Linking my Sephora Sale Picks from Spring here — in this post I’m going to focus on new (and new to me) products that weren’t previously mentioned in a sale post. Happy shopping!
SKINCARE
Dermalogica Daily Milkfoliant Exfoliator (2.6 oz for $64) I’m a huge fan of the Daily Microfoliant and have been using it for years, but when the Milkfoliant was released as a gentler alternative, I had to try it. Mind you, I have no reactions when using the Microfoliant. It includes ingredients like HA, coconut milk, and oats to sooth while also exfoliating. I think this is a great option for those who might be more sensitive to exfoliants, or for those who are new to exfoliation.
Eadem Dew Dream Hydrating Makeup Removing Cleansing Balm with Tiger Grass (3.4 oz for $30) The newest drop from Eadem is such a nice option for those who want an effective cleansing balm to remove all traces of makeup and SPF. I’ve heard that it’s lovely for those with sensitive skin because of it’s soothing ingredients. It has a thick, balm texture that spreads easily and melts makeup off. It leaves my skin looking and feeling bouncy and ready for the rest of my skincare routine.
Laneige Cream Skin Toner & Moisturizer (5 oz for $33) This is not a new product, and I’ve had it in my stash for the longest time and just finally started using it. I don’t know what took me so long but I will definitely be buying a backup. I love how it makes my skin look and feel post cleanse, and I tend to layer it in between steps for maximum hydration.
Paula’s Choice C5 Super Boost Moisturizer (1.7 oz for $45) I cannot recommend this moisturizer enough. It has a gel-cream texture, and you only need one pump for maximum hydration and brighter skin. It pairs beautifully with their C5 Eye Cream.
Shiseido Clear Sunscreen Stick SPF 50+ (0.7 oz for $29) This is the best on the go SPF option on the market in my opinion. It goes on completely clear, doesn’t alter your makeup (if you’re wearing any), and the stick is so convenient. It works with all skin types, and feels weightless on your skin.
MAKEUP
Danessa Myricks Yummy Skin Balm (0.63 oz for $36) This product is pure magic. I was worried about it at first because I have oily skin, but somehow it doesn't melt off after a few hours. Perfect for a no-makeup, makeup look—it adds coverage while blurring texture and imperfections.
Kosas Cloud Set Baked Setting & Smoothing Powder (0.33 oz for $35) Super late to the game with this one, but I’m glad I finally bit the bullet and tried this. It’s a lightweight powder that reduces shine but not glow, and pairs beautifully with the Kosas foundation + concealer.
Merit Minimalist Perfecting Complexion Foundation and Concealer Stick (0.23 oz for $38) Also super late to the game with this one, but I love a two in one product. I was worried about the shade range, but was able to find my perfect shade. I love tapping this on problem spots with my fingers for a natural, radiant finish.
Milk Makeup Pore Eclipse Mattifying + Blurring Primer (1.35 oz for $36) For all my friends with oily skin, this is the dream primer that you’ve been looking for. I used this legitimately all summer in my T-zone where I get immediately oily due to the heat, and my makeup never budged. This is honestly my new favorite primer. I don’t see myself reaching for it as much as the weather gets cooler, but if you’re oily, definitely look into this.
NARS Powermatte Long-Lasting Lipstick ($34) I’m a NARS lipstick girl for life. The new Powermatte lipsticks are long-wearing, pigmented AF, and come in the most gorgeous neutral and bright shades. I have the shade Killer Queen, which is a gorgeous burnt rosy/brown and I haven’t been able to put it down. I like to tap it in the center of my lips and then blur with my fingers for a lived in lip look.
Rose Inc. Satin & Shimmer Duet Powder & Cream Eyeshadow ($30) I love a single shadow or a duo over an entire palette, so I was excited when these dropped about a month ago. I ordered two shades, Satin Copper/Copper Shimmer, and Satin Plum/Lavender Shimmer (which I’m wearing in my most recent IG post). I feel like these combos are both very wearable/everyday shades. I like that the duo includes a cream and a powder, so you can wear one or both!
Summer Fridays Sheer Skin Tint (1 oz for $42) I didn’t expect to like this as much as I do, as the coverage is verrrryyyy sheer. I like using it in the morning to give my skin more life.
BODY CARE & MISCELLANEOUS
OleHenriksen BeamCream Smoothing Body Moisturizer with AHAs (6.4 oz for $38) I’m shockingly impressed with this body cream. It doesn’t leave me feeling greasy, and leaves my skin moisturized for hours on end. The scent is light and refreshing. I love the inclusion of AHAs for the gentle exfoliation factor.
Refy Body Glow Highlighting Serum (2.37 oz for $40) This is Refy’s Gloss Highlighter for your body. I am obsessed with the Gloss Highlighter, so buying this was a given. It makes your skin glisten with a very subtle shimmer, and it’s moisturizing as well. I love using this on special occasions, and get compliments every time.
Topicals Slather Exfoliating Serum with Retinol and AHAs (5 oz for $30) I have noticed a dramatic difference in the evening of the skin tone of my body after using this consistently throughout the summer. I wish the packaging was a little better; if it came in a pump it probably wouldn’t be as messy.
