@claireroseIn case you missed it, the Sephora Savings Event is happening right now, which means all of its Beauty Insiders can score major discounts on pretty much everything sitewide. Here are the details: Rouge members will receive 20% off; VIB members will receive 15% off; and Insiders will receive 10% off. Use the code TIMETOSAVE at checkout. That's it. That's all you need to know. Well, except for the fact that Sephora Collection products are all 30% off.
So, yeah, it's a pretty big deal, and you don't want to miss out on it. Luckily, you have until November 6 to click "add to basket." I, for one, have a whole wish list of products I want to buy to refresh my beauty routine ahead of the cold winter months. And I thought I'd share it with you. Ahead, check out everything I'm planning on grabbing during this sale, from an end-all matte eye shadow palette to a dreamy designer fragrance.
Created by celebrity makeup artist Patrick Ta, this palette houses a combination of velvety matte eye shadows in both cool and warm tones. I'm planning on snagging this to create a variety of eye makeup looks throughout the holiday season.
I'm obsessed with these golden, glow-giving drops, which I use before foundation, kind of like an illuminating primer. They make my foundation look so good, and I love that they're spiked with niacinamide for brightening and anti-aging skin benefits.
If there were ever a time to invest in the Dyson Airwrap, it's now, when you can get up to 20% off. I know this is expensive, but I also know it styles hair like nothing else. When you take 20% off the original price, you're getting a huge discount—just saying. This feels especially urgent seeing as it's available in this limited-edition cobalt blue.
One of my favorite fragrances of all time, this perfume gets me all kinds of compliments. I think it's because it doesn't necessarily smell like perfume; it smells like me but better. It's all thanks to notes of skin musk, bergamot nectar, and blonde wood. I can't stop spritzing it.
This TikTok-viral lip balm delivers moisture, shine, and a hint of sheer color. Rest assured it's not one of those tinted lip balms that leave your lips feeling parched after an hour or two—nope, it's seriously moisturizing. It's all thanks to shea and murumuru seed butter and vegan waxes. While I love all the shades, this one, called Vanilla Beige, is a personal fave for fall and winter.
This serum offers all the benefits of retinol without actually using retinol. Yep, it's one of the buzzy retinol alternatives that everyone's talking about. It uses resveratrol, a powerful antioxidant, as well as hyaluronic acid and vegan collagen to firm, plump, and smooth the skin.
I just went through an entire bottle of Crown Affair's The Ritual Shampoo ($36) and The Ritual Conditioner ($36). That's a big deal because as a beauty editor, I'm constantly swapping products in and out of my shower. The brand's mask is next on my list. It uses tsubaki seed oil and yuzu extract to increase elasticity, smoothness, and fullness.
I'm going to admit something that's probably blasphemous considering I'm a beauty editor: I've never tried this TikTok-viral product. I know, I know, but it's better late than never, right? I'm definitely intrigued by its blurring, smoothing, and illuminating effect, and I'm thinking I'll use it as a sort-of primer before applying foundation.
I'm trying to be better about doing at-home facial massages, which is why I'm going to snag this face oil at a discount while I still can. It's full of yummy ingredients like Santorini grape extract, grape-seed oil, and resveratrol for softening the skin and improving texture and tone.
To prevent bumps, ingrown hairs, and uneven texture, I'll be using this body peel. It contains 12% exfoliating acids, so it's just what my dry winter skin needs.
Winter causes trouble with my skin. To prevent dryness and irritation, not to mention fine lines, I'm going to use this serum. It's formulated with lactic acid, hyaluronic acid, and squalane. Together, these ingredients smooth, hydrated, and plump the appearance of the skin. It's just what I need.
ICYMI: I'm obsessed with this brand and pretty much all of its products. I'm particularly fond of this hair mask, though. It's rich and creamy, smells subtly tropical, and never fails to make my hair feel smooth and soft. I could go on and on about this, but I'll keep it short: It's worth the money.
Because I can't help myself, I'm adding another Fable & Mane product to my wish list. It's this pre-shampoo hair oil. Ever since I started using it, I can tell the ends of my hair are healthier. I see way less breakage and split ends.
When I tell you this is my favorite blush, well, ever, I mean it. It's highly pigmented, lasts all day long and gives my skin the prettiest flush. I like this cool-toned berry shade. Although, all of them are worth trying.
Editor tip: Instead of applying this directly to your cheeks with the applicator, try applying it to the back of your hand, bouncing a Beautyblender ($20) into it, and then patting it on your face. It gives a more natural-looking result.
I usually avoid sleeping masks because they feel too heavy on my skin, do nothing for my irritation, or break me out. This one is different. It's lightweight, soothes my redness and sensitivity, and never (I repeat: never) breaks me out. I'm assuming the magic in this formula comes from the fermented forest yeast extract, which supports the skin barrier. Whatever it is, I'm going to keep using it.
I'm a sucker for the laminated brow look, but I don't want to spend the time or money to get it professionally done, so I'll stick with this brow gel instead. Actually, it's a gel-wax hybrid, which means it keeps brow hairs locked in place for hours.
The brand's Brazilian Bum Bum Cream ($48) may be the most iconic product from the brand, but lately, I've been loving this exfoliating bodywash. It smells sensual and sugary, with notes of dark fruit, florals, creamy vanilla, and musk. Beyond that, I love that the AHA and BHA formula keeps my skin bright and smooth.
This fragrance smells so incredible to me. It's a warm floral with notes of blackcurrant, jasmine, and bourbon vanilla. Judging by the notes alone, I'd probably assume this perfume would be too sweet for me, but luckily, I've smelled it, and it was love at first sniff. Instead of being too floral or too sweet, it smells warm and sophisticated. It's a fragrance I'll be wearing all fall and winter long.
