We all know that navigating the world of skincare can be overwhelming. With a seemingly endless array of products and a constant influx of trends and recommendations, it’s easy to feel lost. That’s where I, a skincare aficionado for over 15 years, come in. Whether you’re a skincare enthusiast looking to up your game or someone who’s just beginning to explore the world of serums, moisturizers, and masks, my top picks are here to serve as your trusty companions.

If I can offer any sage advice, let it be this, wear your sunscreen. While I know we all love to be tan, the sun is terrible for our skin. So stay out of the sun as much as possible and wear your hats while outside. Below I’ve shared the best SPFs to try. Finally, I love to test out different products and some of my go-to brands are Innisfree, Sunday Riley, Suhlwhasoo, and Kiehl’s. For optimal results, apply these products to damp hair to enhance moisture and reduce frizz.

Favorite products you should add to your Skin Care routine:

• I’ve been loving this Innisfree Korean SPF. It has no scent, is affordable, and it’s super lightweight. The perfect SPF combo!
• The Sulwhasoo gentle cleanser is my new go-to cleanser for nighttime. It’s super foamy and you only need a little bit in order to have an effective clean.
• These Dr. Dennis Gross Peel Pads are a holy grail product and it’s easy to see why! I use this treatment only 2 nights a week so they last a long time. Make sure to not use this on the evenings you’re using retinol or any other active ingredient. I usually switch on and off.
• This DIEUX Instant Angel Skin Restoring Moisturizer is a great one for my ladies in their 30s-50s. It feels so luxurious!
• If you’re looking to get rid of hyperpigmentation then use this Caudalie Vinoperfect Serum. And if you plan on traveling to europe any time soon you can purchase it there for half the price so stock up!
• This Tower 28 Hypochlorous Spray is perfect for right after my workouts. As someone who suffers with acneic skin this is another holy grail product that I keep a travel size in my purse!
• And for my #1 skincare pick it’s always going to be the Supergoop SPF Brush. I swear by this product and use it daily!
• My go-to eye cream is Beauty by Joseon Revive Eye Serum. I love that you only need the smallest amount, and my under eyes have never been more hydrated
• Retinol should only be used sparingly in the beginning. If you’re just starting, I would recommend this Kiehl’s Microdose Retinol. But if you’re a pro, the Summer Friday’s Midnight Retinol is my favorite of all time.
• Love this Summer Fridays Lip Balm, I carry it with me everywhere and use it daily.

Achieving a Flawless Complexion

A flawless complexion is the foundation of any great makeup look, and the Sephora Sale has plenty of products to help you achieve it. Here are some of my top picks for achieving that coveted smooth and even skin tone:

• Skin tone: If you’re looking to even out your skin tone and achieve a radiant glow, the Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare Universal Daily Peel Pads are a game-changer. These pads are gentle enough for daily use and packed with a powerful combination of AHAs and BHAs to exfoliate and brighten your skin. They’re perfect for giving your complexion that extra boost of radiance.
• Sensitive skin: For those with sensitive skin, the Innisfree Green Tea Cream is incredible. This rich and creamy moisturizer is perfect for dry, sensitive skin and provides long-lasting hydration. A perfect makeup base always include hydrated skin and this cream will leave you feeling refreshed!
• Dry skin: If you struggle with dry skin, the Summer Fridays Moisturizing Cream is a must-have. This cream delivers intense hydration to parched skin, leaving it feeling refreshed and revitalized. It’s a hydration hero that will keep your skin looking plump and healthy.

Sephora Sale 2026: Makeup Picks

I’m here to be your beauty guide through the ever-evolving landscape of makeup. From foundations that seamlessly meld with your complexion to eyeshadows, I’ve scoured the world of makeup to bring you a carefully curated selection of my top picks. These are the products that have passed the tests of quality, longevity, and sheer beauty.

I tend to keep it simple when it comes to my makeup. But I’m always open to switching it up if you have any beauty favorites you can’t live without. Feel free to comment below. Here I’m sharing my makeup must-haves to shop this sale with favorites from Hourglass, Milk, Makeup by Mario, Charlotte Tilbury, and more:

Favorite products you should add to your Makeup routine:

• For my go-to foundation, I love the Dior Forever Skin Glow. This foundation is extremely buildable. When I have a long day it stays on quite nicely!
• Along with that, the Milk Primer is incredible. It is water based so will go perfectly with the Dior Foundation but not with the IT CC cream. It’s also a clean beauty product and goes on under the foundation so nicely.
• If you’re a fan of cream bronzer, I’ve been loving the Fenty Beauty Bronzing stick.
• This Rhode Cream Blush is a new favorite and is so pigmented so you only need the smallest amount.
• I’ve been using the Makeup by Mario palettes for about a year now and I do really love them. They have a couple of different color combos but my all-time favorite is the Nature Palette.
• This Sephora Collection Brush Set is on sale and they are offering 30% off all Sephora Collection products throughout the sale.
• I absolutely love this affordable mascara from Tower 28. It makes my lashes look 10x longer!
• My go-to lip color is the Charlotte Tilbury Pillow Talk with the matching lip liner, it’s simply perfection for all-year wear.
• On that note, I’ve recently been using the Charlotte Tilbury Cream Eyeshadow when I travel and want to pack light and ditch the palette. It’s a lovely color and it goes on super smooth!
• Love this beauty blender for a flawless foundation application. The trick is you have to get it wet!
• I’ve recently added this Hourglass Foundation Brush to my collection and love how smooth the application is.
• Finally, the Charlotte Tilbury Airbrush Setting spray is incredible and does not have any pore-clogging ingredients. It’s a great last step in your makeup routine.

Sephora Hair Favorites

The Sephora Sale is a great time to pick up pricey hair tools as well as hair products. I swear by the Bondi Thermal Brush to give you that 90’s voluminous hair. The best feature is the different settings for each hair type. It truly helps in overall hair health! Finally, some of my favorite brands for hair products are Davines, Briogeo, Oaui, and Gisou.

Favorite products you should add to your hair routine

• Bondi Boost Infrared Heated Round Brush is an investment but it’s so worth it! It adds a little volume to each blow out and it’s the perfect way to touch up those locks!
• Ever since I’ve been using Davines Hair Products, my hair has never felt healthier. The Oi Shampoo and Conditioner is best for all hair types. If you have frizzy hair (like myself) I love the Love Shampoo and Conditioner. All of their products are sourced in Italy with intention in mind. It’s an incredible company!
  • I also double-shampoo every time I wash my hair. The first wash cleanses the scalp and buildup, and the second wash truly cleans and nourishes the hair.
• This Davines All in One Milk is sprayed every single time I wash my hair. It really helps soften the locks so you don’t pull on your hair as much when brushing it.
• I use this clarifying scalp scrub once a week on top of my double shampooing.
• Before blow-drying my hair I love to use the Briogeo Farewell Frizz cream. It helps smooth out that frizz!
