Sephora Spring Savings Event 2021

04/18/2021

It’s time for Sephora’s spring savings event!

As in previous years, VIB Rouge members get first access to the sale, then VIB, then Beauty Insiders. It’s free to join, so everyone can get 10% off!

Use code OMGSPRING for your discount and shop as many times as you like during the event. Shipping is free at $50!

My cart this year has:

tatcha’s water cream – I bought this last year and loved it. I just wish they had the gratitude size available!
The Inkey List Retinol serum – Again, another repeat purchase. I am almost done my first one and this is an affordable and gentle retinol.
Paula’s Choice Skin Perfecting 2% BHA Exfoliant – this has helped clear my blackheads away
Paula’s Choice Azelaic Acid – Trying this for the first time to see if this can help remove some of the hyperpigmentation marks left by acne
Paula’s Choice RESIST Advanced Replenishing Toner with Hyaluronic Acid – Another new one for me to try. This is supposed to be very hydrating.

What’s in your cart this year?

Sephora’s Spring Savings Event

04/24/2020

Sephora’s Spring Savings Event is on now! Sephora only offers general sales twice a year, so this is the time to stock up on your favorites or try something new.

Rouge Members will get 20% off from 4/17-5/1
VIB 15% off from 4/21-4/29
Beauty Insiders 10% off from 4/23-4/27

Everyone will use code SPRINGSAVE

It’s free to join the Beauty Insider program, so everyone can get at least 10% off on their purchases!

My cart is FULL this year and I’m trying to edit it down, but here’s what I am stocking up on:

Tatcha Water Cream – I am almost out and I loved it, so I’m repurchasing the value size!
Dr. Dennis Gross Alpha Beta Peel – I started these last year and I really like them so I’m repurchasing a few more. They are pricey but I think they work really well to even out my skin texture.
Dior Show Mascara – This has been my go to mascara for years. I keep coming back to it because its great! I get great volume and length and I like both the brush and formula.

And here’s what I’m interested to try!

Tatcha Brightening Duo – A friend recommended the Vitamin C serum and since the duo is only a little bit more than the Vitamin C alone, I am thinking about getting this, even though it is pricey.
Drunk Elephant C-Firma Day Serum – However, I’ve also heard great things about Drunk Elephant so I’m also curious to try this one since so many people love it.
Drunk Elephant A-Passioni Retinol Cream – I am really starting to notice that my skin is needing a bit more help to diminish fine lines. I love all of the DE stuff I’ve tried, so I’ve got this in my basket.

I have a few items on my wishlist this year. Every year, I like to stock up on my favorites and try something new and this year is no exception. I will be getting:

Dr. Dennis Gross Alpha Beta Universal Daily Peels – I started using this earlier this year and I love them! They are a bit pricey so I’m excited for the discount.
Belif The True Cream Moisturizing Bomb (also available in a value set!) – I loved this moisturizer earlier this year and I would like to go back to it.
Laura Mercier Secret Concealer – Unfortunately, I need a lot of this!
The new item I will be trying is Biossance Squalane Oil. I’ve heard lots of great things about this and I think my face could use a little extra hydration during these winter months, so I will be picking up a bottle to try!

My Spring Beauty Haul from Sephora and Ulta

05/21/201905/21/2019

After all of the great sales that happened this Spring I ended up with a HUGE haul from Sephora and Ulta!

I am simultaneously proud and embarrassed by my gigantic haul. I don’t think I’ve ever spent this much all at once. On the other hand, I actually practiced a lot of discipline over the past 12 months with buying a lot less, so I was restocking on a ton of items that I was running out of. I am about *this close* to finishing my current moisturizer, I just hit the pan on my concealer and I’m about 3/4 finished my current bottle of essence, so it was a good time to be restocking my beauty cabinet.

My Ulta Beauty Haul

Cosrx Advanced Snail 96 Mucin Power Essence
- I’m excited and a little scared to try the snail mucin! This is my first one.
Living Proof No Frizz Nourishing Styling Cream (free with purchase!)
- This was a great bonus they were offering when I made my purchase last week!
Cricket Amped Up Teasing Brush
- My friend showed me how to give my hair a little volume, even if I’m not trying to tease it into a giant beehive haha!
Cosrx Low pH Good Morning Gel Cleanser
- This is the first thing I opened! So far, I’m loving it and I will provide a full review soon!
Living Proof No Frizz Conditioner
L’oreal Elnett Satin Extra Strong Hold Hair Spray
- I’m on my 4th or 5th bottle by now. I love this stuff! I think it works so much better than the cheaper brands that I was using before (and have used in between when I don’t want to spend the money on this). I always regret buying the cheaper ones from Pantene/Dove/etc and I come back to this!
Anastasia Beverly Hills 7B Brush
- A friend recommended the 7B with the Dipbrow. I realized that I actually already have a #7 so I might return this! They are virtually identical, but the handle on one is a little longer.
Anastasia Beverly Hills Dipbrow Pomade (in Ash Brown)
- I’m working up the courage to try this. I hate doing my eyebrows!

I also got a sample bag with a few things

Flyer for the Gorgeous Hair Event
Bb Don’t Blow It Fine Hair Styler
Rusk Pro Shampoo and Conditioner Sample
Phyto Moisturizing Shampoo Sample
eimi Hair gel
Take a shot all in one shampoo/conditioner/body wash

Ulta Sample Bag Free With Purchase — Ulta Sample Bag

My Sephora Haul

Sephora Favorites Pro Artists Picks
- This was a great value at $25.50 with the Beauty Insider discount last month. The box is valued at $83 and includes one of my faves, the belif True Cream Moisturizing Bomb and something I wanted to try, which is the boscia Makeup-Breakup Cool cleansing oil.
Tatcha The Water Cream Moisturizer
The Ordinary AHA 30% + BHA 2% Peeling Mask
The Ordinary Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5
Fresh Soy Face Cleanser (100 point Beauty Insider gift)
Laura Mercier Secret Concealer (in #2)
- This is probably the 4th time I’ve rebought this! I love it!
Dr Dennis Gross Skincare Alpha Beta Universal Daily Peel (5 treatment size)
Clinique Take the Day Off Balm
- I decided to give another balm style cleanser a try since a friend recommended this. So far, I think it’s ok. Not amazing, but not too bad.

As you can see, I’m obsessed with skincare and slightly with haircare. I only bought 3 color cosmetics items! Haha!

I can’t wait to try them all and share my reviews with you soon. Any suggestions on which reviews you’d want to read first?
