The Sephora sale is finally here! What is the Sephora sale? If you’re not familiar, it’s a sale the offer to their “Beauty Insiders” members, but it’s free to sign up so it’s not too late if you’re not a member! VIB Rouge members (spend $1000 per calendar year to be at this tier) get 20% off and can shop starting 4/9, VIB (spend $350 per calendar year to be at this tier) get 15% off and can shop starting 4/13, and Beauty Insider (free to join no minimum spend) get 10% off and can shop the sale starting 4/15.
Their semi annual sale always happens during the spring and fall, and when I can I try to wait to purchase things during the sale, or use it to try some new items I’ve been eying! Some of the things I wanted are already sold out, but I’m hoping they will be restocked before the sale ends. Since I’ve been working from home, I have not worn much make up recently and have been focused more on skin care. The make I do wear is light coverage, blendable, and easy to just throw on before I’m on video calls all day to help me feel more put together.
I broke out what I’m buying into new purchases and restocks below.
Restocks:
- Oleplex No 3 Hair Perfector
- Summer Fridays Soft Reset
- Merit Minimalist Perfecting Stick in Linen
- Grande Lash Lash enhancing Serum
- Tatcha Rice Wash
- Farmacy Green Clean Make Up Removing Balm
Everything I am rebuying are all products I use daily (except the hair perfector which I use weekly) and absolutely LOVE. They are all products I don’t substitute for other ones, since they are the best in each category. I would also not normally care too much about my lashes, I’m fine with just mascara. But I have my wedding coming up and after trying the grande lash for 2 weeks I already can see a difference! The combination of the Farmacy green clean, Tacha rice wash, and Summer Fridays soft reset have kept my skin almost blemish free, and have eliminated the need for me having to use a lot of foundation, just spot concealing. They’re both a bit on the prier side, so the sale is the perfect time to stock up.
New to me:
- Ilia Super Serum Skin Tint in Formosa
- Ilia Blue Light Protect + Set Mist
- Merit Flush Balm Cream Blush in Terracotta
- Meit Blending Brush
- Saie Dew Liquid Cheek Blush in Rosy
These are products I have had my eye on for a long time, and really thought and chose carefully what I was purchasing since the costs add up quickly! I have tried many samples of the Ilia skin tint, and I loved it. It is pricey, but it is a skin tint, serum, and sunscreen in one and is lightweight and perfect for summer. I’ve been loving cream blushes, and buying both the Merit and the Saie one seems like overkill but one’s more bronzy and one’s more of a peachy pink, so I will get different uses out of them. I’m excited to try the Ilia setting spray, as it will be my first “clean” version of the product. I also thought the idea of it being blue light blocking was great since I’m in front of multiple screens all day, but who knows if it actually works!
There are many items that are sold out, but they sometimes do get restocked so check back often! I usually have the best luck with restocks in the mornings 🙂
