The Sephora Sale goes live on Tuesday, and everyone needs to be on their A Game to get the best deals before they sell out.
Below I have linked EVERY SINGLE ITEM from Sephora that I use + is in stock (now). Getting shopping friends, it’s sale time!
Just so I don’t have to say it over and over in the article, my skin is dry/combo, and I am naturally red, so please take into account your own skin type when reading my skin and primer recommendations!
Skincare
Drunk Elephant Retinol – this is my go-to in terms of retinol solutions. It goes on smooth and makes you feel like a freaking queen when using it.
Dr. Dennis Gross Vitamin C+ Collagen – I shared this on my instagram the other day, but Dr. Dennis Gross is my fav vitamin C cream de jour. It goes on so smooth and you only need the tiniest bit to go a long way.
Sunday Riley CEO Brightening Serum – If the Dr. DG Vitamin C cream is a little out of your price range, this Sunday Riley serum is a great #2. It is a little thicker than the Dr. DG, and the bottle (in my opinion) doesn’t last as long, but it absolutely has very similar effects.
Drunk Elephant Hydration Serum – Yall… this freaking CHANGED my skin. This is going to be a quick seller at the Sephora Sale because of the size of the bottle and how it absolutely can transform your face.
La Mer Soft Cream – Okay I know what you’re thinking… but if you were ever going to give this a whirl, the sale would be a good time. It is so soft and goes on like butter. Plus you feel like an absolute god/goddess while applying.
Sunday Riley Good Genes Lactic Acid – This product is a huge part of my night skincare routine, and has for sure helped my face retain elasticity. If you are in your 20s… you need to start using a lactic acid NOW, so why not try this one out?
Nu Face Toning Device – I have the mini version of this (which has already sold out on the Sephora website). Microcurrent is so great if you are someone who is puffy or wants to have the natural-appearing contoured look.
Kiehl’s Face Wash – this is another one of my holy grail-changed my life-absolutely AMAZING favorites. If you’re still using drug store wash… make this switch now!

Face Makeup
Too Faced Primed and Poreless Primer – This primer is one I have been using for day-to-day makeup wearing, and I really like that it makes your face smooth without giving you acne or drying you out. If you have dry/combo skin, this is a good, affordable buy.
Becca First Light Priming Filter – I wear this primer whenever I am doing a photoshoot, because it balances out my skin imperfections so they look good on camera. If you are going to be in a wedding or another large event soon, consider investing! My fellow blogger friends, try this out!
Becca Skin Love Brightening Primer – I got a sample of this the last time I bought my Becca First Light Primer, and I LOVE it. If you are going to be out and about and can’t be doing touchups, this primer keeps it all in place all day long.
Charlotte Tilbury Hollywood Flawless Filter – I am shade 3 light/medium – okay I was a little skeptical of this product when all of the influencers I follow started promoting it. If you wear thick foundation, it is not worth the buy. That being said, if you are more of a tinted moisturizer or BB cream gal or guy, this really does give you such a dewy complexion.
Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer – I am shade 2N1 Nude – I love that this is SPF 30, and it is my fav for running errands or a casual girls dinner. It is included in the Sephora shade finder, so if you want to find your shade you absolutely can.
Make Up For Ever Ultra HD Foundation – This is my fav for the summer because it STAYS on, and if you get Mystic tans, it matches the dark perfectly in shade R330. Buy during the sale and wear when we are released! Perfect. This foundation is buildable, but a little less thick than the Estee Lauder Double Wear.
Estee Lauder Double Wear Foundation – I am shade 2C0 “cool vanilla” in the winter and 3C1 “dusk” when tan/summer – my only recommendation here is don’t forget to buy a pump! This foundation is high coverage, but stays on all day.
Bobbi Brown Bronzing Powder – I wear “natural” for my contour – I love this powder for when I am doing a full face contour. It really brings out your cheekbones
Bobbi Brown Sheer Finish Pressed Powder – I wear Soft Sand – for the areas that don’t require loose powder, this is my go-to. I love that you can throw it in a bag and take it with you for little touch ups without making a mess.
Too Faced Sun Bunny Bronzer – This is my FAV and absolutely something you need to invest in. It lasts forever and looks good with essentially every pale-to-medium skin tone.
Laura Mercier Translucent Setting Powder – Okay I know all of you probably already have this… but if you DON’T the Sephora sale also has a mini in stock if you’ve been wanting to try it out.
Tarte Rosy Nude Blush – I don’t wear blush often, but when I do it is this one. It is buildable and looks REALLY good on, especially when I am tan.
Urban Decay All Nighter Setting Spray – Another cult favorite that also comes in a mini during the Sephora sale if you’re wanting to try it out.

Eyes
Too Faced Just Peachy Eyeshadow Pallet – I got this as a gift so naturally it turned into one of my favorites. Plus, it smells soooo good!
Too Faced Chocolate Gold Eyeshadow Pallet – One of my college roommates turned me onto this pallet and I love it, especially during the fall when darker colors come into play
UD Naked2 Basics Palette – If you’re new to eyeshadow or just want something a little bit more basic, this is a great one to get. It has all the nude tones you could ever look for
KVD Tattoo Eyeliner – The KVD is another product that has a cult following, and it absolutely will stay on all night. Only buy this product if you consider yourself a “professional” at doing liquid eyeliner – once you put it on, it is not coming off.
Tarte Sex Kitten Liquid Liner – If you do NOT consider yourself a professional (me!) this is my recommendation. It comes off easier but still has a lasting life on the eye.
Urban Decay Lash Primer – This is the primer I used for YEARS and it really is so great for the money. That being said, my favorite dupe is here
Too Faced Better than Sex Mascara – Another cult favorite, I absolutely love it. If it is sold out, my favorite dupe is here.
Dior Show Mascara – for a limited time, you can get a lash maximizer mini for free with this mascara – click here. If you’re balling on a budget, my favorite that is similar, but less expensive is Tarte Big Ego (comes in mini size during the sale if you want to give it a try!)

Lips
Lip Sleeping Mask – I’m one of those people that ALWAYS has dry lips, and I am actually testing this out for the first time along with yall.
CT Lip Cheat Lip Liner – I wear shade Hot Gossip – A great liner that stays on all day. What more can I say?
Huda Beauty Lip Contour Pencil – I wear shade Bombshell – Another one of my liner favs. Lasts forever and doesn’t break easily.
CT Pillow Talk Lipstick – comes in a mini (here) if you want to try it out – If you’ve been turned off by the price but have been wanting to try, now is your time to shine
Marc Jacobs: Le Marc Lip Creme – SO much fun to play with and one of the best lipsticks that doesn’t dry you out
Dior Addict Lip Maximizer Gloss – I wear shade 001 – ok I wore this over to my parents house and my mom accused me of getting “lip botox”. It works I swear
Bobbi Brown Luxe Lipstick – I wear Bahama Brown – such a pretty color if you like pinkesh brown
Sugar Lip Balm – I wear Sugar Rose Tinted – I didn’t understand the hype until I jumped on the bandwagon. Now I TOTALLY understand the hype. It’s a lipstick that is not a lipstick, you know?

Hair Care
Living Proof Dry Shampoo – I LOVE this stuff. It goes on clear, so you don’t have to sit around bopping your head trying to get the white out. Absolute must.
Kerastase Conditioner – Kerastase has absolutely changed my hair for the better. The texture is so great now. If you’ve been wanting to test it out, the Sephora sale is absolutely the time to buy
Kerastase Shampoo – See above – buy now while it is on sale!
Living Proof Perfect Hair Day Volumizer – If you’re like me and absolutely SUCK at teasing your hair, this is a great alternative to give your roots a little boost.
Kerastase Blow Dry Primer – If you are not using a primer, you are essentially ruining your hair every time you add heat. Stop… and go shop this while it is on sale. It’ll go quick.

Tanning
St Tropez Classic Mousse – This is my favorite tanner on earth for if I need a tan quick. One day later it looks so good
Tan Luxe Tanning Drops – Add these to your face cream in the morning for a glow that builds throughout the day!
Isle of Paradise Tanning Mousse – If you’re someone who wants a tan that is buildable, go this route rather than the St. Tropez. This lets your tan progress rather than turning you orange over time, but takes longer to show up.
St. Tropez Tanning Mitt – Do not do self tanner without a mitt. Listen or regret it, believe me. Get this one on sale!

Fragrances
Gabrielle Chanel Perfume – My newest add to my collection, it makes me feel so luxe.
Tory Burch Mini Trio – I wear Love Relentlessly, and my bottle just ran out. Excited to get more and to be able to try two of the others as well! This would be a great Mother’s Day gift as well
Chance Chanel – For a spring day, this scent will make you so happy.
Jo Malone English Pear and Freesia – This is my go-to for day-to-day use. My old boss actually introduced me to it and I can’t thank her enough!
Bleu de Chanel – Harry’s go to for day to day. I love it! Ladies: think upcoming birthdays, anniversaries, or even fathers day!
