SEPHORA SALE 2023 RECS + WISHLIST

This list is a combination of wishlist items, repurchases, and recommendations. The Sephora sale runs 10/27/2023 through 11/6/2023. Code is TIMETOSAVE

SKIN

  1. Kiehl’s Soft Cream / Just- dermaplaned feeling. The price is PSYCHOTIC but I swear I’ve never had my skin look like this. Botox shine vibes iykyk
  1. Squalene / I will forever repurchase this! I use this every night mixed in with moisturizer for ultimate hydration. I also love this Vitamin C from The Ordinary as well.
  1. Glow Recipe Drops / I love using this before doing makeup, and it has become one of my favorite parts of my priming routine. 
  1. Caudalie Resveratol Lift / My skin feels well taken care of when I use this, not sure how else to describe it. 
  1. Kora Eye Oil / If I had to pick one eye cream product to use, it would be this one. 
  1. Donna Karan deodorant / I know it’s so overkill, but I have a “special occasion” deodorant, and this is it. Along with ACTUALLY working, it smells SO good all day. I was going to add the Sol De Janeiro deodorant, but it can’t hold a candle to this one.
     
  2. Bakuchiol / I’ve heard this is great for oily skin as a retinol alternative, and it’s a great price. 
  1. Libre Set / Finally going to treat myself to this perfume.  The best way I can describe Libre is that it personifies confidence.

HAIR

  1. Amika Dream Routine / “Lotion for your hair” might sound a bit off putting, but this one magically sinks in so perfectly without weighing down my hair. I have really dry hair, and this nicely hydrates. 
  1. Oribe Mask – Bad news, this hair mask is worth the money. I left it in my hair for an hour (on wet hair) and it hasn’t felt this soft in years. 
  1. Moroccan Hair Oil / I oil my hair at least every other day so I go through it quickly.  Lately I’ve liked this even more than the Oribe oil, which I thought was my holy grail.
  1. Ouai Scalp Serum / I’ve gone through a couple bottles of it, and really like how it feels on my scalp. I like that I can apply it on non- wash days and it doesn’t make my hair greasy, just soothes my scalp.

MAKEUP

  1. All Nighter Waterproof Setting Powder / Happy to report that it actually keeps my makeup on! That’s all I’m asking for. For loose powder, One Size is my favorite.
  1. Refy Taupe Liner / Allegedly this lasts on the lips, which isn’t something I can say about many liners. I’m super intrigued by this, and I think it could be worth it just for the “setting” side of the product. 
  1. Kosas Setting Powder / Sets the face but doesn’t make you look Cakey. I like Mac Studio Fix powder more because I’m oily and I need more industrial strength, but the finish of this is gorg
  1. Hourglass Ambient Palette – I bought the Leopard one and am already obsessed. Everything from Hourglass is amazing, it’s a fact. 
  1. Charlotte Tilbury Iconic Nude / If you only want one lipliner, this is the one. It matches every nude lip shade perfectly while giving the perfect contour. 
  1. Setting Spray / My two favorite are Urban Decay All Nighter Spray, and On “Til Dawn by One Size 
  1. Glowish Blur Jam Primer / I have textured pores that you can see into, and this makes them look teeny. Love it. 
  1. Kosas Brow / My brows are so annoying to shape, and this one makes it bearable. That says a lot, lol. 
  1. Urban Decay 2/47 Alkaline / There’s about six shades I’d like to buy of this eyeliner. Smudge-proof, pigmented, yet perfectly smudge-proof. The one in my cart is Alkaline, a gorgeous Burgundy shade. 
  1. Eye Glitters
    1. Moondust Palette / If I didn’t have a million glitter eyeshadows, I’d get this one. You need it! 
  1. Urban Decay Space Cowboy / No fuss, basically the perfect shimmer shade to put over ANY eyeshadow look. 
  1. KVD Dazzle stick / Electrobolt is the most intense shadow glitter I own, with a creamy finish that sets nicely. Absolutely LOVE it.
  1. Ethereal Eyes Palette / Tried to tell myself I didn’t need this palette when it first dropped, I was wrong. My brain wants to compare this palette to the Natasha Denona I Need a Nude palette, but I like the Mario palette color story more. 
  1. MUFE pencil set / The MUFE lip pencils are such a great formula, this is a nice little shade selection.. 
  1. Too Faced Better Than Sex Mascara / I’m so sick of mascara transferring under my eyes that I’m ready to finally try this. 
  1. Dior highlight powder / Every makeup artist raves about this for a reason right? It’s a wishlist item for me, so I can’t give it a proper review. Just passing on what I’ve heard though. I could see myself using this as eyeshadow and highlight. 

Many of these would be awesome gift ideas if you’re ready to start Christmas shopping!

Thank you for reading! 🙂
