These are my tried and true or new products that I have had my eye on that I am picking up during the sale!
This is truly magic in a bottle. I know it's expensive but a little goes a long way and there is nothing else like it in the market.
AirWash™ Dry Shampoo - K18 Biomimetic Hairscience | Sephora
Pricey but worth every penny. You put this on at night on dry hair before you go to bed and wake up with softer hair. Not to mention it smells delicious.
Nutritive 8H Magic Night Hair Serum for Dry Hair - Kérastase
My go-to for slick back buns. What makes this product so special is it holds your hair in place but at the end of the day you can brush your hair out and it's not glued to the top of your head like most gels would.
Cactus Fruit 3-in-1 Styling Cream - dae | Sephora
I thought detox shampoos were a gimmick until I tried this one. Genuinely leaves your hair feeling squeaky clean. I try and use this once a week.
Detox Shampoo - OUAI | Sephora
Skincare
I have purchased this at least six times. This is a staple in my routine and I genuinely think it has helped my dark spots from my hormonal acne.
Vinoperfect Radiance Dark Spot Serum - Caudalie - Sephora
This is definitely a splurge considering it's just cotton pads but they are so lux and I only need one when I am taking my eye makeup off.
Facial Cotton - Shiseido | Sephora
A dry skin girl's DREAM. This cleanser not only actually cleanses and removes everything on your skin but it deposits moisture with glycerin ensuring your face doesn't feel stripped.
Plasma Wash Moisture-Depositing Gel Cream Cleanser with Glycerin - Experiment | Sephora
A phenomenal moisturizer that has improved the health of my skin barrier. Fragrance-free and has never irritated my skin!
Molecular Mesh Barrier Strengthening Moisturizer with Ectoin + Centella - Experiment | Sephora
I hate how much I love this cream. This is my night time moisturizer and it actually does repair my skin overnight. Unfortunately, worth every penny and haven't found a better alternative.
Indigo Overnight Repair Serum in Cream Treatment - Tatcha | Sephora
Lays beautifully under makeup. Love the metal tip applicator and I do think I have noticed a difference in the brightness under my eyes when I use it consistently.
The Eyelighter Concentrate - BeautyBio | Sephora
Complexion
She will never fail me. If I am doing full glam there's no question that I am using this foundation. Such a beautiful formula that plays well with so many other products.
Triclone Skin Tech Medium Coverage Foundation with Fermented Arnica - HAUS LABS BY LADY GAGA
The best skin tint with spf that I have ever tried. It wears beautifully and works well with my normal/dry skin.
tint & PROTECT medium coverage serum foundation with SPF 50+ - ciele | Sephora
My every day staple that works for my lightest of makeup days to my more full-glam looks. Not the best shade range, but they have added a few shades to their line in recent times.
Swipe All-Over Hydrating Serum Concealer with 18-HR Wear - Tower 28 Beauty | Sephora
This is thicker than the Tower 28 but works wonderfully and is self setting if I am going for a no-makeup look.
Triclone Skin Tech Hydrating + De-puffing Concealer with Fermented Arnica - HAUS LABS BY LADY GAGA |
This bad boy is for when you need to call in reinforcements to cover a blemish especially for a full beat. A little goes a long way, I don't use it often but it's important to have because when you need it you NEED IT.
NARS Soft Matte Complete Concealer Pot | Sephora
No one can dethrone the queen. This is THE setting powder and I can't live without her. If I could only use one powder it would be this.
Easy Bake Loose Baking & Setting Powder - HUDA BEAUTY | Sephora
I'm typically a talc-free hater, but I do use this powder quite a bit. I love it for my lighter makeup days. The only thing that could make this powder better would be adding a mirror to the compact.
GetSet® Blur + Set Talc-Free 12H Pressed Setting Powder - Tower 28 Beauty | Sephora
Another talc-free product that surprised me. Patrick was not kidding when naming this airbrushed. That is what this bad boy does. I love setting my final look by dusting this on.
Bouclé Silk Airbrushed Talc-Free Finishing Powder - ONE/SIZE by Patrick Starrr | Sephora
A classic bronzer that isn't too orange. I tend to reach for this one quite often.
Hoola Bronzer - Benefit Cosmetics | Sephora
I tend to wear this on my no-makeup days and it has a beautiful finish. Very buildable and dummy-proof.
SoftSculpt Transforming Skin Enhancer® - MAKEUP BY MARIO | Sephora
If I could only have one powder bronzer it would be this one. It is a powder but it's more complex than that. Blends out like a dream, super pigmented and has a beautiful satin finish.
Power Sculpt Velvet Talc-Free Powder Bronzer - HAUS LABS BY LADY GAGA | Sephora
This is my current cream bronzer and I love it. Blends super easily, has a delicious chocolate scent and never leaves me looking muddy.
Chocolate Soleil Melting Bronzing & Sculpting Stick - Too Faced | Sephora
A true cool-toned contour that blends seamlessly because it is super creamy. It is 30% off since it's Sephora Collection which makes it a no-brainer for the sale.
Cream Contour Stick - SEPHORA COLLECTION | Sephora
Hailey did her big one with this one. I thought it was just influencer hype but no, I fear it really is that good. I have it in 3 shades and just purchased my 4th!
Pocket Blush Buildable Hydrating Cream Blush - rhode | Sephora
Is anyone shocked at this point by another Haus Labs recco? These blushes really are so so so beautiful. The pigment packs a punch but they are very blendable if you go in too heavy at first.
Color Fuse Talc-Free Blush Powder With Fermented Arnica - HAUS LABS BY LADY GAGA | Sephora
Lately I have really been loving this under makeup. It gives a beautiful glow from within.
Saie Glowy Super Gel Lightweight Illuminating Serum | Sephora
Setting Sprays
This deserves all the hype it gets. If you need something to lock your makeup in ALL DAY and ALL NIGHT look no further.
On 'Til Dawn Mattifying Waterproof Setting Spray - ONE/SIZE by Patrick Starrr | Sephora
One/Size is in a league of it's own when it comes to setting products. In my opinion, this is not a longwear protection like on til dawn. Now what this does do is melt all your powder products together beautifully leaving you with no cakey-ness at al...
Powder Melt Glass Setting Spray - ONE/SIZE by Patrick Starrr | Sephora
The mister on this is top tier. I'm gonna be 100% honest, I ran out of this product and poured a drugstore spray inside because I can't let go of this spray bottle.
SurrealSkin® Waterproof Setting Spray with 16HR Wear - MAKEUP BY MARIO | Sephora
The most affordable long-wear option. This really is transfer-proof which I can't say about too many of the liquid sprays on the market.
Makeup Setting Spray - SEPHORA COLLECTION | Sephora
Eyes
I finally got my hands on this stunning palette. I missed out when this was first dropped and have never regretted something so much. This is truly a beautiful and versatile color scheme.
Ethereal Eyes™ Eyeshadow Palette: The Original - MAKEUP BY MARIO | Sephora
UD eyeliners are just built different. When it says 24/7 wear it means LONGWEAR. I have this pencil in: Whiskey, Perversion and Bourbon.
24/7 Glide-On Waterproof Eyeliner Pencil - Urban Decay | Sephora
The quickest eye look out there. Stays all day and does not need to be set. You can't mess this up.
Mini Caviar Stick Eyeshadow - Laura Mercier | Sephora
Just ordered this for the first time. I swatched this in store and the payoff was gorgeous. I am so excited to play around with this.
GoGo Cooling Shimmer 8H Eyeshadow Stick - Tower 28 Beauty | Sephora
The only liquid eyeliner I own. The pigment is incredible, the brush tip is easy to use and clean. The ergonomic shape looked gimmicky to me at first, but it works and it's amazing in supporting the control of your stroke.
24/7 Inks Easy Ergonomic Liquid Eyeliner Pen - Urban Decay | Sephora
Lips
Not super long wearing but the chubby applicator makes it impossible to screw up. I can do my lips in the car with no mirror with this product and I know I won't look crazy.
Peptide Lip Shape Contouring Lip Shaper - rhode | Sephora
Great long wear more affordable lip liner. I have this in quite a few colors. Glides on like a dream, easy to sharpen and great pigment.
Colorful 8HR Longwear Transferproof Lip Liner - SEPHORA COLLECTION | Sephora
I think this product is underrated. It has a beautiful shine when you first put it on your lips but leaves a beautiful stain on the lips. The applicator is easy to use.
Lassi Lips Staining Long-Lasting Moisturizing Lip Oil - Kulfi | Sephora
A classic lip liner. I love that these have the dual end tip with the brush to touch up or blend the liner. Bonus that each pencil comes up with a sharpener. I have this in: Toasty, Dmitry, Almond and Smokey Pink.
Ultra Suede™ Sculpting Lip Pencil - MAKEUP BY MARIO | Sephora
I've had this for about 2 months and it still hasn't dried out and has a lot of product. Super easy to use and I love the color almond.
Flushed Lip Stain 12HR Long-Lasting Lip Tint - Summer Fridays | Sephora
Super high shine with a good pigmented coverage. I love the shade Blaz'D Donut and it is super versatile. Warning: this product will melt if left in a warm car.
Gloss Bomb Stix High-Shine Gloss Stick - Fenty Beauty by Rihanna | Sephora
This product has been around for what feels like forever but I just got a sample of Fu$$y and wore it for the first time and LOVED it. Will be picking up a full size.
Fenty Beauty by Rihanna Gloss Bomb Lip Gloss | Sephora
This tends to be a polarizing product, but I think it's perfect. I have all 3 shades. I wear the mint one to bed every night it is so incredibly hydrating.
Slick Salve Glossy Lip Balm for Soothing + Hydration - Topicals | Sephora
Beautiful longwear and super creamy liner. I will say it is borderline too creamy and can melt or easily break so you've been warned.
Trace'd Out Longwear Waterproof Pencil Lip Liner - Fenty Beauty by Rihanna | Sephora
I love this gloss but the packaging SUCKS and will peel off making a mess, lol.
Super Boost Moisturizing & Plumping Lip Gloss - MAKE UP FOR EVER | Sephora
The best lip treatment to ever exist. If you take no other recommendation of mine seriously this is the one to pay attention to. This product is perfect.
Softwear Exfoliating and Hydrating Daily Lip Treatment with Squalane + AHA - Experiment | Sephora
Fragrance
I love smelling edible and like delish vanilla. This is just a body spray so don't expect longevity, but it's the perfect layering piece.
Mini Vanilla Skin Body & Hair Fragrance Mist - PHLUR | Sephora
I gifted this to my mom for her bday almost two years ago and it is her go-to scent. She is on her second bottle. It's a beautiful santal with a hint of fruity floral.
THE WEDDING SILK SANTAL | 36 Eau de Parfum - KAYALI | Sephora
I've been wanting this perfume since Emma first announced it, but I hadn't pulled the trigger because I wanted to get my nose on it first, but I finally caved and ordered it.
Milk Orchid Expressive Eau de Parfum by @Perfumerism Limited Edition - Commodity | Sephora
A crowd pleaser more genderless scent. Fig dream and a great office perfume because it's not too strong and sits closer to the skin. Not a beast mode perfume.
Father Figure Eau De Parfum - PHLUR | Sephora
This was a Christmas present from my sister and it is such a beautiful, cozy second-skin fragrance. This might sound crazy but I love to spray this one on before bed.
Mini Cashmere Skin Hair and Body Fragrance Mist - PHLUR | Sephora
New packaging is ugly, but it's the inside that matters and this is delectable. If you don't like sweet, don't bother. If you do, trust me.
MARSHMALLOWS Hair and Body Fragrance Mist - Ellis Brooklyn | Sephora
This is the underdog of the glossier you universe. This flanker is my favorite by far. I am a serial travel size perfume buyer and I flew through it and now have a full size bottle. Beautiful, perfect for spring. Not too heavy on the florals, still h...
Glossier You Fleur Eau de Parfum - Glossier | Sephora
When it comes to Dedcool, everyone immediately goes to Milk, but I think Taunt is the ultimate crowd pleaser. It has more projection than milk. This is my purse perfume.
01 "Taunt" Eau de Parfum Travel Spray - DedCool | Sephora
Tools
F4 really is that girl. You could do your whole face with this brush if it came down to it. I use it for cream blushes and bronzers. I own two...
F4 Dual-Ended Foundation and Face Brush - MAKEUP BY MARIO | Sephora
Yes, it's expensive, but it WORKS. I have had mine for going on three years. You invest once and then just keep up with pad refills when needed. I have had horror stories happen to me with other eyelash curlers. I am ride or die for this one.
Eyelash Curler - Shiseido | Sephora
The best concealer brush, it's dense and fits perfectly under the eye. A versatile brush.
Cruelty-Free Concealer Brush - HAUS LABS BY LADY GAGA | Sephora
A very unique puff. I get almost all my puffs and sponges from Amazon, but this one is special.
Tap That Puff Makeup Sponge - SEPHORA COLLECTION | Sephora
Body
I am almost out of this lotion, but it is my favorite to slather on right after the shower before I go to bed. Smells delicious.
Vanilla Verve Nutrient-Rich Body Cream with Niacinamide - CYKLAR | Sephora
This is lux spa-like experience in the shower. I love the scent and it leaves your skin feeling nice and soft.
Sacred Santal Sensorial Body Wash for Moisture Barrier - CYKLAR | Sephora
The most hydrating body butter. It is truly one of a kind when it comes to formula. Some scents are better than others. For the summer, I love topless tangerine.
Topless Tangerine - Whipped Argan Oil Refillable Firming Body Butter Jar - JOSIE MARAN | Sephora
I love this and it smells just like Glossier You. I will say one time I wore this and got a few mosquito bites so do with that what you will, lol.
Crème de You Dry-Touch Body Butter - Glossier | Sephora
This smells delicious. I have found you have to rub it in a little more than some others like Josie Maran but it is still beautiful and will leave you feeling hydrated.
Beija Flor™ Elasti-Cream with Collagen and Squalane - Sol de Janeiro | Sephora
Suncare
Affordable k-beauty sunscreen that works beautifully under makeup. Hydrating and leaves a nice subtle glow.
Day Dew Sunscreen Lightweight SPF 50 - Beauty of Joseon | Sephora
Slightly tinted, looks amazing under makeup or alone. This is way better than the Supergoop glowscreen in my opinion.
Mineral Sun Glow Broad Spectrum Sunscreen SPF 43 PA +++ with Peptides and Vitamin C - INNBEAUTY PROJ
This is a sleeper hit. I loved this sunscreen way more than I expected to. It wears very nicely under makeup. Phenomenal for sensitive skin.
SOS FaceGuard SPF 30 Mineral Sunscreen - Tower 28 Beauty | Sephora
Dries quickly. A great way to get some extra glow while protecting your skin in the summer.
Mini Glow Oil Body Sunscreen SPF 50 PA++++ - Supergoop! | Sephora
