Best Beauty Products
Skincare:

Skinfix Barrier+ Triple Lipid-Peptide Cream
I can’t live without this moisturizer! It’s one of my holy grail skincare products and I recommend it to anyone! It’s a luxuriously rich cream that deeply hydrates and nourishes the skin to help replenish your skin barrier overnight. It contains a triple lipid complex, a nutripeptide blend, hyaluronic acid, and shea butter to visibly plump, brighten and firm the skin. It comes in an airtight container with an easy-to-use pump to help you distribute just the right amount of product for your nighttime routine.
It’s not the most expensive moisturizer at Sephora but it’s definitely not cheap at $52 for 1.7oz of product. That being said, I’ve yet to find another moisturizer that hydrates my skin as much as this one and for that, I think it’s absolutely worth every penny! Skinfix also changed the packaging this year to make it refillable so after you get hooked on this amazing moisturizer, you can repurchase the refill for only $42.
It’s one of the best beauty products I’ve ever tried and I love stocking up on it during the Sephora sale!

Glow Recipe Papaya Sorbet Enzyme Cleansing Balm
Who doesn’t love a good cleansing balm? It’s an essential part of the double cleansing method and one of my favorite steps in my nighttime routine. Well, Glow Recipe makes one of the nicest cleansing balms on the market!
Appropriately named for its sorbet-like texture, this cleansing balm easily melts down to a lightweight oil to remove makeup, sunscreen, oils, and grime from the day. It also contains papaya enzymes to very gently exfoliate the skin but don’t worry, it’s definitely gentle enough for everyday use. I can instantly feel the difference in the texture and smoothness of my skin after I use this.
Lastly, this cleansing balm smells amazing! While I do tend to avoid products with fragrance to stay on the safe side with my sensitive skin, I don’t usually mind it in a wash-off treatment like this. I also find the scent to be way more appealing because it actually smells like the delicious fruit extracts in the product as opposed to a heavy perfume. But be mindful, if you strongly dislike tropical fruit scents then this product might not be for you.
It retails for $32 and contains 3.4oz of products so it’s not the most expensive cleansing balm out there but definitely not the cheapest. It will last you a while though so the Sephora sale is a great time to get your hands on it.

Necessaire The Body Lotion & The Body Serum
Body care is an important but often neglected part of a good skincare routine. Necessaire is known for having clean, effective, and pH-optimized body care products. They are one of the most popular body care brands at Sephora and you can’t go wrong with their body lotion and body serum.
The Body Lotion is a multivitamin moisturizing product that nourishes and strengthens the skin. It contains niacinamide, peptides, and plant oils. It’s also fragrance-free, which I personally love as someone with sensitive skin. Even though it’s a thicker cream, it absorbs into the skin really easily so you don’t have to worry about wasting time continuously rubbing it all over your skin to get it to absorb.
The Body Serum is a really nice hydrating serum to help replenish & plumb the skin. I wish more brands made serums for the body! We have so many options for the face but most face serums are around 1 ounce and definitely don’t go a long way when used on the body. This body serum has 5.1 ounces of product and contains hyaluronic acid, niacinamide, and ceramides to strengthen the skin barrier and deliver deep hydration.
Either product is a great choice for your body care routine but you can’t go wrong using a combo of both!

PMD Clean Pro Cleansing Brush
Is a cleansing brush essential in your skincare routine? No. But can it be a really fun and enjoyable tool to add to your routine? Yes!
I stand strongly in saying that no one really needs a cleansing brush like this, especially given the price point, but it is a great tool if you’re looking for something to elevate your self-care routine. I feel like I’m getting a mini face massage whenever I use this!
The original PMD Clean Smart Cleansing Device costs $99 and the PMD Clean Pro costs $149 so it’s definitely smart to purchase it during a sale if you are interested. The PMD Clean Pro’s SonicGlow Technology delivers 7,000 vibrations per minute to help clean your skin from dirt and oil while helping to tone and firm the skin. It has multiple vibration modes depending on the cleansing setting you want to use but all modes are very gentle on the skin so you don’t have to worry much about overdoing it when using this brush with your everyday cleanser.
While not a necessity, this is definitely a fun product to splurge on and it also makes a great holiday gift!

~ I do want to note that PMD often has sales on their website, particularly during Black Friday and around the holidays. If you are interested in purchasing one of their cleansing brushes, it might be worth it to hold out until one of their sales where you might be able to get 30% or more off. Just something to consider as this is a pricier item and might not be worth it if you aren’t a Rouge member and would get less than 20% off during the Sephora sale.

NARS Light Reflecting Advanced Skincare Foundation
NARS has a lot of bestselling foundations but this one quickly moved to the top of Sephora’s best-selling foundations list when it launched this year.
The Light Reflecting Advanced Skincare Foundation has medium coverage and a beautiful natural finish, making it a great choice for all skin types. Plus, it’s a makeup/skincare hybrid formulation containing 70% skincare ingredients. Biomimetic oat to help reduce the appearance of redness, Japanese lilyturf to strengthen the skin barrier, cocoa peptides & milk thistle to minimize the effects of environmental stressors.
It retails for $49 and has 1 ounce of product with 36 shades to choose from. It’s a great foundation to try during the sale and would be a great addition to anyone’s makeup collection.

Hourglass Ambient Lighting Palette
Hourglass’s Ambient Lighting Palette is one of their best-selling products and for good reason! The palette is made up of shades of their Ambient Lighting Powder, which is a beautiful light-reflecting finishing power. If you want to finish off your makeup look with a glow from within, this is definitely the palette for you!
Hourglass has put out three volumes of this palette with different shades to choose from depending on your skin tone. I think this is a really universal palette because it can be used as a soft highlighter, soft blush or bronzer, or an accent highlight to your blush or bronzer. I’ve also used it as an eyeshadow on my lids to give a nice soft sheen.
The Ambient Lighting Palette retails for $68 so it’s definitely up there in price for a face palette which is why I recommend getting it during the sale – you won’t regret having this versatile palette in your collection!

Makeup by Mario Master Mattes Eyeshadow Palette
Everyone needs a great universal eyeshadow palette and having an all-matte palette is a great way to cover all your bases. I love this palette from Makeup by Mario!
Soft everyday neutral makeup or late-night glam, this palette is perfect for all occasions. The eyeshadows are really easily buildable without significant fallout. At $48, it is a pretty pricey palette but it will definitely become a staple in your collection!
-
Beautyblender Original Beautyblender Makeup Sponge
The Beautyblender is the OG makeup sponge that really started them all!
While there are a lot more makeup sponges out on the market now, and several that can be purchased at a much lower price, I still think the Beautyblender is in a league of its own. At $20, it’s not exactly cheap for a sponge, especially considering you need to replace it every 3 to 6 months. However, it’s still an amazing sponge to have in your collection and the Sephora sale is a perfect time to pick one up.

Living Proof Perfect Hair Day Advanced Clean Dry Shampoo
Let me start off by saying that I hate dry shampoo! While I know it’s a necessity to prolong your hair in between washes, I’ve still always hated the way dry shampoos felt in my hair. That is until I tried this one!
You have to try this try shampoo! It is a game changer and you won’t be able to go back! It leaves your hair feeling almost like it was freshly washed by effectively absorbing oils & sweat while also lightly conditioning the hair to maintain softness & shine.
Most dry shampoos leave a residue and often make your hair feel dry or brittle. But not this one! I was blown away the first time I used it because it is truly able to easily eliminate oily hair without leaving a heavy, textured residue. For these reasons, I think it’s absolutely worth the $33 price point but it doesn’t hurt to get it at a discount. I will definitely be stocking up during the Sephora sale!

K18 Leave-In Molecular Repair Hair Mask
K18 joined the bond repair hair care market with this super innovative leave-in mask. K18 uses patented molecular technology to reverse hair damage by repairing the keratin chain in the innermost layer of the hair. It works to mend the damage caused by heat, color, bleach, and chemical services to restore softness, strength, and shine.
I’ve really enjoyed this mask and have definitely seen a difference in the softness and shine of my hair. It is quite an expensive mask though! At $75 for only 1.7oz of product, it’s certainly a big purchase decision so the Sephora sale would be a perfect time to add this to your hair care collection.

K18 Peptide Prep pH Maintenance Shampoo & Detox Shampoo
K18 just recently launched these two Peptide Prep shampoos! With the success of their leave-in mask, I was really excited to try these shampoos and they did not disappoint! These shampoos use their patented molecular technology to repair damage but they also include their K18PEPTIDE that helps protect the hair while still giving it a proper cleanse.
Both shampoos are pH optimized to help keep your scalp and hair healthy without stripping it. The pH Maintenance Shampoo is gentle enough for everyday use if you’re a regular hair washer and the Detox Shampoo is great for clarifying the hair from product buildup if you’re someone who likes to go longer between washes. I think both of these shampoos are great additions to your hair care collection and I was pleasantly surprised by how soft my hair felt after using each of them.
You get 8.5oz of product with each shampoo and the pH Maintenance Shampoo retails for $36 while the Detox Shampoo retails for $38. I do think these shampoos will last you a while as a little bit of product does lather nicely and go a long way. I recommend giving one of them a try during the sale!
