10 new products we're eyeing in Sephora's Mega Brand Sale

Time to empty out the wishlist again

Beauty Crew Beauty Editor / May 13 2025

The rarer something is, the more precious it becomes, which is a sentiment we're reminded of every time we're blessed with a Sephora sale. 

Sure, there's the annual Sephora Beauty Pass Sale, and the Black Friday and Holiday sales at the end of the year too. But what we didn't account for was Sephora announcing an all new Mega Brand Sale, which coincides with Click Frenzy Mayhem sales in May. Fingers crossed we'll be able to share an equally exciting announcement in November during Click Frenzy's The Main Event Sale.

But we digress — what does the Mega Brand Sale mean for a Sephora customer such as yourself? Well, from Tuesday 13th May 2025 (12.00 am AEST) until Sunday 18 May 2025 (11.59 pm AEST) you can score 20 per cent off on full-priced products from select brands online and in the Sephora app, until stocks last. All you need to do is add your wishlist to cart and enter the code MEGAFRENZY at checkout to get the discount applied to your order. 

But this isn't an outlet sale doll — there are brand new products from Laneige, Benefit, Fenty Beauty, Tarte, Biossance, Pixi, Clarins, Innisfree, Peace Out Skincare, Facetheory and more to try. Plus, if you spend over $110 online you will get a reusable market bag as a free gift with purchase. Tempted? We know we are. Ahead, discover 10 beauty products that are new to Sephora's shelves that we're tempted to try in the Mega Brand Sale.

Laneige Glaze Craze Tinted Lip Serum

usually $30 from Sephora  (apply the code MEGAFRENZY at checkout for 20 per cent off)

If Laneige's previous forays into lip care are anything to go by, we think we're going to like this donut-inspired newcomer a lot. Plus, with a plush donut-shaped applicator cushion tip, plumping tinted lip serum formula, and donut-inspired shades and flavours — what's not to love?

Key features:

Available in six shades
Tinted Korean skincare lip serum 
Flavours and shades inspired by donuts
Nourishing, plumping formula
High-shine finish
Plush donut applicator tip

Benefit Cosmetics Hoola Wave Bronzing Balm

usually $65 from Sephora (apply the code MEGAFRENZY at checkout for 20 per cent off)

Benefit's original Hoola bronzer has been a mainstay in makeup bags for decades since it first launched in 2001, so we're really excited to share that the universal cheat code for sun-kissed skin has been transformed into a balmy cream formula compact. 

Key features:

Available in five shades
A balmy alternative to Hoola powder bronzer
Infused with conditioning jojoba seed oil, shea butter and avocado oil

Tarte Creaseless Setting Powder

usually $66 from Sephora (apply the code MEGAFRENZY at checkout for 20 per cent off)

Scared of loose powder and the things it can do to your skin and your clothes? Meet Tarte's Creaseless Setting Powder. We had the pleasure of trying this before it officially hit shelves and to say we were impressed by the non-drying, brightening and mess-free experience would be an understatement. Personally, we love the pink shade for minimising dark circles and a sallow complexion, but there's a wide range of shades to choose from to suit a myriad of needs. 

Key features:

Available in 10 shades
Net sifter minimises mess
Comes with powder puff
Set makeup for up to 16 hours

Biossance Squalane + Firm And Lift​ Dual Serum

usually $115 from Sephora (apply the code MEGAFRENZY at checkout for 20 per cent off)

Biossance can do no wrong in our eyes — the brand consistently delivers efficacious formulas that are still gentle enough to use on sensitive skin. Case in point? This firming and lifting serum, which uses a unique dual-phase, shake-to-activate, hydrating technology to address the first signs of ageing in the most gentle way possible.  

Key features:

Dual-phase, shake-to-activate serum
Enriched with Hydralift™Complex (a blend of gravetye giant, ectoin, and bisabolol)

Facetheory Porebright Niacinamide 20% Refining Serum

usually $47 from Sephora (apply the code MEGAFRENZY at checkout for 20 per cent off)

New to Australian shores, Facetheory's potent skin care range has already managed to amass a loyal following overseas, which is why we're so stoked we can finally try the brand's best-selling niacinamide serum (and save a few dollars while we're at it).

Pixi pH Reactive Cheektone And Liptone Duo

usually $38 from Sephora (apply the code MEGAFRENZY at checkout for 20 per cent off)

We would be lying if we said we didn't audibly squeal when we saw this Pixi duo. The brand has managed to combine one of our all time favourite blushes with a complementary lip shade. The pair both share a pH adaptive, transparent formula, which creates the most natural flush of colour on the skin — the perfect addition to any no-makeup makeup look.  

Key features:

Contains On-the-Glow Blush in 'CheekTone' and Liptone
Multi-use pH adaptive balm formula for cheeks and lips
Transparent finish
Contains a blend of hydrating and nourishing ingredients

Looking to incorporate some anti-ageing skin care into your routine that won't freak your skin out in the process (we're looking at you retinol), this firming day cream from Clarins uses a gentle slew of anti-ageing hero ingredients to firm and lift skin, and smooth wrinkles. Plus, there's a bit of niacinamide in there too to address dull and uneven skin — hello radiance!

Innisfree Green Tea Enzyme Vitamin C Brightening Toner Pads

usually $45 from Sephora (apply the code MEGAFRENZY at checkout for 20 per cent off)

Brightening toner pads are everywhere in K-beauty right now, but we love that Innisfree has brought their own signature flair to a product we can actually get here in Australia. Each toner pad has been infused with the brand's signature green tea enzyme, as well as vitamin C, niacinamide, panthenol and ferulic acid to address dull, dry and dehydrated skin. Simply swipe the toner soaked pads across your skin prior to applying the rest of your skin care, or apply them to your face for 10 minutes as a face mask.
