Hello Beauties!

I’m so excited to share with y’all my Sephora Favs! They are currently having a Spring Bonus S A L E!!

Beauty Insiders get 10% off with code YAYINSIDER (if you’re not a member you can sign up the day of, no membership fee!)

Rouge and VIB members get 15% off with code YAYVIB or  YAYROUGE

Let’s get to my top picks that I use every day!

H A I R

Olaplex Hair Perfector No. 3– Why I love this product: Olaplex is not a deep conditioner, rather it is a treatment to repair hair bonds from damage due to bleaching or heat damage. Hair repair?

Sign me up. I have thick curly hair, that I hardly ever wear curly, simply because I love the sleekness of straight hair so lots of heat damage.

I’ve gotten the Olaplex 1 and 2 treatment at the salon last year and fell in love with how smooth my hair could be!

The way I use it: I wash my hair with a small amount of shampoo since I usually have a lot of serums and product in my hair to keep it smooth. Then, I towel dry my hair and liberally apply the Olaplex throughout my hair, roots to ends. I then wrap it up with a hair clip and put on a shower cap. You can keep it on for a minimum of 10 mins but I like to keep it on for hours (it’s completely worth it) while I pitter patter about the house. Then wash it out and shampoo and condition as usual! It makes my hair silky smooth and reduces the frizziness!

Long review, I know, but you guys it is akin to a hair potion the Half-Blood Prince may have concocted!

Alterna Caviar Infinite Color Hold Shampoo– I was introduced to this brand when I received a sample pack from Sephora and fell in love with the line. I love that it provides anti aging benefits and UV protection, also Paraban and sulfate free, perfect for color treated hair!

F A C E

Blithe Tundra Chaga Pressed Serum: This is seriously an amazing moisturizer, it is technically a pressed serum but I use it as a moisturizer since the texture is creamy and light. It sinks into the skin, without making my skin greasy, tacky or that heavy occlusive feeling some creams can bring. Using it morning & night, the jar lasted me 4 months. This product claims to hydrate and prevent signs of aging. It’s one of my HGs now and I won’t be without it!

Blithe Energy Yellow Citrus & Honey Splash Mask: Another great Asian beauty find from Sephora. I am SO happy they are carrying some now! This is a great mask filled with lactic acid, which is an amazing exfoliant that really makes my skin radiant.

E Y E S

Ok. So I have a confession. I never used to wear mascara, unless I was going out to an event, since my eye lashes are already so long and my sister and I always get asked if they are real, it never occurred to me to accentuate them more. Ever since I started working, I traded in my eyeliner for mascara and have never looked back! ha!

Too Faced- Better Than Sex Mascara–  I love this mascara for everyday use as it curls and lengthens my lashes

Tarte- Lights, Camera, Flashes– This is also an everyday mascara that lengthens, curls and separates my lashes.

Make Up Forever- Smoky Extravagant– I have the waterproof version in this one and usually save it for when I’m going out or need more dramatic lashes, looks amazing paired with the two above

Eyeshadow palettes- I usually go very simple with eyeshadows, one swipe and I’m done. I love the Naked Palettes because they last forever and the colors are vibrant and pigmented. Current favs Naked and Naked 3 palettes!

L I P S

I’m always been a pink/mauve/berry lip girl, which are perfect colors for spring!

Clinique Chubby Stick in Curvy Candy– I’m a lippie junkie and you’ll never catch me without one of these floating around in bag for a quick touch up

Vice Liquid lipstick in Backtalk – I’m not usually a liquid lipstick girl since I can’t just swipe and go, however, the color is so pretty and stays on all day, the extra time is worth it! * pictured on me at the end

Dior Lip Addict in Coral Glow– I love the peachy tint and hydration it gives my lip, The coral color is my lip but better! – I even have a back up just in case I run out, ha!

B L U S H E R S

Nars is my go to for my daily blush in the shade Orgasm – provides a pink- peachy color with a slight shimmer. I also like to keep travel sizes in Orgasm and Goulou on hand.

Hourglass: Ambient blushes, I have quite a few of these beauties roaming around in my drawers love the glow the blushes impart- Current one pictured is Dim Infusion, I also love Ethereal Glow!

C O N C E A L E R

Nars Radiant Creamy Concealer in the shade Custard– I can’t rave enough about how creamy and long lasting this formula is. I usually just wear concealer these days and love how it provides even coverage.

O N T H E W A Y

This deal comes at a great time for me to repurchase my Blithe Tundra Chaga Pressed Serum, more of my Dior Addict Lip Glow in Coral Glow (I really am addicted), and Nars concealer in Custard (my go to concealer!)
Some new things I’m trying out!
 Nars liquid blush in Luster (I’ve been meaning to grab it for a while now)
Drunken Elephant C-Tango Eye Cream ( I received a sample of this some time ago & fell in love)
Glow Recipe Watermelon Sleeping Mask (I love a good AHA mask)
Laneige Water Sleeping Mask (I have had amazing results with their lip sleeping mask, hoping this mask lives up to its hype)
Glam Glow PoutMud in Kiss and Tell ( Can’t wait to try this!)
 

Happy Shopping Beauties!
