Sephora Sale Recommendations




The Sephora sale for VIB members (15% off) is happening now! So for my first post on this beauty page I asked my friend Kate to share a few products she loves and why (FYI: She is in Sephora at least once a week trying new things!). I get most, if not all of my recommendations from her so I am so excited to share her favorite products with you!

Below we both list our top 3 products and what they can do for you, if you have any questions feel free to message me on Instagram!

Tip: If you don't want to buy the full size of a product from Sephora, ask for a sample! They are more than happy to give you a small sample to take home and test out. If you still don't want to buy the full size, almost every product has a "travel size" for under $25!

Tori’s Picks:
  • Cicapair™ Tiger Grass Re.Pair Serum: My entire life I have always had extremely sensitive skin, so when it came to trying new products I immediately broke out and could never try anything new for improvement. This gel-like serum by Dr. Jart has changed skincare for me. This product took away the redness and irritation I have always experienced by using it once a day before bed and I can now use facial peels which brings me to my next product.
  • Doctor Dennis Gross Peel Pads: When using with the above serum, my face can now handle the extra strength at home peels (not as strong as you think). I try to do this two step peel at least once a week or when I’m starting to break out. It leaves my skin glowing, smooth and break out free!
  • First Aid Beauty Moisturizer: This whipped like moisturizer instantly absorbs into the skin and doesn't leave you feeling greasy afterwards! This is perfect for sensitive skin and instant hydrates. After using for about a month i've realized the redness in my skin has calmed down and my face is slowly becoming less oily due to how hydrated it is!
  • Fenty: Pro Filt'r Soft Matte Longwear Foundation: I never would have given this a try but when a Sephora worker applied it to my face while getting my makeup done I will never use another foundation. It's made for girls with oily skin, leaving a matte finished look. I pair this with Laura Mercier's setting powered and the foundation stays put and matte ALL DAY. Go to Sephora and asked for a sample, you'll be running back to buy the full bottle in no time! For reference I'm using shade 270 for the summer. 

Kate’s Picks:

  • Boscia Exfoliating Peel Gel: This product gets rid of any dead skin on your face, the best part is how gentle and low maintenance it is.
  • Drunk Elephant Rise and Glow Duo: I’ve been using both products together everyday for about 2 months. I’ve noticed my skin has a glow and looks radiant. Both products are packed with vitamins to help brighten and hydrate your complexion.
  • Sephora Collection Beauty Amplifier Mattifying H20 Gel Primer: I received a sample of this primer  and i’m never turning back. This product has an interesting gel texture which I only apply to my t-zone or where ever I have the most oil. This primer will blur out pores and reduce any shine you might have.
  • Benefit Precisely My Brow Pencil: Hands down my favorite brow pencil! It delivers natural hair like strokes, to help those of us who weren’t born with amazing brows, achieve a natural “I woke up like this” brow.
