I had my eye on an LED face light for a few months, I wasn’t sure which one to get then once I decided I waited for a sale. The first sale to pop up was the Sephora annual which worked great for me because I like the Sephora points to stay in the VIB programs for the following year. I buy my big liters of shampoo and conditioner (they last me nearly a whole year) from Sephora now, I love that they started carrying Orbie products so I can stack points. Just a good idea to buy any large purchase from Sephora if possible to get the most points!

I love to stock up on my regulars at annual sale time. My foundation was close to empty so I was happy to get a new one now on sale instead of paying full price a few weeks from now.
I have been using this powder foundation for a few years now and I’m happy with it! I honestly don’t hate it, I find it to work just as well as my preferred liquid foundation (I tried them all and had a fav – its still my fav liquid – Giorgio Armani Beauty – Luminous Silk). I always thought I would hate powder. I switched to it anyway (expecting to hate it) because a well respected esthetician I went to for a facial in Pittsburgh recommended it for people who struggle with acne. I have always struggled with acne. My acne has improved since making this change, I have also made other changes so it’s tough to pin point exactly what helped the most or if it was a combination of all my efforts. I will make a full blog post about everything Ive tried that has helped my acne someday – message me if you’re interested in seeing that!
I typically use color Fairly Medium 05 – for fair cool skin with pink undertones, which is a guess, I truly don’t understand my undertones or colors.
In the winter time when I have no color I go to Fair 01 – for very fair cool skin with pink undertones – in between seasons based off my level of tan, I mix the two.
Color 05 can look too dark on me if I don’t mix, colors 2, 3 and 4 don’t work for me because the undertones are different so mixing 01 and 05 works the best for me.
Can anyone tell me how to figure out my undertones? Looking at photos trying to pick one does not work for me.
Years ago Sephora offered a service where if you spent 50$ you could have a make up artist in the store do full face make up for you, no idea if this is still a thing or not but I did that a few times for special occasions (in Vegas the Sephora in Caesars Palace on my 21st birthday) but I guess it never crossed my mind to ask this question or if anyone told me, I don’t remember. I haven’t gotten my make up done in Sephora in years but it’s a great option to be aware of if it’s still offered. Instead of spending 100$+ on an MUA, you could buy your foundation you have to buy anyway and get a similar MUA service (similar because level of experience varies with any MUA you go to).
I grabbed a couple things Ive never tried before but have been dying to try. I was so excited to try these liquid blushes!
I ordered two colors to try, Lucky and Happy
Not really sure why I never yet tried the bronzing drops from Isle of Paradise – but I never have so now is the time. Im pale and it’s springtime, time to wear shorts and hate how white my legs look. Sounds like a great time to try these.
I got both the face drops and the body drops (they are two separate products). If your unfamiliar, you mix a drop into lotion and apply the lotion as normal but rub it in perfectly, make sure you don’t miss any spots, then it acts as a self tanning lotion but instead of using a self tanning lotion, you get to pick your preferred favorite lotion of your choice.

Last but definitely not least because I am obsessed with this product. The Kiehl’s Ultra Facial Advanced Repair Barrier Cream is the best for when your skin feels dry! I swear this fixes dry skin better & faster than anything else Ive ever tried. I randomly grabbed it in a Paris pharmacy and boy i’m glad I did. That bottle is almost empty so I grabbed a refill during this sale.
You can shop the sale until 4/15! Use code YAYSAVE
Im obsessed with the light mask!
