Skincare
Belif Aqua Bomb Cleansing Balm (3.3 oz for $34) I just recently emptied this, and I absolutely loved it. This is a top-tier cleansing balm because it removes waterproof makeup like a dream. Plus it’s unscented and causes no irritation.
Glow Recipe Papaya Sorbet Enzyme Cleansing Balm (3.4 oz for $32) Another cleansing balm that I love (and I’m currently working through). It is formulated with papaya enzymes, so it combines cleansing with gentle exfoliation for a great first cleanse. The price is comparable to the Belif Cleansing Balm, and I love them both!
Fenty Skin Hydra Vizor Invisible Moisturizer SPF 30 (1.7 oz for $35) This has definitely made it on my sunscreen hit list. I love that I can use it as a moisturizer and a sunscreen combined. It does have a slight fragrance, but it hasn’t caused me any irritation. Plus the glow it leaves? Immaculate. You can also buy the component refill once you finish for $30, which I’ve done twice! We love that Rih is a sustainable queen.
The Inkey List Hyaluronic Acid Serum (1 oz for $7.99) This is by far my most repurchased product ever. Mostly because the bottle is so small, but also because the serum is so damn nice. It’s a no frills, single ingredient serum, and I love the immediate effects of it. I will definitely be buying a few of these in the sale.
The Inkey List Oat Cleansing Balm (5 oz for $9.99) Another one of my favorite first cleanses! You get a decent amount of product for $10, and the texture is divine. You can also use it as a soothing mask if you need. We love a multi-purpose product. A must have for a first cleanse.
Paula’s Choice 2% BHA Liquid Exfoliant (4 oz for $29.50) PC’s timing is impeccable, because now you can shop all of these incredibly effective products in the Sephora sale! This exfoliant is a cult-favorite for a reason, it’s ultra-effective and ultra-gentle. If you’re new to exfoliation, I would definitely give this one a try.
Paula’s Choice 10% Azelaic Acid Booster (1 oz for $36) This is a favorite of Sean Garrette’s and I would trust him with my first born child 😂. I’m honestly pissed at myself that it took this long for me to incorporate azelaic acid in my routine. It has been a game changer with texture and hyperpigmentation. Another PC product that has been an amazing addition to my skincare regimen.
Paula’s Choice Youth Extending Daily Hydrating Fluid (2 oz for $33) This is another PC cult-fave, and although it’s new to me, I understand the hype. It has a lightweight, but liquid-y texture, but dries down invisible on all skin tones, which we love.
Summer Fridays Cloud Dew Moisturizer (1.7 for $42) I absolutely love this moisturizer. The ingredient list is amazing, the texture is lightweight and airy, perfect for this Florida weather, and it wears perfectly underneath makeup. It’s definitely on the more expensive side for a moisturizer, so if you’ve been eyeing it, the sale is definitely a great time to grab it!
Summer Fridays Lip Butter Balm (0.5 oz for $22) SF really did it with this lip balm. I didn’t want to admit it, because $22 is steep, but it truly is nice. It has a slight vanilla fragrance, and it leaves my lips moisturized for hours after application. It also gives off a slight glossy vibe, which I am into.
Supergoop! Unseen Sunscreen (1.7 oz for $34) The best sunscreen in the game. The sunscreen that made me fall in love with sunscreen. It’s the perfect makeup primer, and gives you a slight invisible blurring effect upon application. I’ll be wearing this forever.
Topicals Faded Serum (1.7 oz for $36) Right now this product is out of stock, and rightfully so, because it’s incredibly effective. I’ve been using it for discoloration for multiple parts of my body, and it is the truth. It’s a gel serum (PSA: it’s stinky) with all the ingredients you need to fight hyperpigmentation. Hopefully they’ll restock before the sale! And if not, you can still purchase it on their website.
Topicals Like Butter Hydrating Mask (1.7 oz for $32) The other side of the Topicals duo, I’ve been using this mask at night if I have a little bit of texture or sensitivity from over-exfoliation and it’s so nice. It can also be used as a wash-off mask, and Topicals just posted on IG that you can use it for dry lips too! Well worth the $32.
Makeup
Danessa Myricks Dew Wet Hydrating and Highlight Balm (0.53 oz for $22) I am absolutely obsessed with all things Danessa Myricks—if you’re not following the pro MUA on Insta for makeup inspiration, you’re missing out. This balm will be the absolute best for the wet/dewy look that I love to rock during the summer. Not to mention, this is super affordable on its own (PLUS it’s on sale?!) for how amazing the product is.
Danessa Myricks Colorfix Eye, Cheek & Lip Cream Pigment (0.34 oz for $18) Another Danessa Myricks must have for my makeup junkies. There are so many shades to play with, and they all wear so beautifully. You can mix them together to create your own shades & looks, and I love that they’re multi-use. The newest color in my collection is Celebration, which I love to use as a single-shadow for a monochromatic brown/gold look.
Pat McGraph Skin Fetish Sublime Perfection Foundation (1.18 oz for $68) Honestly, if you’ve been thinking about getting this foundation, now’s the time to do it. It gives the perfect natural skin finish with a radiant glow, and I am so happy that I spent the coin on it.
Rare Beauty Lip Souffle Matte Cream Lipstick (0.13 oz for $20) I’m still a matte lipstick girl at heart, even though I barely wear them anymore. But these are a nice happy medium between matte and cream. They’re long wearing, the shades are incredibly pigmented, and it feels so comfortable on the lips. I have three shades and would definitely consider getting more.
Bodycare/Miscellaneous
Nécessaire Body Lotion (6.8 oz for $25) I’ve emptied 3 of these and will continue to buy and empty them. The fragrance-free lotion is lightweight but moisturizing, takes less than a minute to sink in, and makes my skin feel like butter.
Nécessaire Body Wash in Sandalwood (8.4 oz for $25) I love this body wash, the packaging, the scent, the price point. It’s a beautiful luxe addition to your shower routine.
Nécessaire The Hand Cream (2.2 oz for $20) Such a luxurious hand cream that leaves no residue, no stickiness, and has peptides for your hand health. Love love love.
