My Sephora Savings Event Sale Recommendations
Complexion Favorites
Merit Beauty The Uniform
One of my favorite tinted sunscreens. It has some blurring properties and makes the skin look smooth and even with a velvety-like radiant finish.
Westman Atelier Stick Foundation
This stick foundation manages to look even more skin-like than any of the other formulas and is almost undetectable on the face. It gives light coverage that can be built up a bit but blends in seamlessly and makes you skin look like it’s just had a facial.
Sarah Creal Face Flex Concealer
The Face Flex Concealer gives medium coverage though can easily be sheered out by applying a smaller amount. For me, it is the perfect amount of coverage and manages to look absolutely flawless on the skin.
Natasha Denona HyGlam Concealer
This concealer is formulated to be serum-like with medium to buildable full coverage. It’s incredibly creamy, hydrating and smoothing yet still covers anything and everything I need.
Dior Stick Foundation
The Dior Forever Stick Foundation gives a true natural skin finish. Not too dewy, not too matte. It does manage to be the perfect blend of both to leave the skin looking natural and radiant in a subtle way.
Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk Foundation
The Luminous Silk Foundation is an oil-free medium coverage glowy finish foundation. It’s designed to blur imperfections while providing a medium coverage long-lasting luminous finish to the skin. I like this for special occasions when I want a bit more coverage.
Danessa Myricks Blurring Skin Tint
A skin tint that is weightless but still blurs any imperfections. It gives sheer coverage that can be built up if needed.
Danessa Myricks Yummy Skin Concealer
Much like the skin tint, this concealer gives amazing coverage without looking cakey or emphasizing fine lines.
Kosas Cloud Set Brightening Powder
I don’t know what magic they put in this powder or how it was formulated but this pressed powder is one of the best powders I have ever tried! It’s absolutely amazing how well this powder sits on the skin and manages to mattify without making the skin look too flat or dull.
LYS Triple Fix Blurring Skin Tint Foundation Stick
I have a love/hate relationship with stick foundations. Some are fantastic and others look horrible. This was an immediate hit especially on my dry mature skin. It gives buildable coverage, a natural finish and provides a bit of a blurred look to the skin.
Danessa Myricks Liquid Blurring Balm Spray
This is like a filter for your face. It blurs, gives a soft velvet matte finish and makes your makeup last ALL DAY LONG!
Bronzer/Blush/Highlighter
Makeup by Mario Skin Enhancer
Absolutely flawless. This cream bronzer is so smooth, creamy and easy to blend.
Rhode Pocket Blush
Richly pigmented but still very easy to blend. This is currently my most reached for cream blush.
Makeup by Mario Bronzing Serum
This is a definitely a product that is super user friendly and almost foolproof to apply. There is a pump so you can choose to mix product in with your foundation/skin tint or you can choose to use the doe foot applicator to place the product where you want it on the face.
Merit Beauty Blush Balm
The Merit Beauty Blush Balm is a cream blush designed to give a tint to the cheeks and a “lit-from-within” finish to the skin. The texture is very emollient and balm-like so it melts into the skin. Read my review here.
Armani Beauty Luminous Silk Blush Cheek Tint
These have a soft satin finish and slight blurring effect. You have some time to play with them when you first apply but once they dry down, they are incredibly long wearing.
Armani Fluid Sheer Glow Enhancer
This is an extremely thin and lightweight liquid illuminator.The effect is more subtle like fresh glowing skin.
Eyeshadow/Brows/Mascara
Armani Eye Tint
A longgggg time favorite and a formula that many of you have purchased and loved as well. This cream shadow is easy to apply, blend out with your fingers and lasts all day long.
Tom Ford Eyeshadow Quad in Nude Dip
Listen, the price point of the Tom Ford eyeshadow quads are absolutely criminal. And for the most part, I don’t really think they are worth it……..except for Nude Dip. I don’t know why but Nude Dip feels completely different from every other eyeshadow quad I have tried from Tom Ford. The texture of Nude Dip is a powder but manages to be so creamy and smooth.
Tarte Tubing Mascara
My favorite mascara that I constantly repurchase. No smudging or flaking.
Kosas SoulGazer Mascara
I have not liked another mascara other than the Tarte Tubing until I tried this one. It’s not tubing but does not smudge or flake. It also contains peptides to help with lash growth.
Hourglass Brow Pencil
The only brow pencil I’ve been using for the past 13 years. I wear shade Soft Brunette.
Lip Favorites
Rhode Peptide Lip Shape
My favorite lip liners of all time. They are designed to be a soft-focus blurring formula that enhances the lip shape while also delivering skincare benefits. They give the lips definition and dimension without any harsh lines.
Tatcha Kissu Lip Mask
The Tatcha Kissu Lip Mask is a jelly lip mask that can be used during the day or at night. It is formulated to smooth, hydrate and restore fullness to the lips. This has been a long-time favorite that I always repurchase.
Rhode Peptide Lip Tint
There are so many tinted lip balms out there these day but these are in my top 3 favorite formulas.
Hourglass Phantom Volumizing Glossy Balm
The Hourglass Glossy Balms are richly pigmented but feel very comfortable with no stickiness or tackiness. The color range is stunning and the plumping effect is minimal so there is no discomfort. A creamy and hydrating formula that glides effortlessly on your lips.
Ole Henriksen Pout Preserve Hydrating Lip Treatment
Out of this entire list of tinted lip balms, this quickly shot up to the very top as my favorite. It is the most comfortable on the lips, creamy and smooth without being sticky. It feels nourishing and delivers just enough color and pigment.
Saie Glossybounce High-Shine Hydrating Lip Gloss Oil
I am not sure why I have not yet tried one of these Saie lip gloss oils but after falling in love with the shade Remix, I will definitely be purchasing more colors. This does feel a bit more like a gloss than an oil but has a bit of slip to it which makes it feel quite nourishing and moisturizing.
Tower28 Lip Sofites
Another tinted lip balm formula that I love. Creamy, hydrating and just enough color.
YSE Beauty Like a Gloss Hydrating Lip Mask
This is a newer discovery and I have immediately fallen in love with this formula. It’s incredibly thick and almost has a jelly-like feel to it that envelopes the lips instantly.
Skincare Favorites
Aestura Moisturizing Cream Mist
I immediately fell in love with this moisturizing cream mist. It leaves a slight film on the skin which I absolutely love because it nourishes my skin more than other formulas I’ve tried.
Experiment Plasma Wash
As someone who LOVES a unique texture especially when it comes to cleansers, the Experiment Plasma Face Wash is favorite of mine. It’s technically a gel cream but has a jelly-like feel to it. It is chock full of super nourishing ingredients to really support those with mature dry skin types.
Rhode Glazing Milk
Holy grail status for me at this point. My favorite milky toner.
Rhode Glazing Mist
My favorite milky toner made into a mist!
Biodance Collagen Gel Toner Pads
They instantly plump and hydrate my skin and you can also leave them on for a few minutes as a mini sheet mask treatment. These will absolutely be a repurchase!
Clarins Cryo-Flash Face Mask
This mask is a combination of great results and a product that is enjoyable to use. It’s designed to tighten, firm and give the skin a glow which it definitely does.
Experiment Beauty Super Saturated Serum
If your skin is feeling dehydrated or lacking moisture, this hydrating serum will solve all your problems. It is a barrier support serum so it will help strengthen and protect the skin barrier while also delivering intense hydration.
Then I Met You Bong Bounce Cream
A lightweight gel-cream that delivers intense nourishment and barrier support.
Then I Met You Cleansing Balm
Thick and creamy without feeling too oily. This removes every last bit of makeup and leaves my skin feeling so hydrated.
Experiment Beauty Molecular Mesh
It’s a semi-rich formula that feels nourishing but does have a bit of a tacky/bouncy feel to it. I personally love that because it leaves my skin so firm and supple. The tacky texture doesn’t last however and this moisturizer absorbs beautifully into the skin after only a few minutes.
Dieux Instant Angel Moisturizer
The Dieux Instant Angel Moisturizer is a skin-restoring moisturizer designed to deeply nourish, provide barrier support and give an “ethereal glow” to the skin. It doesn’t focus on anti-aging concerns or other targeted treatments. It is truly the ultimate final step in taking care of your skin.
INNBEAUTY Extreme Cream
As soon as I first tried this moisturizer, I knew why it was so popular and constantly went viral. The texture is rich, creamy, instantly nourishing and leaves the skin with a glazy finish that I adore.
YSE Beauty Your Favorite Ex Exfoliating Pads
I love these exfoliating pads and use them three times a week to give me a nice chemical exfoliation. I’m pretty picky about my exfoliating pads not being too strong or too gentle. And this manages to be the perfect balance.
YSE Beauty Overachiever Eye Masks
I have tried more under eye masks that I care to count and NONE have stayed in place like these do. Most eye masks will slip down as I am wearing them. But these stay in place perfectly and really help to hydrate and smooth out the under-eye area.
Dieux Deliverance Serum
Dieux Deliverance serum is a 3-in-1 repair serum designed to target fine lines, irritation and hyperpigmentation. It’s a multi-tasking formula that works for nearly all skin types (especially sensitive skin types) and easily works in any skincare routine.
Elemis Pro-Collagen Cleansing Balm
I’ve been using this cleansing balm for nearly 10 years and will never be without it. I always apply my cleansing balms on a dry face with dry hands and then massage in to break down and remove all my makeup. I will then add water to emulsify the balm to a gentle milk and rinse.
Dieux Baptism Gel Cleanser
A gorgeous lightweight gel cleanser that leaves my skin feeling refreshed but not stripped.
Fragrance/Body Care
Hanni Splash Salve
This is a solid balm that you apply after the shower when you skin is still damp. You massage it all over, quickly rinse off the excess and then gently pat dry. When I tell you my skin feels BABY SOFT after using this, I am not exaggerating.
Josie Maran Whipped Argan Oil Firming Body Butter
I’ve gone through three tubs of this and always repurchase when I run out. An airy whipped texture is the best way to describe this body butter. Light and fluffy but intensely rich and hydrating.
Salt & Stone Body Cream
I take my body care very seriously and love a rich nourishing body cream especially in the colder months. These are creamy, rich and smooth while absorbing in just a few minutes. The scents are what keep me coming back though. They last for so long and smell divine.
First Aid Beauty KP Bump Eraser Scrub
I have used a TON of body scrubs over the years and while I do like many of them, I didn’t repurchase any once I tried this scrub. It is a SERIOUS scrub that removes every single bit of texture on the body.
Donna Karan Antiperspirant/Deodorant
The only antiperspirant I will use. I’ve been buying it for 15 years because it works!
Phlur Fragrances
From the scents to the price points and packaging, I love so many Phlur fragrances. Currently my two favorites are Strawberry Letter and Father Figure, and my favorite body mist is Heavy Cream.
Salt & Stone Body Mist in Black Rose & Oud
I immediately fell in love with this body mist the minute I smelled it. Floral but not powdery. The perfect blend of rose, vetiver and oud.
Tan-Luxe The Gradual
The only self tanner I continually repurchase. No streaking, no patchiness and fades beautifully.
Hair Faves
Vegamour Gro Hair Serum
I used this for more than a year and it does work! It’s a bit slower than other formulas but filled in my hairline almost completely.
Vegamour Scalp Massager
Even if you don’t want to invest in a scalp serum right now, utilizing a scalp massager in your everyday routine is a great habit to start. Massaging your scalp every single day for at least a minute if not a few minutes will really help the health of your scalp.
Crown Affair Towel
I use this towel after I wash my hair to remove excess water. It’s so gentle and won’t damage the hair.
Slip Scrunchies
My hair is very thin and these are the only hair ties that don’t damage it.
Amika Perk Up Dry Shampoo
This is the product that finally made me like dry shampoos. It removes oil without making my hair feel gritty or dirty.
Amika Dream Routine Overnight Hydrating Mask
I use this at night on dry hair to give my ends more hydration. Since I have such fine hair, this is one of the only overnight masks I can use that won’t weigh it down.
Tools
Higher Dose Infrared Sauna Blanket
This sauna blanket is a must have for me a few times a week! It is a sleeping bag style blanket that uses infrared technology and infrared heat to mimic the effects you get when sitting in a sauna. It can help boost circulation, increase blood flow, provide deep relaxation, help muscle recovery, burn calories and detoxify. A splurge but worth every penny.
What I Ordered!!!
Makeup by Mario F4 Brush
Everyone raves about this brush for foundation/cream blush and bronzer so I finally had to order one to try for myself.
Saie Cream Blush in Flirty
Some people said this was great while others said it was not but I still wanted to try it for myself. I LOVE a bright blush and this color is STUNNING!
Touchland Hand Sanitizer
My hand sanitizer in my bag just ran out so I decided to grab one of these to try.
Tarte Tubing Mascara
This is my favorite mascara so I had to replenish.
Hourglass Brow Pencil in Soft Brunette
I’ve been wearing this brow pencil for 13 years – it’s the perfect color for dark hair.
Natasha Denona HyGlam Foundation
The HyGlam concealer is my all-time favorite holy grail concealer so I have high hopes for the foundation!
Merit Solo Shadow in Palladium
Solo shadows are all I wear nearly everyday. I didn’t try the matte shades when they launched but as soon as I saw there were shimmer shades available, I knew I would order one.
Lawless Forget the Filler Gloss in Cherry Vanilla
Everyone has recommended this lip gloss to me so I am finally trying in a gorgeous sheer red color.
Phlur Cherry Stem Travel Fragrance
This is Phlur’s newest fragrance and it sounded amazing so I ordered at travel size to test it out.

My skin is loving all things Westman Atelier so I wanted to try these bronzing drops next.
