We’ve been in partial hibernation for the last month or two, doing the tango between Phase 2 and 3. Now that things are finally starting to look up for us and our social calendars, it’s also time we step out of our pajamas and get our beauty routines back in gear. After all, glo-ups have been psychologically proven to be mood-lifters, and the makeup junkies amongst us are here for it.
If your makeup stash has been languishing with dried up concealer and long-expired eyeshadow palettes, you’re in luck. Sephora’s Beauty Pass Sale is back online and in-app only, this 7th-11th July 2021 to give you all the more reason to replenish your skin care and update your makeup collection with the latest cult faves. Drunk Elephant – we’re looking at you.
Think of Sephora’s Gold Tier members as the privileged few clutching golden tickets to perks such as custom makeovers, exclusive invites to events and launches; but most of all, early access to Sephora’s piping hot Beauty Pass Sales.
And this time round, Gold Tier members will get first dibs to shop the sale once the clock strikes midnight on 7th July (12AM SGT) – a full day before everyone else. Next in line for the goodies are Sephora Black Tier and White Tier members who’ll get to access the sale from 8th – 11th July.
Once you’ve gained access to shop till you drop, here are the discounts you’ll want to commit to memory:
Note: Beauty Pass Sale discount is not applicable for use on already discounted sales items.
And in true Sephora fashion, Gold Tier members can look forward to copping a limited-edition Sephora x Julienne Tan Summer Tumbler with every purchase, while stocks last*.
*Limited to one redemption per member with no minimum spend.
We all know the feeling of coveting skincare way outta of our budgets such as Foreo’s UFO or SK-II’s Pitera-loaded treatment essence. If the desire in your heart is too strong, you can now purchase it via Atome and pay it off with three interest-free installments. As the cherry on top, you’ll be privy to an additional $12 off with a minimum spend of $80 for Sephora purchases you make on the Atome app^.
^Promotion is valid until 31st July 2021 (11.59pm SGT) on Sephora’s website or on the Sephora app. Valid for all Atome users only, limited to one redemption per Atome user. Voucher applied within Atome app upon checkout.
And while we’re still in the thick of the WFH life, here are a mixture of new beauty and skincare products we’ve got our sights on for that dewy, porcelain glow-up, even behind the computer screen.
There’s been nothing but hype surrounding Drunk Elephant and its range of charmingly-packaged products. But if you’re the sort to scrutinise the ingredient label on your cosmetic purchases, you’ll understand why the brand’s free-from-nasties formulation deserves all the mad love it gets.
Sporting both their T.L.C. Night Serum and Lala Whipped Cream, the Call It A Night set is a night-time bundle that’s just what the doctor ordered for those suffering from skin as dry as the Sahara desert. The first step utilises an AHA/BHA cleansing gel to exfoliate lingering dead skin cells before a rich cream packed with rare African oils follows, locking in all the moisture.

A facial mask is something all of us have in our makeup arsenal, but mask maestros know that clay masks just hit different. If all this working from home has left you tired skin that shows on your Zoom calls, this Glow Recipe Watermelon Glow Hyaluronic Clay Pore-Tight Facial mask is one item you should consider carting out.
With kaolin clay, blueberry seed powder and hyaluronic-acid all rolled into one power-packed mask, it only takes all of five minutes to reap the benefits of this fruity concoction and banish the dirt and oil from your precious pores.
If you’re thinking this blush resembles something close to your heart – literally – don’t worry, you’re not the only one with your mind in the gutter. With a cheeky name and a packaging even cheekier, Bite Beauty’s Daycation Whipped Blush will give you a sheer rosy glow from that holiday you never took.
These daycation blushes have a mousse-like texture and promise to leave your cheeks coloured all day long. It also contains good stuff like papaya extract to feed your skin, giving you that healthy glow from within.
We might be all masked up when we’re out and about, but that’s no reason to forsake your lips. Whether to look alive for that client call or for that post Phase 2 (HA) glo-up, Hourglass’ newest Velvet Story Lip Cream Crush six-colour range will have you nailing that makeup look, be it IG baddie or bosslady.
Famed for its buttery texture and the “blurring effect” it leaves on your lips, these moisture-packing lipsticks won’t leave your lips feeling chapped and flaky like regular matte lipsticks do.
If it’s glowy, dewy skin that you want; add this holy-grail product to your makeup routine: Huda Beauty’s GloWish Multi Dew Skin Tint.
Damascus rose oil, red bell pepper extract, and plant-derived squalane are just some of the natural goodies that’re packed into this skin tint. Moisturising properties? Check. Sheer luminosity? Check. Protect your skin from blue light? Check.
Use it on its own for a healthy, bright no-makeup look or mix it into your regular foundation for the subtle highlight. Don’t just take it from us, but the sea of stellar reviews online.
And if you’re one to regular stock up on Sephora’s exclusive brands, keep an eye out for brands from the likes of Charlotte Tilbury, Pat McGrath Labs, SUNDAY RILEY, FENTY Beauty/FENTY Skin, GHD, and more.
We’re slowly dusting off our makeup pouches now that dining out is allowed once more, and dates with +1s pepper our calendars. This July, don’t miss the chance to replenish your ultimate favourite makeup products and bag some of Sephora’s hottest launches at the upcoming members-exclusive Beauty Pass Sale this 7th (12AM SGT) – 11th July (11.59PM SGT).
Don’t make a beeline for a Sephora outlet near you though, this year’s Beauty Pass Sale is happening online and in-app only (Sephora for android | Sephora for apple). And even if you’ve yet to be initiated as a Sephora member, you’ll be able to sign up to Beauty Pass for free to earn instant points to be used at Sephora’s Rewards Boutique.
If it’s been a good long while since you’ve whipped out your membership card, you can double check the status of your membership via the Sephora app or by logging into your Beauty Pass account on sephora.sg. Those raring to go can start adding the items you’ve got your sights on to your Sephora wishlist to start!
