Sephora Holiday Beauty and Skincare Haul

No Comments

The annual Sephora Holiday Savings Event, which wrapped last week, gave beauty lovers a chance to score up to 20% off their favourite makeup and skincare lines and get ahead on the gift-giving season. Some incredible holiday gift sets are excluded from the header image above (patience, friends & family!), but I had to take advantage of the savings to stock up on my fave products and try some highly buzzed-about brands, including Summer Fridays and The Inkey List.

My skin tends to get super needy (read: very dry) during the winter months, so I focused most of my budget on products that would give me a mega moisture boost, as well as new hair and lip care products — basically all the Zoom meeting essentials!

Scroll through my virtual Sephora beauty and skincare haul to see what I picked up!

Skincare and Face Masks

Origins Frothy Face Wash from Sephora

* Origins Checks and Balances Frothy Face Wash *

Sephora, $17-$32 (received free sample)

Key benefit: Easily rinses away makeup, impurities, and surface oils for skin that feels comfortably clean

Wishful Yo Glow exfoliating scrub from Sephora

* Wishful Yo Glow Facial Enzyme Scrub *

Sephora, $27-$51 (received free sample)

Key benefit: Gentle yet powerful exfoliator that is infused with pineapple and papaya enzymes, BHAs, and AHAs to leave skin with a healthy glow

First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Moisturizer from Sephora

* First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Face Moisturizer *

Sephora, $34

Key benefit: This has saved me more times than I count! It’s quite thick, so I recommend using it only overnight or sparingly on especially troubling skin areas

Tatcha The Water Cream moisturizer from Sephora

* Tatcha The Water Cream Oil-Free Pore Minimizing Moisturizer *

Sephora, $26-$89 (received free sample)

Key benefit: Oil-free, anti-aging water cream that releases a burst of skin-improving Japanese nutrients, powerful botanicals, and optimal hydration for poreless-looking skin

The Inkey List Q10 Antioxidant Serum from Sephora

* The Inkey List Q10 Antioxidant Serum *

Sephora, $8.99

Key benefit: Works to both protect and prevent accelerated signs of aging and environmental stress while hydrating the skin

Murad Vitamin C Eye Serum from Sephora

* Murad Vitamin C Dark Circle Correcting Eye Serum *

Sephora, $79 (received free sample)

Key benefit: Fights the look of dark circles while light-reflecting micro-minerals visibly brighten and de-puff

Summer Fridays Jet Lag Face Mask from Sephora

Key benefit: Rich hydration and a radiant complexion after just one application — and it’s the closest thing you’ll get to embracing the jetsetter life in the middle of a pandemic
