23 Things a Beauty Product-Obsessed Fashion Editor Is Ordering From the Sephora Sale
The Sephora Savings Event is here!
The day the Sephora-obsessed among us is finally here—the Sephora Savings Event has officially kicked off for Rouge members, with VIB and Insider members to follow on April 14. (The code SPRINGSALE applies the tiered discount according to your Sephora status.) Disclaimer: I'm not a beauty editor—I'm a fashion editor who happens to know a lot about beauty products, and checks Sephora's Just Dropped section on a daily basis. As a Rouge member myself, I'm placing my first (of several, undoubtedly) order today, and have been preparing my cart for weeks accordingly.
I'm using the Sephora sale as an opportunity to try out new product releases I've been itching to get my hands on, as well as to restock some of my favorites that are running low. And in case you don't know where to start or are just curious about what I'm considering placing orders for, I've rounded up my top picks, separated into makeup, skincare, and haircare products. As an added bonus, these buzzy, highly rated finds are also quite aesthetically pleasing, which is something this Sephora-obsessed fashion editor prioritizes. If it doesn't look good in my bathroom or bag, I don't want it.
With that, keep scrolling to find out what I'm shopping from the Sephora Savings Event, and add those that pique your interest to your cart as well, if you're so inclined.
Makeup
Aside from the very chic packaging, this new Gucci lip stain claims to be both glowy and long-lasting. I need no further convincing.
Isn't she chic? It's also a great formula. You can just blend it with your fingertips—it's impossible to mess up. I already have Dahlia and am considering adding Bow, a flattering mauve, to my collection.
New Westman Atelier product launches are not to be missed. Truth to be told, I couldn't wait and already ordered this, and can confirm it's 100% worth adding to your makeup collection. It's the most natural-looking bronzer I've ever tried, thanks to the mousse-like formula and the two complementary shades.
Refy's new skin tint seems perfect for those summer no-makeup makeup days. It's sheer yet buildable, and reviewers say that it's dewy without being too dewy.
These lip liners are so good. They really stand out among a sea of lip liner launches over the past year. They don't skip at all—they're nice and creamy, yet they last for hours. Sugar and Latte are my go-tos.
I've been itching to try Nars' new Sculpting Contour Stick, and this little set seems like the perfect way to do so.
Almost too pretty to use, amIright? It's perfect for sweeping across the cheekbones and nose on spring and summer nights.
On the opposite end of the foundation spectrum from the Refy tint is the latest from Rare Beauty, which has a natural matte finish. It's raked in a jaw-dropping amount of glowing reviews already, and I'm intrigued by the ones that say it doesn't look flat on the skin, which is a complaint of have with many matte formulas.
Skincare
This is quickly become my go-to sunscreen, so I'm already preparing for when I run out. It spreads so beautifully, wears really well under makeup, and doesn't smell like sunscreen in the least.
I don't really struggle with acne, which is what Sofie Pavitt products are formulated for, but I've found that they work for any skin type. This new Skin Jelly moisturizer sounds perfect for the humid days to come.
I have a lot of favorite Cyklar products, but the hand cream is up there—especially in the new Rose Bud scent, which is such a sophisticated, not-too-floral take on rose.
I discovered this K-beauty brand recently, and its products are really effective for red, irritated skin. This new lightweight serum is exactly what I need right now.
This is the perfect lightweight moisturizer for warm weather, and I'm in need of a restock. I like it both under makeup and over potent skincare products.
Sometimes I like a sunscreen with a bit of a tint, so Ilia's latest launch comes at the perfect time. One of its features is 8-hour oil control, which is a bonus since so many sunscreens I've encountered leave a greasy glow.
I'm thrilled that the cult-favorite Innbeauty Project made a brightening vitamin C product. After a long winter, I'm ready to glow.
Words can't describe how tired I am of cleansers that don't remove makeup. This one does not fall into that category, which is why I'd due for a restock.
Haircare
I live in the hot and humid South, and flyaways season is coming. I'm preparing now with Oribe's latest release, which smooths, shines, and holds styles in place.
I rely on thickening sprays on days when my hair looks a bit flat, and I've been hearing good things about this RŌZ one. I like that it provides texture and shine without crunchiness.
I like to use a leave-in conditioner on days when I use a detox shampoo, and this new Gisou mist seems like the perfect product for that. The reviewers love it, and I assume I will too.
Summer is the season for air-drying. I don't have curly hair like a lot of the fans of this product do, but I'm hoping it'll bring out some waviness in mine.
Will this be the product that turns me into a hair perfume girl? It's possible!
I used Moroccanoil Treatment Hair Oil for years, but their new lightweight mist is so much better for my hair type and the climate I live in. This one's another restock to add to the cart.
This set (which includes my favorite shampoo and conditioner) is such a steal.
