Spring 2020 Sephora Sale!

No Comments

Hi guys! The spring 2020 Sephora sale has begun, and while I normally do a big series of posts split up amongst categories, but this time I really just want to share what I’ve personally ordered. I also put the sale codes here so you’re ready! I stocked up on my Josie Maran skin care, which I love. I also got a tub of the Devacurl super stretch curl cream since I’ve been trying to wear my hair in its natural texture more often. I also ordered the large size of Olaplex #3. I ordered two new products to try- a Milk Makeup lip and cheek color mini, and a Nudestix all-over face color. I’ll review them as I try them. What are you ordering in this sale?

Sephora Sale November 2019 Recommendations

No Comments

Hey guys! As I usually do, I wanted to provide some recommendations for this year’s November Sephora Sale! I wanted to do one big post rather than multiple ones by category, just to make it easier for you guys, like a one-stop-shop. Makeup Hourglass Hylauronic Skin Tint is my FAVORITE skin base right now, it has really good medium/buildable coverage, which I love to thin out and make more sheer with an illuminator for an easy everyday look. Lashstash is my favorite kit style product from Sephora. It’s a bunch of mascaras in a box, in minis! It’s a fun way to try out a bunch of different mascaras and not feel so guilty about throwing out a full-sized mascara 4-6 weeks in (as you truly should). It’s good value! Hourglass Ghost Palette – If I had $100 to throw around, this is what I’d buy! I have a previous…

November 2018 Sephora Sale – Holy Grail Makeup

No Comments

Hey guys! The November Sephora sale has begun for VIB Rouge (today is the last day of the Rouge weekends using code ROUGEBONUS) and I’ve decided my first recommendation post will be about holy grail, popular, cult favorite makeup products I’ve noticed regularly sell out during VIB sales. VIB Shoppers will be able to shop November 9-12th, and VIB Rouge will be excluded from using their codes during that time. Let’s get into it! I’ve split this up amongst categories for ease. Primers, Foundations and Concealers My favorite foundations are almost all available at Sephora, so they’re included in the widget below, as well as a few that I know friends and family love. Right now, I’m personally using the Nars Sheer Glow foundation (in “siberia”, bless me). Powder Products – Blushes, Bronzers and Finishing Powders I love a good blush and bronzer, and recently I’ve been liking certain finishing powders…

Sephora VIB Sale Recommendations – Fall 2018

No Comments

Hey guys! This is a bit of a surprise post I imagine for a lot of us- I certainly didn’t realize until I got my VIB Rouge email that there was a Sephora VIB sale occurring this month at all! The sale opened for VIB Rouge members last Friday and will continue offering 20% off with the code YESROUGE until September 3rd- this time, the code is single-use online, and unlimited use in-store. Sneaky Sephora on that single-use thing for online. VIB Insiders can start enjoying their 15% off on August 30th using the code YESVIB, and Beauty Insiders will receive 10% off if they use the code YESINSIDER. Since this is generally the most generous discounts available for the year, I like to consider this sale as my “stock up” sale, because I’ll buy things that I will need to buy anyhow- skin products, my everyday foundation, powder, mascara. Anything new…

Spring 2018 Clothing Haul – Nothing Over $50!

No Comments

I’m so, so, so excited about today’s post because it’s a collective clothing haul and absolutely nothing is over $50. I recorded a video where I try on each item and talk about it because I wanted you guys to have a chance to see how these items look on a very “average” body, not just the models online! Some of these pieces may no longer be online or available since this was a collective haul that was ongoing for about 2 months, but I’ve done my best to link similar items in similar price points so that you can achieve the same looks for a great price. My tips are definitely to shop the Walmart clearance section, Walmart in general (they have some pretty cute stuff, don’t doubt me!), Costco’s clothing section, Old Navy sales (and clearance) and Joe Fresh! Outfit One was a striped flare sleeve dress from…

Sephora Spring 2018 Sale

No Comments

Hey guys! The Sephora Spring sale is starting this Friday for Rouge members (next weekend for VIB’s and Beauty Insiders!) and like most people, I’ve been considering what I might like to buy in the sale! My opportunity to stock up is really downgraded by my tax bill, but I’ve still been looking and considering as I have some gift cards. Bronzer To me, bronzer is the perfect item to purchase in spring/summer. Like most people, I get into a “less makeup” mode in the spring and summer and love focusing on fresh, bronzed and simple looks. My longtime love is Nars Laguna bronzer, but I’d also love to try the liquid version sometime. Becca and Tarte both have great options too (Becca is a little more wearable if you’re pale like me) and I’d LOVE to try a bronzer from Hourglass sometime! Bright lip color I love adding a…

Sephora Sale 2017- Gifts

No Comments

Hey guys! This is my final post about the 20% off Sephora sale, and it’s all about awesome gift options! If you have a beauty lover in your life and you’re on a budget, this is an opportunity to purchase something for them that you may not normally be able to! I’ve linked below some awesome ideas for gifting- from a ton a cult favorite mini mascaras, to gorgeous face palettes, to skincare and lipsticks more expensive than most can justify. When giving beauty gifts, I try to give something fun or that I know the person has been coveting. For those who have messaged me asking about my most recent instagram photo- the palette pictured is currently sold out at Sephora, but it is the Hourglass Ambient Lighting Edit Volume 3 and I’ve linked it for you in case it comes back in stock! Becca Après Ski Glow Face…

Sephora Sale 2017- Skincare and Haircare

No Comments

Hi guys! Welcome to the second post of my Sephora Sale 2017 series! This one is alllll about the skincare and haircare, so let’s get started! Skincare: When it comes to skincare, I’m pretty picky. I have issues with extreme dryness and eczema that tries to take over my life, so when I find a product that works… I just stick with it. When I do venture out, it’s usually in a sample (since things so often don’t work) or within the same brands. For a serum, I love the Biotherm Life Plankton Essence, or the Aquasource Deep Serum. For moisturizer, I like Aquasource Nuit, whether it’s night or not, because of its soothing gel consistency. My favorite mask of all time is the Life Plankton Mask. My favorite face wash is Philosophy Purity, because I’m a bit lazy at times and it also removes eye makeup. My new favorite…

Sephora Sale 2017- Beauty

No Comments

Hi guys! Are you as excited as I am for the Sephora Sale?! I thought I’d start out with my favorite category of all… MAKEUP! Most people know that I love makeup, despite being known to roll around with a bare face pretty often (I just did a no-makeup October!). The Sephora sale is a great opportunity to stock up on regularly used items to have some product backups, or try that new item you’ve been coveting. For those that don’t know, the Sephora VIB Rouge sale just ended and the Sephora VIB sale will be starting on Friday, November 10th and is 20% off all merchandise! Like last year, I’m sharing my favorite items, friend favorites and some items I’d love to try. I’ll post a review of new items ordered in the Sephora sale, whether by my sister or myself, maybe as a video or in Real Girl…

Sephora Sale – Gift Ideas

No Comments

For those of you sick of my Sephora sale posts, rejoice, since this is the last one! My fellow makeup lovers can be sad with me haha. Today’s post is a gift guide of sorts (more of these coming as we fly along to the Christmas holiday) for those that may have a beauty lover to buy for! I love it when I can buy a Christmas or birthday present on sale! Since a bunch of these are limited edition items or very expensive, I haven’t tried most of them. But I wanted to share what I’d get a friend or family member. Some of these are holiday gift sets and some are luxury items that make my insides turn they’re so expensive, but are well rated online and cult favorites.
