Are you shopping the Sephora sale? I’m using this opportunity to stock up on a few products I already use and picking up a few new things I’ve wanted to try. In this post, I’m sharing my favorite items from the sale plus the items I’m purchasing. All the products I’m highlighting here are ones that I use all the time and would recommend.
Before I share what products I recommend, you should know that my skin type leans toward the dry side. The products I look for are mostly for dry, dull, mature skin. I can’t speak to the efficacy of these products for those with a different skin type.
New Products I’m Purchasing
Besides restocking some of the products below, I am purchasing three new items to try out. Some of these products may seem a little pricey, but I justify this by keeping my beauty budget lower in other areas. I don’t get botox or lash extensions. I do my nails at home, and I only get my hair colored every 9 months. If you’re looking for more affordable products, I recommend The Ordinary skincare brand. I have used many of their products, but I really like this hyaluronic acid, this Buffet Anti-Aging Serum, and this glycolic acid.
These are the new products I’m purchasing from the Sephora sale:
Sunday Riley A+ High Dose Retinol Serum // I’ve heard amazing things about this retinol so I’m splurging on it during the sale. I’ll let you know if it’s worth the price!
Farmacy Honeymoon Glow AHA Resurfacing Night Serum // I’m always looking for products that are going to give my skin a little glow. This one also comes highly recommended.
HUM Nutrition Collagen Love Skin Firming Supplement // I’ve tried to take collagen in powder form, but, not only am I always forgetting, I also find the process of mixing it into my coffee a little annoying. I’m going to try and add it to my supplement routine since it’s something I already do daily.
Sephora Sale Favorites
Isle of Paradise Self Tanning Drops
These are the drops I use daily to give my face a little glow (I use something different on the rest of my body.) I add four drops to my moisturizer before applying to my face and neck.
Biossance Squalane + Marine Algae Eye Cream
I love this eye cream. It feels super luxe and creamy, plus it instantly smooths the fine lines around my eyes. It doesn’t erase them, but plumps the skin which makes the lines appear less pronounced.
This is the foundation I use when I’m shooting photos or glamming up a bit for date night. It provides a medium coverage without feeling too heavy.
This is my go-to moisturizer. It’s lightweight enough to wear under make-up but is still very hydrating. I use it at night, too.
I know this seems like a product that isn’t really necessary, but for someone with chronically dry lips, this has work wonders for me. I actually received a sample of it a year ago and liked it so much I had to order. I use it nightly!
Ilia Limitless Lash Lengthening Mascara
I shared about this in my spring make-up post! I love this mascara. It lengthens and separates beautifully and doesn’t leave you with black smudges under your eyes at the end of the day.
This is my everyday foundation. It feels virtually weightless on my skin but still provides a good amount of coverage. This is the perfect foundation for the hot summer months ahead. It also has hyaluronic acid which hydrates the skin.
I wash my hair about once per week using this brand. It’s made my frizzy heat damaged hair much more soft and smooth. Plus, they have different formulations for fine, medium, and thick hair.
Briogeo Don’t Despair, Repair Deep Conditioning Mask
This is another hair product that is helping to improve the texture of my hair. I use it once per week, and it always leaves my hair feeling so soft.
