I have a list of my recommendations today and I’ll be posting a haul in the upcoming days. This came at the perfect time as there are quite a few things I’ve been wanting to try and my list has been growing! Shopping-wise I’m going to do one visit in store, but I have a feeling most of my haul is going to be an online order. I really like that Sephora lists when things are online only – makes shopping easier so I have to do less searching. For my recommendations I’ve split it into three categories for Skincare, Makeup and then Hair/Fragrance. Any press samples listed are indicated with a *.
Skincare
My favorites lately, I feel like skincare is the best to save on for this event. This is a rather lengthy list. If you have any questions let me know in the comments! I’m going to be stocking up on Fresh because I go through their skin and body care so quickly:
- Saturday Skin Daily Dew Hydrating Essence Mist – love this for moisture without any film
- Omorovicza Queen of Hungary Mist – best refreshing face mist for me
- Kate Somerville Eradikate Daily Cleanser – a must-have to prevent clogged pores and acne
- La Mer The Moisturizing Matte Lotion – best skincare splurge this summer
- Lancome Eau Fraiche Douceur Micellar Cleansing Water – one of the best I’ve tried no matter how many other formulas I test out, I always go back to this

Makeup
Sephora has so many good makeup items, it was difficult to narrow down my top picks, but these are what made the cut. I didn’t include any highlighters because I feel at this point EVERYONE should own a good highlighter by now. I do think the NARS Change of Sheen Highlighters, Natasha Denona Glow Powders and Hourglass Vanish Flash sticks are standouts. My recs for makeup:
- Bobbi Brown Skin Longwear Weightless Foundation * – swatches here
- Bobbi Brown Primer Plus Mattifier – excellent with the Bobbi Brown foundation for extending wear and keeping face looking matte/set all day long
- Sunday Riley The Influencer Foundation – review here
- Pat McGrath Labs LUST Gloss * – swatches here
- Tom Ford Waterproof Extreme Mascara
- NARS Orgasm Afterglow Lip Balm * – swatches here
- Laura Mercier Flawless Fusion Ultra Longwear Foundation * – review here
- Laura Mercier Translucent Loose Setting Powder
- Hourglass Veil Translucent Setting Powder * – review here
- Hourglass Veil Retouching Fluid * – swatches here
- Pat McGrath Labs MatteTrance Lipsticks * – swatches here, here and here
- Tom Ford Lip Color – Sable Smoke and Pink Dusk shown, swatches here
Hair/Fragrance/Misc.
What I’ve been loving lately:
- Christophe Robin Hydrating Leave-In Mist – best detangling spray for my hair
- Moroccanoil Treatment * – forever a multi-tasking classic
- IGK Mistress Hydrating Hair Balm – obsessed with the scent of this one
- IGK Jet Lag Invisible Dry Shampoo – love this because it’s lightweight and doesn’t leave a white powder
- Kerastase Resistance Shampoo for Damaged Hair *- this is more of a strengthening shampoo, I’ve nearly finished a bottle and will review the line soon, but I’m thrilled Kerastase is now at Sephora!
- Jo Malone Basil and Neroli and Wood Sage and Sea Salt – both amazingly fresh and light
- Tom Ford Eau de Soleil Blanc – one of my go-to summer scents, review here
