Sephora Spring Sale 2020

It's finally here! The Sephora spring sale.
I've rounded up lots of products for y'all to grab during this sale. 
Depending on your status you can get 20%, 15% or 10% off your purchase. Any discount is great because so many of these brands NEVER go on sale. 
I've got 2 different round ups for you in this post. 
The first on is what's in my cart that I will definitely be buying. 
The second is products I have and love or have heard good things about and may or may not pull the trigger on. 
You can also reference my morning and night time skin care routines for some additional products.
What I'm buying from the sale:
I'm super excited about this bundle. This is my normal morning moisturizer along with 2 of their sunscreens.
Y'all know I currently use their truth serum. (And have been for over 2 years now.) This is their new vitamin C serum and I have seen the Truth Serum is for people new to vitamin C and this is kind of the next step.
I currently use their Phoenix oil and LOVE it. Thinking of trying this, but also just might stick with what I know works. This one is a little cheaper which is the only reason I'm thinking of trying it. 
I've gone through 2 samples of this so I think it's time to buy the full size. It's a great primer and I love that it's more of a gel. 
I'm currently using the Laneige one, but it's not clean. I don't exclusively use clean beauty, but I like to use as much as possible. I've heard good things about this one so I thought I would try it.  
Restocking this. Been using it for a few years now and really see a difference. You can read more about it in my post here.
I have the sample version of this and I'm obsessed! It leaves me lips feeling super hydrated and I love the color. Great for summer! 
I got the sample size to try a while ago and I really like it. I have to be careful with lotions and scented products because of allergies. This one so far has not given me a reaction and it smells so heavenly. Buying the big version this time.
I'm gonna pull the trigger on this during the sale and try this as my new nighttime eye serum. The reviews are really good. It's a little pricey, but I'm hoping it will live up to the hype. 
Products I have and love or am on the fence about buying:
This stuff is amazing for your hair. If your hair is in need of repair I cannot recommend this enough.
They currently have a value size so I would recommend getting that one. 
If you need a relatively inexpensive makeup wipe I really like this. 
This is such a great yet inexpensive skincare brand. A friend of mine works in the skincare industry and gave me a rundown on The Ordinary a few years ago. Basically they take the pretty packaging out of it and charge you what you should actually be charged for products. (That's the super short condensed version.)
 I've used a few of their products and loved all of them. I would use this specific oil at night instead of the phoenix one I use or sometimes I'll mix a drop into my foundation for a dewy look. 
I have a sample of this and really like it. I'm not currently in the market for new foundation though. 
The foundation I currently use is Lancome Teint Idole Ultra Long Wear Foundation. I used to wear Doublewear and like this one way better! 
This is probably my favorite nude lipstick EVER! I love that this is a mini set with liner and lipstick. Definitely recommend picking this up. 
This is the bronzer I always use and they currently have a jumbo version. I picked it up about a month ago and I don't think I will ever finish it. 
This is my absolute FAVORITE sunscreen. It goes on so great and doesn't leave me feeling oily or greasy at all. It seriously absorbs so well. It's also a clean beauty product which is always great! Pricey, but totally worth it in my opinion. (It comes in SPF 50 too. I use 30 though.) 
Great time to stock up on self tanner. (I have 2 backup bottles so that's why I'm not buying.) I seriously don't know how I lived so long without self tanner. Newest obsession. Here's the mitt I use too.
I've been debating trying this dry shampoo for a while. I've heard amazing things about it. I might finally pull the trigger this time.
This is a mask that I absolutely love. It always leaves my skin feeling super soft and hydrated.
This is probably my favorite shampoo. It smells so good and really tones my hair. If you aren't blonde I recommend using one of their other shampoos because it smells so so good. All their products do.
This is the conditioner. I use both.
This is the deodorant I just started using. It smells so good and it's aluminum free and all that other good stuff. I have been on a pretty long journey with natural deodorant. I think this one is finally the winner. It is a little expensive for deodorant so I recommend getting it on sale when you can. 
Can also do a whole blog post on my natural deodorant journey if y'all want. Just lmk.
Thinking about getting a new blush. I feel like this is the one makeup thing I don't have a ton of. I also feel like blush and highlighter take me FOREVER to go through so how many do I actually need? 
I always love sharing new mascara with y'all. This is one that I really love. It gives mega volume, but doesn't feel super heavy. Am I the only one that feels like sometimes mascara can feel heavy? 

Looking at these lists there's so much skin care. I was just telling my friends the other day that I used to stock up on so much makeup during this time and now all I care about is skin care items. Funny how things change with age. 
What are you looking to get during this sale? I love hearing about new products. Leave them in the comments for me to check out.

Nsale 2019 Beauty Buys

Today I'm sharing my #Nsale Beauty picks. The best news is that all of them are still in stock. The beauty buys never seem to go as quickly as the apparel, but that doesn't mean there aren't good deals in this category. Check out my favorites below. 
(I've heard so many good things about this color! Definitely think I need to try it out.)
(I LOVE this sunscreen!!)
(I love Drybar products and the packaging is too cute!)
(I can't wear perfume, but if I could I would wear this one.)
(I love this eyeliner and have been wanting to try the shadow. I will be picking this up ASAP!)
(I've seen this on so many instastories I am surprised it's still in stock. I'm a huge fan of Mac lip products so I highly suggest this.)
(This stuff is awesome and a great price!)
(Used the setting spray and primer before and LOVE it. The primer is perfect to throw on when you are running errands on Saturday and don't want to wear makeup. I just put on my serum and that and go out the door!)
(These look like great colors for Fall/Winter)
(My mom uses this stuff and swears it's the best. I'll take her word for it and try it out. You should too. She's picky about her skincare... especially moisturizers.)
(Great for the guy in your life.)

Sephora Sale Picks

Y'all!!!
I am so excited!!
Tomorrow the Sephora VIB Spring Sale starts and that is basically one of the best days of the year in my book. If you have no idea what I'm talking about here's the run down. Starting tomorrow depending on your status at Sephora (Beauty Insider, VIB, VIB Rouge) you will receive 10-15% off your purchase. I can hardly contain my excitement!! Because of this I thought I would put together a "shopping list" to help y'all decide what to buy. There is a mixture of old favorites and new things I want to try. I think the main things I want are skin care related.  Lately I've been pretty content with my makeup collection (girl say WHAT?!?) so I'm starting to focus more on serums, masks, and under eye creams. I've put a few notes where I could below to try and help y'all out. As always, if you have any questions, feel free to leave them in the comment below or send me an email @ fashionablylateblonde@gmail.com

Kiehl's Creamy Eye Treatment with Avocado
(OBSESSED with this stuff! The travel size is a better deal but it's currently sold out. I highly suggest trying it out!)
Origins Super Spot Remover Blemish Treatment Gel
Anastasia Beverly Hills Liquid Lipstick
(Rio and Carina are great colors for summer.)
Anastasia Beverly Hills Soft Glam Eyeshadow Pallet
(When I got my makeup done for a wedding the girl used this and it was AMAZING! Been thinking about trying something new and this might be it.)
Too Face Melted Matte Liquified Long Wear Lipstick
(I just got It's Happening and Sell Out and I can't stop wearing them!)
Glam Glow FLASHMUD Brightening Treatment
(This stuff is a little pricey, but well worth it!)
Nars Radian Creamy Concealer
(My go-to foundation)
Marc Jacobs Velvet Noir Major Volume Mascara
Becca Shimmering Skin Perfector Pressed Highlighter
(Everyone swears by Champagne Pop but I love Opal!)

I hope this helps y'all out!
Happy shopping girlfriend!
