Little luxuries

179 products at Sephora and Ulta, with when to buy each one and what we know about its value.

Before you shop: what the research says

Sephora sale. 120 of these are at Sephora. The Holiday Savings Event is reported at 20% off for Rouge from Oct 30, and 15% for VIB or 10% for Insider from Nov 3, through Nov 9. Most Sephora items here are a "buy at sale start": past events held one discount the whole way through. Sephora vs. Ulta ›
Ulta. 63 are at Ulta, where Early Black Friday deals rotate weekly through Nov 21 and Black Friday starts online Nov 21 at 8pm CT. A deal one week may not come back.
Worth waiting? 17 have a history of deeper discounts later (Wait); 6 are a Gamble: deeper prices came later but stock ran thin.
Sellout risk. 86 are labeled limited edition. If you already know you want one, waiting saves little.
Value. 0 have been checked against the price of each item bought separately. The rest show the retailer's own value claim, which we do not treat as proof.
Timing for 116 of 179 comes from that brand's own sale history; the rest follow the retailer's pattern.
