Below I’ve rounded up my own Sephora sale picks + gift ideas for the makeup or skincare enthusiasts on your Christmas list!
Out of the all beauty products I can’t live without…. this is number one. Allow me to introduce you to the heavyweight champ, bareMinerals barePRO liquid foundation. My love for this foundation runs DEEP. I may or may not have joked about naming my first child after it (was I joking though…?). It’s non-comedogenic, paraben free, contains SPF, looks truly flawless, and literally doesn’t budge all. day. I’ve been using it for more than 3 years now, and I’M NEVER TURNING BACK.
I caved into buying this because I heard so much chatter about it, but I only started using a setting powder a few years ago, and can’t believe what a true game changer it really is. I look back on years of wearing foundation or concealer without a setting powder and cringe. The Laura Mercier Translucent Setting Powder is truly a MUST-HAVE. When it comes to keeping everything in place for all day, keeping oil under control, and preventing your under-eye concealer from creasing. This will be your new best friend.
After years of searching for the perfect eyebrow products, I’ve officially reached the conclusion that Anastasia Beverly Hills Dip Brow Pomade is the best there is, plain and simple. It’s completely smear-proof, lasts all day, and gives you super natural results. I use an angled brush like this one here, dip it in a little bit of water to work around in the pomade, and apply. So, if you’re looking for envy-worthy brows. This baby is your key.
Finding the perfect mascara was an ongoing journey until I tried the Ilia Limitless Lash Lengthening Mascara. There’s a reason this mascara has almost 2,000 “loves” on Sephora. It’s the best there is, plain and simple. It’s a clean, award-winning, cult-favorite mascara that lifts, lengthens, holds curl, and separates with precision. I can wear it all day with no smudging or flaking, which is exactly what I want in a mascara.
