When it comes to finding the best sunscreen for acne-prone skin, the coziest winter perfumes, and effective skincare sets that are worth every penny, there’s no telling what I’ll find in the depths of Sephora’s sale pages. In fact, I did just that for hours. After scrolling through the Sephora Cyber Week sale, we’ve put together a curated lineup of items that ELLE Beauty will be repurchasing, along with underrated gems from brands we think deserve your hard-earned coin.
