Sephora VIB Spring Sale Recommendations

It’s that time again! Sephora’s Spring VIB Sale is just around the corner (details below), so I’m rounding up some more favorites in case you’re looking for some new things to try. As always, though, there shouldn’t be any pressure to shop just because there’s a sale. Often these brands will have better sales on their own websites, especially if you’re not a VIB Rouge. If you’re looking to get products from a lot of different brands Sephora carries and/or you’re a VIB Rouge member, I think that’s your best bet to save a decent amount of money in the sale. I’ll link my last Sephora Sale Recommendations post here , because many of the products mentioned in that post are still my favorites, and I’d still recommend all of them. If I repeat any of them here that means they’re pretty much *holy grail* status for me at this point. But check that post for even more suggestions!

Fragrance Maison Louis Marie Antridis Cassis Perfume Oil - I’ll start with two fragrances, since it seems like everyone is going a bit fragrance-crazy right now. I picked this up on a whim with an early birthday giftcard last month, and I’ve been wearing it nonstop. It smells exactly like the Diptyque Baies candle, which is one of my favorite scents, and I always wished Diptyque would make it into a perfume. If the fresh blackberry and rose scent is not for you, I’d recommend any of these perfume oils that have notes you usually like - the bottle is teeny tiny, but a little goes a very long way. The fragrance lasts all day on me, and I can even smell it on my clothes days later, but because it’s an oil, the scent stays close to the skin. Those are my favorite kinds of scents - when only people you let get close to you can smell them. Atelier Cologne Vanille Insensee Pure Perfume - I mentioned this at the end of my last Sephora post, saying I had this in my cart for the fall sale, and I did end up buying it. It’s become one of my favorite fragrances, which was surprising because I usually only wear perfumes with rose in them. This is a warm, spicy vanilla scent that isn’t overly sweet and turns more woody and musky as it settles into your skin. It was my favorite to wear in the colder months, but I can see this kind of scent working in the spring and summer, too. Makeup Face MERIT The Minimalist Foundation & Concealer Stick - I was all over MERIT when they launched at Sephora a couple months ago. Their effortless, “on-the-go” products just spoke to me! I think my favorite of the products I’ve tried so far has been the Foundation & Concealer Stick. I have the shade Silk, which is a great match for my face. It’s so easy to throw on and blend out with my fingers, so it’s always what I reach for when I’m in a rush. It looks really skinlike and is neither too matte nor too dewy, so it works really well to just even out a few areas while blending into the rest of your skin. Saie Glowy Super Gel - This has been one of my favorites for a while, and now Saie is at Sephora! My favorite product from the lineup is the Glowy Super Gel. It’s one of those hybrid products that can be used all-over before makeup, mixed into foundation, or applied on top of makeup as a highlighter. My favorite way to use it is as a highlighter, or to mix into liquid/cream blushes to make them extra glowy. It’s a lightweight lotion texture that doesn’t feel heavy on the skin. It gives the prettiest natural glow, rather than leaving lots of shimmer behind. Danessa Myricks Vision Flush Cheek, Eye, & Lip Color - This is another exciting brand to recently launch at Sephora! I’ve been trying out different Danessa Myricks products since last summer, and I’m so happy I can get some of the line at Sephora now. I love the Vision Flush as a blush. I have the shade Bread n’ Butter, which is the most perfect warm pink. A little goes a very long way, so the tube will last forever. It blends out like a dream and stays put. It has a satin finish, which I love - it has some luminosity in the light, but it doesn’t slide around or feel tacky. bareMinerals Gen Nude Blonzer - In the spring and summer I’m all about a sunkissed/sunburned blush look, so let me tell you I RAN to the bareMinerals website as soon as these launched. I have the shade ‘Kiss of Pink,’ which I believe is the shade named ‘Light’ on Sephora’s website. It’s probably one of the prettiest blushes I have. It’s the most perfect warm pink - it makes me look sunkissed without veering into orange territory. There isn’t shimmer per se, but it does have a lovely glow to it once applied. The formula is soft and blendable, and it’s so easy to build up to your desired level of pigmentation - sometimes I want just a touch of warmth, and other times I really pile it on to look like I’ve spent the day in the sun. NARS Air Matte Cream Blush - I’ve seen some mixed reviews on these lately, but I’ve been wearing mine nonstop. It has a silicone-y, putty-like feel that goes on quite sheer, but builds and blends well. I pat it on with my fingers, but it does seem like the kind of formula that might move foundation around underneath it when applied with a brush. I still love it for how easy it is to apply with fingers and how seamlessly it blends into my skin. I have the shade Freedom, which is a mauve-y pink color. Eyes bareMinerals Strength & Length Serum-Infused Mascara - I’m always on the hunt for new mascaras to try (even though I really, really love the ILIA Mascara ), and I’ve recently fallen for this one by bareMinerals. It has an interesting paddle-shaped wand that pushes and combs product through the lashes. It’s my favorite for everyday - it’s very lengthening and defining and looks quite natural. It lasts all day on me without smudging or flaking. I like that it feels soft and weightless on my lashes and is supposedly nourishing them - some mascaras feel so dry and crispy that it feels like my eyelashes will snap off, but this doesn’t feel like that at all. Tartelette Juicy Amazonian Clay Eyeshadow Palette - If you follow me on Instagram, I’m sure you’re sick of hearing me go on and on about how excited I am to be able to wear eyeshadow again. So I’ve got lots of new eyeshadow favorites to share. I just got this new palette from Tarte last weekend as a birthday present, and I’m already so in love with it. I loved their other Amazonian Clay Eyeshadow Palettes back in the day, so I knew I’d reach for this one a lot. The color story is perfect to me - I love wearing pink and peach shades on my eyes, especially in the spring and summer. The shadows are soft and blendable and wear well all day without fading (I do use an eye primer, though). If you get one thing in the sale and this color story speaks to you, then get this! Danessa Myricks Colorfix Eye, Cheek, & Lip Cream Pigments - I’ve been getting so much use out of these lately because my favorite way to wear them is as eyeshadows. They’re a gel consistency that apply and blend beautifully, and once they set they do not budge. These work really well on my oily, prone to creasing eyelids. There are so many shades in a bunch of different finishes. My favorites lately are the Metallics in Celebration (a perfect everyday bronze) and Romance (a mauve-y pink I’m wearing in this photo ), and the Milky Way one is such a stunning foiled shade if you’re looking for something ultra eye-catching. Natasha Denona Glam Eyeshadow Palette - I mentioned this in my last Sephora post, but now that I’ve gotten more use out of it I wanted to come back and tell you again yes, this is worth buying. I love wearing cool tones and so I was psyched about this color story when this launched. I like that it’s cool-toned, but it’s doesn’t really lean too purple or too gray. It’s perfect, and the formula is stunning, as you would expect from Natasha Denona. Lips Kaja Gloss Shot Hydrating Lip Gloss - I’ve been going a bit balmy/glossy lip-crazy lately, even though it doesn’t really lend itself well to wearing under a mask. Anyway, my favorite of any mentioned here has been the Kaja Gloss Shot. They have a thicker formula that really adheres to the lips and stays put without migrating outside the lip line. They’re not sticky, like it doesn’t feel un
