SKIN
MURAD RENEWING CLEANSING CREAM – this is my HOLY GRAIL facial cleanser that I have been using for YEARS. I have lost count with how many bottles I have gone through. This cleanser removes all of my makeup, and leaves my skin feeling super clean, clear, and hydrated.
FRESH BLACK TEA AGE-DELAY EYE CREAM – This eye cream is pricey, but to me, it’s worth the splurge, especially during the sale! This is the only eye cream I have found that hydrates very well but also looks great under makeup and doesn’t cause my concealer to crease. I have also seen an improvement in the lines under my eyes, so that’s a huge win for me!
CLINIQUE MOISTURE SURGE INTENSE – This is by far the best moisturizer I’ve ever tried from Sephora. I am someone who switches up my moisturizer every time I finish a tub or bottle, but this is one I will absolutely be repurchasing. This is like a huge drink of water for my skin, and it makes it look so hydrated, healthy, and youthful. It also has such a luxurious texture and feels so amazing on the skin.
PHILOSOPHY FRESH CREAM BODY LOTION – my favorite smelling lotion of ALL TIME. I cannot even tell you guys how many bottles of this I have gone through, but it’s A LOT lol. It smells like cotton candy vanilla cookies haha. I apply this only on my chest area and arms and just use regular lotion everywhere else so that I don’t use this up.
CLARISONIC FACE CLEANSING BRUSH – I use this brush to deep cleanse my skin about 3 times a week. I think that everyone should have some type of cleansing brush in their skincare collection. This brush will cleanse your skin 10x deeper than using your actual hands, and it also gets rid of excess dirt, oil, and dead skin.
LANEIGE LIP SLEEPING MASK – do yourself a favor and just GET THIS. It is the best thing I have ever used on my lips, hands down. I apply this at night before bed and in the morning as part of my skincare routine. It makes my lips so soft and hydrated, and I haven’t had to use a lip scrub since I’ve started using this. My lips are no longer dry or crusty lol. And one jar of this will last you at least 6 months!
TOO FACED HANGOVER RX PRIMER – this is one of my favorite primers ever! When it comes to primers, I don’t think there are any from the drug store that compare to high end (believe me, I’ve tried them all). This specific primer would be great for you if you have dry – normal skin because it hydrates your skin while also locking your foundation in place. This almost feels like it has a moisturizer consistency, and it smells amazing!
MILK MAKEUP HYDRO GRIP PRIMER – another primer favorite! I personally love this one because it’s really sticky, which gives your makeup something to hold onto. With this primer, your makeup will NOT BUDGE. But if you’re not into that sticky feeling, then I would go with the Too Faced one that I mentioned first!
NARS NATURAL RADIANT LONGWEAR FOUNDATION – the BEST high end foundation I’ve ever tried! This provides the most beautiful, velvety, smooth finish to your skin. The only way I can describe it is like a porcelain doll lol. This foundation will work well with any skin type because the finish is not dewy, but it’s not matte. And a little goes such a long way. You only need a few small pumps for your entire face, and the coverage is amazing. (I use the shade Aruba)
IT COSMETICS CC CREAM – If you are someone who loves glowy, dewy skin and need something that is going to cover your redness or blemishes, then look no further. This CC cream has amazing coverage and will give your skin that dewy, healthy glow while also protecting from the sun (SPF 50). This is definitely a product I will be repurchasing during this sale! (I use shade Tan)
BARE MINERALS LOOSE POWDER FOUNDATION – For my girls who like a more natural look and want a foundation that’s quick and easy, this is it! Just buff this into your skin with a buffing brush and it will give your skin the healthiest, subtle glow. This doesn’t have a ton of coverage, but it will even out your skin tone and give a very natural finish. (I use the shade 19 Tan)
BARE MINERALS TINTED MOISTURIZER – if you are looking for a great tined moisturizer, this is it! You can apply this with your fingers or with a brush. This is more of a gel consistency, and you aren’t going to get a lot of coverage, but if you’re looking for something to just bring a little bit of color back to your face and give you a natural glow, you will love this. (I use the shade Dune 7.5)
NARS RADIANT CREAMY CONCEALER – this concealer has the best coverage and is very hydrating, which is the best of both worlds. There’s nothing I hate more than a concealer that makes my under eyes dry, which is why I prefer a more hydrating concealer. Then when you set it with translucent powder, it just has the smoothest finish and makes your under eyes look flawless! I also use this concealer when I don’t have a lot of time to do my makeup and don’t want to wear foundation. I’ll just use this to spot conceal all over my face. (I use the shade Ginger for under my eyes, and shade Caramel for my face)
LAURA MERCIER TRANSLUCENT SETTING POWDER – my favorite powder for setting your concealer. This powder will last you AGES! It gives such a flawless and smooth finish and will prevent your concealer from creasing throughout the day.
HOURGLASS AMBIENT LIGHTING BRONZER – this bronzer will give your skin that glowy, “just got out of the sun” look, which I love! The finish is very luminous and natural and it blends like a dream. (I use the shade Radiant Bronze Light)
MAKEUP FOREVER PRO BRONZE FUSION – another favorite bronzer! The formula of this product is so hard to explain, but when this is applied, it just looks like your skin…. but better. This one is not as luminous and glowy as the Hourglass one, but it has a very skin-like finish and isn’t powdery or blotchy like some bronzers can be. I also love to use this on my eye lids as eye shadow to give my eyes more dimension. (I use the shade 30M)
ANASTASIA STICK FOUNDATION – I actually don’t use this as a foundation. I use this as a cream bronzer (I get a shade that is a few shades darker than my skintone). This product blends out so flawlessy and gives my skin a very natural bronze look. If you are someone who likes cream bronzers, try this out. You won’t be disappointed! (I use the shade Ebony)
NARS LIQUID BLUSH – I love to use this product when I just want a natural flush of color to my cheeks. I apply one drop to my hand (a little goes a long way), blend it out on my hand first, then apply a tiny bit to my cheeks and build up as I need to. This product is so pigmented, so you definitely don’t want to apply this directly to your face. I am someone who loves cream and liquid products because they are just more natural looking, so if you are like me, then you will LOVE this blush! (I use the shade Dolce Vita)
BECCA PRESSED HIGHLIGHTER – if you are looking for the most beautiful, blinding highlight, this product will be your best friend. I personally love the shade “Champagne Pop”. I think it is the perfect shade for any skintone. I apply this to the high points of my cheeks, down the center of my nose, on my brow bone, and on the inner corner of my eyes. This will make your skin glow to the heavens.
HOURGLASS AMBIENT LIGHTING POWDER – If you buy any product from this list, BUY THIS ONE. I cannot do my makeup without using this powder, even if it’s a 5 minute makeup look, this is a product I will never skip. I basically apply this all over my face lol. It gives my skin the most gorgeous, natural, “glow from within” finish. If you are someone who doesn’t like a super blinding highlight, but you still want your skin to glow, then this product will blow you away! This is a product I will never ever EVER stop using. (I use the shade Euphoric Strobe Light)
BENEFIT PRECISELY, MY BROW PENCIL – I just started using this product and I am hooked! It glides on so smoothly and makes doing your brows so much easier. And it’s waterproof! (I use shade 4)
IT COSMETICS BROW POWER PENCIL – another brow pencil that I absolutely love. If you are someone who has full brows already but just wants something that will give your brows that natural shading in sparse areas, then I would go for this one! If you don’t have full brows, then I would go with the Benefit pencil I just mentioned above. (This comes in one shade that works for every skin tone)
ANASTASIA CLEAR BROW GEL – I cannot do my brows without setting them with this gel. This will keep your brows in place all day long!
BENEFIT BAD GAL BANG MASCARA – I have tried so many high end mascaras, and to be honest, I always go back to my Loreal Telescopic Carbon Black. However, there are a couple of high end mascaras that I think are worth the money, like this one! This mascara gives my lashes really great length, and makes them look long and whispy. It’s also buildable, so if you want a little more volume, then you can pack it on and you’ll get a more dramatic lash.
IT COSMETICS SUPERHERO MASCARA – I personally LOVE a thick, spidery lash. If you are the same, then you should definitely try this mascara! It makes your lashes SO full , thick, and dramatic.
URBAN DECAY PRIMER POTION – this product will keep your eye shadow from creasing all day long. I apply it right before my eye shadow and blend it out with a small brush. Not only will it keep your eye shadow from creasing, but it also brings out the color in your shadow.
TARTELETTE IN BLOOM PALETTE – I will be honest and say that I do not have a ton of high end eye shadow palettes because I don’t really feel the need for them when there are SO many affordable eye shadow palettes out there. But I will say that this palette is one that I love and use very often! I also think this palette has such a good range of shades and would work for any skin tone. And it smells like CHOCOLATE.
FENTY GLOSS BOMB – the best gloss you will ever use, hands down. Not sticky, pigmented, makes your lips shiny but not TOO shiny, and lasts for a long time. I use the shade “Fenty Glow” and I think it’s the perfect shade for any skin tone.
HAIR
LIVING PROOF DRY VOLUME BLAST SPRAY – I spray this in my roots and massage in for instant volume! I also spray this throughout my hair if I want even more volume.
OUAI WAVE SPRAY – this spray will give your hair those textured, beachy waves that we all want. It will also help them to stay! I spray this throughout my hair when I use a curling wand and it just makes them look a lot more “lived in” and natural. It doesn’t make your hair crunchy or sticky, which I love!
I think that’s it for my picks! If y’all have any other favorites that you don’t see on this list, leave them in the comments! I am always looking for new products to try! Thank you so much for reading, and if you aren’t already, come join my fam over on Instagram!
