My Sephora Beauty Favorites
The Sephora VIB sale is finally here! From now until 4/23 use code BISPRING to score 10% off (15% off for VIB and VIB Rouge!). To celebrate, I’ve rounded up my top 20 favorite beauty products from Sephora.
1 / Urban Decay Vice Lipstick in “Naked”, $17: I’m a total MAC lipstick snob. But when I tried out Urban Decay’s Vice lipstick collection I was so impressed! My current favorite is the shade “Naked”. The formula is super soft – and the color is super pigmented! This shade is a nude pink and it goes with everything!
2 / T3 Featherweight Luxe 2i, $250: This hairdryer is life changing y’all. Life changing. I’ve never used a hairdryer that left my hair so silky smooth afterwards. I’ve noticed a huge difference in my hair after using this hairdryer. My curls last longer, my hair looks healthier and my hair feels smoother. The VIB sale is the perfect time to treat yo self and splurge on this hairdryer!
3 / Hourglass Ambient Lighting Edit Surreal Light, $80: I feel like a broken record with this highlight, blush and contour palette. It’s just perfect, plain and simple. I love the subtle glow it gives off – without making you look like a disco ball. I’ve been using this palette 3-4 times a week for months and you can barely see a dent in the product! This product made my best of makeup 2016!
4 / First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Intensive Lip Balm, $20: This is my holy grail lip balm. I always have one in my purse and in my bed side table. Initially, the product gives your lips a cooling (and soothing) affect. It leaves your lips feeling hydrated and refreshed. It has my heart.
5 / Origins Warm Down Warming Lava Scrub to Detox and Smooth, $35: This is my all-time favorite body scrub. Upon skin contact, this formula gives off a warm “lava” feeling that I adore. Beyond scrubbing off dead skin cells and unwanted fake tan residue, this product leaves me feeling relaxed and rejuvenated.
6 / T3 Whirl Trio Interchangeable Styling Wand, $270: This curling wand is my ride or die! I’ve never used a curling wand that creates curls that last for so long! I use the 1″ straight barrel for my everyday beachy/ loose curls. If you’d rather not purchase the entire trio, you can pick up the T3 styling wand with the one and a fourth inch to a third inch barrel. You can also purchase the 1″ straight barrel as an add-on!
7 / Stila Magnificent Metals Glitter & Glow Liquid Eye Shadow, $24: This liquid eyeshadow has exploded all over YouTube and I finally picked up a shade! I instantly fell in love and adore how pigmented the formula is. I plan on picking up a few more shares during the VIB sale! My favorite shades are Kitten Karma, Smouldering Satin and Smoky Storm.
8 / IT Cosmetics Heavenly Skin Bye Bye Pores Powder Brush #701, $58: If you’re looking for a new powder brush – this brush is the best! The brush is super soft and features patent-pending Heavenly Skin hair created with antiaging collagen, silk, peptides, niacin and antioxidants. The hair doesn’t shed and it applies makeup perfectly!
9 / Dior Diorshow Iconic Overcurl Mascara, $29: This mascara is truly iconic and leaves your lashes volumized and lengthened. I’ve been through so many tubes of this mascara and intend of picking up some spares during the VIB sale!
10/ Anastasia Beverly Hills Brush #12, $18: This is my absolute favorite brush to get my eyebrows “on fleek”. The angled cut of this brush is perfect for filling in your brows (and even applying liner!). The spooley end does an amazing job of blending out your brows.
11/ IT Cosmetics Bye Bye Makeup 3-in-1 Makeup Melting Cleansing Balm, $38: Hands down my favorite method of removing makeup is with this melting cleansing balm. I love how the formula literally makes your makeup melt off right in front of your eyes! It is gentle on my sensitive skin and has an amazing citrus aroma.
12/ Make Up Forever Ink Liner, $24: I discovered this ink liner a few years ago and it still holds it’s place as my #1 favorite black eyeliner! I always have one in my purse. I love how it doesn’t smudge or come off throughout the day.
13/ Anastasia Beverly Hills DIPBROW, $18: Anastasia Beverly Hills knows how to score the perfect brows. Using my #12 brush, I apply this dip brow to create picture perfect brows. I love the wide assortment of shades – allowing you to match your brows perfectly. If you haven’t tried this duo you must during the Sephora VIB sale!
14/ Living Proof Perfect Hair Day Dry Shampoo, $22: I mentioned this product in my Best of Hair 2016 because it is THE BEST. It has a fresh (but not overpowering) fragrance and doesn’t leave your hair feeling tacky. This dry shampoo woks wonders on my hair to keep it fresh in the Florida heat.
15/ Tarte Tarteist PRO Glow Highlight & Contour Palette, $45: Ashley bought me this highlight and contour palette for my birthday last December and I’ve been obsessed ever since. I love using this palette for a defined highlight and contour. The shades are gorgeous and leave a subtle glow. Bonus: the product smells amazing!
16/ ALTERNA Haircare CAVIAR Anti-Aging Replenishing Moisture Conditioner, $34: Best conditioner I’ve ever tried. This product smells amazing and a little goes a long way. If I am in a pinch, this conditioner is great because I don’t need a leave-in conditioner with it! My hair is feeling silky smooth after I towel dry my hair. Seriously y’all, this dynamic shampoo and conditioner is a MUST TRY!
17/ ALTERNA Haircare CAVIAR Anti-Aging Replenishing Moisture Shampoo, $34: Best shampoo I’ve ever used. Period. I ADORE how thick this shampoo is (and how much it lathers!). A little bit goes a long way, so you don’t have to use a ton. It has a fresh and clean aroma that isn’t too overpowering. My hair feels clean after use, but not stripped of all oils. I love it. Absolutely worth the money.
18/ IT Cosmetics Bye Bye Pores Pressed Poreless Finish Airbrush Pressed Powder, $29: If you have oily skin or live in a humid climate (I’m looking at you Florida!) you need this pressed powder! I use this powder during spring/summer/fall (all brutally hot seasons in Florida) to ensure my foundation doesn’t melt off. I love how it applies completely translucent and leaves my skin feeling matte (but not dry!).
19/ Urban Decay Naked Basics, $29: This palette has a permanent spot in my purse. It is the perfect all-in-one nude matte palette for you entire face! You can use the eyeshadows to create a natural smokey eye – but also to highlight and contour your face! How freakin’ cool is that?! The first three shades can be used as highlighters and 4th & 5th shades as contours. The second last shade also doubles as the perfect brow powder! The black shade works wonders as an eyeliner. This palette must have been created by angels.
20/ Make Up Forever Ultra HD Invisible Cover Foundation, $43: If you haven’t tried this foundation – it’s a must! This full coverage foundation applies generously, doesn’t budge and is great for all skin types. It is one of my all time favorite foundations!
