The sale that all beauty junkies have been waiting for is here: from 4 to 8 September 2019, Sephora is holding its Beauty Pass Sale that offers a 20% discount storewide on everything!
All you need to do to enjoy this discount is flash your Gold or Black Beauty Pass or virtual mobile app pass at the cashier counter in stores, or log in to the Sephora website or mobile app to do your beauty haul. For those of us who have indulged ourselves enough to become Gold Members, here’s even more good news – you get to shop one day earlier than the rest, starting from 4 September (while others start on 5 September)!
While most of us probably wish we would cart out everything in stores, our limited funds require us to exercise some self-restraint. If you are not sure what’s worth buying, you’re in the right article! Read on to see which products give you the biggest cash discount, and which we highly recommend you grab before it’s too late.
Deals most worth your money
We know, it’s difficult to justify buying a skincare product that costs more than SGD100 when you could buy another at one-tenth the price. You now have a good reason to do so – after all, this is one of the best deals you can get on Sephora’s products, so if not now then when?
These are the top five products that give you the biggest cash discount in this Beauty Pass Sale:
Dr. Dennis Gross DRx SpectraLite⢠FaceWare Pro
Original price: SGD709
You save: SGD141.80
If you have ever wanted to get your hands on this wrinkle-reducing and acne-fighting LED device but couldn’t bear the thought of forking out a whopping SGD709 for it, you’ll be happy to know that you now can get a discount of over SGD140!
This easy-to-use, hands-free device promises a reduction of acne within days, clearing of more serious acne and fading lines in two weeks, and even a youthful complexion after ten weeks of usage. The five-star ratings and glowing reviews from satisfied customers are all the more reason you should invest in this while you can!

Dyson Supersonic Hair Dryer
Original price: SGD599
You save: SGD119.80
The iconic hair dryer from Dyson needs no further introduction, but we are sure that many have hesitated to buy this life-changing tool due to its hefty price tag.
Here’s the excuse you always needed to buy this expensive device: you can save almost SGD120 when you buy it now, and it translates to greater savings in future when you prevent extreme heat damage to your hair so that you don’t have to pay for frequent hair treatments at the salons!

You save: SGD81.60
This LED flash facial device has been sitting in our shopping cart for ages, and we couldn’t be more excited to finally cart it out at a 20% discount!

Dear Dahlia Blooming Edition Paradise Dual Palette Blusher Duo
Original price: SGD47
You save: SGD9.40
If you haven’t heard, K-beauty brand Dear Dahlia has finally landed on our shores – and in Sephora, no less! This is the perfect time to snag one of their gorgeous marble-themed products, but if you are feeling overwhelmed by all the choices we have, we highly recommend their Dual Palette Blusher Duo.
This is a multi-purpose blusher that comes with two long-wearing matte and shimmery pink shades in a pocket-sized palette. Mix and match the universally-flattering colours for a healthy glow – you’ll want to bring this along on your travels for that perfect travel shot!

tarte Shape Tape Contour Concealer
Original price: SGD42
You save: SGD8.40
tarte’s Shape Tape Contour Concealer is one of the best concealers you can get in the market – think easy-to-blend formula, full coverage with a flawless matte finish, and another function as a contour/highlighter.
Chances are, you’ll likely run out of this fast enough if you use this every day (the loyal fans certainly do!), so it’s time to stock up on your favourite concealer now that it’s going off at a discounted price!

Kat Von D Tattoo Liner
Original price: SGD32
You save: SGD6.40
Another product we run out of quickly is probably liquid eyeliner – after all, once you start drawing the iconic cat-eye, you are likely never to be seen in public without it again.
For those who want to grab the chance to try a new eyeliner, Kat Von D’s award-winning product is the one you have to try. Any beauty junkie worth her salt would tell you that the high-pigment, smudge-resistant formula makes this one of the best eyeliners you could ever get.

IT Cosmetics Your Skin But Better CC Cream SPF 50+
Original price: SGD62
You save: SGD12.40
Not all of us can afford to see medical experts for flawless skin, but this CC Cream from IT Cosmetics works as a very good alternative.
The colour-correcting full foundation coverage was developed with plastic surgeons and has gone on to win multiple awards (and fans’ hearts) since its release. There is nothing to stop you from paying less for flawless-looking coverage that won’t crease or crack – so we say go for it!

Supergoop! Unseen Sunscreen SPF 40
Original price: SGD48
You save: SGD9.60
Never be lazy about sunscreen, especially not during a sale as big as this!
Supergoop!’s Unseen Sunscreen SPF 40 is an antioxidant-rich, oil-free sunscreen that smoothens and preps your skin with a velvety matte finish. You will love that this goes well under makeup and works well on its own too, but the most crucial part is that it is very effective in protecting you from the harmful UV rays, so that your skin remains healthy and beautiful no matter how long you are out in the sun for.

Best hacks to beat the sale
If this is your first time taking part in Sephora’s Beauty Pass Sale, you are going to be overwhelmed by the frantic shopping everywhere, be it in stores or online. Chances are, even if you have done your research and decided on what to buy, you won’t be able to snag the best-sellers even if you are a Gold member.
That’s why we are here to give you some of the best hacks you can use to make sure that you get to buy everything you want at 20% off!
Put everything you want on your wishlist first
When it comes to popular sales, time is of the essence, and you do not want to waste a single minute trying to add 100 products into your shopping cart.
Our advice is to put everything your heart desires into your wishlist now – yes, now. When the clock strikes twelve, all it takes is a few clicks to check everything out, and then you can revel in the excitement of waiting for your delivery while other customers see their favourite items go out of stock.
Combine purchases with your friends to get free Premium delivery

We are not doubting your ability to rack up purchases in this sale, but for those of us who have more self-control and only want to buy one or two items because they are going cheap, it may be difficult to hit the minimum amount required for free delivery.
Here’s where you need to take on the role of an enabler and persuade your friends to indulge in this sale with you. Of course, if your friends are already planning to buy during this sale, that’s even better! For easy reference, this is the total amount you need to hit to enjoy free delivery:
- Standard: SGD40 and above
- Standard+: SGD65 and above
- Premium: SGD110 and above
Standard and Standard+ have delivery time frames of between three to five business days, while Premium takes only one business day, meaning that you will be able to get your loots the next day!
Make friends with Gold members if you aren’t already one

As mentioned earlier, Gold members get a headstart in the sale (4 September 2019) while Black members have to wait for one more day before they can check out their purchases. There is a high chance that most of the popular products have already been snapped up by then, so you are not left with much to pick from when it is finally your turn.
Unfortunately, attaining Gold status is a remarkable feat that not all of us can achieve – FYI, that’s a minimum spend of SGD1,500 in Sephora annually.
Instead of piling more items into your shopping cart to attain Gold membership, why not find a friend who is already a Gold member? Not only do both of you get to cart out everything a day before the rest of the crowd, but you can also combine your purchases to hit the minimum needed for Premium delivery – we can’t find a reason not to do so!
