Fine Print That Actually Matters

• Brand and quantity limits exist. Current Sephora FAQ notes quantity limits on select brands and tools during savings events. For example, limits have recently included Dyson and Shark tools and item caps for The Ordinary and Nutrafol. Check the product page before checkout because limits can vary by season.  

• BOPIS timing: Some Buy Online, Pick Up In Store orders placed after 11/3 may not qualify during this event. If you are picking up, place your order early.  

• Exclusions apply. Sephora flags exclusions on the event page and at checkout. Always scan the “Exclusions/terms apply” footnotes under the banner before you finalize your cart.  

How To Shop This Sale Like A Pro

1. Join Beauty Insider if you have not already. It is free and unlocks the discount tiers and the 30% off Sephora Collection.  

2. Stack smart: Use the code on staples you buy year-round, then add one or two big-ticket items you rarely see marked down.

3. Prioritize kits and jumbo sizes when the math makes sense. Value sets during this window often beat standard per-ounce pricing.

4. Check restock cadence: Items like viral lip oils, top cleansers, and hair repair treatments tend to sell out during Rouge access. Add to cart and order early if you are Rouge.

5. Make multiple small orders if you are waiting on restocks. The code is multi-use until the event ends.
