Sephora’s VIB Beauty Insider Spring Sale 2021 is Now On. Here’s What to Buy
The Sephora Spring Sale is back! It’s the perfect time to stock up on all your favourites or try out the products that have been on your wishlist (I just ordered the Saie Dew Balm Highlighter!). Makeup and skincare junkies know that every April, Sephora hosts an epic two weeks of tiered discounts on almost everything in-store and online.
Since I have had so many people ask me for product recommendations on Instagram, I decided to put together a quick outline of everything you’ll need to know, as well as the items that I know and feel are worth the money.
If you’ve shopped the sale before, you’ll know that the savings roll out for different members, on different dates. To make things easy, I’ve outlined how it works below:
ROUGE Members: 4/9 – 4/19
VIB Members: 4/13 – 4/15
INSIDER Members: 4/15 – 4/19
Use code: OMGSPRING (for all members) in-store or online to take advantage but if you are shopping online through the sale there is free shipping on orders with code FREESHIPCA, or you can also get it in one hour with Buy Online, Pick up in-store.
If you’re planning to shop the sale, I hope you find this list helpful—and if you’re not in a financial position to spend right now—I completely hear you. (Please do not feel pressured to buy just because there’s a sale! There will always be more sales!)
P.S. I own and have tested every. single. thing. included below, which means they’ve been chosen because they have my stamp of approval. If you shop the sale, tag me in your stories! I want to see what you get!
What I’m Buying During the Sephora Sale

More Supergoop Unseen – this is one of my holy grail, must-have products. Obviously, SPF is the most important part of any anti-aging routine (post-skincare, pre-makeup!!) and Unseen is my favorite; so I decided to try out the other popular Glowscreen.
The Tata Harper resurfacing mask. I love this mask so much and always buy one during the sale. It brightens and tightens and just makes you GLOW, all why smoothing and refining the texture of the skin.
Farmacy is my other favourite. Their Green Clean cleansing balm is a holy grail fav. My all-time favorite cleanser. I’ve tried so many cleansers (many of them being so much more expensive!!) but always come back to this – it takes off all my makeup while leaving the skin so soft.
I am a big, big Olaplex person. I’ve been doing the No. 3 mask once a week and my hair is SO MUCH SOFTER. I was pleasantly surprised to see that it also meets Sephora’s clean standards.
If you want another alternative to Glossier Boy Brow, Benefit’s Gimme Brow is it. I’ve become a convert to this brow product, it fluffs them up, keeps the hair in place and they have so many shades for every brow colour instead of just Glossier’s three.
OK, I know this is very expensive for a hair tool, but it’s more than a styler. The Dyson AirWrap has two air wraps, a blow dryer, a volumizing brush, two paddle brushes and comes in a nice leather case! It just needs a hair straightener and it would be perfect in my opinion. If you were hoping to splurge on it, it never goes on sale, so take advantage of this discount.

I have three foundations I rotate frequently. One of them is Estee Lauder Stay In Place Double Wear and the second is IT Cosmetics CC Cream. It depends on how much coverage I need, plus IT Cosmetics CC Cream is great for travel, it’s a light tube.
Since 2018 I have been using this Dior Backstage Glow Palette ALL. THE. TIME. A little pigment goes a long way, it’s the perfect glow, I love it for summer nights, a winter pick me up and I can even use the shades for eye shadow if you don’t want to pack too much when traveling.
Another Dior product I am obsessed with is the Lip Glow, specifically in Raspberry. It’s my in-between compromise instead of lipstick, but also hydrating enough as a lip balm.
I can’t live without my Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask, grapefruit or berry are my flavours of choice. It’s hydrating, not greasy, comes with a tiny spoon to grab the product, and last a lonnnnng time.
This Briogeo Don’t Despair Repair shampoo and conditioner are always in my shower, I love this black female-owned business that comes out with amazing hair products constantly. Leaves my fine hair shiny and hydrated from roots to ends. The mask replenishes my dry hair in the winter and it doesn’t weigh it down.

You might have heard retinol is very important to any skincare regime after your mid-20s, and since I was still pumping for Rowan I tried out Caudalie’s Reservatrol-Lift line. A vegan alternative to retinol, it is gentle on my skin, and the Instant Lift Serum is one of the items to buy from this line. I also really love the night cream, but if I had to choose the serum is my go-to pick because it includes the patented resveratrol, hyaluronic acid and vegan collagen alternative.
One concealer I have been using consistently for five years now is my NARS Soft Matte Concealer. I find it’s the perfect coverage, oil-free has a lot of shade range, lasts forever and a great size. Plus it has supportive peptides, hyaluronic acid, and a protective cocktail of Vitamins A, C, and E.
This is a new product but I’m already sold! Ole Henriksen Wrinkle Blur™ Bakuchiol Eye Gel Crème is amazing. Essentially it’s a double-action eye crème that blurs the look of lines around the eyes with bakuchiol ribbons, peptides, and orchid stem cells.
Lastly the Kora Noni Glow Face Oil is essential in my skincare cabinet. Definitely recommend especially if you are concerned about ingredients and you want clean beauty or you have sensitive skin. It is so hydrating & makes you look super glowy, I always get compliments on my skin when I’m wearing just this!
Happy Shopping! xoxo Leslie
