Sephora Sale Recs - Spring 2023

Apr 6

Sephora’s Spring Savings Event is here, but I am attempting to be way more mindful this year, because I truly don’t need anything more. Do I want things? But, of course. But this post is a guide for those who are looking to shop the sale and don’t know whether or not to buy a product that I’ve been able to try. Hopefully it helps!

As always, I’m linking my Sephora Sale Picks from the Fall/Winter Sale 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

Cay Skin Isle Lip Balm SPF 30 with Sea Moss and Aloe Stem Cells (0.35 oz for $14, available in 3 shades) I picked this clear lip balm up before a recent staycation at the beach. I knew that I had been neglecting protecting my lips from the sun, and I had heard good things about Cay Skin. This lip balm is the perfect mix of balm and gloss, and is not sticky at all. Plus it comes in two other tinted shades that I’m excited to try. Link to my try on reel here.

Fenty Skin Plush Puddin Intensive Recovery Lip Mask (0.5 oz for $22) This lip mask is comfortable and truly lasts the entire night when I apply it before bed. I love the component too, you twist the bottom to control how much product comes out. Link to my try on reel here.

Summer Fridays Lip Butter Balm in Cherry (0.5 oz for $24) Summer Fridays really went off with their Lip Butter Balm formula, so whenever a new shade comes out it’s an immediate purchase for me. Cherry is more pigmented than you’d imagine, but in a great way—although it does fade rather quickly. But, as always, the balm is comfortable with a glossy finish. Link to my try on reel here.

Supergoop! Glowscreen in Sunset (1.7oz for $38, available in 4 shades) I’ve been using Glowscreen from it’s inception, but Supergoop finally came out with a shade for deeper skin tones. Sunset is the perfect glowy primer for me, as it wears beautifully under makeup and leaves me with a natural glow.

MAKEUP

Danessa Myricks Yummy Skin Blurring Balm Powder Flushed in Golden Hour (0.21 oz for $25, available in 6 shades) Danessa is one of my absolute favorite MUAs and with that said she really can do no wrong in my eyes 😅. Blush is having a moment right now as we all know, and Danessa upped the game by giving us the most beautiful, pigmented, spring & summery shades of blush that are long wearing, and dry down from a cream to a soft matte while you blend it. The shade golden hour is a bright orange that looks stunning on those with deeper skin tones. You can check out my try-on of this shade here.

Dior Addict Lip Maximizer Plumping Gloss (0.2 oz for $40, available in 20 shades) I know what you’re thinking. $40 for a lip gloss? To be fair, it’s Dior, so the price tag is automatically going to be hefty. However, I think that they do lip products extremely well. I have the Lip Maximizer Plumping Gloss in the shade Mahogany, which is a soft brown that looks gorgeous with a brown lip liner. The formula is made with cherry oil (like their iconic lip oils) and hyaluronic acid for plump looking lips. If you’re interested in splurging on a new lip product, I highly recommend this one.

Kulfi Mehndi Moment Long-Lasting Radiant Cream Blush in Lucky Lotus (0.3 oz for $28, available in 5 shades) Kulfi put out another blush formula that I’ve been obsessed with, and this one is purple 🤩. You only need a little bit of the formula for major pigment, and it can be built up as much as your heart desires. It’s another long-lasting, soft-focus formula that comes in 5 shades. My try-on reel is linked here.

Rare Beauty Positive Light Silky Touch Highlighter in Flaunt (0.098g for $25, available in 4 shades) I feel like this highlighter took the world by storm because it was the first powder highlighter in a while that we had seen on the market. Selena did her thing with these too, because they are SO luminous. Like you will be seen from space luminous. You’ll only need the tiniest amount for a glass-skin like shine, and it lasts all day. I also love using it as an eyeshadow. I have the shades Exhilarate (a champagne gold) and Flaunt (a true gold) in my collection. Linking my try on reel here.

Sephora Collection Colorful Lip Gloss Balm (0.3 oz for $10, available in so many shades) These remind me of classic lip glosses that we wore back in the day, but these are not sticky at all, and are crazy comfortable on the lips. They come in a million gorgeous shades, and contain mango and grapeseed oil to keep lips nourished. I will say you have to reapply quicker than I’d like, but for $10 ($7 with the sale), you can’t go wrong. I have the shades Espresso Yourself and Cherry Cola in each of my bags at this point. I plan on picking up a couple of clear shades, because duh.

BODY CARE & MISCELLANEOUS

Cay Skin Isle Body Oil SPF 30 with Sea Moss and Squalane (3.7 oz for $32) As summer quickly approaches, I love a body oil moment for the beach or for vacation to look like a glowing, sun protected goddess all day long. This body oil contains squalene and sea moss to hydrate, moisturize, and leave a natural sheen to the skin.

Phlur Tangerine Boy Eau de Parfum (1.7 oz for $96) I am a citrus girl though and through, and if you are too, Tangerine Boy is for you. It contains key notes of citrus, ginger, amber, and pepper for a zesty unisex fragrance. I thought Not Your Baby was going to be my staple Phlur scent, but Tangerine Boy has quickly surpassed it. You can grab a travel pen for $26 if you don’t want to take the plunge on the full size.
