Well, now the wait is finally over — kicking off one of the two biggest Sephora sales of the year, the mass retailer is treating VIB Rouge members with early access to exclusive deals by offering 20 per cent off all purchases with the promo code SPRINGSAVE, until May 1.

Caudalie Vinopure Natural Salicylic Acid Pore Minimizing Serum

“If you’ve ever asked me for skincare advice, chances are I’ve recommended this serum to you because it is hands-down the best thing that has ever happened to my skin. I have combination skin and my oily T-zone is my most problematic skin concern — I suffer from large pores on my cheeks, nose and in between my brows. Thanks to its salicylic acid-rich formula, I've been able to manage blackheads, breakouts, and excess oil. While I find it a bit sticky and tacky, it manages to keep my skin looking clean and shine-free throughout the day under my makeup.” — Alyssa Tria, Shopping Editor

Farmacy The Beehive: Best-Sellers for Glowing Skin

“When it comes to makeup and skincare, I’m usually a fan of the less is more approach. I have a few favourite products that I’ll use on repeat, and will usually only switch things up for special occasions. To keep my skin looking its best now that I’m using even less makeup than usual, I’m most excited about ordering Farmacy’s The Beehive. This kit comes with miniature versions of the brand’s bestsellers, which I’ve already sampled and fallen in love with. I’m particularly excited to use the mini Honeymoon Glow serum on a regular basis for soft, glowing skin every day, without having to worry about getting through the whole bottle before it expires.” — Kate Mendonca, Shopping Editor

"I don't shop at Sephora often, but there are a few products that I like to stock up on whenever I can. I've been using the Too Faced Lip Injection Extreme Lip Plumper for years and always have it with me in my make-up bag. I like the clear gloss that turns your lips the perfect pink shade and unlike other plumpers, actually delivers noticeable results!” — Elizabeth Di Filippo, Lifestyle Editor

“I have problem skin and most serums make me break out — however, this Drunk Elephant one soothes my winter skin without causing pimples. While it’s technically a night serum, I’ve been working it into both my a.m. and p.m. routine since my skin is so dry right now due to neverending winter.” — Hilary Hagerman, Lifestyle Managing Editor

“I’ve only been taking my skincare and makeup really seriously for the last year, ever since I went into Sephora and got a consultation. This was the moisturizer that was recommended to me for my sensitive skin, and it’s been such a treasure. It absorbs quickly but leaves my skin feeling hydrated, and is so refreshing to put on in the morning after my serum. Since it has hyaluronic acid, I apply it only in the morning (so it doesn’t team up against me with my equally-loved REN toner), but that’s enough for it to do its magic and keeps my face looking work video call-ready throughout the day.” — Tori Floyd, News Editor

“I've been using this all winter and it has totally saved my skin. I put it on right after I get out of the shower, and it keeps my skin smooth and soft all day. It's an important part of my self-care routine, too — the calming scent helps me relax before I start my day.” — Michal Stein, Editorial Assistant

“I’ve been anxiously waiting to try the product that has launched Huda’s much-awaited foray into skincare. I’m a fan of most of her products - from lipsticks to liners, to eyeshadow palettes, she hasn’t let me down yet. I’m looking for a good exfoliant to help smooth my complexion and have heard some experts suggest that this is worth a try. The price is steep, so let’s hope the results are just as good!” — Farah Syed, News Managing Editor

“The Dr. Dennis Gross Stress Repair Face Cream was recommended to me by my incredible aesthetician back in February (shout out to Gee Beauty in Toronto) and my skin has absolutely loved it. It’s supposed to prevent visible signs of stress on your skin, like dullness, inflammation, worry lines and dry patches. I have pretty active skin because I deal with adult acne and this cream is exactly what I need to calm down redness, and keep my skin smooth and moisturized, without making me too oily. I’m usually more likely to use a serum over a cream, but this one is a game-changer.” — Elisabetta Bianchini, News Editor
