Hi guys! If you saw my post on Instagram, makeup is a huge part of my life and something I genuinely get SO excited about. The first time I had a real “makeover” was at a Lancome counter in Nordstrom, right after a breakup. Seeing how much the right makeup was able to enhance, not hide my features gave me so much confidence! Shout out to my Mom for making me sit down with the Lancome girl, haha! That was eight years ago and I’ve been a makeup junkie since.
I don’t know about you but I love finding products that give a natural “sun-kissed” glow and make you look awake. As much as I love the makeup trends on TikTok, the reality is – that’s not something I would probably wear every day.
This is why I’m excited to stock up on items I repurchase over and over at the Sephora Spring Event. You have to be a beauty insider (which is free!) to get the 10%-20% discounts on everything.

I’m going to start with products I have already tried and love/recommend and then end with some new stuff that I’ve been eyeing that I am wanting to try out!
5 Makeup Must-Haves:
- Charlotte Tilbury Pillow Talk Lip Liner + Lipstick: tried and true favorite lip liner/shade ever. I wear this almost daily. It’s a cult favorite because it matches your natural lip shade so well and looks just like your natural lips but better if that makes sense?
- Urban Decay All Nighter Long-Lasting Makeup Setting Spray: Another item I’ve repurchased for years. This setting spray holds your makeup in place all day + is perfect for all skin types, even oily like mine! So grateful for this spray in the summer when it’s humid & I don’t have to worry about my mascara ending up all over my face.
- Aether Beauty Rose Quartz Crystal Gemstone Eyeshadow Palette *clean beauty*: This is the only clean beauty eyeshadow I’ve ever come across that performs like non-clean options. Meaning – it blends beautifully, is highly pigmented, and stays on your face for 12+ hours. I recommend this palette to all my chronic illness friends or anyone who is looking for clean eye makeup that actually works!
- Anatasia Beverly Hills Brow Definer: What makes this brow pen different is the rectangular tip. It’s so easy to draw defined, straight brows with this tool and the spoolie on the other end helps correct any over-application. The tip will break if you overextend it. Just like lipstick, don’t apply it with the product twisted too far 🙂
- Charlotte Tilbury Cheek to Chic Blush in Pure Ecstasy: I refuse to use any other blush. The pink and coral combo apply to the skin as a dewy glow, which I’ve found is impossible to replicate with other products.
5 Hair Care Must-Haves:
- Olaplex N3 Hair Bonder: This is applied after Shampoo and is NOT a conditioner. It bonds your hair strands to make them stronger and smoother. I noticed a lasting difference after one use! My hairdresser adds this into my toner when I see her and it’s so much cheaper to buy it and use it at home.
- Dyson Supersonic Hair Dryer: The hype with this dryer is real. It perfectly dries my hair in under four minutes. I’ll take that time savings, thank you very much.
- Drybar Prep Rally Detangler: I use this right when I get out of the shower and brush it through my hair. It has vitamin B & smells like a bubblegum heaven.
- DAE Shampoo & Conditioner: Literally the best smelling Shampoo & Conditioner in the history of ever. Thank me later 🙂
- Moroccan Oil Luminous Hairspray Strong Finish: Another product that smells incredible and is super effective! This holds my flyaways down all day + people are always asking what perfume I’m wearing. HA!
5 Skincare Must-Haves:
- Drunk Elephant Virgin Marula Antioxidant Face Oil: I use this baby for facial rolling and scar treatment.
- Herbivore Jade Facial Roller: Use this with the above oil for a lymphatic drainage massage and say hello to your jawline again.
- Isle of Paradise Self Tanning Drops: LOVE this self-tanner for my face. I get the Medium bottle and mix 3 drops with my moisturizer before bed.
- Charlotte Tilbury Magic Cream Moisturizer: Okay, this is pricey but holy sh*t will your skin love it. I swear I look a few years younger when I use this.
- GlamGlow Supermud Charcoal Instant Treatment Mask: This is a HOLY GRAIL product for acne and blackheads. It’s a number one bestseller year over year because it works!
Items in My Cart for the Sephora Spring Sale:
I’ve had my eye on these and can’t wait to try them. Each was recommended by a friend or have super fab reviews!
- Charlotte Tilbury Hollywood Flawless Filter Foundation: I’ve seen multiple bloggers rave about it and I can’t wait to try the doe-foot applicator. It’s paraben and sulfate-free too, so thrilled about that!
- Summer Fridays Jetlag Mask: I almost feel embarrassed for not having tried this yet. It’s been all over the internet for years and has raving reviews. Time to hop on the bandwagon I guess!
- Patrick Ta Major Glow Lip Shine: I heard Kim K uses this, so I was instantly intrigued. The color and shine of the gloss are insanely gorgeous. Check this one out!
- OUAI Chill Pill Bath Bombs: I’ve heard great things about these and plz imagine these sitting by your bathtub. The aesthetics are poppin’.
- T3 Twirl Convertible 1.25” Interchangeable Clip Curling Iron: Another blogger favorite that I haven’t taken the plunge on yet & I feel like I’m missing out. These almost never go on sale, so I’m taking advantage!
- Beauty Blender: An absolute must for flawless foundation application. MAKE SURE you get the pink one, not the black. The material in the pink one is so much better! Trust me 🙂
