    Forgive me for the obvious 'Game of Thrones' reference, but winter is coming—and it's time to prep your beauty routine. Cold temperatures take a toll on our skin and hair (not to mention your mood), so it's time to start using the most hydrating products possible. Think: rich moisturizers, hair oils, leave-in conditioners, soothing face masks, and creamy makeup formulas to combat dry spots. But don't worry: Sephora's Savings Event is here just in time to address your winter beauty needs.

    Sephora's Savings Event kicks off on November 1, but different membership tiers start saving on different days. Rouge members can start shopping with a 20 percent discount on the first day. Then, on November 5, the sale opens to VIB and Insider members, who will earn 15 and 10 percent discounts, respectively. Everyone gets free shipping and 30 percent off Sephora's in-house brand, Sephora Collection, as a sweet bonus. Use the code SAVINGS at checkout to earn your discount. Just grab do it before November 11, when the sale ends for everyone.

    To help fill your cart, I've made a handy little shopping list with my all-time favorite winter beauty picks. From the hair mask I use weekly to the tinted lip balm I can't get enough of, these are the tried-and-true products I'll be using all season long. (Remember that the prices below reflect the full price before the discount is applied.) I also found the best on-sale gifts you can shop in the sale if you're getting a head start.

    Best Winter Skin Picks

    Jet Lag Mask + Moisturizer

    Summer Fridays Jet Lag Mask + Moisturizer
    $49 AT SEPHORA

    There's a reason nearly every influencer you know uses this hydrating face mask on long-haul flights. Its thick, creamy formula nourishes and calms the skin. It's fragrance-free, so it's excellent for sensitive skin. (Pro tip: it works just as well as a nighttime moisturizer for dry skin.)

    Cream Skin Refillable Toner amp;amp; Moisturizer With Ceramides and Peptides

    Laneige Cream Skin Refillable Toner Moisturizer
    $36 AT SEPHORA

    Everyone can benefit from an added dose of moisture here and there, and this cult-favorite K-Beauty milky toner makes it easy. I love using it on especially cold, dry days or when my skin feels irritated—this clears it right up.

    Strength Trainer Skin Barrier Moisturizer With Peptides and Niacinamide

    Olehenriksen Strength Trainer Skin Barrier Moisturizer
    $52 AT SEPHORA

    I wish I could have a lifetime supply of this moisturizer. After a week of using it, my skin felt noticeably firmer, smoother, and plumper. It's also the perfect texture for my oily skin in the winter.

    Natural Moisturizing Factors + Ha

    The Ordinary Natural Moisturizing Factors + Ha
    $14 AT SEPHORA

    Sometimes, you need a moisturizer that does the job without any added frills. The Ordinary is known for its straight-to-the-point formulas and accessible price points, so it's easy to love this non-greasy, fast-absorbing formula.

    Ultra Facial Cream With Spf 30 Sunscreen

    Kiehl's Since 1851 Ultra Facial Cream With Spf 30 Sunscreen
    $39 AT SEPHORA

    Don't skip on sunscreen in the winter. This moisturizer is a two-in-one, delivering lightweight hydration and sun protection without any added greasiness.

    Piteraamp;trade; Facial Treatment Mask Twin Pack

    SK-II Pitera™ Facial Treatment Mask Twin Pack
    $30 AT SEPHORA

    If you don't have time or money to visit the spa for a monthly facial, these sheet masks are the next best thing. You can throw one on and watch an episode of Friends (or any other 20-minute show, for that matter) and take it off to reveal brighter, tighter, and healthier-looking skin.

    Moisturizing Eye Bomb With Peptide and Ceramide

    Belif Moisturizing Eye Bomb With Peptide and Ceramide
    $48 AT SEPHORA

    Dry under-eyes are no joke, especially in the winter. Give the delicate and sensitive area the extra attention it deserves with a moisturizing eye cream like this one. It's made with all the moisturizing ingredients you need, like peptides, ceramides, and squalane, so you won't have to worry about dry, flaky under-eyes.

    Indigo Overnight Repair Serum in Cream Treatment

    Tatcha Indigo Overnight Repair Serum in Cream Treatment
    SHOP NOW

    I rely on Tatcha's products in the winter when my skin needs a little extra TLC. They're pricey but worth it. Hyaluronic acid, ceramides, and Japanese indigo extract are specially made with a richer formula to soothe irritated, red, and dry skin.

    Limited Edition Power Mist Top Five Value Set

    Touchland Limited Edition Power Mist Top Five Value Set
    $45 AT SEPHORA

    Hand sanitizer may not be the most glamorous purchase, but I consider it an absolute must-have—especially when they hail from Touchland. I love these sprays for their fine mists, yummy scents (read—no gross chemical smells!), and their moisturizing feel.

    Pro-Collagen Makeup Melting Cleansing Balm

    Elemis Pro-Collagen Makeup Melting Cleansing Balm
    $40 AT SEPHORA

    The last thing you need in the dry winter months is a cleanser that strips your skin and leaves it feeling squeaky clean—in a bad way. You won't have that issue with this cult-favorite cleansing balm. One tiny scoop is all you need to melt off your makeup and any grime from the day. You're left with nourished, soft, healthy-looking skin.

    Nourishing and Protective Shea Butter Hand Cream

    L'Occitane Nourishing and Protective Shea Butter Hand Cream
    $30 AT SEPHORA

    Dry, cracked hands are not pretty in the winter. This is the only hand cream I've tried that actually keeps my hands soft and moisturized when New York gets blistering cold, and for that, I'll always keep a tube on me everywhere I go.

    Best Winter Haircare Picks

    Curl Defining Cream

    Moroccanoil Curl Defining Cream
    $36 AT SEPHORA

    Curly hair girlies know the struggle that is having dry, frizzy waves. This cream was made with all curl types in mind to increase shape and separation while adding bounce, softness, and shine. Sounds like a real multi-tasker to me.

    Holiday Hair Must Haves Value Set

    Sephora Favorites Holiday Hair Must Haves Value Set
    $46 AT SEPHORA

    This kit has just about everything you could need for the holiday season in travel-friendly sizes. From stylers to leave-in conditioners to hair oils and dry shampoos, all of your hair needs are covered. You'll get to try cult-favorite products from top brands, too, like Oribe, Living Proof, Kérastase, and so many more.

    Hydrating Healing Hair Oil

    Virtue Hydrating Healing Hair Oil
    $45 AT SEPHORA

    I've said it once, and I'll say it again: I can't live without this hair oil. It works double duty as a styling oil by smoothing any frizz for all-day sleek strands, but the real magic is in its healing powers. Its formula is full of proteins that refill keratin and repair damaged hair with every use.

    Expensive Hi-Shine Gloss Treatment

    IGK Expensive Hi-Shine Gloss Treatment
    $32 AT SEPHORA

    A hair gloss is a quick and easy way to make your hair look like a million bucks and IGK's is one of Marie Claire's tried-and-true favorites. We found it's the best gloss for fine hair as its lightweight formula won't weigh strands down. Our tester said, "After using the gloss once a week, my strands appeared considerably shinier. Not only was my hair practically glistening, but it was super soft."

    All in One Leave-In Conditioner

    Moroccanoil All in One Leave-In Conditioner
    $32 AT SEPHORA

    I'm a big fan of Moroccanoil's hair oil, but their leave-in conditioner is just as good at softening hair. It uses the brand's signature blend of argan oil and amino acids to nourish hair from the inside out. It even prevents breakage, which is a major bonus in my book.

    Hairdresseramp;rsquo;s Invisible Oil Heat Protectant Leave in Conditioner Primer

    Bumble and bumble Hairdresser’s Invisible Oil Heat Protectant Leave in Conditioner Primer
    $34 AT SEPHORA

    This spray is my ultimate travel beauty hack. It acts as a detangler and leave-in conditioner for extra silky hair. Not only that, but it's also a heat protectant and a hair oil, which saves me from packing two other products in my suitcase.

    Holirootsamp;trade; Pre-Wash Treatment Oil for Thinning Hair

    Fable Mane Holiroots™ Pre-Wash Treatment Oil for Thinning Hair
    $38 AT SEPHORA

    This is one of my hair's holy grails. Since I've added it to my haircare routine, I've noticed a considerable difference in the amount of fallout and breakage. It's also added a nice amount of growth around my hairline and moisturizes my scalp. I like to apply it to my scalp, leave it on overnight, and wash my hair in the morning for maximum effect.

    Nutritive 8h Magic Night Serum Hydrating Treatment for Dry Hair

    Kérastase Nutritive 8h Magic Night Serum Hydrating Treatment for Dry Hair
    $60 AT SEPHORA

    This hair serum is a do-it-all product that detangles, hydrates, adds shine, smooths, and strengthens hair, all while you sleep.

    Soulfood Nourishing Hair Mask

    Amika Soulfood Nourishing Hair Mask
    $34 AT SEPHORA

    Do your hair a favor, swap out your conditioner with this mask once a week, and see what a difference it makes. It's packed with hydrating jojoba seed oil, fatty acids, and antioxidants to provide a huge boost of moisture.

    Cactus Fruit 3-In-1 Styling Cream

    dae Cactus Fruit 3-In-1 Styling Cream
    $30 AT SEPHORA

    This styling cream went viral on TikTok, and it's not hard to see why. Besides the yummy smell, it leaves hair feeling as soft and smooths frizz. It's great for creating sleek blowouts but even better for slicked-backed updos.

    Gold Lust Repair amp;amp; Restore Hair Collection Set

    Oribe Gold Lust Repair Restore Hair Collection Set
    $115 AT SEPHORA

    Restore hair to its former glory with this all-in-one set from one of the best haircare brands ever. Oribe's Gold Lust line comes A-list-approved with Jennifer Lopez, Cindy Crawford, and Naomi Campbell counting themselves as fans. This set comes with a full-size shampoo and conditioner, plus a mini of it's nourishing hair oil.

    Best Winter Makeup Picks

    The Holiday Lip Butter Balm Set

    Summer Fridays The Holiday Lip Butter Balm Set
    $49 AT SEPHORA

    It seems like everyone is obsessed with this tinted lip balm—and for good reason. It leaves your lips moisturized all day long, has the best flavors, and a buttery smooth formula. I'm sold.

    Caviar Stick Cream Eyeshadow

    Laura Mercier Caviar Stick Cream Eyeshadow
    $33 AT SEPHORA

    Dark eye makeup is a staple of winter makeup, but if you're not one for multi-step routines, this creamy eyeshadow stick makes a smokey eye easy. Pick your preferred shade, swipe it across your lids, use your finger to blend out, and you're good to go.

    Mini Blush and Luminize Trio

    Rare Beauty Mini Blush and Luminize Trio
    $35 AT SEPHORA

    Blush is everyone's favorite step in their routines, and Rare's blushes are part of the reason why. In this kit, you get two liquid blushes—a pretty everyday mauve and a deep oxblood—and one highlighter to tie your dewy glow together.

    24/7 Glide-On Waterproof Eyeliner Pencil

    Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-On Waterproof Eyeliner Pencil
    $23 AT SEPHORA

    Edgy, smudged eyeliner was all over the runways at the Spring 2025 New York Fashion Week shows, but you don't have to wait until next season to get into the trend. This top-rated pick, our favorite eyeliner for the waterline, has an ultra-creamy formula that glides across the lid.

    Luminous Silk Face and Under-Eye Concealer

    Armani Beauty Luminous Silk Face and Under-Eye Concealer
    $42 AT SEPHORA

    Grab this under-eye concealer if you have perpetually dry under-eyes or dark circles. You'll love its creamy, hydrating formula and soft-focus finish. It has buildable, medium coverage and a radiant, skin-like finish, ideal for dry skin.

    Rouge Pur Couture Caring Satin Lipstick With Ceramides

    Yves Saint Laurent Rouge Pur Couture Caring Satin Lipstick With Ceramides
    $48 AT SEPHORA

    One of fall 2024's biggest makeup trends is bold red lipstick. This one is an editor favorite for its long wear and hydrating feel.

    Surrealskinamp;trade; 16hr Soft Setting Spray

    Makeup by Mario Surrealskin™ 16hr Soft Setting Spray
    $34 AT SEPHORA

    I never believed that setting sprays did anything until I came across this one. I used just three sprays on my face, and after a day of running across the city for multiple meetings, my makeup still looked just as fresh as it did in the morning. It leaves a beautiful skin-like finish, and I love that the formula includes hyaluronic acid and vitamin C for a boost of hydration and free-radical defense.

    Midnight Minis Lip Set

    LANEIGE Midnight Minis Lip Set
    $21 AT SEPHORA

    There's a reason everyone you know has one of these lip masks on their nightstand—they leave your lips baby soft for at least eight hours, if not more. This set five yummy flavors, including watermelon pop and peach iced tea, so there's one for every one of your bags.

    Complexion Rescueamp;reg; Tinted Moisturizer With Hyaluronic Acid and Mineral Spf 30

    bareMinerals Complexion Rescue® Tinted Moisturizer
    SHOP NOW

    A tinted moisturizer is the closest thing I'll get to wearing foundation, and this is one of my favorites. It has a lightweight feel, light to buildable coverage, and a natural skin-like finish. The extra moisture boost is a welcome bonus in the winter months, and I love how I don't have to worry about SPF when wearing it.

    Flush Balm Cream Blush

    Merit Flush Balm Cream Blush
    $30 AT SEPHORA

    The red blush trend is still going strong for fall and winter and I'm thankful. This vibrant shade will give you that pretty "just walked in from the snow" look in an instant.
