The bi-annual Sephora Beauty Insider sale starts tomorrow 4/7 for VIB Rouge, Friday 4/8 for VIB's and Saturday 4/9 for Beauty Insiders and runs until April 13th. I got my 15% off code in the mail and have been adding items to my cart all week that I really want to try. Let's take a look!
Urban Decay Naked Skin One & Done Hybrid Complexion Perfector ($34)- At first, I wasn't sure if I wanted to try this because I assumed it was lacking in coverage, similar to a tinted moisturizer or BB Cream. But after reading a ton of reviews, the consensus seems to be that it's a BB Cream/Foundation hybrid that has good coverage and the hydration of a BB. So now I'm curious...into the cart it goes!
Urban Decay Afterglow 8-Hour Powder Highlighter in Sin ($26)- Do I need another highlighter in my life? No, not really. But the promise of an 8-hour highlighter is intriguing since mine seem to disappear so quickly. Plus, the swatches I've seen look gorgeous!
Sol de Janeiro Brazilian Bum Bum Cream ($45)- This is actually an allover body moisturizer (despite the name) and it contains Guarana, which contains one of the most potent forms of caffeine in the world. And...since caffeine has a tightening and smoothing effect when applied to the skin, I'm thinking this might be a great thing to have during the upcoming shorts and bathing suit season. I've been loving the C. Booth lotion I got from Ulta recently and I think the caffeine in it has really started to make my skin smoother. So if this has a higher dose, I'm game to try it! Plus it has a slight amount of shimmer to make your skin glow and according to the reviews it also has a tropical scent that many people are saying is totally addictive.
Peter Thomas Roth Retinol Fusion PM Eye Cream ($55)- If you've been reading my blog for a while, you may know that I'm completely obsessed with Peter's Retinol Fusion PM Serum...it's made such a huge difference in my skin and I'm already on my second bottle. I've been using the serum under my eyes to reverse the fine lines that have started to crop up (retinol is one of the only ingredients that has been scientifically proven to rebuild collagen) so I'm really excited that he came out with an eye cream that I can use to increase the results even more.
Ouai Hair Oil ($28)- The Ouai line is brand new to Sephora and was created by celebrity hairstylist Jen Atkin (think Reese Witherspoon, Jessica Alba, The Kardashians, Sofia Vergara). I recently tried a sample of this hair oil and fell in love with how lightweight it is! When you have fine hair, oils can be scary but this doesn't weigh my hair down or make it feel greasy at all! It also smells amazing...like Gardenias. I definitely want to get the full size so that I can experiment with it more, but so far I really like it!
So that's my haul for tomorrow! What do you have your eye on for the Sephora sale?
I use the PTR retinal fusion too, and, I use it around my eyes, too. Check the ingredients and if they are the same, just use what you have... imo
ReplyDeleteWell I have to use an eye cream anyway because the Retinol Fusion PM isn't enough moisture for me. Right now I'm using just a basic eye cream that adds moisture but I figure why not use something that will actually do something for my under eye area? :)
DeleteI just added and bought the Stila One and Done too and can't wait to see the coverage/feel. After SO many good reviews, I'm hopeful!
ReplyDeleteI feel the same way when I see so many good reviews. Most of the time I agree with them but sometimes I'm just the oddball that doesn't like something, haha. :) I hope it works for you!
DeleteI'll be getting the UD Eden eye primer, Boscia White Charcoal mattifying face spray and maybe the large size of the Alterna Caviar CC Cream for hair. And that will be the end of my gift card stash...haha.
ReplyDeleteI did NOT know what to expect from the Bum Bum cream with a name like that, haha :-)
