Sephora’s Spring Beauty Bonus is here, so it’s a great time to share some new beauty buys with you! The Beauty Bonus is a great opportunity to stock up on old favorites or try something that has piqued your curiosity. All you have to do is sign up for a free Beauty Insider account and you can save 10-20% off your purchase. For Rouge level Beauty Insiders (like me!), you can shop now. VIB and Insiders can shop starting May 2nd, and the discount goes through May 6. Here are some of my latest favorites:
Beautyblender The LEVELER Pore Minimizing Primer: I’m already a devotee of Beautyblender’s Foundation, so I was excited to hear that they were coming out with a series of primers. This one is lightweight and blends well with the foundation. I can’t say I see a tremendous difference in my skin, but I haven’t used it a lot yet.
Caudalie Moisturizing Toner: After reading this skincare round-up from Glitter Guide, I was convinced to bring toner back into my routine. I remembered that my main concern with toner previously was that it would dry out my skin, so I opted for this well-reviewed, moisturizing option. Toner is supposed to help your skin better absorb your other skincare products so they work more effectively…which seems pretty important! I will definitely report back after I use this one for a while.
BECCA Under Eye Brightening Corrector and RMS Beauty Un Cover-Up Concealer: I’ve been switching off between these two to try to master the bane of my existence: my under eyes. I have dark circles that can use a lot of help, but I also need a product that won’t settle into the creases. Both of these products do a pretty good job, and they’re true to their names. The BECCA corrector definitely brightens, and the RMS Beauty covers up. So, if these are things you’re looking for in a concealer, check them out.
TOO FACED Peach Puff Long-Wearing Diffused Matte Lip Color: Krystal from A Pinch of Lovely posted a beauty round-up a couple of weeks ago, and when she shared a selfie on Instagram with this lip color, I had to check it out. It’s highly pigmented, easy to apply, and there are so many pretty colors!
Eyelash Primer: I’ve been using the Laura Geller Fortifying Lash Primer for a little while, but it seems to be sold out everywhere. So, I ordered a mini size of LANCÔME’s CILS BOOSTER XL Super-Enhancing Mascara Base, which I’ve heard good things about too. I’ve actually been seriously considering getting my lashes lifted and tinted, but until I commit to that, I’m all for trying products that will enhance my natural look. A primer or base helps define your lashes before mascara and depending on ingredients, can give them a boost over time as well.
Bobbi Brown Extra Lip Tint: Sometimes you just want a little subtle color on your lips, and this lip tint is the answer. It comes in four lightweight, sheer shades and it won’t dry out your lips. Highly recommend keeping one of these in your purse all spring and summer long!
Ice Roller: This isn’t from Sephora, but I had to share anyway. Grace gives amazing beauty and skincare reviews (for real people), and I was intrigued when she dedicated an entire post to the ice roller. You can read her post to learn about all of the benefits, but it’s great for puffiness in your face, and it feels amazing. Plus, it’s super affordable, so no shame in treating yourself!
