Sephora Sale Picks
I’m sure you’ve all already heard about the Sephora beauty insider sale going on, but just in case you haven’t, we’re here to tell you all about it. First of all, anyone can sign up to be an insider and it’s completely free-honestly there is no reason why not to sign up! There are different tiers though, Rouge members get 20% off 4/1-4/11, VIB members get 15% off 4/5-4/11, and then insiders get 10% off 4/7-4/11. Now that we have that covered let’s get to the good stuff- what we’re buying! We’re going to try and narrow it down to our must-haves, but that is much easier said than done!
Shrouq’s Picks :
My absolute favorite foundation! I’ve been using this for years, it was my saving grace when I had horrible acne, and is still my favorite now that my skin has cleared up!
The creamiest blush with the easiest application! I love how natural and simple this blush looks on- it instantly makes me feel more put together. I have a few colors, but my favorite is the “naughty n’ spice”.
Charlotte Tilbury Lipstick (pillow talk medium)
I have a lipstick collection that belongs in a museum honestly, so it’s huge for me to say this, BUT I think this is my all-time favorite lipstick! It’s so creamy and the color is the most perfect dark nude!
I’ve been using this since my mom saw a tv ad and bought it lol-and I don’t think I will ever use a different CC cream/tinted moisturizer again. This gives the most amazing coverage, while still feeling light on your skin. This is my everyday “base” and a definite must have! I just ordered the new “Nude glow” version to try out!
As much as I wanted to not give into the hype about this, I just couldn’t deny the difference in my lashes when I use this primer!
Nadeen’s Picks:
I just recently purchased this and I already LOVE! I wear this as a base, but you can definitely wear it on its own for a glowy tinted look. This product gives you the most perfect luminous look. Perfect for all skin types and doesn’t make you look greasy. Highly recommend.
If you were to get only one thing from the sale, let it be this one. I’ve used this lip gloss for years now and seriously can’t use anything else! It gives off a long-lasting plump effect, doesn’t feel sticky, and has the most beautiful gloss/shine. My favorite go-to shade is Rosewood, but I purchased the shades Light Pink & Beige to try out this year. I’ve also tried Raspberry and love wearing it in the spring/summer time! Trust me when I say you will not regret this purchase. An absolute longtime favorite!
Looking for a translucent powder that won’t leave you looking cakey? Look no further. This translucent powder by Hourglass has been my staple for a while. I love how well it sets my makeup and doesn’t make my under-eye makeup crease throughout the day. It’s also very lightweight so you can layer on products without risking looking like a powdered donut lol.
Brace yourself- I’m a huge fan of Hourglass products so you’ll be hearing a lot about this brand from me! If you like a blush that gives a luminous effect but isn’t shimmery then this blush is for you. I love the shade Luminous Light and think it compliments many skin tones.
While we’re on the topic of powders and Hourglass, let’s talk bronzers! I personally favor a luminous bronzer rather than a matte bronzer. Hourglass infuses their bronzers with their ambient lighting powders so it isn’t shimmery, but it does give off a nice sheen/glow. I promise this isn’t a shimmery mess! I use the shade Luminous Bronze Light. Try this luminous bronzer and you’ll never go back to matte again!
On days when I’m wanting a soft but highlighted glowy look, I grab my Ambient Lighting Powder in the shade Luminous Light by Hourglass. You can brush this lightly over your temples, cheeks and chin for a radiant finish.
I’m not a huge fan of using foundation on a day-to-day basis, so finding a concealer that gives the right amount of coverage is important. I find that Too Faced is perfect for this! Coverage is buildable and the formula is lightweight. I’m in the shade Porcelain but I love to switch it up in the summer and use the shade Vanilla. Highly recommend utilizing Sephora’s “Shade Finder” feature to find the right shade for you. It’s never let me down!
No Sephora sale haul is complete without a good brow gel. Anastasia Beverly Hills takes the cake for this one! Keeps your brows in place all day long and doesn’t make them look flakey/ashy. A little goes a long way so this product will last you awhile.
I haven’t found a mascara that I 100% love, but two things I look for when buying a mascara are waterproof and smudge proof. Which is why I need a really good eye-make up remover! I love this one and it’s very gentle on the eyes. Gets the job done without stripping the skin! I always stock up during the sale because it tends to sell out throughout the year quite a bit. Fan favorite for sure!
I hate, and I mean HATE, the feeling of sunscreen on my face. Especially the scent. Can’t do it! But I also want the benefits that come with using sunscreen daily. This is the only sunscreen I love and use daily! It goes on as a lightweight moisturizer and has NO smell. Seriously the best sunscreen for those who are sensitive to the smell and feel of sunscreen. Kind of dramatic lol but if you know you know!
This moisturizer has been a tried-and- true product for me. I love how well it sinks into the skin and how lightweight it feels. I have normal to dry skin and this moisturizes without feeling heavy or sticky.
Here are a few new things we ordered and can’t wait to try!
