Hi All!
Today is a very exciting day because it’s the beginning of the Sephora VIB Event for VIBs & Insiders! VIBs receive 15% off and Insiders receive 10% off starting today through Monday, 5/6.
I’ve put together a list of my Top 10 Wants from this sale and a couple of them are products that I currently use and love!
$38.00
I’m almost out of my current blush which is the quintessential cult favorite, Nars Orgasm. I was looking through reviews of several blushes and I really love the mix of colors in this Kevyn Aucoin one. I also really like that you can either combine all colors for blush or use separately!
2. Sephora Favorites Eye Candy Value Set
$39.00
I just blogged about this set last Friday in my most recent Friday Finds post and luckily, it’s still in stock!
I’ve found the Sephora Favorites value sets over the years to sometimes be hit or miss, but I think this one is a definite hit! This set features 9 different products, including 2 full-size items. If you wear eyeliner nearly everyday like me, then I think this is a worthwhile purchase!
3. Moroccanoil Dry Shampoo for Dark Tones
$26.00
This (so far) is my all-time favorite dry shampoo and I’ve tried quite a few! Dry shampoo is difficult to blend when you have hair as dark as mine, but this dark tone formula helps since it already comes out of the bottle darker than most regular dry shampoos. I find that it blends easily and works very well. This one is pricey, but it’s worth it.
4. Sephora Favorites Sun Safety Kit
$39.00
I used to always order this kit each year because it was just fun to try out different sunscreens. I haven’t ordered it the past few years, but I’m tempted to try out this year’s version and the makeup bag is super cute!
$20.00
This is the mini size for this product which is why it’s only $20! I want to try it because I need something new to help get rid of my cellulite before short season – which is rapidly approaching! The reviews are really good and everyone says it smells amazing!
6. Drybar Super Straight Bundle
$299.00
Ok, this is DEFINITELY a wish list item! Although, my blow dryer is on the fritz and currently only works on one setting!
This bundle features a hair dryer, straightener, & 6 different hair products! The hair dryer alone costs $200, so this package seems like a great deal!
7. Too Faced Born This Way Multi-Use Concealer
$29.00
I use this product everyday!
I follow a few beauty bloggers and one was always using this concealer. I ordered two different colors in the hopes of using one as a highlighter and one for contouring. When I got them in the mail, the lighter one wasn’t really light enough for me to use as a highlighter, but it really matched my skin tone and I just started using it all over my face. So basically, it became my new foundation!
I’m definitely going through it fast, but I really love this product. I like the coverage and find it pretty easy to blend using my Beauty Blender sponge. The coverage lasts all day and the actual Born This Way Foundation doesn’t have great reviews from oily skin users (like myself), so I may be sticking with the concealer as a foundation!
8. Trestique Magic Mattifying Balm & Blotting Sheet Duo
$28.00
Speaking of oily skin, I’ve been carrying around these Clean & Clear oil absorbing sheets in my bag pretty much since I started carrying a purse in high school! I’ve tried a few higher end brands over the years, but always end up going back to the basic sheets.
I stumbled upon this product and I really like that it’s a duo of a mattifying stick and blotting sheets! It looks so handy and sleek, which is perfect for those of us that have to carry oil absorbing sheets around everywhere!
9. Supergoop! Unseen Sunscreen SPF 40
$32.00
For the past few summers, the sunscreen that I use on my face has been Shiseido Ultimate Sunscreen. I like it and think it works very well, but there is one thing that I don’t like about it. It seems that no matter how hard I try to blend it in, my face still has streaks of white on it. 🙁 It makes me look pale and if there is one thing I hate, it’s looking pale!
Recently, I received a deluxe sample of this Supergoop sunscreen and I love how the product itself is clear and therefore leaves no white residue on my face! I can’t speak for how well it does to protect from the sun since it isn’t exactly beach weather out here, but I am planning on purchasing during this sale because I have had zero issues with residue or breakouts since trying the sample!
10. Pat McGrath FetishEyes Mascara
$28.00
Typically during these sales I always order my all-time favorite mascara, Diorshow. However, I am always up for trying something new and in the most recent issue of Oprah magazine, this mascara won in the Beauty O-Wards. It’s supposedly the best in length, lift, & volume so we’ll see! I’ve already got it in my shopping cart 😉
So that’s it! Those are my Top 10 Wants from this sale! Are you shopping the event?! Let me know in the comments!

Loved your tip about using concealer as foundation! I recently bought G. Armani’s foundation – great texture but it was a little too dark. After reading your post, I mixed a lighter Nars concealer with it and Ta Dah! It’s perfect! Thanks for the suggestion!!
That’s great! So happy to hear I helped make the Armani foundation work for you! 🙂 Thanks for commenting!
