Beauty Staples: What to buy

The Sephora twice-a-year sale that is going on right now is a great way to stock up on those essential products that you purchase over and over again, and it’s also a great time to try one or two things new!

This week, the products I am purchasing:

The products that I buy on repeat:

Charlotte Tilbury Hollywood Filter: this is a new addition to my beauty regimen and I’m hooked! In fact, I had a makeup artist over last week and I got her hooked as well - it’s basically a primer and blemish eraser all in one. You can even use it by itself for the minimal makeup look. I had to go light to match my skin - and matched at #2.

Sunday Riley Good Genes: this product is worth every penny and was one of my first purchases when I started diving into skincare. It was also my first exposure to this brand and I’ve been hooked ever since! Because it doesn’t go on sale often, scoop it up during this sale!

Moon Juice Acid Potion - I started using this two months ago and….life changing. This exfoliator has glycolic, lactic and salicylic acids to resurface this skin and also contains niacinamide for hydrating and balancing the skin.

Sunday Riley Tidal: I have used this face cream for several years. The consistency is great and it’s very hydrating. Love it! 

Saie Tinted Moisturizer: This new, sustainable beauty brand is on fire. I purchased the tinted moisturizer a few weeks ago, liked it so much that I went back and bought a highlighter. This tinted moisturizer has SPF which makes it slightly greasy, but with some blending in and a good powder, it results in a fabulous glowy finish. 

Biossance sunscreen: One of my favorite mineral sunscreens

Moon Juice SuperYou: This adaptogenic supplement has been a staple in my regimen since last summer. It contains ashwagandha which is a natural approach to support stress management and rhodiola which helps with alertness.    

The new products I am trying now: 

Goop scrub: I’m always a sucker for a good, fresh smelling body scrub. Shower time is self-care time for me. 

Saie lip: I’ve tried and loved some of their other products (see above) and am excited to try more!

Ilia Serum Concealer: The consistency of this is supposed to be amazing and it has Vitamin C for brightening!
