Is your vanity in need of a little pre-winter refresh? Well, you’re at the right place. The annual Sephora fall sale is just around the corner, and we couldn’t be more excited to stock up on all the hottest new releases and our tried-and-true essentials here at FASHION.

Starting this Friday, October 31, the Sephora Collection will be 30% off for everyone, while Rouge members will also enjoy 20% off products storewide. Then, from November 4 through November 11, VIB and Insider members can join in on the fun with 15% and 10% off, respectively, both in-store and online. With sales this good, who are we to resist?

Whether you’re looking to get a head start on holiday shopping or simply can’t wait to check a few things off your own wish list, now’s the perfect time to indulge in a little beauty haul. We asked our editors what items are already (or will soon be) in their carts—and their picks did not disappoint.

Read on to discover what the FASHION staff is shopping during this Sephora sale.

Liz Guber, Editor-in-Chief

Westman Atelier Vital Skin Multi-Use Foundation Stick

This foundation stick has replaced all other base products in my routine. When applied sparingly and fluffed out with a brush, the coverage looks very natural—and holds up really well all day.

First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Cream Intense Hydration Moisturizer

I love this heavily hydrating, no-frills moisturizer, which despite being "rich" doesn't break out my sensitive skin (if anything, it calms down irritation). Plus, a tub will genuinely last forever.

Merit Solo Shimmer Cream Shadow

I’ll always love a swipe of shadow across the lid. The latest from Merit is a shimmery version of their shadow pots. And if you found the matte version too tricky to work with, good news: these glide on easily and look subtle.

Dior Capture Anti-Aging Correction Ritual Trio

It's the time of year to give a little extra love to your skin—and this three-step ritual feels like a full regimen upgrade. Plus, the hyaluranic duo and OX-C technology is a true game changer.

Clarins Body Fit Active

This cooling body gel-cream is my all time favourite. It firms and smooths while leaving my skin feeling toned, hydrated and sculpted. With a soft minty, floral and citrusy scent, it’s truly perfection.

Yves Saint Laurent Golden Oasis Face Palette

I’m loving these luxe blendable blushes and luminous highlighters. They’re perfect for everyday wear or upcoming holiday events and the champagne-pink clutch packaging is so glam!

George Antonopoulos, Senior Creative & Fashion Director

Clarins Total Eye Lift Cream

This product really works. I’ve seen instant firmness and results around my eye area, especially when I’ve used it daily. It also provides a nice, subtle glow to my skin.

Yves Saint Laurent MYSLF Le Parfum

I love how chic and minimalist the bottle is, making it a great addition to my bathroom counter. I'm also a huge fan of the woodsy scent and orange blossom undertones, especially for fall weather.

Dermalogica Daily Microfoliant Exfoliator

This rice-based exfoliating scrub is truly amazing. Every time I use it I see the difference it makes with brightening, smoothing and removing the dead skin from my face.

Julia McEwen, Senior Beauty Editor

Rhode Barrier Butter Intensive Moisture Balm

This Rhode balm (newly available at Sephora!) has been sitting in my cart for weeks. Think of it as the ultimate occlusive finisher—your last step to lock everything in and keep your skin soft, juicy and winter-proof.

Summer Fridays Gentle Reset Daily Exfoliating Pads

I do the most with my skincare, but I’m also really lazy. So when Summer Fridays dropped these exfoliating pads in September, everything changed. I love how they’re so effective, clean and easy to work into my routine.

Dieux Ethereal Instant Makeup Removing Cleansing Oil

I was thrilled when this non-greasy cleansing oil finally landed in Sephora Canada last month. It melts everything off like it’s nothing thanks to a super-concentrated formula that leaves skin soft and ready for the rest of your routine.

Natalie Michie, Fashion and Features Editor

JVN Perfect Styling Stick

Sleek hair is always the goal, but my curly, fine texture means I’m too acquainted with flyaways. This pocket-sized smoothing stick is my go-to for controlling frizz—and I can’t wait to restock.

Olaplex No. 3 Hair Perfector Repair Treatment

This nourishing pre-shampoo treatment has been crucial in keeping my strands hydrated during the cold, dry months. It’s being marked down 30%—along with the rest of Olaplex’s offerings.

Dermalogica Oil to Foam Total Cleanser

Dermalogica is a beauty-industry icon—and for good reason. My dry, sensitive skin has been loving this hydrating cleanser, which turns from oil to foam for a satisfying, lather-on feel.

Aestura Atobarrier365 Cream Moisturizer

The changing seasons and cooler temperatures are putting my skin through the wringer. I just ran out of this—my saviour in an 80mL bottle—and am restocking ASAP.

Saie Glow Sculpt Multi-Use Cream Highlighting Blush in "Mauveglow"

I'm an absolute blush fiend, but somehow always forget to highlight (it's a daily struggle). This multitasking Saie product does both in one swipe.

Gisou Honey Gloss Ceramide Therapy Hydrating Hair Mask Duo

Dry, limp and generally insufferable—my hair has been the worst lately. If my locks love ceramides half as much as my skin, this mask is bound to do my hair some good.

Stephanie Davoli, Editorial Assistant

ILIA The Base Face Milk Essence

This essence-moisturizer hybrid has become a non-negotiable first step of my makeup routine. I love using it as a primer for its redness-reducing and texture-smoothing properties.

Crown Affair Leave-In Conditoner Cream

As an avid swimmer, my chlorine-riddled hair is always in need of some serious hydration, and this detangling, smoothing and lightweight leave-in conditioner looks like it’ll more than do the trick.

Laneige Tinted Polypeptide Lip Serum

This nourishing lip serum by Laneige has been calling my name. Formulated with hydrating ceramides and available in eight plumping shades, my only concern is which colour I should add to my cart first.
