buildable blush adds the perfect pop of color, and the set includes a mini Blurring Balm Powder that lives in my purse for touchups. In case you missed it, Tower 28 released its Lip Drip Set with a limited-edition shade of its best-selling Lip Jelly. Chestnut (a warm brown color) has become my go-to shade for fall. You can achieve the TikTok-viral contour, too, with LYS Beauty's Cream Bronzer and Contour Stick. Merit's Mini Flush Balm Cream Blush Set is also worth checking out. You'll get two customer-loved hues and the new Sephora-exclusive shade Rouge in perfect travel-sized pods.

I've been going heavy with the hot tools lately, and my hair is paying the price. Thankfully, the Custom Recovery Conditioner Mask from Function of Beauty's Pro line lets me customize my routine with targeted Concentrates to help me deal with frizz and add volume. Adwoa's Melonberry Hair Milk Leave-In Conditioner also turns my kinky tresses into soft waves with just a few spritzes. I've always been a fan of powder-based dry shampoos, and lately, Crown Affair's The Dry Shampoo takes the cake. And I always finish off all of my 'dos with Bread Beauty Supply's Everyday Gloss.

This is not a drill; few exclusions to the sale apply, and fortunately, that doesn't extend to some of the pricier hair tools. You can snag viral devices like the Shark FlexStyle Multi-Styler for a fraction of the cost. And trust me when I say the new FrizzFighter Finishing Tool has been a game-changer for my blowouts. The Make Up For Ever 250 Extra Fine Eyeliner Brush is a surprisingly versatile little helper, too. I also like to use it to line my lips so my lipstick never bleeds. If you'll be traveling a lot this holiday season, try the Ries The Essential Refillable Travel Container to house your most essential formulas.
