If you’ve been on any form of social media in the past few weeks, there’s no doubt in my mind that you’ve heard of the Sephora spring sale going on. Though, what is it and why is everybody so obsessed with getting items during it? For starters, Sephora RARELY has sales. Sure, they have individual items in their sale section all the time and on Black Friday they have fairly good deals on makeup sets and gift items. But this is the only time of year when Beauty Insider members at Sephora can get discounts on their entire purchase. The discounts go as follows: Beauty Insider (10% off), VIB (15% off), and Rouge (20%). PLUS free shipping! AND all Sephora Collection items are 30% off.
I may or may not have spent a pretty penny this year on some new items this year at the sale… I am a VIB member though so it’s worth it – right?! Anyway, here’s all that I picked up!
Retinol & Rainbow Algae Repair Serum – Selfless by Hyram
I’m obsessed with Hyram’s skincare Tik Toks and Youtube videos, so I wanted to try something out from his own skincare brand. Plus, I’d been wanting to try products with retinol to see if it would help with some dark spots and acne scars on my face.
Vanilla Beige Lip Butter Balm – Summer Fridays
I have lip balm on me at all times – in every one of my bags, by my desk, in my bathroom, you name it. This is why having a GOOD lip balm is super important for me – and one that lasts more than just an hour. I have the original flavor/scent of this lip balm, and while it is pricy … it is also the best lip balm I’ve ever had, so I decided to pick it up in this new shade. Also- Summer Fridays’ founder, Marianna Hewitt is so cool and I love her podcast.
Pillow Talk Medium (warm berry pink) Lip Cheat Lip Liner – Charlotte Tilbury
This lip liner is a fan favorite of pretty much every beauty influencer I follow! The shade also looks just perfect for my skin tone, and most of the reviews I read said that this lip liner stays on a lot longer than any other lip liner they’ve tried. I’m so excited to try this out!
Revealer Super Creamy + Brightening Concealer and Daytime Eye Cream – Kosas
I’ve also been seeing this concealer blow up on Tik Tok, and it looks like a more natural version of the Nars radiant and creamy concealer (which I LOVE), so hopefully, it lives up to my expectations. I’m not too sure if I got the right shade though haha, but Sephora is super generous about returns so it should be fine.
Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5 Hydrating Serum – The Ordinary
I needed a refill of this! I use it every night after cleansing, and my skin has felt so much more supple and less consistently dry.
Caffeine Eye Cream – The INKEY List
To be honest, I saw one girl hype this up on Tik Tok and had to snag it haha. She said it has noticeably reduced her under-eye bags and I DESPERATELY need that so I’m excited to give this a go.
Clean Vegan Hydrating Satin Lipstick (Primrose) – Sephora Collection
I don’t have a go-to lip product that just goes with everything, but this shade looked AMAZING – not too nude and not too pink. It’s so helpful to see the model photos they post with the product because they all have different skin tones. It helps me to see how I can generally expect it to look on myself, so I love that. Also, all Sephora Collection products are 30% off!
Mini Watermelon + AHA Glow Sleeping Mask – Glow Recipe
I’ve never tried anything from Glow Recipe, but I must say that they’re packaging is ELITE. Everything just looks so beautiful oh my gosh. I’m curious to see if this sleeping mask will actually help hydrate my skin, or just hydrate it until I wash it off in the morning.
GrandeLASH-MD Lash Enhancing Serum Mini – Grande Cosmetics
I feel like this eyelash serum was popular years ago, but I’ve seen it making a comeback on social media recently. I naturally have super short and straight lashes, but some of the before and after photos I looked at using this product were INSANE. I just got a mini to try out though because some reviews say it can be irritating around the eyes and cause darkness.
Mini Clearly Clean Makeup Removing Cleansing Balm – Farmacy
Usually, I use micellar water and cotton pads to remove my makeup. Though, one time I tried out the Clinique cleansing balm, and even though it was really messy, it felt the best for my skin because it wasn’t as drying and stripping. I wanted to try this one out from Farmacy because it’s a clean product, and so I’m hoping it’s good for my sensitive skin.
Soft Pinch Liquid Blush (Grateful) – Rare Beauty
I truly think everyone who has heard of Rare Beauty has heard about how amazing these liquid blushes are. I’m always stealing my sister’s soft pinch liquid blush in the shade “Joy,” so I decided to get my own. I also don’t own a red blush, and I feel like it’ll look really good with a full face of makeup.
Mini Radiant Creamy Concealer (Ginger) – NARS
I know I was just talking about how I got the KOSAS concealer… hear me out. I have these NARS concealers in the shades “caramel” and “biscuit,” but I wanted an even lighter one for a super bright undereye. I’m not sure if I’ll love the KOSAS concealer, but I know I’ll use this!
Light Aura Vitamin C + Peptide Eye Cream – Summer Fridays
This is a fairly new product from Summer Fridays, but I truly have no doubt in my mind about whether or not I’ll like it. I swear everything from their brand is so good! Very pricey though.
Mini Skin Perfecting 2% BHA Liquid Exfoliant – Paula’s Choice
I kept stealing this from my sister because it’s so nice. Not too harsh on the skin, but exfoliates it enough to where it leaves your skin feeling so so smooth!
Mini KP Bump Eraser Body Scrub with 10% AHA – First Aid Beauty
This is the last thing that I got, but I don’t even have KP, the skin condition LOL. I needed a body scrub to use in the shower, and honestly, I think it will work well for me because I have very sensitive skin and First Aid Beauty caters to that.
That’s everything I got from the Sephora Sale this spring, and it was a LOT haha. So excited to try everything though! Definitely not an ad, but the Beauty Insiders program at Sephora is so worth it to me – especially since it’s free to sign up. Go get some new products and treat yourself! :)
