SEPHORA-SALE-BLOG-TEMPLATESTHE BASICS
SEPHORA-SALE-BLOG-TEMPLATES-2- Sephora Compact Brush- I use this to blend my liquid contour products and it works like MAGIC! A Sephora employee recommended it to me last year and, I am very glad she did!! The compact bristles blend product perfectly without transferring it to other parts of my face. REGULARLY $16
- Charlotte Tilbury ‘Airbrush Flawless Finish Setting Powder’– THE HOLY GRAIL!! I first bought this during last year’s sale after hearing so many good things and I swear my makeup looks 10x better with this stuff! It blends everything out and truly makes my makeup (especially the under-eyes) look FLAWLESS!! Shade: 2 REGULARLY $45
- Laura Mercier ‘Pure Canvas Primer’– I’ve been using this primer for a little over 6 months now and it works GREAT for oily skin! Weightless and hydrating without being greasy. $39
- Charlotte Tilbury ‘Airbrush Flawless Finish Setting Spray’ – Another holy grail from CT! Locks in makeup for up to 16 hours so my foundation looks smooth and fresh all day. It also feels SO refreshing when you first put it on, I could just dunk my face in it!! REGULARLY $35
- Charlotte Tilbury ‘Airbrush Flawless Finish Longwear Foundation’- I don’t think I will ever NOT love this foundation!! Anytime I hear someone try this for the first time, they go on and on about how beautiful it covers your skin, it truly does look FLAWLESS & AIRBRUSHED just like the name says! FULL COVERAGE! Shade: 5 Neutral REGULARLY$44
- Hourglass ‘Seamless Finish Foundation Stick’– IF YOU TRY ANY NEW MAKEUP PRODUCT THIS YEAR TRY THIS ONE!!! Changing over to a liquid contour from powdered bronzer CHANGED THE GAME!! Because it’s a compact consistency with the “stick formula”, you can shape out or contour your face 10x easier and, it’s more hydrating than a powder! Shade: Sabel (about 3 shades darker than my foundation) REGULARLY $46
- Fenty ‘Pro Filt’r Instant Retouch Concealer’- Another liquid contour favorite! I was recommended this product as a cheaper alternative to the Hourglass stick. This one is a lot creamer just like any other concealer. I use this very very sparingly across my cheekbones and forehead as contour when I’m doing a “lighter makeup day”. Shade: 410 REGULARLY $26
LIPS & EYES
SEPHORA-SALE-BLOG-TEMPLATES-4- Charlotte Tilbury ‘Lip Cheap’ in Pillow Talk- My go-to lip liner! I use this right along with my Pillow Talk lipstick or with any other lip products that need an added touch of “nude pink”. Creamy and goes on super smooth! REGULARLY $22
- Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Gel- The holy grail of brow products! No matter what “filler” product you use (brow pencil, pomade, etc) this is the perfect “sealer” to go on top. It keeps any product from moving and makes my brows look FLUFFIER! I also use this on my natural brows on days I don’t wear makeup to give them shape! REGULARLY $22
- Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask- Another product I bought as a “newbie” on last year’s sale and I’ve used it almost every single day since!! I put this on right before bed, on days without makeup to hydrate, and ALWAYS when I travel to combat dryness! REGULARLY $22
- Charlotte Tilbury Matte Lipstick Pillow Talk– My favorite lipstick EVER!! The perfect matte look that also feels HYDRATING on your lips instead of completely drying you out like other matte formulas. This is my GO-TO color, the best pink nude. REGULARLY $34
- Charlotte Tilbury ‘Collagen Lip Bath’ in Pillow Talk– The last step in my everyday lip combo! I love it combined with my other 2 pillow talk products or basically any other lip color I use! The “collagen bath” plumps your lips and gives it a nice little shine. REGULARLY $35
- Tartlette ‘In Bloom’ palette- My everyday eyeshadow palette! I haven’t strayed from this one since I bought it over a year ago! The colors work perfect all year round. REGULARLY $39
- Lancome Mascara & Primer Duo- if you’ve been looking for a new mascara combo…STOP YOUR SEARCH!! I have the weakest eyelashes EVER. I’ve tried no joke DOZENS of mascaras and this one has made by far the biggest difference. BUT the primer REALLY makes it #1 for me!! I actually notice a difference in the strength and length of my lashes when I don’t use the primer too. MASCARA REGULARLY $26, PRIMER REGULARLY $27
HAIR PRODUCTS & OTHER MISC.
SEPHORA-SALE-BLOG-TEMPLATES-1- Living Proof Dry Shampoo– There is not a single day that I DON’T use this stuff!! The BEST dry shampoo on the market! Living Proof tends to have good sales on their website so, if you don’t have a big discount code, I would wait until their direct sale. BUT HERE’S YOUR REMINDER TO BUY THIS SOMETIME IN YOUR LIFE!!! REGULARLY $36
- Ouai Hair Oil- If you have dry or colored hair, this stuff is GOLD! Just the right amount of hydration for your dried ends without being too greasy! *and this bottle lasts FOREVER* REGULARLY $28
- Ouai Leave-in Conditioner- One of my favorite hair products EVER!! I loved it since the first day that I used it, but now that I have to maintain colored hair this has been great for keeping my hair healthy! And the smell is AMAZINGG!! REGULARLY $26
- Ouai ‘North Bondi’ Perfume– Speaking of smells, that leave in conditioner scent I said I loved…THIS IS THE PERFUME!!! I about died when they finally came out with this as a real perfume!! The perfect light, floral scent that isn’t too overbearing! *You can also start out with their travel size (I bought mine in December and STILL not even halfway through the bottle after using it daily)* REGULARLY $20-56
- Isle of Paradise ‘Hyglo Self Tan Face Serum’- Finally jumped on the IOP train with this one and I LOVE it for a super easy gradual tan. It will NOT give you an amazing instant bronze, but it adds just enough color to my face when I need it. I’ve also been using it on no makeup days to add color, the hyaluronic acid in it moistures and treats my skin at the same time! REGULARLY $32
- Oliplex no.3– This product is the newest to me but so far I am a big fan!! When I asked around for products that I needed after I colored my hair, this one was recommended EVERY SINGLE TIME!! It is expensive, but you hardly need any amount at all and you don’t use it tooo often! REGULARLY $28
