That means if you've been holding off on snagging a new jar of your favorite pricey moisturizer or trying that new tube of lipstick at a fraction of the price, now's your chance.

Rouge members, or those who have spent $1,000 at the store, will get the best discount, which is 20% off when coupon code OMGSPRING is entered at checkout. VIB shoppers, meanwhile, who have nabbed $350 worth of product from the store will get 15% off with the same code, while Insiders can partake in the code for a 10% discount, all through Monday, April 19.
Regardless of your tier status, you'll be able to snag best-sellers from the store's own Sephora Collection at 30% off. Additionally, those with a Sephora credit card will be able to get an even better deal, since they'll get double points on their purchases.
The only thing that's left to do is choose what products you'll use this stellar discount on. And lucky for you, we've already picked out the best of the best. What are you waiting for? Ahead, discover 17 top buys from this event.
1. A bottle of this editor-approved perfume
This delectable scent has earned thousands of Sephora hearts.
(Photo: Sephora)Gucci's Flora by Gucci eau de parfum features notes of osmanthus, peony and rose. It's feminine and sensual, just like the brand that it's made by. It's also the signature scent of Managing Deals Editor Nicole Briese, who used this sale as opportunity for a restock. More than 100 Sephora shoppers have also given it an enthusiastic thumbs-up. A 1.6-ounce bottle is normally priced at $100, but you can save up to $20 on it at this sale, dropping the price to as low as $80. (Note that you can get it for $56.25 at FragranceNet.com.)

2. Selena Gomez's popular Rare Beauty line
Selena Gomez hit it out of the park with her liquid blushes and dewy lip balms.
(Photo: Sephora)Rare Beauty by Selena Gomez is my own personal favorite makeup line. The singer truly wowed when she launched this collection last year. While there were many stellar standouts, we recommend the Soft Pinch liquid blush, normally $20 and now on sale from $16, which comes in dewy or matte finishes and blended effortlessly into our cheeks, lids and lips in testing. Equally as impressive was the With Gratitude Dewy lip balm (once $16 and marked down from $12.80)—a gorgeous pick that's shiny-but-not-sticky (I have four shades at home) and offered deeper pigmentation that the average balm in our tests. Once you try these two products, there's a good chance you'll want to try the entire collection.

3. This pro-level makeup brush set
Get six of the brand's best-selling brushes in one pro-level collection.
(Photo: Sephora)In order to create the most gorgeous makeup looks, you'll need a set of brushes that can really deliver. But that doesn't mean you have to spend hundreds of dollars to build a collection. Instead, check out this Sephora Collection PRO six-piece set, which you can pick up here from $59.20 (normally $85). We dubbed a larger Ready to Roll 10-piece makeup brush set from the brand (currently out of stock) as our favorite upgrade makeup brush set for its superior application and convenient roll-up case. While this smaller six-piece set has some differences—the PRO line uses vegan synthetic materials, for instance—some of them will be for the better, like the wooden handles, which are bound to stay cleaner than the silicone handles of the set we tested, which got dirty pretty quickly.

4. Urban Decay's legendary eyeshadow palettes
Urban Decay's Naked palettes have set the bar high for eyeshadow.
(Photo: Sephora)Any true beauty lover has heard tell Urban Decay's legendary Naked palette at one point or another. If you're one of the few who hasn't, allow us to introduce you now. Whether you're craving neutral, rose gold-tinted eyeshadow hues, as seen in the Naked3 eyeshadow palette (normally $54, now discounted to as low as $43.20 with the code), bold fiery shades, like the ones featured in the Naked Heat eyeshadow palette (also discounted as low as $43.20) or an assortment of earthy jewel tones, like you'll find in the Urban Decay Naked Wild West eyeshadow palette (on sale from $39.20), you'll have plenty of options to choose from here. (Note that you can also get some of these palettes, including the Naked3 and Naked Heat selections, for slightly less at Amazon.) With these buys, you can look forward to 12 blendable shadows in a variety of finishes that Sephora shoppers over the years have touted as being "the best." There's even a dual-ended brush with which to apply them.

(Photo: Sephora)As one of the most universal blushes to ever exist, the NARS Orgasm blush is a must-have for anyone who enjoys a little rouge. Whether you apply it to your cheeks or your lids, you'll be shocked by just how blendable and flattering it is. Don't just take our word for it though—it has an incredible 4.7-star rating from nearly—wait for it—18,000 Sephora customers, who absolutely adore this cult-favorite product.

(Photo: Sephora)Fenty Beauty by Rihanna is renowned for its inclusive shade ranges and high-quality products. But with so many options to choose from, you might not know where to start. Fret not: We're here to help. For starters, there's the Pro Filt'r soft matte powder foundation, which is available in a jaw-dropping 50 shades and retails here from $28.80 with the code, saving you up to $5.90. Complete with a solid 4-star rating from more than 16,000 Sephora shoppers, it received top-notch reviews for its staying power and lightweight, non-cakey feel.
Another top pick is the Gloss Bomb Universal Lip Luminizer, a high-shine shimmering lip gloss that was once priced at $19 but drops down as low as $15.20 with the code. This über-popular gloss boasts an incredible 4.7-star rating from more than 11,200 Sephora buyers, with a whopping 93% recommending the purchase, since, according to their reviews, it's not sticky, can be applied over any lipstick shade and lasts an incredibly long time.

7. This deeply hydrating cream for your backside
You'll be dreaming of the beach every time you put this cream on.
(Photo: Sephora)From the moment Sol de Janeiro first launched its Bum Bum cream back in 2016, the nourishing body lotion, which is made with cupuaçu butter, açaí oil and coconut oil, had beauty fanatics sold. While we can't speak to its claims of helping to tighten and smooth skin (read: the appearance of cellulite), I can attest that it deeply hydrates and and has a truly delectable scent. I'm not the only one who likes it, either: more than 7,000 Sephora shoppers can't get enough of this rich cream. An 8.1-ounce jar typically retails at $45, but thanks to this sale, you can grab it from as low as $36.

8. This delicious-smelling face mask from Peter Thomas Roth
This mask smells heavenly.
(Photo: Peter Thomas Roth)Looking for spa-quality results from the comfort of your own home? Say hello to the Peter Thomas Roth Pumpkin enzyme mask—a pumpkin enzyme-infused face mask that's designed to polish away dead skin cells and brighten your skin. Packed with pumpkin enzyme, which has tons of antioxidants that work to liven up your complexion, alpha hydroxy acid, a chemical exfoliant that breaks down any lingering dead skin cells for removal and micro-crystals to physically exfoliate your face, this formula reveals glowing skin in just seven minutes—something Nicole can confirm. It also smells like a freshly baked pumpkin pie. No wonder nearly 700 Sephora shoppers have given it their seal of approval! Nicole does note that it can sting a little, so use with caution if you've got sensitive skin. A 5-ounce jar of this face mask usually goes for $60, but you can nab it from $48 with the code, depending on your Insider status, saving you $6 to $12. (Note that it's also currently on sale at Walmart for $34.99.)

9. A Reviewed-approved creamy matte lip stain
Meet your new go-to lip stain.
(Photo: Yves Saint Laurent)Comfortable matte lip color? While the terms can feel like an oxymoron, Managing Deals Editor Nicole Briese says it's possible. She adores Yves Saint Laurent's Tatouage Couture liquid matte lip stain for its swoon-worthy creamy texture, which also offers up great color payoff. Her color of choice? Nude Emblem, a terra cotta-hued pink that can be worn everyday. If you want something more dramatic, however, you can opt for Black Red Code or Red Tribe, as seen on Zoë Kravitz at the 2020 Golden Globes. Save on this gorgeous lip stain at this sale, where it's available from $30.40, or $8 off its usual $38. (Note that some hues may be cheaper at Amazon.)

10. These genius fragrance sets
Looking for your signature scent? Try one of these amazing samplers.
(Photo: Sephora)If you've been searching for a signature scent but don't have the patience—or the dough!—to fund all the full-sized bottles you want to try, you'll love these perfume and cologne gift sets, which feature an assortment of Sephora favorites. While they come with eight to nine scents to sample, the best part is the "scent certificate" that's included with each one that can be redeemed in-store for a full-sized bottle of your favorite fragrance from the set at no extra cost.
This men's cologne sampler, which normally sells from $68, falls as low as $54.40 with the promo code and contains nine tester scents from much-loved brands such as Burberry, Armani and Dolce & Gabbana. Ladies, meanwhile, can pick up this Mother's Day coffret perfume sampler set, usually $75 and now from $60, to enjoy eight fruity, sweet and spicy fragrances from companies like Giorgio Armani and Tocca.

11. St. Tropez's award-winning tanning mousse
This stuff works like a charm for an even, natural-looking tan.
(Photo: Sephora)No beach vacation booked for summer 2021? That's OK—you can still snag a beach-worthy glow with a lot less sun damage thanks to St. Tropez's self tan classic bronzing mousse, once $32 and now from $25.60. (Pick it up from Amazon for $18 here). According to Sephora customers, 500 of which were big fans, this easy-to-apply mousse doesn't feature the tell-tale scent of most self-tanners and blends better than other popular products on the market. As such, you can look forward to a realistic bronze sans orange smears and odor.

(Photo: Sephora)$190 for a jar of moisturizer is a lot, but if you've been dying to give this celebrity-favorite a try, now's your chance, as La Mer's Crème de la Mer moisturizer drops as low as $152 thanks to this event. (Note that you can also get it on Amazon for $148, but in very limited stock.) More than 700 Sephora shoppers also sing its praises, noting that it absorbs extra-well into the epidermis. Just keep in mind that it's best for dry skin due to its ultra-rich formula, which combines the company's proprietary "miracle broth," antioxidant-packed lime tea concentrate and healing giant sea kelp.

A .5-ounce bottle of this highly-rated formula normally sells for $62 but is on sale from $49.60, saving you up to 20% at this seasonal sale. According to the company, it works to gently brighten the under-eye area while imparting hydration (thanks, cucumber extract!). It also aims to de-puff the area as a whole via its red algae.

This rich, purple-tinted cream is formulated to address dryness, dullness and loss of firmness. With Japanese purple rice for environmental damage, Okinawa algae blend and hyaluronic acid to deeply hydrate and plump and nourishing botanical extracts, it's incredible. According to the company, this cruelty- and gluten-free salve works on normal to dry skin, and, in an expert grader survey of 20 people, 100% of participants found that, their skin was smoother, more hydrated and radiant after two weeks. It also has a 4.2-star rating from more than 2,000 Sephora shoppers. You can grab a 1.7-ounce jar, usually $68, from $54.40.
