Sephora 20% off starts today!

For VIB members, from Nov 9 through the 12th the whole store for 20% off, use code VIBBONUS. You can go into Sephora and ask for a sample of anything to take home to try before you buy. Last month my sephora account was hacked, I happened to see an email just as it came in from Sephora telling me that my email on my account was changed. I immediately called them and found out someone placed an order with all my points! Thankfully I caught that in time and they cancelled the order. Anyway I find I don't buy much makeup these days, I'm more of a skincare junkie and here are the items I have on my wish list.

SEPHORA COLLECTION

Perfect & Restore Sponge and Solid Brush Cleaner Set

I use this to tap on my under eye concealer. It’s a lot cheaper than the beauty blender sponge.

DRUNK ELEPHANT
Inspector Drunk Night Kit

This is a great deal because you get a full size TLC Framboos™ Glycolic Night Serum and for $8 more you get sample sizes of 4 other products! The night serum has a 12% AHA/BHA night serum that refines and resurfaces skin to reveal a smoother and more radiant complexion. It comes with the green magnifying glass.

SUNDAY RILEY
Tidal Brightening Enzyme Water Cream

This is my favorite light moisturizer made with hyaluronic acid and tamarind extract so your skin looks youthfully hydrated and plumped. Papaya enzymes smooth and exfoliate while alpha-arbutin visibly brightens the appearance of hyperpigmentation and dark spots. I love the cucumber scent!

YOUTH TO THE PEOPLE

Superberry Hydrate + Glow Oil

I love this facial oil. It’s made of sunflower seed oil, jojoba oil, prickly pear, acai, goji, and squalene oil to lock in moisture with the help of omega fatty acids and high levels of vitamin C while illuminating and reviving dehydrated skin without weighing it down.

BELIF

Moisturizing Eye Bomb

I really like this rich eye cream that is made of squalene, and other herbs. Belif is a Korean skin care line that uses apothecary herbal traditions.

KATE SOMERVILLE

ExfoliKate® Intensive Exfoliating Treatment
This gives you a 2-minute facial as the exfoliator smooths and polishes to reveal a glowing, radiant complexion. This best-seller is made from lactic acid and fruit enzymes— papaya, pineapple, and pumpkin. It's bright green and smells like a Christmas tree!

A great way to test out a bunch of products is to get a Sephora Favorites curated boxes which retail around $24 and come with a bunch of sample sized products. Here are a few good ones.

Skin Wonderland box has 15 pieces including products I like: Farmacy Green Clean Makeup Meltaway Cleansing Balm with Echinacea GreenEnvy, Kiehl's Since 1851 Midnight Recovery Concentrate, OLEHENRIKSEN Truth Serum, SK-II Facial Treatment Essence, Sunday Riley C.E.O Vitamin C Rapid Flash Brightening Serum.

Scouted by Sephora looks amazing with some of my favorites: Biossance Squalane + Phyto-Retinol Serum, Kopari Beauty Coconut Lip Glossy, Sunday Riley Good Genes All-In-One Lactic Acid Treatment, Youth to the People Superfood Cleanser.
