My friend Emily and I trekked it out to the Somerset Mall for some retail therapy and found ourselves at the Sephora store during the sale loading up those mini carts with a mix of our beloved products plus a couple new skincare and hair items. (If you’re a VIB, you get 15% off and if you’re Rouge, you get 20% off with code SUMMERSAVE through August 27.)
Read on for a breakdown of what I purchased during the Sephora Sale.
Stocking up on my favorite products
Charlotte Tilbury Pillow Talk lipstick, Laura Mercier tinted moisturizer (the new version) and Nars concealer are just a few of the products I use on repeat (and stock up on during sales!)
If you love a nude lip, the Charlotte Tilbury lipstick in pillow talk is very natural and enhances your natural lip (paired with the lip cheat lipliner too that I already previously stocked up on.) I also love this matte revolution lipstick in very victoria too!
I prefer a tinted moisturizer–something that doesn’t feel heavy or caky on my skin but helps even out my skin tone, and help with moisturizing. And my most beloved tinted moisturizer is Laura Mercier, plus it comes in fresh new packaging!
I never used concealer really up until a couple years ago and realized how much of a difference it makes to make me look awake. Nars radiant creamy concealer is incredibly easy to apply and blend too.
The new products in rotation
I’ve started incorporating Keihl’s products like their hydrating cleanser that pulls off all my make up without stripping my skin and then I wanted to find a few more products to help hydrate my skin that weren’t incredibly expensive.
The ultra facial cream 1.7 oz was just $30 and a little goes a long way! And great for dry skin. The hydro-plumping re-texturizing serum concentrate was a little more at $59, but I struggle with dullness, dryness and uneven texture–and this product promises to clinically improve these areas on skin! So I’ve been using both products day and night.
I also bought the brand new $28 Olaplex No. 7 Bonding Oil after hairstylist Kaelyn told me how much it’s improved the health of her hair (and her hair looked SO fabulous.) This product repairs damaged hair and repairs/strengthens hair structure. And it improves shine and texture! It also provides heat protection and a little bit goes a long way.
