Sephora Sale 2022

 The Sephora Spring Sale started yesterday for Rouge members. 
This is such a great time to stock up on old favorites and try new products you have had your eye on. I always do both.
I've rounded up some of my favorites and I'm sharing what's in my cart when I can ship next week. 
See below for a breakdown of when you can shop based on tier and what % off you'll get.
If you aren't a Beauty Insider yet, sign up NOW! That way you can get 10% off next week when it opens to that tier. 
It's free to join BTW. 
They are also doing 30% off the entire Sephora collection for everyone during the sale. 

I've been gravitating to light/medium coverage foundations lately. I have tried all of these and can tell you I love every single one.
If medium/full coverage is more your thing, I've got you covered with the Lancome Teint Idole Ultra Wear
This is currently my ride or die! It gives such a beautiful glow and feels so light, but still gives me good coverage.
I bought this last year during the sale and it was my everyday foundation all last Summer and into the Fall. A really great budget friendly option.
 *This is 30% off and such a good deal!!
I just picked this up maybe a month ago after seeing it all over the internet. I've only used it a handful of times, but I really like it. Definitely gives you a dewy finish. 
This is very light coverage, but I love it for Summer time. It's very lightweight, but leaves a beautiful glow. Pro tip: Use your fingers to apply instead of a brush or beauty blender. I was a little unsure about this product until I started applying it that way. It turns out wayyyyy better than if you use a beauty blender or brush. 
This has been my go-to for a few years now. It was my everyday foundation for 2-3 years. I still use it for events when I need my makeup to last or if I want fuller coverage. 
I've been wanting this "foundation" since this time last year and I finally got my hands on it about a month ago. (It's always sold out.) I would say this is very comparable to the ILIA one. Both are super lightweight and go on best when using your fingers.
I'm not sure if this is a foundation. I know some people say it's a foundation and some people say it's a primer. And some people say it's both.
I personally like to use it under my makeup for an extra glowy look.

I usually end up buying the most skincare during this sale. Here are some of my favorites! 
SPF is one of the most important things you can use in your skincare routine. I love this for reapplying SPF if you have on makeup or if you're feeling sweaty! 
I honestly am not the biggest believer in eye creams. It's one of my most problematic wrinkle areas and I feel like nothing (other than botox) really helps. That is until I tried this! I've been using it for a month or 2 and I can honestly say that I think my crows feet have improved. Normally I notice them so much. (Especially in photos.) Since using this they aren't the first thing I notice when I look in the mirror, which is a win in my book. 
I freaking love this stuff! I'm not currently using it because #pregnant, but I can't wait to start using again soon. This is a great product if you are new to retinol.
This is my holy grail tanning product. I always have at least 2 bottles on hand. It's super easy to use and gives amazing color payoff.
If you have followed me for any amount of time you have probably heard me talk about this product. If I can influence you to buy anything let it be this. I use this product all day every day. (Even thought it's called a sleep mask.) 
It is the only lip product that I feel like hydrates my lips and doesn't cause them to chap later. The flavors are also to die for! 
I got a sample of this and I love it! I currently have a bunch of back stock of my Olehenriksen Vitamin C Serum, but I'm thinking about trying this one when I run out.
I literally went from not using eye serums to being obsessed! haha This is another newer product, but I am already seeing results so I love it. This definitely helps brighten my under eye area in the morning and I know I will be needing that even more when baby girl is here real soon! 
This is my favorite sunscreen. It doesn't leave me feeling greasy and the ingredients in it are so good! It's expensive, but I LOVE it! 
Another holy grail product for me. I put this on as my last step every night before bed and wake up GLOWING!! It makes my skin look so pretty, plump, & hydrated! 

Let's move onto haircare. I'm definitely not the biggest hair person, but here are a few of my favorites that I keep rebuying.
My hairstylist always used this on me so I decided to try it for myself last Summer. I don't blow dry my hair so I was a little worried it might weigh it down. It definitely doesn't and makes me hair so smooth and shiny. 
This is my favorite dry shampoo ever! It smells so good and I feel like it actually cleans my hair. I feel like a lot of other dry shampoos just sit on the grease and don't actually absorb it. This one definitely absorbs the oil and is how I get away with usually only washing my hair once a week. (It also smells so freaking good!)
It's no secret that Florida is humid AF! My hair and humidity do not mix. (When it's styled.) I decided to give this a try last year and I feel like it definitely helps my curls stay better in the heat. It's also a heat protectant which is very important! 
These are supposed to be so good for your hair. I actually have one, but I haven't used it yet. I currently sleep with my pregnancy pillow so I will have to let you know if I see a difference when I can actually try this pillowcase out. 
I've been using this for years and love it! Gives me hair some grit when I curl it and smells so so good! 
I know Pureology is expensive, but I swear it's worth it if you spend money on your hair. This is definitely my favorite blonde conditioner. 
The matching shampoo to the above conditioner. Smells so good and leaves me hair nice and blonde! 
These are the same brand as the pillowcase above and really good for your hair. I switch between these and the Give me Beauty ones! 
I use this on my hair after it's curled to give it more volume and texture. I also keep a travel size one in my purse for refreshes throughout the day. Since it's a dry spray it doesn't weigh my hair down at all.

Let's talk about makeup. This is probably the thing y'all are shopping for most. 
Here are some products that I love and use in my "daily" (if I wore makeup daily) routine.
This eyeliner is great because it has the pencil on one end so you can sightline and the liquid tip on the other. It's a pretty fine point too so great for wings or cat eye.
This is a multi-tasking stick that can be used as blush, eyeshadow or on your lips. I love using it as a blush and eyeshadow for my quick 5 minute makeup look. Really beautiful for Summer.
This powder is so good! I'm usually not a fan of pressed powder because I always break them, but I am willing to risk it for this one.
This palette is so freaking pretty!! (Especially if you have green eyes.) I love it for weddings and a night out. 
I have so many of these and they are so pretty. I also don't find them super sticky which is nice.
I started using cream products about a year and a half ago and I love them so much more than powders. They look a lot more natural. This one I use in the Summer for contour. 
Another cream product I love. I got one right before Christmas and just bought another more summery pink. 
You've probably seen this mascara a lot on IG and TikTok. I tried it last year during the Fall and loved it. It's a tubing mascara so just note that. 
This is my favorite primer that I keep rebuying. I feel like it works with whatever foundation you use. If it's a matte foundation or dewy it keeps the finish. 
I don't have this palette, but I bought last years version and it is so pretty. Definitely the perfect palette for Summer.

I saw Megan Runion talk about this the other day and immediately added to cart. Can't wait to try it out. 
I love the original version of these so I think I want to try out the plumping version. 
I think I saw Katey Macfarlan share this and I will basically buy anything beauty related that she talks about. I'm not even kidding. If she mentions it I'm instantly intrigued.
Another Katey Mcfarlan rec. Enough said.
Little Blonde Book used this in her everyday makeup tutorial and it looked so pretty on her! I can't wait to try it out!
I've had this in my cart for a while so I am excited to finally pull the trigger. It has really good reviews and I am all about the glowy look lately. 
I've used nothing but Shape Tape for years! I've seen his concealer a lot so I'm thinking it might be time to try something new. 
I've been wearing nothing but Pillow Talk lately. I have the drugstore dupe for this lip liner, but since I've been wearing it so much I think I'll treat myself to the real thing.

Hopefully this helps you with your Sephora shopping.
Send me an email or DM on Insta if you have any questions.

Sephora Spring Sale

 The Sephora Spring Sale starts tomorrow.
If you are unfamiliar with this sale I will break it down below.
This is such a great time to stock up on your favs and try new things. I feel like makeup & skincare never go on sale so definitely take advantage.
Now let me break down for you.
If you are a Rouge member you get 20% off your purchase from 4/9-4/19.
If you are a VIB member you get 15% off your purchase from 4/13-4/19.
If you are a Beauty Insider member you get 10% off your purchase from 4/15-4/19.
You can still sign up if you aren't a member yet and get 10% off.
You can also use your discount multiple times over the event. 
Below I have rounded up some of my favorite makeup, skincare and haircare items. 
These are all items I have used or have in my cart to buy during the sale. 
This is one of my new favorite skincare products.
New nighttime moisturizer. My facialist told me I needed a thicker night cream. The girl at Sephora suggested this one and I like it so far. Haven't been using long enough to really say.
I've been wanting to try this for so long. Think I might finally pull the trigger.
This is one of my favorite masks! 
Holy grail sunscreen hands down! 
This stuff smells amazing and is SUPER moisturizing.
Just bought this to try.
I ran out of my normal Hyaluronic Acid serum and bought this as a quick fix. It's really great especially for this price.
I love this stuff for double cleansing.
Been using this for 2ish years and still love it! The SPF if great and it has zinc, which is what you want. 
This is one of my favorite vitamin C serums. I only bought the other one above to try something new. 


I feel like this gives my hair some extra body & volume.
I've been wanting to try this for so long to see if it actually works. 
This brand is expensive, but I promise it's worth it. I bought it on sale, but when I run out I plan to buy the jumbos. If you are someone that doesn't wash your hair that often it's definitely worth the splurge.
I always keep this in my beach/pool bag. It smells really good and I like the texture it adds.
This is my ride or die favorite product. It says it's a finishing spray, but I use it before I curl my hair. I also just use it to give my hair texture sometimes when it's straight.
This stuff is amazing. I swear you can actually hear it absorbing the oil.
This is my current favorite. I think I have 3 backup cans on my shelf. haha
If you have damaged hair I highly suggest picking this up. I use it as a hair mask once every week or 2 and it helps keep my hair healthy.


This is my favorite brow pencil of all time. I like that it's thicker than the Brow Wiz.
I bought a 4 pack of these during the holidays and I am OBSESSED!!
This is my favorite powder bronzers. I love that it comes with a brush too.
I use this to contour my face and I love it. 
Hands down my favorite lip balm. It comes in a bunch of different flavors. I think I'm going to pick up this new peach one. Or maybe grapefruit. Maybe both. I constantly misplace my lip balm so I can never have enough.
Since my brows are micro-bladed & tinted I use this to brush them up and keep them in place. Swipe on each brow and I'm good to go.
I started using this last year after using loose powder for a long time. I really like the finish this one has. I will say I was reminded a few weeks ago why I stopped using pressed powder... you drop it and it breaks. Ughhh
I just bought this in White Russian and I can't stop wearing it. It has a tingle and slightly plumps your lips.
The colors in this look beautiful. Pretty sure I will be buying this.
I wear this in the color Pillow Talk ALL THE TIME!!! It's my go-to and looks great on everyone.
This is one of those items I always go back to. I have seriously been wearing this since I was a child in dance recitals. It's also hypoallergenic if you have any allergies.
I love this color in this. I think I might buy this pallet as well. Can never have too many eyeshadow pallets. haha
This is my go-to foundation. 90% of the time this is what I am wearing in photos.
I have shared this highlighter a lot recently. If you get it I highly suggest Champagne Pop or Opal.
I've been wanting to try this for a while. I love my Shape Tape, but it's always good to try new things.

What are you looking forward to snagging during the sale? I have mostly makeup in my cart, which is somewhat surprising because the last year or two I feel like it's been mostly skincare. Time to treat myself I guess. haha
Happy shopping!!

Ulta Beauty Love Your Skin Event Week 3

 This is the final week of the Ulta Love Your Skin Event. 
There are some really great products this week. Check them out below. 
(I want to note I'll be updating this as the week goes on. Hoping to finish it all by tomorrow. For some reason every time I go to do this Ulta's site crashes for me after I get through 2-3 days.) 
Available in a plastic bottle here.
This is a mask. Wanted to clarify because I was very confused.

Super curious about this. If you've used this I would love to hear your thoughts.

I used to use this stuff and loved it. Not sure why I stopped honestly. 
Been thinking about trying this out. I LOVE my Clinique one.

Clinique Liquid Facial Soap & Clinique for Men Face Wash

I've heard such good things about these! 
I used to use this product and it's amazing. Really good for a morning eye cream.

Ulta Love Your Skin Event Week 2

 Here are the week 2 deals in the Ulta Love Your Skin Event. 
I wanted to get this up yesterday, but I was not feeling well at all. I literally didn't do anything other than lay on the couch and watch Housewives/read on my kindle! 
Seems like it would be very easy to apply. I don't see that it has zinc in it so not ideal for daily face sunscreen. 
COVER FX Booster Drops
These can be used under, over or mixed with makeup or other skincare products.
Perricone MD Vitamin C Collection:

Boscia

This sounds very intriguing.

Philosophy Peels:

All PÜR Skincare:
There's a ton more! I just picked the highest rated ones.

Ulta Love Your Skin Event Week 1

 The Ulta Love Your Skin event started yesterday! This is similar to their 21 Days of Beauty and Gorgeous Hair event. Each day there will be featured products at a STEEP discount. This event obviously focuses on skin care.
 I've rounded up all the deals for week one below. (I'll do the same each Monday while the event lasts.) 
This is a great time to stock up on your favorites and even try new products. I've made sure to note the ones I love and the ones I would like to try. 
(Online only)
(Online only for Diamond & Platinum members)

This stuff is super gentle. I love Estée Lauder!

Kopari CBD Collection which includes:
I use their regular deodorant and love it. Blog post coming soon on that actually.
Not supposed to be shopping this month, but thinking about making an exception for this. 
This seems very intriguing to me. 
This stuff is AMAZING! I've been using it for years and continue to repurchase. 
Perricone MD High Potency Collection. Here are a few things that includes:
These are kind of like vitamins I would say. Seems very interesting. They do have pretty decent reviews, though I would probably check with your doctor first. 
The above 2 are more CBD infused products. I think this is a trend you still see more and more of in skincare. I was doing a little research on it the other day and it definitely seems there are some benefits. 
I am officially a SUNDAY RILEY stan. I started using it about a month ago and LOVE it. I haven't used the Ceramic Slip, but I can attest to the fact that Good Genes is awesome!

Sephora Fall Sale 2020

The Fall Sephora sale started Friday for Rouge members. Don't worry if you're not Rouge. It starts 11/3 for VIB & 11/5 for Beauty Insiders. If you aren't signed up now is a PERFECT time to do so. You will get 10% off if you're a Beauty Insider, 15% off for VIB and 20% off for Rouge.
If you're not sure what to buy I've got ya covered. I've rounded up some of my favorite things and some things that are in my cart. Since we are so close to the holidays I picked a lot of gift sets. Great to gift friends/family or yourself. 

This has 2 of my favorite lip colors in it! I also love a mini lipstick because if I'm being honest I think I've finished maybe 1-2 full tubes of lipstick in my life.
This is one of my favorite body lotions. It comes in a supersize version for the holidays. Currently in my cart. 
These are supposed to be so good for your skin and hair. This would make a great gift. It's a little pricey so great to buy when there's a sale. 
I bought this a few weeks ago and love it. I used to use the sleep mask and it did wonders for my lips. The gummy bear flavor is so good. 
This is one of my all time favorite dry shampoos. I love that it comes with a full size and travel size. Definitely in my cart.
These lip glosses are so pretty. I definitely will be picking up this set for myself. 
This stuff is INSANE!! I bought it a few weeks ago and loved it!
I got a set of these and am OBSESSED. They are so easy to use and super pigmented. 
This is such a steal! Tarte pallets are amazing and they took some of their best sellers, made them mini and then put them in a gift set.There's also some new limited edition colors in there. 
I love Origins masks. They are super affordable and work really well. This would be great for mask mixing. The charcoal is my favorite. 
I got this a few weeks ago after hearing so many people rave about it! I think I am definitely a fan.
These are some of my favorite hand creams. I love picking up these sets at the holidays because I can keep one in my purse, one at my desk, and one on my nightstand. All the important places.
Ever since cutting my hair shorter earlier this year I have been loving texturizing spray. This is definitely one of my favorites. It also smells AHMAZING.
I feel like so many people have been talking about these lately. I might have to pick some up to try for myself. The colors look really pretty. 

Those are my picks for the current Sephora sale. You can also see my picks from the Spring sale here. Let me know if you have any questions or are looking for something specific. Always happy to help.
Happy shopping.

Nighttime Skin care Routine

Last week I shared my morning skin care routine and today I am back to share my nighttime routine.
I think this is similar to the morning where most things are the same with a few additions/changes.









I am a huge fan of double cleansing. Especially when I wear makeup or actual sunscreen. (Not just what's in my moisturizer.) This step makes me feel like I am getting off most of the makeup, dirt, grim, etc. before using my regular cleanser. I haven't been using it much during quarantine, but definitely a must on a normal day to day basis.
This is still the same cleanser I used in my nighttime routine 2 years ago. I absolutely LOVE this product! I honestly don't know if I will EVER change to anything else. It would have to make some big promises. 
This is one of those "sometimes" steps. I use this mask once a week usually. Every once in a while I will use it twice. This is usually if I have a breakout or an event coming up! This is one of my favorite masks and the only one I use consistently. I usually see my skin clear in a day or two of using it. It's also super reasonably priced! 
I obviously only use this step when needed. This gel is such a lifesaver. I just dab it on any blemishes I may have and will usually see a reaction the next day. This paired with the above mask will have your skin clear in no time! 
If you need hydration in the eye area this is for you. 
I mentioned in my morning skincare post that I am in the market for an eye cream/treatment. I am on the hunt for a new one. (I think I know what I am going to try.) Once I have one that fights wrinkles for nighttime I will switch this to my morning routine.
I feel like this is the big shot in my nighttime routine. It's another product with vitamin C but it also has hyaluranic  acid in it. I used to use two different "serums", but switched solely to this one about a year ago. 
This moisturizer is great. It's super light weight but stills feels extremely hydrating. (This is what I also said I love about my morning moisturizer. I might have said the exact same thing about my Supergoop moisturizer. Can you tell I don't like heavy products?)
I used to use this day and night like the product advertised, but it does contain a small amount of retinol which made me switch to only nighttime. Plus I needed SPF.
Final step in my nighttime routine. I think I started using facial oil a little over a year ago. 
I had heard rave reviews on this one so I decided to spend the money and get a bottle. If my concentrate from Kiehl's is the big shot in my routine this is his little brother that is just as good! 
I have definitely noticed a huge difference since adding this to my lineup. It makes my skin glow and I don't even know what else. Just look better! hah. This is a product I would spend the money on again and again!

So now you know my whole skin routine. There's a few other products here and there, but these are my staples. I might be giving y'all an update on this very soon as I have my eye on a bunch of new skin care items. 
Do you have any holy grail products I should try? I always love hearing new skincare products/brands/etc. I used to love buying new makeup, but I swear as I get older I get more excited about skin care. Give me a new serum over new lipsticks any day now!
