But here I am, so let’s hope there’s more than 5 of you out there right now actually reading this because it’s a good one (long, but good!)… Tomorrow begins Sephora’s Beauty Insider Event for Rouge members only, and they will receive 20% off their entire purchase with the promo code HEYROUGE until May 6th. Then for all other members, the savings begin May 2nd through May 6th where VIB members will receive 15% off with promo code HEYVIB and Beauty Insiders members will receive 10% off with promo code HEYINSIDER. To take advantage of this biannual savings, I’ve listed my recommendations as well as my own personal wish list, broken down into ‘Skincare, Makeup, and Hair’ categories to make your shopping as easy as possible. And remember, to help support the blog, please use the links below

Recommendations: I always stress to take this events to stock up on all of your current faves even if you don’t necessarily need it now. Have a favorite mascara? Favorite bronzer or face wash that you continue to purchase time and time again? Why wait until these items aren’t on sale? Stock up now and SAVE!! Below are all of my tried and true faves that I’ve probably written about a million times here and talk about them nonstop to all of my friends so I’ll spare you full descriptions of them all. If you’d like to know more about them, just give a holler.

Skincare:

First and foremost, to avoid reading every single Drunk Elephant product, if you’re new to the brand I highly recommend purchasing The Littles since it is an eight-piece collection of travel sizes. We can now formally proceed…

T3 Whirl Trio Interchangeable Styling Wand (Huge news: this fan favorite, Allure Best of Beauty winner is currently marked $50 on sale, plus you’d receive your Beauty Insider savings…woah. If you were ever interested in this, now is the time to buy and I’m sure it will sell out fast!)

Wish List: Below are products that I’m flirting with adding to cart and trying while I can score them 20% off. Do I need any of this? Definitely not. Do I want them because I’m a complete sucker? Absolutely yes.

Skincare:

Drunk Elephant Get Even Kit: I obvi love me a DE kit, as I think the savings are amaze and this one includes such fab products including the daytime serum, nighttime serum, tinted sunscreen, moisturizer, and retinol. Would be a great set if you already own The Littles or want to also purchase this set that includes bigger sizes.

Volition Beauty Strawberry-C Brightening Serum: Again, certainly don’t need but after watching the video on the product’s page on Sephora and reading the reviews I am thoroughly interested!

Tatcha Violet-C Radiance Mask: Everything about this mask sounds dreamy, especially scoring it 20% off

Coola Full Spectrum 360 Sun Silk Drops SPF 30: So in a nut shell, this Coola sunscreen also helps prevent visible signs of aging caused by sun damage. Yes please!

Tatcha The Dewy Skin Cream: I am 110% purchasing this cream as soon as the sale goes live as I have read countless amazing reviews on it and of course am already a huge Tatcha fan, and I have a feeling it could very easily go out of stock during the sale.

Makeup:

Laura Mercier Rouge Essentiel Silky Creme Lipstick in Coral Vif: I’ve heard this formula is great and similar to my beloved NARS Audacious Lipstick and this shade looks beautiful!

Huda Beauty Easy Bake Loose Baking & Setting Powder: In the past I’ve used Laura Mercier’s powders (I own this and this), but have heard that this powder is absolutely amazing, especially to set under eye concealer in the shade Poundcake.

Charlotte Tilbury Hollywood Beauty Highlighter Wand: I have wanted to try this for a while, but it actually sold out during the Fall event and I refused to pay full price, despite the insane reviews it receives. This time I’m buying it ASAP! (Side note: I love the bronzer/contour version of this!)

Marc Jacobs O!mega Gel Powder Eyeshadow in Prim-O!: I played with this pink-nude shimmer in the store and it was dreamy!

Dior Diorskin Nude Luminizer Shimmering Glow Powder in 01 – Nude Glow: I need another highlighter like I need a hole in my head, but I have always wanted this one as it is SO luxe!

Dior Addict Stellar Shine Lipstick: These puppies are brand new and sound perfect for the day, as they offers shine, hydration, and color. I currently can’t decide between 769 – Dior Fortune (a rosy plum) and 976 – Be Dior (fuchsia)…help!!

Marc Jacobs Highliner Gel Crayon Eyeliner in (Wave)Length: This midnight blue shimmer eyeliner is simply stunning and I want to purchase for a bottom lid look for a fun, summer pop!

Too Faced Better Than Sex Waterproof Eyeliner: I actually do need a new liquid eyeliner and this one has been receiving rave reviews and I’m certainly a huge fan of the collection’s mascara, plus with the savings it’s a great deal.

YSL Touche Eclat High Cover Concealer: Obvi I’ve been a long time fan of the traditional Touche Eclat, and now that they’ve come out with this hybrid concealer, I’m all about it! I color-matched in the store and I really liked the 3 – Almond shade.

Hair:

The Living Proof Perfect Hair Day Body Builder: As you know I’m a huge Living Proof fan and this product sounds great. Plus, slap an ‘Allure Best of Beauty’ sticker on anything and I’m game!

Ouai Memory Mist Heat Protectant: Read up on this spray and you’ll see it sounds like it does.it.all!

Bumble & Bumble Thickening Dryspun Volume Texture Spray: I’m almost out of my Oribe Texturizing Spray and I was thinking of giving this one a try since it has such great reviews!

Ok, I think that about covers it. Please let me know if you have any questions about anything!

Tip: Make sure you purchase everything you want fast! Products really do sell out fast during this promotion and you don’t want to miss out on the savings!

Happy Shopping!
