Spring Sephora Sale

So I wasn't going to do a Sephora sale post, but then I reconsidered as I have several items that I am adding to my list. Some are re-purchases and some are new and some are just wish list items. But I have added a bunch of items to my cart right now (in the app) in hopes they won't be sold out by tomorrow. If you are a VIB member like me, your sale access starts tomorrow.

Will you be shopping the Sephora sale? I know I am. With my announcement (if you want to call it that) on Friday, I am going back into the office and wearing make-up is going to become a daily thing again. But I am buying a few items to help speed up the process.

Anyways, onto my shopping cart items and wish list items.

Sephora Spring Sale

Glow Recipe Watermelon Body Cream  I saw this on Biana's blog on Friday and immediately added it to my cart. It has clean ingredients, apparently smells heavenly and gives you the moisture you need when you live in the desert.

Iconic London Illuminator  I tried to buy this a few months ago and it was sold out in my color (Original). I have been wanting to try this for awhile and hopefully I can snag one this time. It gives you a glow and brightens your face.

Living Proof Dry Shampoo  We all know that this is my favorite dry shampoo. Once Target's price went up, I have been using my stash. Well I am down to one bottle, so I am grabbing the 7.3 oz one from the sale.

Supergoop Unseen Sunscreen  I heard this was a great sunscreen and it goes on without an oily feeling, so we are going to try it.

Tarte Lights, Camera Lashes  This is another repurchase. This is my favorite mascara and I have a mini that I received from Tarte that I am currently using. So this is something I definitely need.

Dyson Air Wrap Styler Set  Let's be honest, this is on my wish list. $549 is a lot to spend on hair tools BUT I really do want it. It will cut down the time to dry my extensions and curl it at the same time, so basically time is money and I would save in the long run. Trying to convince myself to buy it, but it is just so dang expensive.

Nars Creamy Concealer  I have been using Tarte's Shape Tape for years. Well during the Summer months, it leaves creases under my eyes. Even if I use setting powder in between. A fellow IGer recommended this concealer to me and now I am going to try it.

Charlotte Tilbury Flawless Filter  This is something that I am buying to make my morning make-up routine easier. I was told by a local blogger that this is amazing for our Summers. It goes on smoothly, easy and quick to apply and gives you a flawless glow. I am buying it in the Light/Medium for my Summer skin. I have been using Dior's Forever Matte Foundation for years and I love it. But it is more of a full coverage face. And recently I alternate my Dior with Tarte's Foundcealer. I got the Foundcealer in one of those 6 full size products for $60 (around that). While I do like the Foundcealer, I have always wanted to try this Flawless Filter.

Sephora Holiday Sale

The Sephora sale started yesterday for me as I am a VIB member. I get 15% off. For the Rouge members (20% off) it started on October 30th. And if you are an Insider (10%), it starts November 5th (Thursday). I have been waiting to buy some makeup and hair care products for a few weeks now in anticipation of this sale. Hey, even 15% off is a good deal for me. This is what I purchased.

It is no secret that I use Kerastase for all my hair care needs. Since this is what my stylist recommends, it is what I use. I have tried so many different products from the line and I have loved them all. They are pricier, but if you get them during sales like this, they are so worth it. I have been using the Kerastase Blond Absolu Hydrating Illuminating Shampoo and the Kerastase Blond Strengthening Conditioner for well over a year now. Maybe even two. I used to use the mask as well, but with my extensions, I haven't been using it. Mostly because I don't want to turn those purple. I also love the Kerastase Mousse. This mousse gives my hair lots of volume, is light and not sticky.

If there is one thing that I use on my face daily (other than moisturizer), it is the Becca Anti-Fatigue Under Eye Primer. I will use this even if I don't put on make up. It brightens my eyes, takes away the bags and makes me look alive. This stuff is the holy grail. I swear by it.

I am a big fan of Tarte Cosmetics. I have heard nothing but amazing reviews on the Tarte Maracuja Lip Tints. This three pack is all holiday colors and names and perfect for all holiday parties. I am most excited to try the Buttered Rum color. Another Tarte product that I am repurchasing is the Tarte H2O Lip Gloss. I have this in Room Service and I got the Hang Ten color this time.

Lastly, I had to stock up on my Stila Blush/Lipstick Combo. Yes this can be used on your cheeks or your lips. I always get it in Peony and I have been out of it for months now.
