What I Bought During the Sephora VIB Sale

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at LMU chapter.

If you’re a beauty connoisseur like me, then you’ll know that Sephora just held a surprise Beauty Insider Appreciation Sale that ended on Labor Day. Since I’m a Rouge member, I earned 20% on all products for a limited period of time. Let’s just say that I took full advantage of this sale! Here are some of my top picks and products that I just had to pick up during this event.

Anastasia Beverly Hills Norvina Palette

 

Why I love it: This palette was one that I had to pick up this sale since it’s featuring my favorite color scheme: purple. The Norvina palette has a great mix of matte shadows from warm oranges and reds to cool purples and mauves, all of which are highly-pigmented and blend like a dream. The shimmers and metallics are buttery and full of pigment, and are a great way to amp up any matte look.

To purchase: Sephora.com for $42

 

Milk Makeup Kush High Volume Mascara

 

Why I love it: This mascara from Milk Makeup has easily become my favorite of all time! I have tried countless mascaras, and nothing makes my lashes as long, black, and voluminous as this mascara does. The Kush High Volume Mascara is infused with cannabis oil to condition and lengthen lashes, and gives a clump-free, voluminous finish.

Biossance Squalane + Vitamin C Rose Oil

 

Why I love it: Although I am an oily skin type, oils are a very important part of my nightly skincare routine. I’ve had my eye on this product for quite some time, and with such a high price tag, I decided to pick it up during the sale. This oil combines squalane oil, vitamin c and rose oil to help diminish fine lines and wrinkles through hydration. This product will smooth skin texture and even out skin tone. I see such a difference in my skin when I use this product regularly!

Lancome Fix It Forget It Setting Mist

Why I love it: This setting mist is formulated with anti-pollution technology to protect skin from from free radicals and pollution through kiwi extract, moringa seeds and witch hazel. Hyaluronic acid helps to hydrate skin, and keep makeup shine-free for up to 24 hours. This has been an essential in my makeup routine since moving back to LA for school!

Diorskin Forever Perfect Foundation

 

Why I love it: This has been my go-to foundation of the summer! This medium coverage foundation is formulated with SPF 35, and promises to stay on for 16 hours. It also claims to help diminish the appearance of pores, help control shine, and blur the skin, which I can attest to! Diorskin Forever Perfect Foundation is a matte finish, and in my opinion is more of a satin matte, or a skin-like finish.

Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask

 

Why I love it: This is my top pick from my entire haul! I struggle daily with dry, chapped lips. This sleeping mask has transformed my lips by keeping them hydrated throughout the night, as it’s formulated with hyaluronic acid. Vitamin C and antioxidants help to keep lips smooth and even. I can’t live without this product, and a little goes a long way!

Algenist Complete Eye Renewal Balm

Why I love it: This eye cream has quickly become an essential in my skincare routine. Algenist’s Complete Eye Renewal Balm  is formulated with alguronic acid to hydrate, vitamin c to brighten dark circles, and caffeine, cucumber, aloe, and green tea extracts to help reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and puffiness. It lays beautifully under makeup and has become my secret to smooth under-eyes!

Replica “Sailing Day” Eau De Toilette

 

Why I love it: This scent is perfect for a warm summer day. It’s light, refreshing, and reminds me of a crisp, clean ocean breeze. Sailing Day has notes of aquatic accord, coriander, and red seaweed essence, and falls under the fresh aquatic scent type. Though this is not usually the type of scent I go for, this eau de toilette fragrance has quickly become a favorite!

Glamglow THIRSTYMUD Hydrating Treatment

 

Why I love it: This mask has been my go-to for hydration for a long time, so I thought I would repurchase it! It is infused with hyaluronic acid which delivers the ultimate hydration to your skin. Though this mask is on the pricier side, a little goes a long way! Pro tip: use this mask as an overnight treatment for super soft, smooth, and hydrated skin in the morning.

Ouai Memory Mist

 

Why I love it: This styling product from Ouai is a great all-in-one for those gals like me who hate taking a long time styling their hair. The Memory Mist is not only a heat protector up to 450 degrees, but will keep your style in longer, and even add shine. I get tons of compliments on my hair when I use this product, and it has quickly become an essential of mine ever since purchasing it!
