a lovely living

Sephora’s spring sale opens to Insiders today (just an fyi, it’s free to sign up) giving everyone access to 10-20% off their purchase. Cosmetics rarely go on sale, so I always enjoy taking advantage of any discount I can get. Most of the items you’ll see me sharing below have been long-time favorites of mine. Three more recent favs, all of which I’d recommend especially during this quarantine, are the tanning drops, makeup eraser and lip balm.

I’ve becomes a huge fan of the tanning drops over the past few months. I blend them into my face and body lotions twice per week and in turn get a sun kissed look that I am in desperate need of. The makeup eraser is a little piece of magic. Once wet, it quickly removes every drop of makeup from your face (mascara included). It’s a dream, I promise. And this lip balm not only moisturizes but also gives your lips a custom pink that compliments you.

Becca Undereye Brightening Corrector: A long time favorite, this cream hides those genetic (or not genetic) dark undereyes like nothing else.

IT Buy Buy Undereye: My favorite full-coverage concealer.

Beauty Blender: Because they need refreshed every so often ;)

Moroccan Oil Styling Cream: I use a small pump of this on my wet hair just before blow drying. It’s for all hair types and helps to prevent frizz and also shape your ahir style.

Charlotte Tilbury cream shadow: This is a newer find and I love the way this cream shadow applies. It can be soft and subtle for everyday or easily bump it up for a more dramatic look. I have the shade ‘Jean’.

Gimme Brow: I have thin eyebrows that need all the help they can get. This brow gel applies easily and gives a very natural look, enhancing your brows.

NARS tinted moisturizer: It’s rare that I wear full foundation, but this tinted moisture is what I reach for nearly everyday that I apply makeup. Just enough coverage for an everyday look.

They’re Real mascara: Another longtime favorite, the wand on this mascara works wonders, grabbing and lengthening each and every lash.

Mineral Veil: I love using this powder to soften my makeup and hold everything in place.

IT CC cream: when I want more full-coverage than my tinted moisturizer, this is what I reach for and boy does it do the trick!

All Nighter: I’ll apply a few sprays of this on most days and it does a great job of keeping my makeup in place all day (or night) long. If you spend the time to apply your makeup, you may as well make it last!

Becca lipstick: A favorite lipstick of mine, it applies beautifully and they have some great color options. Orchid is my go-to.

Hoola bronzer: My go-to bronzer that gives me those touches of color exactly where I need them.
