SEPHORA SALE HAUL

Crown Affair The Air Dry Ritual Set // EADEM LeChouChou Peptide Lip Balm // Hourglass Ambient Lighting Bronzer // Caliray Under Eye Color Corrector // MAKEUP BY MARIO F4 Dual-ended Brush // MAKEUP BY MARIO Cream Contour + Bronzer Stick // HAUS LABS Lip + Cheek Balm Stick 

This post is overdue but I had to share the new goodies I picked up during the Sephora Fall Savings event a few weeks back! I'm so excited to refresh my makeup bag and try out some things I've had on my wish list! I always prioritize complexion and skin above all else now. That's definitely a flip from when I was younger- I use to be obsessed with the eyes! I still have all of my old eyeshadow palettes from back when all of the Naked/Chocolate palettes were all the rage. They're all undoubtably way past their expiration dates now but I don't know if I can ever part with them. Too sentimental, ya'll. 

Nowadays I pretty much just alternate between paint pots and the mini palettes from Natasha Denona, lol. Not too much going on there which is why there are zero eye products in this haul, hehe. For under the eyes, I did pick up this Caliray Under Eye Color Correcting Concealer in Dawn. This product has been on my wish list for FOREVER because it's always sold out. By some miracle, it was back in stock during the sale. The shade Dawn is a super pale pink tone to help cancel out dark circles and brighten underneath the eye. I've only tried it out once so far but I'll keep you posted. 

Makeup by Mario is killing it in the complexion game. I loveeee the Skin Enhancer so I wanted to try out the Cream Contour stick too. I also finally snagged the F4 brush- I'm not sure if I've ever seen a Sephora recommendations or wish list video on TikTok that doesn't feature this brush, lol. So far, I like both! I'm happy with the Fair shade in the contour stick- it's not too orange or muddy. 

The Haus Labs Lip + Cheek Balm Stick was an impulse buy- I picked up the shade "Glassy Ginger." How could I not....? Hehe, it's beautiful too. The perfect peachy tone I love. Last for the face is the Hourglass Ambient Lighting Bronzer in Luminous Bronze Light. I haven't purchased a new powder bronzer in the longest time so I was itching to try something new! I also love Hourglass products but can you believe I've never tried any of the Ambient Lighting powders? This one is super silky and blends well. 

The last few items are the Crown Affair The Air Dry Ritual Set and the Le ChouChou Peptide Lip Balm in Burnt Malai from Eadem. I was definitely influenced on the Crown Affair by all of the hair towel hype- I'll keep ya'll posted. I've always wanted to try out some of their products so this seemed like a good kit to start with. I already love the lippie! It feels hydrating and smooth on + the applicator is great! They also have some great shades!

What products are you loving at the moment?

SEPHORA HAUL

No vacation is complete without a lil' shopping! If you missed Monday's post, I took a spontaneous trip to Charleston, SC this past weekend. Charleston is a great place to visit with an amazing history, coastal beaches, lots of sight-seeing and lots of shopping. One of the best and most popular places to go is King Street, a 100-block street full of retail shops and restaurants. It has a mix of moderate and higher end boutiques and stores. I had to visit Sephora while I was there + picked up a few new goodies! Mine was previously inside of JC Penney's which always offered a much smaller selection than the main stores. 

I've been on the hunt for a new shampoo + conditioner to try. All of the ones I've tried lately haven't really wowed me or made much of a difference in my hair. I've also been feeling like my hair has been more on the frizzy side lately so I decided to try out the dae Monsoon collection. This line is designed to hydrate, tame frizz and smooth. All the things I need!! It has great reviews and is "clean," so I picked up both the shampoo + conditioner. I've also heard great things about the K18 Leave-in Mask. It's hella pricey though so I grabbed this mini size to try. 

I didn't do too much makeup this time around but I have been dying to get my hands on the Summer Fridays Lip Butter Balm. It's constantly sold out online so I was really excited that they had several in store! I chose "Vanilla." I've also been wanting to venture into the feather brows trend which this Charlotte Tilbury Tinted Brow Gel looked like it would be good for. 

THE GOODS:

+ DAE MONSOON MOISTURE MILK HYDRATING SHAMPOO 

+ DAE MONSOON MOISTURE MILK HYDRATING CONDITIONER 

+ K18 LEAVE-IN MOLECULAR REPAIR HAIR MASK 

+ SUMMER FRIDAYS VANILLA LIP BUTTER BALM 

+ CHARLOTTE TILBURY LEGENDARY BROWS TINTED EYEBROW GEL

WHAT'S IN MY SEPHORA CART

My hair is needing some help these days. For years I've dealt with dryness + scalp issues which is soooooo frustrating. I've also been noticing more flyaways/dullness so I'm hoping to bring some life back to it. I'm debating whether to cut it shorter or not but also found a few new products I want to try from Sephora. Here's what I have in my cart so far! 

I love sharing my picks with you all. Should you click on or make a purchase through the links in this post, I'll earn some money to keep on shopping! Pretty cool, huh? :) 

WHAT'S IN MY SEPHORA CART

1. Olaplex No. 3 Hair Perfector - I found this under top-rated hair masks on Sephora. There are several options but this one is part of the Clean at Sephora products (free from parabens, sulfates SLS + SLES, phthalates, mineral oils, formaldehyde, etc.) which I love. It's not my number one requirement but I like to make a conscious effort to buy clean/free if possible.

Olaplex has a whole range of hair products that get great reviews. The No. 3 Hair Perfector is a treatment that is targeted at restoring the hair and helping with damage and breakage. I like the concept of this actually repairing your hair from within which *should* hopefully help with the exterior (flyaways, etc.) 

2. Gisou Honey Infused Hair Oil - The look + hype of this Gisou Honey Hair Oil drew me in! She's a boujee one but she gets great reviews. It's an oil formulated with honey that you apply to damp hair. In my experience, this either works or you wake up with greasy, weighed down hair. When I buy and try, I'll let you guys know lol. The bottle is gorg too-- very vintage, Parisian vibes.

3. Velour Lashes Fluff'N Brow Pencil - You already knew I had a few stragglers get thrown in the cart! I'm always up to try a new brow pencil + I'm almost due for a new one. I haven't heard much about this one by Velour Lashes but it gets better reviews than my two favorites from Hourglass + Anastasia. It's also a 3-in-1 with a brow pencil, a setting balm + spoolie. 

4. Rare Beauty Liquid Touch Brightening Concealer - This brand is newish to Sephora and I haven't tried anything yet. Awhile back I saw someone mention they loved the concealer so I am curious to try. My ride-or-die under eye product for brightening is this one by MAC so we will see how it stands up! 

5. Rare Beauty Liquid Touch Concealer Brush - This one is a surprise to me, you guys. I haven't been on the hunt nor do I need a concealer brush. I always use a beautyblender or my finger but it looks like I'll be buying this one? When I searched for the Rare concealer, this came up with it. I'm not even kidding-- I don't think I've ever seen so many positive reviews on a concealer brush! It's also only $16 here (great price for a higher-end brush IF it's good). Gotta get to the bottom of this... I'll keep you guys posted! 

6. IGK Good Behavior 4-in-1 Prep Spray - Back to hair, this IGK 4-in-1 Prep Spray looks good. I haven't been using hot tools very often over the past few years so I've slipped on the heat protectant (I know, I know). I have a good excuse to get one now since my boyfriend bought me this GHD Heat Brush (I've been curious to try it out for years!). The IGK spray is suppose to work as a heat protectant, detangler (neeeeeed this too) and helps to eliminate frizz and add shine. Love their vibe/packaging as well.  

7. ILIA Lip Wrap Clean Hydrating Lip Mask - I'm constantly applying chapstick for my dry lips so I thought this lip mask looked promising. It's another Clean product + gets great reviews. 

8. LAWLESS Forget the Filler Lip Plumper Line Smoothing Gloss - As soon as Annie (founder of Lawless Beauty) shared this new lip plumping gloss, I knew I needed to try it out! Lawless is a great clean, luxe beauty brand. I have several of their products and love them (the foundation is one of my holy grails). The Forget the Filler gloss is suppose to give a plump look to the lips but also has great ingredients to hydrate + smooth. Sounds like a great concept with clean ingredients! 

9. Tower 28 Beauty ShineOn Milky Lip Jelly Gloss - I've had my eye on Tower 28 Beauty for a little bit. The packaging and clean design of their products is so cool + kind of retro? I think it reminds me of the '80s. It's also a clean brand + the price point is very reasonable/"affordable" for Sephora. The ShineOn Milky Lip Gloss looks like the perfect everyday gloss. There are several shades but I have "Oat" in my cart.

**Also going to add this Sephora Collection Scalp Massager once it comes back in stock. I've heard these are good to use while washing your hair to help with dryness + apply product. This one is only $10!**

What's your favorite product at the moment? LMK!

Kristen
