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?

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…

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…

Hey guys! This is one of those situations where I really love something and I’m almost afraid to tell you because it is so good but also so expensive. And I’m the Broke Girl Blog, after all… is more mid to high end beauty products “on brand”? Probably not, but I love to be honest and transparent about what I’m loving, even if it’s an expensive face powder, because I feel like I owe that to the people who pop over here to read my blog. Of course I’m talking about the much hyped, widely loved, Hourglass Veil Translucent Setting powder. This powder is $55 Canadian for 10.5 grams. Ok, before I go too far into the price of this item and compare it to other options… let’s talk about why I love it so much! Reason #1 is that this is a translucent powder- I have quite light skin, and I…

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…

Hello Friends! Today’s post is a Real Girl Review on the Becca Hydra Mist Set and Refresh Powder! If you saw my Summer 2018 Favorites video or my Summer Lovin’ post, then you probably already know that I am a huge fan of this powder. I am a dry, dry skinned individual with a huge issue surrounding irritated, cracking, reaction-prone skin because of it. I’ve been a bit powder-adverse because of it honestly, but in the summer I often wish I had something that didn’t make my skin so angry that I could use to set with. Enter Becca’s Hydra Mist Set and Refresh Powder. My sister actually picked this item up but long-term loaned it to me to see what I thought about the product and how it performed on such sensitive skin. Normally if I powder, my skin is peeling by about 2pm on a work day. With…

Hellloooo! Today I’m back with my favorites from the month of March, only about halfway through April. I debated on finishing this video and post since while these are FAVORITES, I’m also at least 2 weeks late! Life has been pretty busy. But so many of these items are new to me, or never mentioned before on this blog that I felt like it was really still worth putting this post up to share my favorites. Skincare: Recently I’ve been using a combination of this Biotherm serum and a Biotherm night cream to combat my ridiculously dry skin. I love the combo because it’s starting to breathe some light back into my sad and angry skin which is so appreciated. My night cream is no longer available, but I’d love to try this one! Haircare: I’ve been loving the Big Sexy Hair Weather Proof spray! It’s meant to protect your…

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…

Hey Guys! Time for another Real Girl Review! This time I’ll be taking a look at the Tarte Tartelette In Bloom palette. My sister recently got me this palette as a gift as a thank you for helping her out when Sylvie was very newly home and wanted to do nothing more than howl and cry. All night long. Fun fact about me: I can sleep through pretty much anything. I can also fall asleep in some pretty ridiculous conditions. A howling dog? No biggie. My sister is a light sleeper, so when Sylvie first came home, so did I as her puppy au pair. Nobody can live on zero sleep! The fact that she had a sweet puppy to snuggle and love had a lot to do with it too. I’m obsessed with this dog, guys. So, back to the point of this: my sister got me the…

Hi Guys! I’m finally getting to posting my 2017 “Favorites”, or the best of 2017. This year, I have three main categories. They’re makeup, skincare and fashion- but I have some favorites in the haircare category as well as a few random things to share that I’ve loved all year.
