The Beauty Insider Program is free, and you move up the ranks as you spend more. Yes, I’m Rouge. Basically for life at this point. You can sign up for the Beauty Insider Program! When deciding what to purchase from the Sephora Beauty Insider Spring Bonus Event I look for two types of items: staple products that I need to stock up on and new things I want to try. Let’s be honest, the list of new things that I want to try is about a mile long, so I usually go for brands that I’m familiar with or a Sephora value set with lots of products to try out. I prepare my cart for this event for a few weeks, I am really good at adding items to my cart! Here’s a look at some of my staples and products that I tried (and loved) recently. All of these are sitting in my cart to repurchase! Perfect Skin Splurges The Bonus Events are the best time to splurge on big ticket items. These 2 products are a tad on the pricy side, but the glowy skin is so worth it! • Fresh Rose Deep Hydration Moisturizer is just what my skin needs this spring. My skin is dry from the end of winter and all of the wind in my area recently, but I don’t want to use a heavy cream. This moisturizer has a time release hyaluronic acid, which holds 1000x its weight in water without feeling occlusive or heavy on your skin. It packs a super hydrating punch that lasts all day and is perfect under makeup. • Tatcha The Silk Canvas Protective Primer is a little different from other primers that I have used. It can be used all over to primer your eyes, face and even your lips. There’s a small disc that you run over the top of the product, it helps you pick up just the right amount for application. Pro tip: that amount is much smaller than you think. I wait a few minutes before applying my makeup, which glides on very easily and blends to look flawless all day. Please note the 3 item limit for this promotion My Favorite Lip Balm I hate having chapped lips. They’re uncomfortable and I hate any sign of flaking. • I keep a jar of Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask on my nightstand so I can use it right before I go to sleep every night. It is the best product I’ve found to keep my lips soft and hydrated, even in the middle of a cold Michigan winter. It has a light sweet taste, and it doesn’t feel sticky at all. My girls (4 and 8) are obsessed too, they may have gotten their own jars in their stockings for Christmas! • Laneige’s Lip Glowy Balm is basically a portable version of the Lip Sleeping Mask. Because, let’s face it, as much as I love that product I don’t want to be putting my fingers in lip balm all day long. I prefer applying from a wand or tube like this! The Lip Glowy Balm is also hydrating and doesn’t feel sticky, but it is a bit shinier and has a bit of tint. I love the Berry, which has a great pink-peach tone. I have the Grapefruit in my cart now. Get Glowy Super Fast As much as I love a good face mask, I don’t have time to wait 10-15 minutes to get glowy skin. I’ll be repurchasing two of my favorite speedy masks, they take only a few minutes but the results are amazing. I even take them with me when I’m on call at work, sometimes a fast pick me up in the call room makes spending the night in the hospital much easier. • Dr. Brandt Radiance Resurfacing Foam takes about a minute to gently exfoliate your skin, it doesn’t irritate my sensitive skin at all. It feels a bit fizzy on my skin, which I love. Afterwards I definitely am glowier and it helps keep my pores clear. • REN Evercalm Ultra Comforting Rescue Mask is exactly what my sensitive, Rosacea skin needs when I’ve been in the hospital for a while. I get dry and irritated, and this cream feels amazing! You apply a generous layer to your skin and let it sink in for 10 to 15 minutes. You can wipe off the excess, but leave the rest on your skin. I sometimes apply it just as my nightly moisturizer. It doesn’t feel heavy at all and I think it does prevent my Rosacea from flaring. My Go-To Shampoo and Conditioner I’ve mentioned this Kérastase shampoo and conditioner duo before, you can check out my full review. My hair is dry and damaged, primarily because I can not help myself and love to heat style my hair. I […]
