My Sephora order arrived today and I wanted to share everything I bought. I’m really excited to try my new products and to be restocked up on my favorites. Also, the sale is still going on right now; use code HOLIDAYSAVE to get the discount.
It’s been a while since I bought my huge skincare haul, and I’m almost out of all of my favorites. I have been waiting for Sephora’s Holiday Sale to be announced before I bought anything else, and now we have the details. Here’s everything you need to know about the Sephora Holiday Bonus Sale 2019, and my top picks/things I am considering!
Usually Sephora has only two sales a year, but it looks like this year we are getting another “bonus” sale! The Sephora Summer Bonus Sale is from August 19 – 27, 2019. Here’s a look at the skincare I’ve been loving and some of the products I’m considering buying during the Sephora Summer Bonus 2019:
Before we moved, I used up all of my skincare products and I didn’t want to buy more because it would have just been more to pack and deal with. My skin really started to suffer during that time so when we finally moved, I decided to treat my skin to the Replenishing Ritual gift set from Tatcha. Here’s a review of the gift set and how I incorporate it into my current skincare routine:
Recently at Target, I saw a display for these nail decal stickers from Olive & June. My Target was almost all sold out of their six options, so I made an order online for the Rainbow Bright design and it just arrived today!
I’ve kind of talked about this Tatcha Luminous Dewy Night Concentrate before in my favorites posts, but I wanted to get a little more detailed in this full review now that I am done with my first jar and starting my second:
Every year around April, Sephora holds one of its two annual sales. During the Sephora Spring Sale, Beauty Insiders get 10% off, and VIB & Rouge level get 15% off. Since Sephora’s sales are so infrequent, this is a really great time to try something new and restock your favorites.
Sunscreen is super important to me; it’s rare that I leave my house without wearing any. In fact, aside from a vacation to the beach, I try to avoid the sun at all costs. That may sound extreme, but I’ve spent my fair share of time in the sun growing up, and I want to protect my skin the best I can now.
My go-to sunscreen for years has been the Josie Maran Argan Daily Moisturizer which is amazing and has SPF 47. I have really enjoyed all of the Tatcha products that I’ve tried so when I heard about the Silken Pore Perfecting Sunscreen, I wanted to give it a try.
It’s been about two years since I bought a new eyeshadow palette — I’m actually really happy about it. It’s so easy to see a shiny, new palette and want to buy it, but I only have one set of eyes and I rarely ever hit pan on any of my eyeshadows. I had been using the Tartelette in Bloom palette and it’s beautiful, but I had run out of a few shades and it’s been “expired” for a year 😬. It was time for something new so I purchased the new NARS Ignited eyeshadow palette.
We have so many things in our homes and in our lives that are no longer bringing us joy or serving us. We hang on to these things because we are use to it, or we think that these things have some sort of value, but if you don’t love it there’s no point in hanging on to it. This is the perfect time to evaluate the things in your life and figure out what you really need and what you really love. Here are 17 things to get rid of this year and my tips for making intentional purchases.
I’ve had my Fitbit Versa Special Edition version since the end of July. It’s been just over 4 months and I wanted to update my initial review. When the Apple Watch Series 4 was released this September, I researched and debated getting it but ultimately decided to stick with the Fitbit. Here’s my updated Fitbit Versa review and the reasons why I didn’t switch to Apple Watch Series 4:
If you have curly hair, you know it can sometimes be a struggle to get your curls to do what you want. I have been on a slow journey to find a routine that would work for my hair to help prevent damage/breakage/frizz and to accentuate my natural curl pattern. This is my experience so far with the Curly Girl Method:
Losing weight is challenging. It can be hard to get motivated and stay motivated once you set your goal to lose weight. It takes a lot of will power and discipline, and it doesn’t happen overnight. When I first lost 30 pounds in 3 months, I was super inspired. I had a vision of what losing the weight would look like for me and I was fired up to reach my goal. It’s amazing what you can do when you truly set your mind to do it.
