PSA: The Sephora Sale is Back—Here’s What Our Editors Have in Their Carts

Saie’s new SuperSuede Talc-Free Blush has quickly solidified itself as my favorite blush of the year. Despite being a powder formula, its ingredients help to hydrate and moisturize the skin while providing the cheeks with a flush that’s glowy, but not sparkly.

This mascara volumizes, lengthens, and defines my lashes, all while remaining natural enough to wear every day. I personally always keep the brown shade in my makeup bag to reach for on more minimal makeup days.

No matter what I do, it’s hard for my skin to maintain the healthy glow I fantasize about—I blame Chicago winters!—but it’s finally met its match with Saie’s Glowy Super Gel. Lately, I can’t get enough of the shade ‘Warmglow,’ which leaves me with a dewy base that keeps me looking hydrated all day long.

I always envied the smooth, blurred complexions my friends with normal and oily skin types could get with  a little pressed powder, but thought it wasn’t in the cards for me and my perpetual dryness. But Hourglass’s Vanish Airbrush Pressed Powder somehow does exactly that, without making me too matte or emphasizing dry patches.

Phlur’s newest addition to their line of cult-favorite fragrances, Rose Whip, quite literally made me gasp when I first smelled it. With notes of deep amber, cashmere wood, and sensual musk, its warm, floral scent is sexy and so addicting, you’ll be fielding “What perfume are you wearing?” questions every time you wear it.

When I thought that Haus Labs had discontinued the Power Sculpt Velvet Bronzer, I started to ration mine out of fear I’d one day run out and have to forego the perfect, buttery smooth bronze I’d gotten used to it giving me. Thankfully, Gaga has come through and re-released it, so I’m using my Rogue discount to pick up my summer shade, ‘Terra Sol.’

Remember the compact face palettes that housed a full face of blush, bronzer, and eye shadow? This palette is that, all grown up. It features 10 velvety pomades and powders that are made for all-over face use to define the eyes, cheeks, and lips.

Ilia’s new Eye Stylus Shadow Stick’s weightless, creamy formula is easy to use and lasts all day without creasing or moving. Available in both mattes and shimmers, it’s the foolproof, one-and-done shadow that I’m planning on relying on for minimal summer glam.

Rare Beauty never misses, but they really hit it out of the park with their new Soft Pinch Liquid Contour. Its easy-to-blend formula leaves behind natural-looking shadows that keep me looking sculpted until I take my makeup off at night.

If I had to estimate the number of bottles of this tanning water I’ve gone through in my life, my guess would be upwards of 20. It’s the best face self-tan I’ve ever used, and has become a true can’t-live-without part of my routine. A couple of spritzes before bed makes me wake up with a subtle *kiss* of tan that makes me look healthy and alive, but never orange.

As we now know, I have dry skin that goes instantly dull if I use the wrong powder, but I don’t have that problem with Kosas’s Cloud Set Blurring Powder. I opted for the light-pink shade, which subtly brightens up my complexion while blurring my pores and giving my skin a filter-like effect.

Glossier’s Cloud Paint is a makeup classic, but it took the release of their new ‘Black Cherry’ version to get me to start reaching for it again. Regardless of if I put it over makeup or straight onto bare skin, the burgundy shade gives me the perfect, natural flush that I can’t stop reaching for. I already know it’s going to be my go-to in the summer months for faking a hint of a sunburn.

Of the 30+ complexion products I have in my vanity, Pat McGrath’s Sublime Perfection Foundation is the one I find myself reaching for whenever I know I need my makeup to look really good. Thanks to its long-wearing, lightweight formula, you can completely customize the coverage, so I can build it up or keep it sheer depending on what my skin needs that day. It’s speculated that this is the foundation Taylor Swift wore on the Eras Tour—if it can survive a rain show and still look flawless, you know you can trust it.

If you’ve yet to try the Patrick Ta Major Headlines Double-Take Crème & Powder Blush Duo yet, consider this your sign. The compact features both a powder and cream formula, so you can customize your blush look to your heart’s desire. Apply it Patrick’s way by applying the powder first, then layering cream on top for a long-lasting, dewy flush.

This lip gloss-oil hybrid combines the smooth feel of a lip oil, the high-shine of a sheer gloss, and the hydration of a balm. I usually lose my lip products to the bottom of my bags before I finish them, but I somehow always know exactly where my Saie glosses are—and they get used up to the very last drop.

I was 16 the first time a drop of bleach touched my hair, and since then, I’ve been using every repairing hair product I can get my hands on it hopes it’ll keep my lightened strands happy. K18’s Molecular Repair Hair Mask is a non-negotiable in my routine—against all odds, it helps to actually repair the damage my quarterly color appointments cause.

Penciling in my hair wash days between my workouts used to require its own portion of my planner, but K18’s AirWash Dry Shampoo allows me to go further between washes without sacrificing how my hair looks or feels. The non-aerosol formula cleans the hair and removes any odors—minus the telltale white cast and product build up dry shampoos usually leave behind.

I recently added this leave-in conditioner to my routine in hopes it would smooth my frizzier-than-usual locks, and it immediately exceeded my expectations. Not only does it smooth my hair without weighing it down, but it also protects against heat and leaves behind a glossy shine that lasts until my next wash day.

Dieux’s Instant Angel is full of peptides and ceramides that support the skin’s barrier while intensely moisturizing the skin for a non-greasy, plumped-up glow. It’s been such a game-changer for my dry skin that I’ve gotten my mom and sister hooked on it, too.

I have a sensitive scalp, and this is the only product that’s made a noticeable difference in keeping the itchiness away. I use it every single wash day and wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone dealing with scalp issues. To make it last longer, I focus on scrubbing my scalp with this and use my regular shampoo for the rest of my hair. This is one of my desert-island products—I genuinely can’t live without it, so I always make sure to stock up during the Sephora sale.

With a subtle floral fragrance that keeps you feeling fresh from morning ’til night, this, this deodorant is the ultimate daily indulgence.

This heat-activated spray is your ultimate weapon against frizz. Not only will it make your blowouts last longer, but it’ll make them look shinier and healthier, too.

I know it’s a splurge, but if you’ve been eyeing the Dyson Airwrap, now is the time to go for it. Before I got mine, I had a whole elaborate routine to get my hair looking the way I wanted—but now? I can take my very long, thick hair from soaking wet to perfectly styled in under 30 minutes. I’ve pretty much ditched every other hot tool I own, and my hair has never been healthier. My blowouts also last until my next wash, and honestly, this tool has given me my time (and sanity) back.

I have wavy hair and live in a very hot climate, so at any moment, I’m one water droplet away from full-on Monica Geller vacation hair. I’ve tried every anti-frizz product under the sun, so when I recommend one, it’s with my whole chest. This oil has helped me fight frizz even in the most intense humidity. I warm a bit in my hands and apply it to wet and/or dry hair, focusing from mid-lengths to ends. Bonus: The scent always earns me compliments.

It’s criminal to start leg-shaving season without a big tub of Bum Bum cream to slather your body in. The formula dries down quickly, and unlike other lotions, won’t leave your limbs greasy.

This is a non-stripping cleanser that gently removes daily buildup while replenishing moisture for softer, more luminous skin. It’s gentle enough for my sensitive, often dry skin, yet still leaves it feeling clean, refreshed, and incredibly soft.

NuFace’s Facial Toning Device is clinically proven to sculpt, firm, and contour your cheeks and neck so drastically that you have to see it to believe it. (We highly recommend a search on TikTok!). It rarely goes on sale, so now is the time to snag it.

This hydrating moisturizer from iNNBeauty Project is clinically proven to visibly firm and lift the skin, all while restoring its barrier. Best for dry and combination skin, it’s set to make dull, lifeless complexions a thing of the past.

This makeup artist–loved highlighter palette isn’t just gorgeous—it’s incredibly versatile. The shades work beautifully as highlighter, eyeshadow, and even blush, giving skin a radiant, lit-from-within glow.

If you spent a day in our office, the odds of you hearing one of our editors praise the Dr. Dennis Gross Universal Peel Pads are 100%. The two-step, individually packaged pads combine AHAs and BHAs to smooth texture and reduce fine lines.

I have extremely sensitive lips, and most popular lip balms irritate my lips—I’m talking blisters, swelling, the works. The Ole Henriksen Peptide Lip Treatment is a godsend. It’s safe for my lips, nourishing, and leaves behind the perfect tinted finish.

I resisted purchasing this setting spray for ages because of the hefty price tag, but a wedding last fall finally made me take the plunge on a travel-size version. My makeup did not budge for that entire day, and as soon as that travel size ran out, I bought the jumbo version. Safe to say I’ll never use another setting spray again—I’m totally hooked.

Salon-level blowouts are possible at home with the help of Dyson’s Supersonic Nural™ Hair Dryer. The dryer’s new Nural™ sensors learn and remember your styling routine and automatically adjust to your go-to heat settings as you style. The result? Record-speed drying with minimal heat damage.

If your hair is lacking moisture, incorporating a hair mask is the best (and easiest!) way to add shine and hydration to your strands. Amika’s Nourishing Hair Mask is a stellar option for all hair types, and is full of hydrating ingredients for healthier, softer hair.

Whether you’re a blush aficionados or are new to the cream blush scene, Saie’s Dew Blush won’t dissapoint. Its pigmented formula is incredibly easy to blend, and gives a healthy, long-lasting wash of color that’s in a league of its own.

Finding your perfect lip product is a satisfaction like no other, and I’ve been in a committed partnership with the Tower 28 Lip Jelly in ‘Pistachio’ for years. I’m on my third tube now, and it somehow still manages to impress me every time. It’s a great “your lips but better” shade, and as someone whose personal hell is my hair sticking to my lip gloss, I love that it’s hydrating, but never sticky.

Wearing sunscreen is one of those things I always knew I should do every day, but in practice, I often skipped because I hated the way it felt on my face—especially under makeup. But ever since I tried Supergoop Glowscreen, it’s become an absolute staple in my routine. It adds a stunning glow with or without makeup, and I simply can’t go without it.

This dry shampoo is amazing for a hair refresh, and gives my roots a lift instead of weighing them down with heavy product. While I thought the price was steep, I’ve found that it lasts much longer than my other dry shampoos, and I’ve become completely hooked.

Instead of doing complex eye makeup, I’ve shifted toward using a subtle wash of Urban Decay’s ‘Space Cowboy’ on my lids. It’s the perfect neutral with just the right amount of sparkle for a pop of fun that’s still wearable. I apply it with my finger, and find I can make it as subtle or bold as I choose.

Though I welcome the warmer weather, the seasons of wearing as little face makeup as possible are here, especially as someone who lives in Dallas. I love that this radiance-boosting sunscreen also doubles as a base for makeup. I throw on a little concealer and blush over this and am ready to go.

With over 100 red LED lights and 62 blue LED lights, this mask targets wrinkles and blemishes for visibly smoother, clearer skin. It was also designed to conform to all contours of the face, meaning throwing it on during your nightly scroll is totally comfortable.

Skin in need of a pick me up? This serum restores the skin’s barrier and incorporates peptides, kale, and niacinamide to even the skin tone and deliver deep hydration.

These pads exfoliate dull skin to unveil a radiant, naturally glowing complexion. With regular use, these pads help to diminish the appearance of pores and texture while remaining safe for sensitive skin.

It’s rare that you can say a hair product actually reverses damage, but K18’s Molecular Hair Mask does—and in under four minutes. This product strengthens hair’s bonds and smooths frizz for all-around healthier locks.

Merit is our editors’ go-to for no-makeup makeup looks. While you truly can’t go wrong with any of their products, the complexion stick is the product our editors buy time and time again.

This is the eyeshadow to end all eyeshadows. With a foolproof cream formula, it can be blended onto the lids with fingers or a brush for an everyday eye look that requires zero effort.
