what should I buy?

[lovesephora0]

ok everyone!! I have a long list of what I want to get coming up at Sephora but is there any must haves I need to get or know about???

Drunk elephant bronzing drops might be out of stock but if you see it in a Sephora RUN and get it. I recommend that you pair it with a cream or serum (doesn’t have to be from drunk elephant).

Hi @lovesephora0 ! It’s hard to recommend must-haves without knowing what kinds of things you’re looking for, what your preferences are, etc. Something that’s a must-have for me could be completely useless for you, and vice versa. Example: one of my skincare must-haves is azelaic acid, which your skin might not need at all. I’m not a huge fan of lip oils (I’m a longtime lipstick addict but lip oils still seem kinda odd to me), so none of those are must-haves for me. 🤷‍♀️ My makeup routine could be very different from yours. 

Can you give us some info on your specific needs, wants, skin type/behavior, etc.? 

[lovesephora0]

yes, I guess I should definitely specify what I am looking for!! But first I am a combination skin and sensitive skin as well. I am looking for really anything that you would think is good for me because not sure exactly what I’m looking for!! but yea if there is any recommendations for sensitive combination skin that would be great!

@lovesephora0  Quick tip: remember to “@“ the person you reply to so they’ll get a notification. Otherwise they might never see your reply. 🙂 

A good way to figure out what kinds of things your skin needs is to decide what exactly you want skincare products to do for you. What are your skincare goals, or issues you want to address? 

Example: my main goals are reducing hyperpigmentation, avoiding bad reactions (my mostly-dry combo skin’s quite reactive/inflammation-prone), boosting hydration, and keeping my skin very well moisturized. Some people aim to reduce acne, control excessive oiliness, soften wrinkles/lines, even out very bumpy texture, etc. Or hey, maybe you have no skincare issues, so your goal is simply to maintain your current skin condition. Focusing on your particular skin’s needs will help you avoid spending money on random products you might not need at all. 

A good basic skincare routine is gentle cleanser (PM, optional AM), moisturizer (PM & AM), and broad spectrum sunscreen (AM). Anything you add on to that depends on your skincare goals/issues. Do you already have those 3 basic steps in place?

@lovesephora0 Is there something specific you’re looking for? What’s your skin type/tone? What’s your makeup style? For newer makeup releases, I would suggest the NATASHA DENONA I Need a Nude Eyeshadow Palette  , the Tower 28 Beauty Swipe All-Over Hydrating Serum Concealer ., MAKEUP BY MARIO Soft Pop Plumping Cream Blush Veil Rose Crush  . For body, I really like the PHLUR Missing Person Body Lotion 16 oz / 473 mL  and the Sol de Janeiro Brazilian Play Moisturizing Shower Cream-Gel . For fragrance, BURBERRY Burberry Goddess Eau de Parfum with Vanilla & Lavender  , DedCool 01 "Taunt" Eau de Parfum Travel Spray 0.5 oz / 15 ml eau de parfum spray  . There’s also a bunch of sets out that are really cool like the Saie Mini Dew Blush Trio Set , the MAKEUP BY MARIO Mini MoistureGlow™ On The Go Plumping Lip Serum Duo Nude Glow & Bronze Glow , Sephora Favorites Holiday Sparkly Clean Beauty Kit .
