My Sephora Savings Event Picks!

11 • 05 • 2024

Hey guys! It’s time for our Super Bowl, the Sephora Savings Event! Here are my Sephora Savings Event top picks.

Here is the link to watch my video with a full discussion of all my Sephora picks!

I’ve been spending a lot of time at Sephora lately and I’ve really been analyzing what I think are the best deals to get at Sephora versus a brand site with a Friends & Family Sale or a retailer like QVC or HSN. So I really analyze deals across all retailers to figure out what I think are the very best deals to actually purchase from Sephora.

So for that reason, the number one pick for me for this sale (and what I order every single time Sephora has one of these events) is the SK-II Facial Treatment Mask. This is my go-to before events and it has been for years. I don’t know of any other retailers that discount SK-II. So to me, 20% off is the best I’m ever going to get. I’ve also experimented with ordering these from Amazon and I think they were fake so this to me is a must-have from Sephora.

The rest of these picks are products I’ve really been loving lately and I cannot get enough of. This is the time to get them. Here are two items from Summer Fridays that I have been so impressed with these days. Maybe even more so than the original Jet Lag Mask they originally released. I am going to personally repurchase this Summer Friday Jet Lag Eye serum. It is under $50! I really feel like it maybe makes my eyes a little brighter and less puffy on mornings after I sleep in the eye serum. But what I definitely know is that it is great for these fine lines because I can actually still feel that moisture left there in the next morning. The word “serum” is a little misleading- that would imply you need to layer a cream on top but the Jet Lag Eye Serum hydrates enough to be used alone.

The other thing I am absolutely loving (and now I have one for my desk drawer and one for my bathroom) is the Summer Fridays Jet Lag Hydration Mist. Now this mist leaves lasting moisture which is unusual because I feel like a lot of times you spray these things and then you actually end up feeling like drier and tighter than you did to begin with. So not only does this leave lasting moisture but I feel like it leaves a lasting glow that I love. I especially love this at night as well as during the day to refresh. It makes your skin look glossy. Love, love, love.

Okay, one more from Summer Fridays (and this is what I am personally repurchasing) is Summer Fridays Shadedrops, my SPF of choice under makeup these days. My skin just craves it. It is just such a pleasure going on that I don’t know what else to say about it. They say the best sunscreen is the one you’ll actually put on. It just feels so soothing. My skin loves it and it doesn’t break me out. I love everything about it.

You don’t need two pink cream blushes but I have been loving both these products. The Ciele blush (shade January) has SPF 50 so I’ve been using this all summer. I love the idea that you can add another layer of SPF with your makeup products. Now we’re not going to rely on just this blush for our SPF but layer upon layer. Yes, please.

Now I just reviewed a bunch of blurring blushes the other day and I love this Armani Cream Blush (shade 53, a cool baby pink). I’m late to the game on this blush because everyone has been talking about it for awhile now! The other thing I would recommend is this Makeup by Mario double-ended brush. It is really good and just what I go to whenever I’m dealing with any cream product or cream blush. Then this other smaller side I don’t use as much but if you are a contour person, this side of the brush is really good for that.

The Charlotte Tilbury Pillow Talk Fair Lip Cheat and lipstick has been my go-to lipstick lately! There is a holiday set that has a mini of both I think that is still in stock. It has the Fair shade in the lipstick and liner which I’ve never seen before at other retailers.

I cannot get enough of the Ilia Sunshift Weightless Cream Bronzer in the shade Eclipse! It is just so glowy and beautiful but it stays on. I just don’t think that any other bronzer I’ve tried really recreates that sort of glowy and almost shiny look from the real sun. Think back to when you really got some sun on your face like back in you know the early 2000s and what that looked like. It really mimics that look.

Check out this Makeup by Mario Master Eye Palette (I know I’m a broken record on this) because this is the only eye shadow I have used since I bought it months ago. I was so impressed by the formula- it is so pigmented and it lasts like no other eyes shadow formula that I have found. So actually just the other day, I bought another Makeup by Mario eye palette, the new Ethereal Eyes palette. I’m still playing around with it but I don’t like it as well. I feel like the formula isn’t exactly the same. I don’t know if I’m crazy. Please let me know if you’ve tried it. I also bought the Patrick Ta Major Dimension palette and I do not think it is anything special either. I don’t think that the quality is as good as this particular Makeup by Mario palette.

Lastly, there is a new formulation of the Clarins Double Serum that I’ve been using for years. The new formulation is great! They added some new anti-aging ingredients that prevent and reverse aging caused by environmental factors. It still plumps and firms like the previous version, but the new one also refine pores and add longer-lasting hydration (24 hours of hydration versus previously it was 8 hours). There are going to be friends and family sales later where maybe you can get a steeper discount but 20% is pretty great on a pricey product like this. If you just want to get this in your hands and on your face ASAP, then here’s your chance.

So those are my top picks for the Sephora Savings Event. I’m sure I will think of other things that I want to add to my cart. I think that you can use the code SAVINGS multiple times in-store and online to save!

Happy Shopping!!
