Love, Lauren Michelle: What I *Actually* Purchased from the #SephoraSale: Spring 2021 Edition

Hey, beauty lovers! It's my favorite time of the year - Sephora spring sale! Seems like the sale is shorter this year as it's only 10 days (last year was a full 2 weeks). So definitely act quickly before time runs out!

I have broken out everything I am planning to purchase into categories and I've added a section at the end to include any recent beauty buys that are also available at Sephora. Also, don't do the math on what I'm buying, LOL - it's a lot I know!! 🙈

HAIRCARE

1. Drybar "Prep Rally" Prime & Prep Detangler - Works realllllyyyy well as a detangler & helps to protect hair from the damages of heat styling. Can't wait to try my Verb version!

2. Living Proof Perfect Hair Day (PhD) Dry Shampoo - This is my OG all time fav dry shampoo & LP just came out with a jumbo size! I did also order Verb's dry shampoo & can't wait to see how it compares.

3. Briogeo Scalp Revival Shampoo - Got to try this as the Sephora birthday gift last year and I instantly became obsessed! It is the most refreshing clarifying shampoo I have ever tried. Though pricey, I don't go through it super quickly since it's not an everyday shampoo.

4. Briogeo Deep Conditioning Mask - This was the conditioner in the birthday set and it works really well. I like to leave it in for a few minutes while showering to really soften and condition the hair.

5. Drybar Super Lemon Drop Hair Brush - Purchased this last year during the sale and I loveee it. Definitely could use a new one already though!

MAKEUP

1. Too Faced Born This Way Foundation - This used to be my favorite foundation but for some reason, I stopped wearing it! I have recently been trying out CC creams and you know I love my $5 foundation, but I am excited to incorporate this foundation back into my routine!

2. Sephora Collection Bright Future Concealer - This is a tried and true favorite for me. It's a great, lightweight formula for an even better price!

SKINCARE

1. Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask - Okay you all I am obsessed with this! I know, seems expensive for what is essentially a lip balm, BUT I purchased mine during the sale last year and it lasted a whole year! Even with using it every day, I still have a bit left in the jar.

2. Fresh Rose & Hyaluronic Acid Deep Hydration Toner - Recently tried out the mini size of this toner and love it. It is so refreshing and smells great!

3. OleHenriksen Banana Eye Cream - This will be first time try but heard good things!

4. OleHenriksen C-Rush Brightening Double Cream - Another first time purchase!

5. OleHenriksen Goodnight Glow Retin-ALT Sleeping Cream - Tried this out for the first time last summer and I really like how luxurious it feels on my skin. It's made with a natural retinol alternative to deeply hydrate and target fine lines, wrinkles, and dark spots.

6. Sunday Riley C.E.O. 15% Vitamin C Brightening Serum - Recently tried out the 100 point sample of this and I fell in love! It's a really nice formula and not sticky at all! My new favorite Vitamin C daily serum - so you better believe I am getting a jumbo size.

7. Sunday Riley All-In-One Lactic Acid Treatment - Another recent 100 point sample I tried out and really liked it! I saw results pretty quickly in the overall appearance of my pores and skin's pigmentation. Can't wait to get the full size so I can really put it to the test!

8. Lancôme Bi-Facil Eye Makeup Remover - My tried and true favorite makeup remover! It also works to remove waterproof makeup.

RECENT BEAUTY BUYS (also available at Sephora)

1. IT Cosmetics CC Cream with SPF 50+ - A new product that I recently tested and love! It's so easy to wear and I love how lightweight the formula is. The fact that it also has SPF means that it's perfect for the warmer weather and spending more time outdoors!

2. IT Cosmetics Superhero Mascara - Another tried and true makeup staple for me! It's just SO GOOD!

3. IT Cosmetics Brow Power Universal Brow Pencil - My favorite brow pencil because I love that it has a spoolie on one end! I use the shade Universal Taupe.

4. Sephora Collection Waterproof Liquid Eyeliner - Recently tried this out because I wanted to wear a liquid eyeliner that wasn't black. I've been having fun incorporating green, teal and rust colored eyeliners into my makeup looks!

5. Drybar High Tops Self-Grip Rollers - I have been using these for about a month now and I am definitely obsessed! I like to curl my hair and quickly put it into these rollers so my hair can cool down while rolled up. The result is gorgeous bouncy blowout that anyone can do. I get so many compliments whenever I use them!
