The Sephora Sale is my Super Bowl. I typically splurge on products that are on my wish list, but as a beauty blogger of 10 years, my collection is feeling quite complete, so this this year, I mostly restocked on my skincare essentials.
The Shani Darden Skin Care Signature Nourishing Facial Mask is my go-to treatment when my skin is breaking out or feeling irrirated. Although it is a clay mask, it also includes squalane, colloidal oatmeal, glycerin, and tea, so it never leaves my skin feeling dry. It calms redness and inflamation and leaves my skin feeling clean.
I have always avoided chemical exoliation because I was afraid of compromising my skin barrier, but the iNN Beauty Project Skin Prep Exfoliating Pads are sensitive skin friendly. They are gentle enough to use every day if desired but effective at minimizing texture and preventing congestion.
If you have dry but acne-prone skin, you know how difficult it can be to find a moisturizer that works for you. The iNN Beauty Project Extreme Cream Moisturizer is one of my all time favorite skincare products. It’s rich and hydrating, leaving behind a glass-like glow without clogging my pores. I cannot recommend it enough.
I use the Kosas DreamBeam SPF 40 in Sunlit almost every day. It feels like a moiturizer, has a subtle glowy bronze tint and wears beautifully under makeup. It’s also one of the few sunscreens that doesn’t irritate my eyes.
The Saie Glowy Super Gel is a versatile, acne-safe liquid illuminator that can be worn on bare skin, under or mixed in with foundation or over foundation on the cheekbones. It’s not shimmery but more of a soft, lit-from-within glow that feels like skincare. I bought the shade Warmglow, a warm champagne shade.
If you know me, you know how much I adore the Patrick Ta Major Headlines Double Take Creme & Powder Blush Duo. I already own five shades, but I wanted to try Just Enough, which is a stunning cool-toned light pink.
The m.ph Le Skin Weightless Serum Foundation is the only new product I purchased during the sale. I have heard nothing but amazing things about it and couldn’t resist. It’s described as having medium coverage with a lightweight, natural finish. I purchased Medium 150 N.
