Sephora is having a big summer sale that kicked off last week and runs through July 7. It’s a good time to buy the stuff that has been sitting in your cart or finally test out that thing you’ve been seeing on your social feeds. As in Sephora’s earlier sales, a collection of products is discounted for the duration of the sale and then there are daylong deals you’ll have 24 hours to take advantage of — like 25 percent off shampoos and conditioners or deep discounts on moisturizers. Below, I’ve rounded up the best of the sales bin, much of which we’ve written about before.

Updated 4th July, 2025
Removed lots of sold out items, as well as items that were no longer on sale. Added new deals, like an oil-free moisturizer from Glow Recipe, and a value hair reset kit by Briogeo.

From $13

I can’t think of a time I’ve done my makeup in the past five years when this setting spray hasn’t been the last step in my routine. It’s a classic for a reason, which is why the discounted full size is already sold out. The mini-size is still in stock, though, ideal for traveling and endlessly refillable.

This hyaluronic-acid-infused moisturizer is a celebrity favorite, mentioned by drag queen Farrah Moan and, more recently, actress Victoria Justice. “Even if I don’t get a good night’s sleep, I’ll apply this and my skin looks more hydrated and youthful,” Justice says.

Beloved for its skin-clearing powers, this rarely on sale lactic-acid treatment is 25 percent off. It contains ingredients such as arnica and licorice root, which work together to fade hyperpigmentation and lighten dark marks over time.

During a recent call, cosmetic chemist Dr. Julian Sass name-checked this lip balm as his favorite. It comes in four subtle shades and doesn’t have the super-shiny finish most lip products have these days.
