  • Check your current products and see what you’re almost out of so you can get them on sale
  • If you need to color match, go into the store first or the website has a color match tool
  • If a friend has a higher membership ask to checkout with them and pay your part of the cart to them. They get the points & you get the higher discount, win win!

Is it worth it to shop the sale?

I would say yes and no – totally depends on your needs at this time. To start, they do this sale twice a year every year so you know that it’s going to happen another time. Meaning you can let that “must shop bc it’s on sale or I’ll miss out” mentality go. If you don’t need anything right now, don’t shop and wait for the next time. Now, if you’re out of something or have really been wanting to try a new product, this is your time!

Why I’m adding these products to my cart!

You will find some products in my cart anytime this sale comes around. They are my tried and trues and I know I’ll be running out soon lol. Others are new ones I’ve been trying out and loving!

Best glow hackOriginal Price: $44

Charlotte Tilbury Flawless Filter

Complexion Booster + Illuminizer

I can’t remember if it was 3 or 4 years ago but I went to an event for the launch of this and fell in love. I put a small amount of this underneath my foundation for more glow and dewy look. It’s very sheer and doesn’t give a lot coverage so I don’t use alone as a foundation but if you’re looking for something super light that might work for you.

Best LipglossOriginal Price: $29

Bobbi Brown Lipgloss

liquid lipstick, the comfortable feel of a balm, and the plumped-up sheen of a gloss

If I’m feeling more of a gloss for the day this is what I’m grabbing. It’s a mix between a lipstick and a gloss so it definitely still has some color. I prefer “Lychee Baby – pale pink nude”, very similar color to my pillow talk lipstick so I can also stack!

Best everyday lipstickOriginal Price: $25

Charlotte Tilbury Pillow Talk – nude pink

Pillow Talk – nude pink

This is a mini set so if you are wanting to try it this would be a great find! I’ve been using this lip stick & color for years now! It’s hard to find a good nude, especially one that works on different skin tones but this one is the holy grail! I’ve had so many of you purchase it and love it as much as I have. Top reasons I love it- it lasts longer than most on + when it starts to come off it doesn’t look splotchy.

Best chapstick/lip maskOriginal Price: $22

Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask

leave-on lip mask that delivers intense moisture and antioxidants

I know everyone raves about this one but it’s worth the hype and really is that good. Super thick, doesn’t wipe away instantly like others I try and actually wake up with more hydrated lips. I use throughout the day as well if my lips are feeling extra dry. The original berry is my favorite but they have different scents(or flavors? lol) to choose from. They all do the same thing and the tint doesn’t matter just your preference!

Best eyeshadow/linerOriginal Price: $25

Tarte Quickstick Waterproof Shadow & Liner

long-lasting, waterproof dual-ended liner and shadow stick that won’t crease, transfer, or smudge

I use this in the brown color instead of black eyeliner and the gold shadow to brighten up my eyes. My days of overlying black on top and bottom are over and I’m glad to see them go lol. Its a more natural eyeliner to me so perfect for an everyday look. I love that it’s waterproof and doesn’t smudge plus it’s super convenient having the stick shadow on the other end.

Best brow product – $21

Anastasia Dipbrow Brow Pomade

smudge-free, waterproof pomade

Another one I’ve used for years, tried a couple pencil brow sticks but always go back to this one. I find it really natural and not as harsh as others. It helps build brow without looking too dark!
