Sephora Is Having a Huge Summer Sale. Here’s What’s Worth Buying.
The summer heat often calls for a switch-up in your skin-care and makeup routine, so it’s a great time to try a lightweight moisturizer, a new sunscreen, an air-dry cream, or bronzy summer makeup. And now is the best time to buy at Sephora.
The Sephora Major Summer Deals event is going on now through June 23. Tons of products are on sale — up to 50 percent off. Plus Beauty Insiders can earn 500 bonus points when they spend $75 in one transaction and use the code POINTSPLUS.
I combed through all the deals and pulled together a list of the products I’d jump on while they’re deeply discounted.

We removed some deals that ended or sold out and added a new batch of sales, including St. Tropez’s Self-Tan Express Bronzing Mousse and Ouai Detox Shampoo.

Let’s be real: A topical treatment isn’t a long-term fix for neck-skin laxity and a softer jawline. But plying the neck with major hydration and temporary skin-tightening ingredients such as caffeine can make the skin in these areas appear firmer for a short while. This mask works in just 20 minutes and is great before an event.
