Sephora 20% Off Sale Picks

Sephora The Gift For All 2023 Sale Event Picks

Surprise shawty! Sephora is currently running their “The Gifts for All” sale event, where Beauty Insiders (Sephora’s rewards program that is free to join) can get 20% off their purchase. Sephora collection products are 30% off. The sale runs in stores and online until Sunday, Dec 10th, code: YAYGIFTING. From what I read, the sale coupon is a one-time use deal, so plan your purchases wisely!

Here are some of my sale picks in makeup, gift sets, and fragrances:

Sephora 20% OFF Sale Makeup Picks:

Foundation

I have oily skin, and I prefer foundations with a matte finish. My all-time favorite foundation is the NARS Soft Matte Complete Foundation (Shade: Marquises. Macao looks fine in daylight, but the undertone is off on me in flash photos). Lately, I’ve been mixing it with the Pat McGrath Sublime Perfection Foundation (Shade Deep 29), which creates a glowy yet natural finish that photographs beautifully.

The Fenty Beauty Pro Filt’R Foundation (Shade 390) is another great go-to. I also like the Danessa Myricks Yummy Skin Blurring Balm Powder (Shade 8.5) for quick makeup days. Check out my tutorial using it below.

Danessa Myricks Yummy Skin Blurring Balm Powder Review

@flyfiercefab The @DanessaMyricksBeauty yummy skin blurring balm is the only cream “foundation” (it’s cream/balm to powder product) that’s ever worked well with my oily skin ???. I’m wearing it in the shade 8.5, and I love it for my quick makeup days. #makeup #blackgirlmakeup #danessamyricksyummyskin #danessamyricks #blurringbalmpowder #everydaymakeup #makeuptutorial ♬ Lovin On Me – Jack Harlow

Concealers

I love a good full-coverage concealer. My tried and true boo is the Too Faced Multi-Use Sculpting Concealer (Shades Butterscotch and Cookie for the extra highlighted effect). It’s one of the most full coverage concealers I’ve ever tried.

I also recently tried the Hourglass Vanish Concealer, and I see what the hype is about! It’s also full coverage and gives a great blurred finish. I just wish they had more shades. Flax works well for me as an extra highlighted shade, and I also tried Teak but that’s a bit too close to my skintone for the effect I’m going for.

Lip Products

I love a good opaque lipstick and a glossy gloss. Huda Beauty lipsticks are some of my favorites, specifically the shades Staycation and Rajah.

When it comes to glosses, I love Fenty Beauty, Hourglass Cosmetics (Shade: Child), Patrick Ta (Shade: Superficial), and the Makeup by Mario Plumping Lip Serum (Shade: Cinnamon Glow).

Sephora Collection Picks (30% Off!)

During the last sale I picked up some of the waterproof eyeliner and shadow sticks from the Sephora collection, and they’re SO GOOD. I’ve been using the shade Stone Matte to line my waterline and give my eyes a more open appearance.

Sephora Gift Set Picks:

Sales at Sephora are a great time to pick up gift sets for yourself or others. I especially love the fragrance gift sets that come with samples of different perfumes and a voucher that can redeemed for a full-sized bottle of one of them.

Sephora Fragrance Picks:

Sweet gourmands are my favorite kind of perfume. Some of my top picks are Vanilla (a true vanilla) and Musk (a sweet musk blend) by Kayali. I also love Devotion by Dolce and Gabanna (Sweet with hints of citrus), Love Don’t Be Shy by Killian.
