Sephora VIB Sale Recommendations

Brace yourselves ladies and gents, this is bound to be a long one. It's Sephora sale time again! Keep reading for my 2019 Sephora VIB Spring Sale Recommendations! Note that these are all items that I have tried in the past and love :)

The sale begins -

Friday, April 26 and ends Monday, May 6th for Rouge (20% off)

Thursday, May 2 and ends Monday, May 6th for VIB and Sephora Insiders (15% off and 10% off, respectively)

Let's get right into it!

Bite Beauty Agave+ Lip Balm ($14)

Bite Beauty Agave+ Nighttime Lip Therapy ($22)

My favorite beauty brand in the whole world decided to upgrade their best-selling agave lip line with newly formulated products! The new lip products are completely vegan, and formulated without any lanolin, which seems like it was a problem for some in the past. I literally just got these two items in the mail today. The Agave+ line also includes a lip scrub, which I didn't pick up because I have so many scrubs already. I'm recommending these two because they're just an upgraded version of the line that I am already obsessed with, so I'm certain I'll love these as well. They're priced better than the original line as well! A win win.

Bite Beauty Amuse Bouche Mini Duo Set ($15)

There are still way too many people that have not been introduced to the perfection that is Bite's Amuse Bouche lipstick line (the sole reason I fell in love with the brand) and these little minis are a perfect way to dip your toes in the water. They come in two sets, but I recommend the Bold Brights set which come in the shades Maple and Radish. I personally think the brights are universally flattering.

Laura Mercier Flawless Fusion Ultra Longwear Concealer ($29)

It took me a minute to jump on this bandwagon, but thankfully Ashley (@skinclasshero) was able to knock some sense into me. Something about this concealer is purely magical. There's no other way to explain it. It's described as a medium to full coverage weightless concealer that perfects, hydrates, and blurs with up to 12 hours of crease-resistant wear. I have two shades, 6N for complexion and 4N to brighten under my eyes, and I will absolutely be buying more when I run out. The formula is lightweight but the coverage is unbelievable. Not sure I'll buy some during the sale, but hey man, who knows. The team at LM should definitely think about expanding the shade range!!!

OleHenriksen Banana Bright Eye Crème ($38)

I've talked about this eye cream ad nauseam so I won't go into it in depth here, but if you're thinking about trying out a new eye cream, I would strongly consider this one. It's hydrating, immediately brightening, and is the perfect primer for makeup. It's inspired by banana powder that contains special pigments to instantly brighten and color-correct the eye area.

OleHenriksen Banana Bright Face Primer ($36)

I picked this up about a month and a half ago when it dropped solely on the premise that I love it's sister eye cream so much. Y'all. It's safe to say that this primer is that girl. It gives you that lit from within glow that we all love, blurs pores, brightens your dull skin, and is hydrating to boot. I have always been a matte primer girl, so this was something totally new for me. My skin has been living for all of the hydration I've been showering it with lately, and this is definitely another hydrating product that I'll keep in my arsenal. It wears beautifully with makeup, but honestly I love it's illuminating properties so much that I prime with this and then spot conceal some dark marks, and dassss it.

Supergoop Unseen Sunscreen Broad Spectrum SPF 40 ($32)

You guys need to wear your sunscreen everyday. PERIODT. There is no room for argument here. With that said, Unseen is my all time favorite sunscreen, is an incredible primer for makeup, and has no white cast. This sunscreen will continue to be on every single recommendation list I put out, you can count on it. Do yourself a favor and getsum.

Murad Invisiblur Perfecting Shield Broad Spectrum SPF 30 ($65)

This is another sunscreen/primer hybrid that I love. It's definitely on the pricey side, but if you've ever considered it, now's the time to pick it up.

Sunday Riley CEO Glow Vitamin C + Turmeric Face Oil ($40)

I received this in my January Allure Beauty Box, and I'm about 3/4 of the way through the bottle, and I'm thinking about buying a new bottle during the sale. It's formulated with vitamin C (THD ascorbate), turmeric, and evening primrose oil, to brighten, hydrate, and leave skin glowing. I can honestly say it's brightened some of the dark spots on my cheeks and jaw. It's incredibly lightweight and absorbs fairly quickly. One of my favorite tricks is to mix a couple of drops with my foundation to give me a dewy finish (if you have Fenty's Pro Filt'r Foundation, this oil works flawlessly with it!!!)

Farmacy Coconut Gel Sheet Mask - Hydrating ($6)

This is arguably my all time favorite sheet mask. Best believe imma be buying these in bulk come sale time. It's a coconut water-infused sheet mask with ultra-hydrating hyaluronic acid and cucumber extract for a healthy-looking glow. Pop these in the fridge and apply after a day at the beach or by the pool and you will not regret it.

Fenty Beauty Pro Filt'r Instant Retouch Concealer ($26)

I already have backups of these concealers so I won't be picking any up during the sale, but this is a great time to try them out if you haven't yet! I did an entire blog post dedicated to this when it dropped, I'll link it here if you want to read up on it!

Fenty Beauty Stunna Lip Paint Longwear Fluid Lip Color ($24)

Fenty blessed up with four new shades over the last few months of the Stunna Lip Paints. I bought Unveil (a chocolate brown), Unlocked (a hot pink & a personal fave 😍), and Undefeated (a deep purple). Uncensored is undoubtedly still my power red. The formula is lightweight, matte, and incredibly vibrant, but unfortunately not transfer-proof. But even after eating multiple meals, the color still looks as pigmented as when I first applied it. Pour one out for the sorcery that is Fenty Beauty.

Supergoop Shimmershade Illuminating Cream Eyeshadow SPF 30 ($24)

I was gifted these innovative products by the beautiful brand themselves, and they are so worth the splurge. Your eyelids are sensitive to sunburn, and Supergoop is here to save the day. These shadows are incredibly pigmented, long-lasting, crease-resistant, and universally flattering to brighten your eyes. They can be used alone, which I tend to do on lazy days when I want to pretend that I've tried, or used as primer before another shadow. They can also be built up to maximum pigmentation if you so desire. The formula is mousse-like, and so easy to apply. It comes in three shades all with names inspired to mimic the sun at different times of the day; First Light, Golden Hour, and Sunset.

Pat McGrath FetishEyes Mascara ($28)

Auntie Pat strikes again--this mascara adds lift and dramatic volume and length with no flakiness. The wand is also one of my favorites; it's feathery and has the ability to reach every single lash, on the top and bottom lash line. I haven't experienced any clumping, and is long-wearing. If you're in the market for a new mascara, look no further.

BareMinerals Complexion Rescue Tinted Moisturizer Broad Spectrum SPF 30 ($32)

This is my favorite base for no makeup days. It's sheer to medium coverage, with illuminating properties and protects with SPF 30. I've been using this a long time and will definitely pick up a backup during the sale.

BareMinerals Complexion Rescue Hydrating Foundation Stick Broad Spectrum SPF 25 ($32)

A recent addition to the Complexion Rescue line! This is a water-based foundation in stick form with medium buildable coverage. The finish is natural and the consistency is creamy and easy to blend out (I tend to use my fingers). I love taking this with me on the go and it gives me a little more coverage than my tinted moisturizer. It's made with 30% enhanced mineral water so when you swipe it over your face feels like a literal stick of water. It's incredibly refreshing.

And that, my friends, is the end of that. Hope you enjoyed!
