SHOP MY MAKEUP ROUTINE
Top 5 makeup products in my bag:
My Spring makeup routine is all about light, natural coverage with a dewy finish and takes under 10-minutes. It's SO hard to narrow these down, but if I had to pick just 5 makeup products, these are my current ride-or-die's:
1/ I've really liked using the Saie Glowy Super Gel as a lightweight primer (Sunglow is great if you want an added bronze). You can also mix it into your foundation if you want more of an overall glow.
2/ The Armani Luminous Silk Natural Glow Foundation is newest to my bag and I'm shocked at how I went this long without trying it. Weightless on your skin with light to medium coverage that somehow looks completely airbrushed. I use shade 5.1 this time of year.
3/ If you have any semblance of dark circles, Charlotte Tilbury's Magic Vanish Color Corrector will change your life. I apply a light layer before under-eye concealer and the difference is night and day.
4/ During the last sale, I purchase Haus Labs' Triclone Skin Tech Concealer (Light Rosy) and fell in love with it's creamy formula. I love it especially for under eyes. It feels super hydrating and never creases.
5/ Couldn't not mention my No.1 lipstick shade! The Makeup by Mario SuperSatin Lipstick in Bronx Baby has a satin finish that's creamy on the lips and it's soft warm rose color is my perfect nude.
SHOP MY MAKEUP BRUSHES
If you refresh one item in your makeup bag that isn't a makeup product from the Sephora sale 2024, let it be one of the Saie makeup brushes. I cannot say enough good things about the overall performance of these brushes and how easy they have made makeup application. I used to strictly be a beauty blender girl for foundation, but don't think I'll go back after using Saie's foundation brush. The cream bronzer brush is also a must-have for me, for any cream bronzers.
You also influenced me to try Makeup by Mario's F4 dual brush during the last sale, and it did not disappoint. I love this especially with the Softsculpt Bronzer.
All of Sephora collection is 30% off during the sale, so it's the perfect time to take advantage of a brush refresh. Here are all of my favorite brushes I use.
New products I was influenced to try
1/ Patrick Ta Major Headlines Creme/Powder Blush Duo
Blush is the product I love to switch up most-often. I’ve been eyeing this pinky shade and love that it comes in a mini version!
2/ Haus Labs Contour Stick in Chisel
I recently tried this in shade ‘Sculpt’ and it was too dark, so swapping it for another shade. I love that there are true cooler-toned options with this contour stick.
3/ Haus Labs Dual-Ended Sculpting Brush
I’ve seen too many people talk about Haus Labs brushes not to try. I don’t have a specific contour brush, so I figured this would be perfect.
4/ Armani Beauty Liquid Eye Tint in 44S
I got on these thanks to your recs. If you hate eyeshadow (me), this is the absolute easiest product you’ll ever use. Love this pinky shade for holiday!
5/ Fara Homidi Smudge Lip Pencil in Faun
@makeupxka is one of my fave beauty influencers to follow and she has been raving about this lately! Her recs never steer me wrong.
6/ Patrick Ta Eyeshadow Duo in 'In Your Dreams'
I love the compactness of this dual palette and think it’ll make the perfect shadow topper on nearly any look that needs a little sparkle.
7/ Glossier Cloud Paint Plush Blush in Puff + Gale
Glossier Cloud Paint liquid blush is one of my OG favorite blushes, and I am sooo excited to try this new ‘plush’ cream to powder hybrid formula.

Sephora Sale 2025 restocks
+ I've been using Glow Recipe's Pore Tight Toner every AM + PM for years now. It's the one product I'll never skip and my face just feels so clean afterwards.
+ It's about that time again to restock one of my favorites — Charlotte Tilbury's Magic Vanish Color Corrector is the best product for combatting dark circles. I live and die by this stuff.
+ Favorite lip liner of all time is Make Up For Ever's Wherever Walnut. Finally time to restock! For using daily, it actually lasts so long.
Products that didn't make the cut
For as much as we try out when it comes to beauty, I wish the not-so-great was talked about more! Here's a list of products I've purchased and returned. Of course, beauty products are subjective, so please take my opinion as just that!
+ Everybody is currently raving about the Ciele skin tint and it was just meh for me. It felt thin and like it could be drying over time.
+ Saw the Too Faced Cloud Crush Blush on someone and liked the color but I didn't like the sparkly formula
+ The Charlotte Tilbury Airbrush Flawless Longwear Foundation caked off by the end of the day. Did not like the formula at all.
+ Urban Decay's Big Bush Volumizing Brow Gel did absolutely nothing. I could see this working on lighter brows but I'll stick to my Anastasia.
+ I love the Summer Friday's Lip Butter Balm formula, but the shade Iced Coffee had the grossest fake brown sugar flavor, and I just couldn't get on board.
+ Always on the lookout for a glowy, hydrating body butter and was hyped about the YPT Hydrate & Glow Body Butter but the fragrance was too bold for me.
+ My sensitive skin didn't like the Iconic London Underglow Primer - clogged my pores.
SHOP MY SKINCARE FAVORITES
I tend to forget about tools and focus more on products during Sephora sales but one to keep an eye on is the Dermaflash. I splurged on this and it has been so much gentler on my skin than using a dermaplaning (peach fuzz) razor. I do it about 1x a month and it leaves my skin feeling like I just got a facial while also enhancing makeup and skincare application.
Also love that Lux Unfiltered is now at Sephora! My go-to facial tanning drops are great for sensitive skin and won't clog pores. I mix a few drops in with my Summer Fridays serum about 1x per week.
SHOP MY HAIRCARE FAVORITES
I'm not a big haircare product junkie, but I do have my tried-and-true favorites I've been using forever. The Ouai Detox Shampoo is such a game-changer for me and gives me a solid 4-5 clean hair days. It does an amazing job of removing product build up and really cleaning my hair. Dae is another favorite haircare brand; the Cactus Fruit 3-in-1 Styling Cream is my go-to for slicked back buns - so lightweight and leaves no oily residue whatsoever. Blondies, don't skip out on the Violet Hour Purple Shampoo either!
I'd be remiss if I didn't give another mention to Oribe. The Gold Lust mask will change your life and the Maximista Hair Thickening Spray makes such a noticeable difference in the thickness of my hair.
Also worth noting that the Shark Flexstyle is discounted during the sale. Have been obsessed with this multi-styling tool since 2020 (full review and Dyson comparison here)
