Let me first start with a disclaimer: we’re living in unprecedented times, and I know many people are unable to shop the Sephora sale this time around. The last thing I want is to appear tone-deaf and like I’m telling you you need to shop the sale. That being said, I love reading favorites posts and recommendations, so I thought I would still share my current favorites you can find at Sephora. Sale dates, percentages, and codes can be found at the end of the post.
I used to be so into collecting new products and trying out every new launch I could, but this year I’ve really pared my routines down and use products much more consistently. It definitely made this list super easy to compile.
ILIA Super Serum Skin Tint SPF 40 - I’ve been using this almost daily since I got it and have a full review here. It’s beautifully lightweight and dewy, smooths over the skin seamlessly, and has great lasting power for such a glowy product.
Kosas Revealer Concealer - This is another daily favorite, and I reviewed it along with the ILIA skin tint linked above. This concealer is moisturizing so it doesn’t ever cake up, it has great coverage, and it looks incredibly skinlike. It works well on bare skin as well as with other base products, and on dark undereye circles as well as blemishes. It’s truly the most versatile concealer I’ve ever used and has dethroned the Milk Flex Concealer as my favorite.
ROEN BEAUTY 11:11 Eyeshadow Palette - I love the Roen eyeshadow formula, and this new pink-toned palette really caught my attention. The shadows are a hybrid cream-powder that I haven’t experienced from another brand, and they’re beautifully shimmery and glimmer-y. They’re a sophisticated shimmer, if that makes sense. These shadows do crease on me, but since they’re more aimed to be used in a slap-and-go kind of look, and they also blend back into place easily, I don’t mind it and still reach for them all the time.
Amika Flash Instant Shine Hair Mask - One of Amika’s newest launches really blew me away. My hair tends to look quite dull because it’s dry, but adding hydrating products usually just weighs it down and makes it greasy. This lightweight mask only takes one minute in the shower and is hydrating enough for me to use as my conditioner step. It really does add a ton of shine to my hair without weighing it down. It also makes my hair super soft, which isn’t something I experience often, having quite frizzy hair naturally. I’m tempted to use this every time I wash my hair!
Briogeo Strengthening Treatment Hair Oil - I’ve only been using this for a week, but I can already tell it’s a winner. As I said above, my hair tends to be a little dry and frizzy. Lately I’ve been letting it air-dry, because why bother styling it when I’m only going to work and going home, right? I run this lightweight oil through the midlengths and ends of my hair while it’s still damp, and I notice a huge difference in how my hair air-dries. It looks much smoother and healthier, and the oil doesn’t make my hair greasy or need a wash faster.
Korres Hydra-Biome Mask - I always use this after I’ve done a cardio class and my face is hot and flushed. It’s not only incredibly moisturizing, but it also feels so cooling and soothing. I rarely take the time to mask anymore, but I still consistently use this one at least twice a week.
Supergoop Glowscreen SPF 40 - I’ve made it a habit to wear sunscreen every single day over the past year or two, and I can definitely tell a difference in my skin. My latest daily favorite is this new launch from Supergoop. It has the most beautiful dewy finish that doesn’t get greasy on me as the day goes on, and it really makes the skin look blurred and perfected. When I wear this, I only pop concealer on my undereyes and blemishes and skip foundation.
Dior Lip Glow Oils - These are still my favorite lip products, and if you haven’t tried them yet, now’s the time. They’re just basically a thick, nourishing gloss that doesn’t feel sticky or goopy, and they subtly tint the lips like the original Lip Glows. I have most of the shades, and my most-worn ones are the Berry and Raspberry shades.
Fresh Sugar Hydrating Lip Balms - I’ve been straying away from potted balms lately for sanitary reasons, but these ones from Fresh are so nice that I make an exception and wear them all the time at home. They’re plush and nourishing without feeling too thick or sticky, and they last a while on the lips. Their new spring/summer scents are all lovely, and my favorite (from the new launches and the whole line as well) is the Blood Orange scent.
Milk Makeup Highighter - This is an oldie but a goodie! I know I’ve mentioned this countless times, but it’s probably my favorite highlighter ever. It looks so glossy and glowy on the skin, but never looks over the top or too wet. It’s just a great daily highlighter, and there’s so much product here that it’ll last you forever. (Actually, maybe consider the mini so you have the possibility of using it up before it expires). I’ve had mine for a year and with almost daily use, I’ve barely made a dent in it.
Like I said, these are all products I’ve been using consistently in my routines lately. I know if I looked through my stash I’d find many more favorites to mention, but these are just the ones I reach for a lot right now! I’ve convinced myself I don’t really need more beauty products right now, so my order this morning consisted of 2 Overose candles that are now at Sephora (even though I definitely don’t need more candles either)! What are your favorites from Sephora?
