My 3 buzziest must-buys during Sephora's sale
A foundation you must buy, a cover for redness, and the best brushes.
Geezers,
It’s Sephora sale season once again (been waiting for you since the holidays, girl!), and I hope you’ve made your list and checked it twice. While shopping is not a cure for the grief of engaging in global and national news, you still may need some stuff, and that’s where I come in.
As a reminder, here are the dates of the sale:
Let’s start with this product from the Sephora brand (which happens to be 30% off!). If you need new brushes, or just want GOOD brushes, this is the set. Each brush is handpicked from Sephora’s best-selling Essential Brushes lineup, and makeup girlies and influencers alike have been recommending Sephora brush sets forever, and there’s a reason — they are legitimately very good, and about half the cost of other brush sets from flashier brands that are exactly the same.
Set Includes:
Foundation Brush (01)
Concealer Brush (02)
Powder Brush (03)
Cheek Brush (04)
Eyeshadow Brush (08)
Crease Brush (09)
Smudge Brush (10)
Brow Brush (12)
The next rec would have to be the foundation that replaced the foundation I have been using for a DECADE. Sorry itCosmetics CC cream, but Dior Backstage Face and Body Foundation is THAT GIRL for me. You know who taught me about Dior foundation? Nora’s 18-year-old daughter. To which I said, “you have the skin of a baby’s ass. You do not need $43 foundation. Go to CVS, get a shade 2 tones darker than your skin, and have the high school makeup wearing experience of your elders.”
She’s right though, this shit is so good. Especially on top of a primer. Do not miss out on this foundation during the sale. It will make the price easier to swallow. But I have been wearing this for 3.5. months and no where near done with my first container. And I wear it every day. So YMMV. Use code SAVEMORE.
And my number one: Dr. Jart’s Cicapair™ Tiger Grass Color Correcting Treatment with SPF 30. If you have any redness, from mild to rosacea (I have rosacea!), this is the product for you.
This bestselling green-to-beige cica cream is a K-beauty favorite that instantly calms redness, evens out skin tone, and delivers a natural, healthy-looking glow. Powered by soothing tiger grass (Centella asiatica) and mineral SPF (zinc oxide and titanium dioxide), it hydrates while protecting your skin from UVA/UVB damage. Suitable for all skin types, this cream is inspired by tigers who roll in Centella to heal their wounds—offering the same calming benefits for stressed or sensitive skin. In clinical studies, over 90% of users saw reduced redness, more even tone, and a radiant complexion.
A lot of people find it to be really thick. Mix two pea sizes of this with 2 pea sizes of your moisturizer. You’re weclome!
(This covers and corrects redness for a daily makeup application. Red light will help tone it down over time!)
When it comes to outdoor activities for kids, Walmart has you covered with the big ticket items at great prices. We polled the community for outdoor swingset/activity sets that have lasted for the long haul. Here’s what they love: From a seesaw that has lasted many summers, to a saucer that swings from a tree (for adults and children alike), you can get a good deal on a fantastically fun item that will stay in your family — and your backyard — for years to come. Thank you Walmart for sponsoring today's newsletter!
