We’ve all seen the frenzy with the Sephora sale all over social media, but if you’re wondering what to actually buy, you’ve come to the right place! Below, I’ve linked my favorite products from a number of brands, all sold at Sephora.

The sale dates vary depending on your Beauty Insider rank (I’m only an “Insider” so I’ll be waiting until the 5th to restock). If you don’t have an account, it’s not too late to sign up- anyone with an account is automatically an Insider.

Makeup

Face Makeup:

Foundation – It Cosmetics CC+ Cream

Although I opt for lighter weight coverage nowadays, this was my go-to foundation in college. The coverage is great and it doesn’t feel too heavy on my skin. I wear shade Light.

Foundation- SClean Clean Glowing Skin Foundation

This stuff is AMAZING (my current favorite) and so affordable. I range in shades depending on the season, but my go-to shade is 11.

Concealer- Makeup Forever Full Cover Concealer

Bronzer- MJ O!Mega Bronzer

This stuff is giant (it will take you a while to go through it all) and the shade is beautiful.

Contour- Fenty Match Stix

These blend out beautifully with makeup brushes or a beauty blender. I wear shade Truffle.

Highlighter- Cookie Highlighter by Benefit Cosmetics

This stuff just does the job- not much else to say! It’s beautiful and pearly without changing the color of your skin below it. Gorge-ina.

Eyes:

Eyebrows- SC Brow Volumizing Fiber Mascara

This stuff is amazing and so affordable. I wear “Midnight Brown” in the entire SC Brow collection (which makes it really easy to customize my brow routine depending on the state of fluffiness I’m dealing with).

Eyeliner- Kat Von D Tattoo Liner

I’ve tried an ungodly amount of liners and this one wins every. time. Such an easy application brush and stays on all night (but will come off without tugging.)

Mascara- Too Faced Better Than Sex

I’ve tried out different mascaras but this one always takes the cake!

Eyeshadow (everyday)- Natasha Denona Glam Eyeshadow Palette

Eyeshadow (fun) – Moschino x SC Laptop

If I could gift everyone this palette I WOULD. Not only is the laptop design so cute and playful, but the colors and pigments are incredible and it always has the color I’m looking for.

Lips

Balm- Laniege Sleeping Mask

It’s popular for a reason! This stuff makes your lips look like glass. A staple for anyone with dry/ cracky lips in the winter (hello, it me).

Lip Liner-SC Lip Liner To Go

I’ve put all of my friends onto this product because its SO affordable and easy to throw in any purse/ back pocket.

Lipstick- Pat McGrath

Skincare

Skincare Products

Face Wash- SC Clean Skin Gel

I quite literally cannot say enough about this product. It’s been my go-to ever since I learned about it from the product developers and I’ve probably gone through 9+ bottles since then.

Exfoliant- Daily Microfoliant Exfoliator

Serum- Black Seed Cold-Brew Serum

This is one of my favorite skincare products I’ve discovered this year: it’s gentle enough to use 2x a day without causing tingling/ redness but effective enough to make your skin glowy and soft.

Moisturizer- Belif The True Cream Aqua Bomb

Eye Cream- Ole Henriksen Banana Bright Eye Creme

SPF- Supergoop Unseen Sunscreen SPF 40

Face Mask- Tatcha Violet-C Radiance Mask

Face Mask (sheet)- SC Sheet Masks

Skincare Accessories

Microneedling- Beautybio GloPRO

Gua Sha- SC

If nothing else, this tool feels AMAZING (especially if you can get your friend or S/O to massage your face with it).

I hope you enjoy these recommendations- they’re all great if you’re looking to refill any empties or if you’re on the hunt for something new! Did I miss any of your favorites? Comment them down below!
