The best deals from the Sephora Savings Event 2026
If you have sensitive skin, you’ll love this cleansing balm: It’s fragrance-free and has gentle ingredients like sunflower oil and papaya extract to help remove makeup, dirt and more. It comes recommended by NBC Select reporter Zoe Malin, who uses it to remove heavy makeup after broadcast segments and says it leaves her skin soft and hydrated afterward.
The Glossier You line is one of my fragrance staples; I’ve tried three scents so far, and each one lasts all day and gets me plenty of compliments from both friends and strangers. The original scent is spicy, sweet and peppery with notes of pink pepper and iris. The fragrance produces a unique scent when it interacts with your body’s pheromones, so it differs slightly from person to person, according to the brand.
Ilia’s newest SPF formula is made for oily skin and has skin-balancing rhodiola root and echinacea extracts to control oil for up to eight hours, according to the brand. It also has hyaluronic acid and plant sugars to protect and repair your skin barrier. It comes in light-medium and medium-deep shades.
This blow dryer brush is responsible for cutting NBC Select social media associate editor Caitlin Cusack’s styling time from 40 minutes down to 20. “It gives my hair the perfect blowout look,” she says. It comes with four attachments: a curler, a paddle brush, a round brush and a styling tool.
This viral lip balm lives up to the hype and then some, which is why it’s my favorite gloss for going out. It gently exfoliates lips and keeps them moisturized for hours. Plus, it has peptides to reduce any fine lines on your lips. My favorite part is the color payoff; it’s pigmented yet buildable, so it layers perfectly with other lip products.
This moisturizer has squalane and glycerin to hydrate your skin on even your driest days. The cream has a thick texture at first, but it’s lightweight and absorbs quickly after you apply it. It’s also fragrance-free, making it great for sensitive skin. NBC Select updates editor Mili Godio loves using this cream on days when her dry, sensitive skin feels raw and red. “This is my go-to for soothing any irritation and painful dry patches,” she says.
This lightweight foundation sinks into my skin for a smooth, your-skin-but-better finish that controls and absorbs sweat and oiliness. I love using the universal shade as a primer before other foundations or on its own, and my tinted shade as a full foundation during warmer weather.
This expert-recommended scalp serum has a metal applicator that creates a cooling effect when you apply it, according to the brand. It has common hair-growth ingredients like biotin and rosemary for stronger, refreshed roots, along with amino acids to keep your scalp moisturized.
Rhode’s facial essence has a light, milky texture that absorbs quickly into your skin while adding a boost of hydration. It has ceramides to moisturize and protect your skin’s natural moisture barrier, plus vitamin E to soothe irritated skin.
Tower 28’s hypochlorous acid spray is a staple in my summer bag because it has anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties that help soothe irritated or red skin. I especially like using it to refresh my skin during hot days and prevent annoying breakouts.
This hair oil is the ideal all-in-one hair product: it hydrates, adds softness and shine, and works as a heat protectant for temperatures up to 450 degrees Fahrenheit, according to Kerastase. It has camellia flowers to keep hair strong and control frizz throughout the day.
Dry, damaged hair will love this mask; it has a peptide-rich formula that strengthens and softens hair. “I have very fine hair, so most leave-in hair masks weigh it down. This K18 mask is one of the only ones that I can leave on with no problems,” says Godio. “Plus, it has majorly helped restore my hair after years of heat damage.”
This Korean sunscreen is the latest launch from Beauty of Joseon, one of my favorite K-beauty brands. It has green tea to hydrate and soothe dry skin, along with ceramides for added barrier support, according to the brand.
This viral shower oil is a favorite of Godio’s, who uses it during every shower. “It never feels oily or greasy, and the smell is absolutely incredible — it has a clean scent that’s subtle and not too overpowering,” she says. “My skin feels so soft and smooth afterward. Simply, no other shower oil does it better.” You can use it as a body wash, shaving cream alternative or soak.
I’ve been using this exfoliant for years and love that it’s gentle enough for daily (and even twice a day) use. It has salicylic acid to help clear pores and reduce blemishes, and green tea to prevent any irritation, according to the brand.
This hair towel has a waffle-knit pattern made from a microfiber blend that doesn’t pull at your hair, which helps prevent frizz and breakage while it’s drying. “Long gone are the days where I just throw an everyday towel on my head while it dries. This Crown Affair one is perfectly lightweight, easy to put on and lasts for years,” says Godio.
This body cream keeps skin moisturized and hydrated while reducing texture and changes in skin tone, according to Cyklar. Godio uses this body cream after every shower and loves the warm vanilla scent. “I smell great all day after putting this on,” she says. “It’s also super light and absorbs quickly into my skin, so there’s no heavy or sticky feeling afterward.”
