Sephora Holiday Savings Event
It's that time of year again - the Sephora Holiday Savings Event! I know that this sale can get a little overwhelming with so many products and good deals to choose from, so I rounded up my favorite makeup products that I am going to be sure to snag this year.
If you are specifically looking for hair products during the sale, be sure to check out my last post where I talk about My Favorite Hair Products that I will also be shopping for!
A blush I have been loving lately is Major Beauty Headlines - Double-Take Crème & Powder Blush by Patrick Ta. It provides a really natural finish while still giving off a bold and highly pigmented color. I also love that it comes with a creme and powder option, which is great depending on what look I am going for that day. The creme gives off a beautiful glowy finish, while the powder blends beautifully into my skin. If I am wanting a more subtle look, my go-to is NARS Air Matte Sheer Cream Blush. I love the creamy, weightless formula and the subtle shimmer of all of the shades.
I am obsessed with using Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask Intense Hydration with Vitamin C when I go to bed each night. It goes on smooth and it’s not too thick. I love the way it soothes chapped lips and leaves them feeling healed and restored every morning.
When I am wanting a little color on my lips, my go-to these days is NARS Afterglow Lip Balm. I love the hint of color with the subtle peachy pink of Orgasm, and it has a little pop of shimmer in it too. It’s also hydrating, which is perfect for the cooler months because I can get away with not having to use regular lip balm. If I am wanting a little more color, I reach for my Tarte Maracuja Juicy Squad Lip Set. It comes with four shades that are super hydrating and plumping!
I have also been loving ILIA products lately. When I am going for a lighter look, I love their Super Serum Skin Tint SPF 40 Foundation. It comes in so many shades and is fragrance-free. I love the light, dewy look it gives while still providing my skin with some coverage. I also top it with their Liquid Light Serum Highlighter because it is the most gorgeous highlighter. It can even be mixed in with your foundation, if you don’t like adding it after. For mascara, I use their Limitless Lash Lengthening Clean Mascara. I love this mascara because it does not clump. It lifts and separates and holds the curl perfectly all day.
When I'm wanting to give my whole body a boost of color, I immediately grab my Isle of Paradise Glow Clear Self-Tanning Mousse. I specifically love this one because of its hydrating qualities. I find that most self-tanners leave my skin feeling dried out, but not this one! It gives such a natural-looking tan and never leaves streaks or dark patches. For my face, I love the D-Bronzi™ Anti-Pollution Bronzing Drops with Peptides by Drunk Elephant. They give me that bronzy glow while also working wonders on my skin! They are anti-aging and really help if you have uneven skin texture.
I’m so excited to pick up one of my favorite scents this week! I am OBSESSED with Sol de Janeiro products. I love their Brazilian Bum Bum Body Cream and I can’t wait to get the Brazilian Crush Cheirosa ’62 Bum Bum Hair & Body Fragrance Mist. I get so many compliments every time I wear it, and it makes me feel like summer is never too far away.
The colder weather always reminds me that I need a new moisturizer, so I am going to be picking up IT Cosmetics Confidence in a Cream Anti-Aging Hydrating Moisturizer this time. I love that it is more than just your average moisturizer. While it is super moisturizing, it also has awesome anti-aging properties like hyaluronic acid, so it fights fine lines and wrinkles while combating loss of firmness. I also like using the 100% Organic Cold-Pressed Rose Hip Seed Oil by The Ordinary to fight my dry skin. It’s very light so it goes perfectly under my makeup.
I will also be snagging some more of my favorite facial razors by Sephora. I love the angle of these, so I always grab them when I can. If you are new here, check out a post I wrote about the Benefits of Shaving Your Face. Once you try it, you’ll never get a wax again!
When my hair needs a refresh in between washes, I love using Living Proof. Depending on what I need that day, I use the Perfect Hair Day (PhD) Advanced Clean Dry Shampoo or the Full Dry Volume and Texture Spray. The PhD is great for after a workout because it quickly removes any oil, sweat, or odor. I love the Fully Dry Volume and Texture Spray when I am needing life put back into my hair because it gives me that volume boost I need.
Whew! I think that about covers it! I’m so excited about the sale this week and can’t wait to get all my new goodies! I’m always looking for new products to try, so let me know - what are you shopping for?
