SEPHORA HOLIDAY SALE MUST HAVES (MAKEUP, PERFUME, AND TOOLS)

The Sephora Holiday sale is here and I can’t express how excited I am. It’s the perfect time to stock up on your favorites and buy gifts for others. Today, I’m sharing my makeup, perfume, tools, and miscellaneous must haves. Be sure to click the titles or images, which will direct you to the exact items on the Sephora site.

#1 Natasha Denona Bronze Eyeshadow Palette: If you’re a bronze/warm shadow person this palette is perfect for you. The shadows are so creamy and pigmented. It’s perfect for creating everyday and glam looks.

#2 Fenty Holo Daze Mini Gloss Set: I’m a huge fan of the Fenty Gloss Bombs. They’re one of my favorite formulas for gloss. Every year I look forward to the mini gloss sets. They typically include new shades that aren’t in the permanent collection. This set is perfect as a gift.

#3 Sephora Collection MicroSmooth Baked Powder: This is one of my favorite all over face powders. It’s great at controlling oil and leaving a nice smooth makeup finish. I’ve been using this powder for years and always stock up during the holiday sale.

#4 Patrick Ta Major Beauty Headlines Blush: I’m a blush girl through and through. It’s probably one of my favorite makeup products. I’ve been into cream blushes recently, and the blushes from Patrick Ta are really great. The blush duo includes both cream and powder formulas. I love both formulas and find the colors to be very pigmented. You can apply them together or separately.

#5 Make Up For Ever Velvet Matte Skin Concealer: This concealer is my jam. I love concealers that are full coverage. The Makeup Forever concealer is full coverage, matte, and lasts all day. I love to use this concealer to brighten my under eye area.

#6 Laura Mercier Translucent Setting Powder-Honey: I can’t rave about this powder enough. It’s definitely a game changer for my makeup. The powder is very finely milled. It’s the perfect yellow undertone and leaves a smooth finish. This powder is my jam.

#7 Huda Beauty Haze Eyeshadow Palette: This palette is great if you want to achieve a grunge makeup look. This was a nice surprise when I tried it out. I didn’t naturally gravitate towards the colors in the palette, but after playing with it I really loved it. The shadow formula is great, the colors are very pigmented, and there’s very little fall out.

#8 Charlotte Tilbury Matte Finish Bronzer: I’ve really been into bronzers lately. I’ve noticed that brands are making more brown girl friendly bronzers and it warms my heart. This bronzer from Charlotte Tilbury is great for an everyday bronzer. It’s very subtle and doesn’t give a harsh contoured look. Great for a natural bronzed look.

#9 Sephora Collection Ready to Roll Brush Set: This set is great if you’re on the hunt for quality professional makeup brushes. They’re perfect for beginners and pros. This set is also great as a gift.

#10 T3 Curl ID 1.25 Inch Curling Iron: If you’ve been following me for a while you know that I wear my hair curled allll the time. The T3 curling irons are my jam. This iron curls really quickly and leaves a nice beachy finish.

#11 Jo Malone Wood Sage & Sea Salt Candle: This is a bougie candle for sure. It’s nice if you want to treat yourself to an in home spa date. It’s a subtle scent that isn’t too overwhelming. I’d recommend this candle if you want to treat yourself or as a gift.

#12 Cinema Secrets Makeup Brush Cleaner: I spot clean my makeup brushes quite often and need something that will quickly clean and dry them. This brush cleaner from Cinema Secrets is perfect. It removes makeup from my brushes very well and doesn’t leave a greasy finish. The brushes also dry pretty fast.

#13 Ouai Scalp & Body Scrub: This is definitely a bougie scrub, but I love it. If you want to experience a luxurious vibe I recommend this scrub. I don’t use it on my scalp, but I use it as a body scrub and it leaves by body feeling so soft afterwards.

#14 Versace Crystal Noir Perfume: This perfume is very sexy. I’m into warm and spicy scents during fall and winter and Versace Crystal Noir is just that. It’s very different from the Bright Crystal perfume. I’m terrible at describing scents, so here are the key notes: Ginger, Gardenia, Amber.

#15 Kayali Vanilla 28 Perfume: This is a true vanilla scent. This perfume smells like it came straight from Madagascar. It’s very warm and sweet. It’s a grown and sexy kind of sweet. Nothing like the vanilla fragrances at Bath and Body Works (no shade). Whenever I wear this perfume I get a ton of compliments, especially from men. Keynotes: Vanilla Orchids, Tonka Absolute, Amber Woods. I also recommend trying the Kayali Mini Signature Set. This set is perfect if you want to try the different perfumes, but don’t want to commit to full size bottles just yet. This is also great for a gift.

#16. Maison Margiela Replica-Whispers from the Library: This is the perfect fall scent. It’s very warm and spicy. It reminds me of Gucci Guilty. Very sexy. I smell hints of vanilla and chocolate, but this scent isn’t really sweet at all. It’s definitely for the grown and sexy. I like to wear this on a night out. Keynotes: Pepper Essence, Tonka Bean Asolute, Cedarwood.
