Kate Somerville Exfolikate Intensive Exfoliating Treatment Archives

Happy Tuesday everyone! Hoping you all had a great Easter weekend. 🙂

The Sephora Spring sale starts today for VIB Rouge members, tomorrow for VIB members and on Thursday April 20 for BI members. Is it just me or did this sale seem like it took forever to be announced?

Here’s a quick rundown of my shopping list.

YSL Volupte Tint-in-Balm

I have yet to own a YSL Volupte shade and what better time to try one? A hybrid lipstick that combines nourishing balm sounds perfect for spring/summer. Plus the center design is so cute.

Kate Somerville Exfolikate Intensive Exfoliating Treatment

One of my all time favorite exfoliators that I keep coming back to. You can read more about it here.

P.S. I like to get the travel size version of this one.

Tatcha Bestsellers Set

I got a sample of the Tatcha Indigo Soothing Triple Recovery cream and really liked it. Fellow esthetician friends love the Camellia Cleansing Oil and this set contains the most popular choices. If there was only one item to get at the sale, it’s this.

Huda Beauty Liquid Matte Lipstick

I swatched the shade Bombshell in store and it took a lot of self-control to not purchase it right then and there. The pinkish nude hue is insanely gorgeous and I might just snag the shade Iconic too.

Drunk Elephant rise + glow

Another skincare brand that gets rave reviews is Drunk Elephant. This set contains a vitamin C serum and intensive hydration gel -both essential items in virtually any skincare routine.

Jo Malone Wood Sage and Sea Salt Cologne

If you haven’t heard the great news already, Sephora now carries Jo Malone! Wood Sage and Sea Salt is my holy grail scent (which I’m running low on) and while this fragrance it worth every penny- er dollar- it doesn’t hurt that I can get a discount.

Benefit Cosmetics Roller Lash Curling and Lifting Mascara

While I’ve been loving how the Blinc mascara doesn’t really irritate my eyes, that mascara doesn’t provide my lashes the curl and length I sometimes want. I purchased this mascara during a previous Sephora haul and it looks like I’ll be picking it up again.

Benefit Cosmetics Cheek Parade

Heaven knows I do not need anymore blushes or bronzers but this set is just so enticing. I already own Hoola which I love, but with the inclusion of the GALifornia blush and Dandelion, I might just cave and buy this.

Of course, my wishlist might change a little bit once I’m actually in the store but I’ll try my best to stay within these items.

I’d love to hear from you! What items are you getting?

Welcome back to part II of my Best of Beauty 2015 segment where I’ll be covering skincare and hair products I’ve enjoyed throughout the year. Let’s get to it. 🙂
