What to Buy
With so many makeup, skin care, hair care and beauty tools and just plain ole great beauty items launching each and every day, it is sometimes hard to know where to start when it comes to shopping. I am here to help.
I am sure that you have your eye on a few things... new products (fall is in!), sale items, some of your favorites... I always have a specific way when I shop one of these sales and it works out well for me.
I always start out by stocking up on my most regularly used items (think skincare, mascara, concealer, etc.), then I go into new launches. I like to stock up on the latest palettes or lipsticks for the season. Then I head to the sale sections, because why not! I also take stock of my beauty tools and see if I will be needed a new hairdryer, flat iron or any skin care device and stock up. It's also a great time to pick up more makeup brushes, beautyblenders and the like.
Without further adieu, here are the items that I am stocking up on during this years Sephora Beauty Insider Appreciation Event along with a few recommendations.
