It’s my favorite time of year. The Sephora Holiday Event is finally here, which means it’s time to save on all things beauty. I love when the Sephora Holiday Event rolls around, because it’s the perfect time to stock up on my favorites as well as check out new items. Every year I share my recommendations and this year is no different. Today, I’m sharing all of my skincare recommendations (makeup recommendations will be in a separate post). Get your wishlist together and let’s’ get ready to shop. Be sure to click on each item title which will be a direct link to all products.

#1 Glow Recipe Papaya Sorbet Smoothing Enzyme Cleansing Balm: This cleansing balm is so good. It does a great job at removing all makeup and melting everything off. Even the hairline.

#2 Kiehls Calendula Foaming Cleanser: This is my holy grail face cleanser. I’ve been using it for two years now and I love it. It does a great job of cleaning and doesn’t leave it dry or too harsh. I also love that it isn’t super thick and very gentle on the skin.

#3 Olehenriksen Balancing Force Oil Control Toner: This is a cult (Instagram) favorite. I’ve been using this toner for years, thanks to Desi Perkins’ recommendation. It’s perfect if you suffer from acne prone skin. It has a slight tingle, but works great to reduce acne and blemishes.

#4 Olekenriksen Glow2OH Dark Spot Toner: This toner is great at brightening dark spots. I suffer from hyperpigmentation and I’ve found that using this toner daily has helped to even my skin and reduce dark spots.

#5 Fresh Rose & Hyaluronic Acid Toner: I love using this toner when I need extra hydration. It leaves my skin feeling so soft and smooth afterwards.

#6 Olehenriksen Banana Bright Eye Cream: My holy grail eye cream. I’ve been a fan of this eye cream for years and will continue to sing its praises. This is the best eye cream on the market (in my opinion). It instantly brightens your under eye area and leaves it feeling so soft. I love that it contains Vitamin C and banana brightening powder. Some eye creams can irritate the eyes, but this one isn’t irritating at all.

#7 Tatcha Violet C Radiance Mask: This mask is luxurious (and has a luxurious price). It makes me feel like I went to the spa and got a facial. It truly is a nice treat. It also makes my skin feel really soft after applying.

#8 Cold Plunge Pore Mask: The Instagram blue mask. This mask was all over my Instagram timeline when it first came out. I’ll admit that I was a little skeptical about it, but it’s honestly one of my favorite masks to grab. I love the cooling effect and how it keeps my pores clean.

#9 Kiehls Rare Earth Deep Pore Mask: This is also a great mask to use when you want to really clear your pores. I also found that this helps with acne prone skin.

#10 Peter Thomas Roth Sulfur Acne Mask: My holy grail mask for acne. I love this mask so much. It contains Sulfur is more gentle compared to Glycolic and Salicylic Acids. It reduces the appearance of acne overnight. I use this as a mask over my entire face or I apply it as a spot treatment.

#11 Laneige Lip Balm: I love a good lip balm and this one from Laneige works great. It keeps my lips feeling smooth and juicy. This is perfect for a gift.

#12 Sunday Riley Retinol Serum: I received this in my Ipsy bag this month and I really like it. I was looking for a higher dosage of retinol and this is perfect. It isn’t drying as some retinoids are. I’ve noticed how even my skin is since using it. I typically apply this serum 2-3 times per week and use in my night time routine.

#13 Olehenriksen Banana Bright Vitamin C Serum: This serum is my jam. I’m a huge fan of Vitamin C and believe that it’s one of the key ingredients in having clear and healthy skin. This serum is great at brightening the skin, but it also moisturizes. It contains both Vitamin C and Hyaluronic Acid, which are two ingredients that do wonders. I use this in my day time routine and apply sunscreen afterwards.

#14 Summer Fridays Jet Lag Mask: I always call Summer Fridays the Instagram brand. Mainly, because the brand was founded by two influencers. Their packaging is also aesthetically pleasing for the perfectly curated Instagram feed. Aside from the perfect packaging, this mask is great for days when you need a little more moisture. I actually don’t use it as a mask. I like to apply this as a night cream. When I wake up in the morning my skin feels so lovely.

#15 Summer Fridays Overtime Mask: This mask is great as an exfoliant. My skin gets dull from time to time. The Overtime mask helps to get rid of dead skin and clarify.

#16 Supergoop Everyday SPF: Everyone needs a good SPF in their life and I’m a little picky about my SPF. I love this SPF, because it isn’t greasy, doesn’t leave a white cast, works great under my makeup, and it’s effective.
