NEW- SEPHORA HOLIDAY SAVINGS EVENT BEST PICKS! Shop With Me, What's In My Cart & Gift Ideas! 2022

What is up you guys? Welcome back! Today I'm going to be sharing all of my top picks for the Sephora sale. We're going to shop online together and I'm also going to share a lot of my favorite products. So whether you're shopping for a friend, for Christmas, or for yourself, I've got it all laid out for you. I also now have a website that has all of my favorite products in different collections so it's very easy to find. So say I mention a product that I'm really loving and you cannot remember where you heard me talk about it from, you can now just head to this website where I link every single product that I talk about so that it's just super easy to find. It will be labeled. It will be categorized for different collections. So for instance, I currently have one called All My Favorite Products. I'm going to make another one specifically for this video for the Sephora Holiday Savings Event and list all of my favorite products along with all my top picks. So it's just very easy to find so that you don't have to go and track down my videos and track down the products. It's just so easy for you. I'm also on Like to Know It. I'm going to create some gift guides so if you're not following me on there, I'll link that down below as well along with every single product that I talk about in this video. I felt like I was just like an orchestra person. Whatever. Anyways, I will put all of the tiers on the screen so you can check them out. I know Sephora collection is 30% off throughout the entirety of the sale and it looks like you don't even need to be a beauty insider to access that discount. So correct me if I'm wrong but it doesn't say it. So I don't think you need to be a beauty insider for that. But I lost my rouge status last year so now I'm just a VIB. I'm still happy with the 15% off though. I'm just going to shop in store but I want to build my cart with you today on my phone online so that when I go shopping, I've got it in my cart and I can know what to get. But yeah, I'm going to walk you through all of my top picks for the sale that I think that you would really love. Gift sets, great gift ideas. I'm going to share a lot of my favorite products. So whether you're shopping for someone else or yourself, I've got you covered. So I hope you guys like this video. Please subscribe and let's get into it. So I'm going to start just kind of with the way that I look at this sale. Basically, they only do the sale twice a year and I feel like it's a good time to... I don't want to say necessarily splurge because if you're not normally going to splurge like there's no point. But if you've been wanting something that's a little bit pricier or a little bit more expensive or you're running out of your perfume or something, now's the time to get it because you're never going to get that big discount like you are during this sale. So for instance, I like to get perfume and cologne, hair tools, things like that. So I'll share a couple of my personal favorites. What I've been wearing since it became fall and what I like to wear through the winter season is the Tom Ford ******* fabulous cologne. This I believe is unisex. It gives like a cologne type of smell. Oh my god. Anytime I smell this, I'm like, oh, I just love it so much. They have a candle. I'm eyeballing it. It might get added to my cart today. This just smells so good. I'm not even going to try to describe it too much, but basically it's just like a deeper, it's just a deep sexy scent. So love this. And I really do think that, yeah, I think anybody can wear this. Another really good one that's such a classic is the Chanel Coco Mademoiselle. Mine broke off. If you're not into like deeper scents like that, I really love the Jo Malone Peony and Blush Suede. This is one that I'm running pretty low on. This is actually what I wore on my wedding day. And then another one, I don't know if they have this one or if it was a Nordstrom exclusive, but just check out their page, is the Jo Malone Jasmine Sambach and Marigold. So these are my personal favorites. For hair tools, I love my T3 curling iron. I love my Dyson blow dryer. But if I were you and I had to pick, I still stand by the Airwrap. Lately, I've been going through just like a curling iron phase. But if you're looking for just like that one-stop shop, I really recommend the Airwrap. So I haven't used this in a while, especially because when I was using it, I was wanting more of that like blowout look. And I haven't been wanting that lately. I've been going for this more like relaxed wave type of thing, which I can still do with the Airwrap. But Amanda borrowed my blow dryer. We have another little blow dryer up here I was using while she was borrowing that blow dryer. And then I was like, this is crap. So I grabbed this because I forgot that this also has the blow dry attachment. So I've been using this to blow dry my hair, and it's really nice. So I just kind of forgot about this. And I need to remember, especially for traveling, I don't need anything else. This is just a one gadget hair tool. It's so cool. And now they've got the one that like the barrels that rotate, so you don't have to change out the barrel. So it's a high price point item. And I swear they're always sold out during the sale. And I feel like they do that on purpose. Allegedly, that's like my guess. If it's in stock and you're looking for just a really good hair tool that's versatile and can do everything, I highly recommend the Airwrap. So you guys know my favorite foundation of all time is the Pat McGrath Skin Fetish Sublime Foundation. I also love the concealer. This is what I have on my skin right now. I obviously love to try new things, and I love other things. But if you have to pick one foundation, I highly recommend this one. It just looks like your skin but better. Same with the concealer. It just looks so good on my skin. Unfortunately, this little bitch is like $70. So now's a good time to try it if you haven't yet because you can get a discount on it. It's not too full coverage. It's not too sheer. It's somewhere in between, but it's buildable. It's just awesome. Also, just been really, really obsessed with the Anastasia lip liners. I feel like these are kind of always sold out in my favorite shades, though. If I had to pick a good nude for my skin tone, I would say Cool Brown or Deep Taupe. I have Cool Brown on right now with the Patrick Ta Oshie Single Lipstick, which is just my favorite nude combo. It kind of goes a little bit deeper on me. So I think if you had more of a medium skin tone, you could also use this as your nude as well. And then if I want something a little glossy, new discovered favorites are these lip oils from Merit. If you missed it, check out my last video. I just did an everyday makeup look with them, and I partnered with them on the video. And through that, I discovered these lip oils, which are going to be just my favorites going forward. I am a lip gloss hater. I drink the Haterade. I don't like lip gloss, but these are just so different. They're so just like slippery and oily, but just like not greasy and just they're awesome. My two favorite colors are Taupe and Bel Air. This one I ended up getting a little bit of other color in there, but it is clear with like a gold fleck. It's just they're so beautiful. I'm so excited that I got to work with them because their products are some of my favorite products. What else? What else? What else? Oh, let me just talk about some of my Charlotte Tilbury favorites because that is a little bit more of a bougier brand, so it's a good time to splurge while you can get a discount. My two favorite bronzers ever of all time are both from Charlotte Tilbury. I've got the powder and the cream both in medium. They're stunning. I layer them all the time. I've just never tried a bronzer that gives the right undertone that I prefer, the right finish that I prefer, the right pigment that I prefer. They're just so easy to blend. They just look so good. So that's the cream. I just showed you the powder. Then lately, I feel like I haven't shown this much because it's just kind of like a rediscovered favorite, but the Charlotte Tilbury airbrush powder. Guys, this is really nice. Let me actually I need to powder my face. This is really good and it's been so long since I've used this and I saw it in my drawer and I was like let's give you a whirl again and I have been obsessed. I feel like it works really well with any foundation that I've been pairing it with. It just kind of gives like a nice soft focus look and as right now I've had my makeup on for like a couple hours, so I'm a little oily and I just feel like it just see it just mattify my skin but not look like super drying. If you want something that's extremely mattifying, of course my go-to the Laura Mercier translucent powder is the way to go. But yeah, I had to talk about that powder because it's been so long since I've talked about it. It feels but it's good. It's just a rediscovered favorite. Again, anything from Pat McGrath is always good to get during the sale because her stuff is a higher price point, but the products really are that good. Of course, I already talked about the foundation, but her lip pencils are... I can't talk. Her lip pencils are also really good. This is in the color contour. This looks a lot like the KKW Beauty 1.5 or nude 1.5 lip liner, which is no longer. What the heck is going on with her brand? I'm so annoyed that if you can get that lip pencil, if you find it anywhere, grab it. It's gold, but I haven't seen it online anywhere. If you want a dupe but like three times the price, the Pat McGrath one's really good. And then this highlighter, which I actually don't think that this color is at Sephora, but the formula is. So this is in the color golden moonlight. It's the skin fetish divine glow highlighter. This is my favorite. I have it on right now. I just used all of my favorite products today so you could see them. Yeah, I love this. So anything Pat McGrath, her eyeshadows are also really stunning. It's also a really good time to get skincare. When I go on my phone in a minute, I'm going to go through the gift sets because nine times out of ten, there's a gift set that's perfect for whatever you're looking for. They really do gift sets really well, but the downside is they only make a certain amount of gift sets and then they sell out right away. But anyways, skincare. Drunk Elephant has just become one of my favorite brands. I've become more ingredient conscious where I check stuff on the healthy living app and stuff. So not everything I use is like super clean and I understand that, but I'm trying to make an effort to move in that direction or just maybe even just incorporating more of those kinds of products and less of the other ones. So with that being said, this has been one of my lower on the EWG scale skincare product favorites. I've got the Drunk Elephant version marula oil and the proteiny polypeptide cream. I mix these together actually and it's just a dream. I think if you have dry skin or oily skin, you'd really like this. If you're more oily, use this on its own or just like a tiny drop of this. If you're more dry, you can do more of the oil, but it's just a match made in heaven and I've been loving that. I've also really been into the Clinique Take the Day Off Cleansing Balm. This is awesome. It takes me like two seconds to take my makeup off. I've been such a stickler for makeup wipes and I'm really working hard to get out of that habit. So I use this with a makeup removing towel or a face halo or something. This is also really low on the EWG along with the Necessaire body wash. I've been using this a lot. I don't think that this one is lower on the scale. I think the unscented one is because the scent is probably... I doubt that that's on that scale, but this is the sandalwood scent, which I really love for the colder months. It's just a little bit warmer, a little bit more musky and Ruben really loves this one too. So love this and it's bougie AF. Like anything that's like a bougier product, I am just all over during the sale. Then I have a new purple shampoo. So this one is the Olaplex number 4P. It's the blonde enhancer toning shampoo. I mix this with my regular shampoo. I don't use this all the time because it is potent AF. It's so purple, but it's not extremely drying. Purple shampoos are just really drying on the hair. It's very intense and harsh for your hair. So yeah, I don't use it all the time. Very sparingly and I use a tiny bit, but this has been what I've been using lately. I still like the other ones that I've talked about in the past if you are familiar with those recommendations, but this is a new one that has my stamp of approval. Okay, let's get into the website. I'm going to share my screen. I know hands down something that I want in my cart is the nest holiday candle. All of the fragrances in general, kind of like the colognes and stuff that I was talking about before, those are all just like staples for the sale because you're never going to get that good of a discount on something that's higher priced like that. They like intentionally don't do that because they're going to lose money. Well, lose money, but the holiday scent from nest is just, uh, it's all I plan on burning this Christmas along with fresh balsam from Bath and Body Works. But as I just talked about clean ingredients, I like let's light the most toxic thing, but I don't care. Um, okay, let's get into that. I know for sure. I want to add that to my cart. They do also have a set. It comes with the holiday candle and the birchwood pine candle, which smells really good too. It smells like an evergreen tree. It's beautiful. And then they also have smaller ones, which let's check this one out. What are the sense that this comes with? Oh my gosh. That's a vibe. Blue Cypress and snow. Ooh, oh my gosh. They have one called pumpkin chai. I need to get the holiday one, but I'm going to get the big one. I need the 77 ounce one. Why is that $280? Did I spend $280 on that candle? There's no ******* way. There's no way I spent that much on a candle. No. Okay. I did not. I was like, who do I think I am? This is the one I get. Okay. I was about to have a conversation with myself. Um, I get the 21 ounce one and it's huge. So don't let them fool you thinking that you need anything bigger than that. I'm going to add this to my basket. It's so good. Um, okay. Let's go into gift sets. Okay. This is a really good one from Charlotte Tilbury. This is $32 and it's a mini highlighter and contour stick set. The, um, contour wand is actually one of the things that I have on my list of things to get because it's been sold out for a long time. I'm pretty sure it went a little viral on Tik TOK or something. And since then I haven't been able to replenish it. Um, so this is a good set, 32 bucks for two products. You get the highlighter and the contour wand. Um, this is really good. This is the makeup by Mario lip lift kit comes with a lipstick and a lip pencil. His lipsticks are just one of my favorites. My favorite color is Sierra. It's like the perfect, like peachy nude for my skin tone. It's so beautiful. Ooh, Merit has a cream blush set, um, with three different blushes. If you haven't seen my last video, check it out. I use their cream blushes in that one and they're so beautiful. They're really, really nice. This is a really good set. This one from Olaplex, it comes with the number three, the number zero four and five. I love Olaplex products. They're really good for your hair. Just make sure you are using them correctly. There is a way to use them. And then the other thing it's called K 18. Um, I'll put a little pop up on the screen. My hairstylist was telling me about it. It's very similar to Olaplex, but she says she's actually been liking it a lot better. That's on my list of things to get. Oops, here we go. Here's the Dyson freaking $600 ******* wild. Um, but it's cool because this one also comes with that like fly away smoother, which mine did not come with that. That came out after I bought mine. That's okay. This is such a good deal. So when I worked at Sephora, these sold out within like the week it was so fast. So these are the perfume samplers and they have a couple different ones. So basically you get like 20 different little mini sizes of different perfumes or clones. They have different varieties of like different versions of this set. But in there then you get a gift certificate for a full size of one of those perfumes. It has to be one of the ones that's in the set. But that way, like say, like I feel like cologne and perfume is a really good gift for something, but you just never know if they're going to love the one that you get. And then it's just awkward. Like, I don't know, especially if you, yeah. So this kind of takes all of the awkwardness out of that and you can give, it kind of just looks like, just looks like a bunch of samples, but then you end up getting to decide which one you want a full body of. Then you get to decide which one you want a full bottle of. And all you got to do is bring in that gift certificate. You bring it to Sephora, pick up your full bottle and leave with it for free. So, um, I highly recommend those. Unfortunately, they only make like a small amount. At least at the time when I worked at Sephora, that's how they did it. Um, I don't know if they still do it that way, but highly, highly recommend that. Ooh, ooh, this looks good. This is the ultimate holiday hair hydration set. It has an Amika hair mask in there, some Oribe stuff, whey, oh ----, um, whey stuff. That looks really good. Ooh, this is a really good Tatcha set. The dewy skin essential set comes with, it looks like a cleanser. The, is that a cleansing balm or something? I guess I should click on it. Okay. It comes with the wash, the serum and the moisturizer. Another thing too, that's really good. This is the Sephora collection. Holy sheet holiday set. That's really cute. I like that. Um, it has a bunch of different Sephora collection sheet masks, which this will be 30% off because it's Sephora collection, but something like this, if you don't want it for yourself, or you don't want to get this for one person, that's a really good gift idea to split up into different gifts. So say you have like a lot of sisters or friends or daughters or whatever, say you've just got like a lot of people to buy for it. You can put a little sheet mask and every single one, which is really cute and save some money. Here's that K-18 thing. This is actually something that I'm probably going to get. Let me add this to my cart. So this is the K-18 molecular hair repair value set comes with the mask and the detox shampoo. So that's a really good set. Let me add that to my bag. This one looks really good. This is the holiday lip set. There's just a bunch of different lipsticks. I like that. There's a bunch of different tones in here too. It's not just all neutral. It's not just all red or anything like that. It's not just lipsticks and lip gloss. It's like a mixture of everything. So that's a really good one. Another really great Charlotte Tilbury one. This is the pillow talk on the go set. That's a really good deal. 55K. What just happened? 55 bucks for that's pretty good for what you're getting in there. Oh, this is nice. This is the Patrick Ta major headlines blush and highlighter palette. That looks really nice. I might add that to my cart as well. That looks really pretty. I'm not going to add it right now because I keep losing my spot every time I add it. Okay. Here's another really good replica perfume set. I don't know if this has, it doesn't look like it. It doesn't look like it's got the gift card, but replica is really expensive. This is a bunch of their perfumes, which I would really love. I really want to get the by the fireplace one. That smells so good. It's just like another warm, like cozy scent that also comes in a candle. Um, this is also amazing. This is the Natasha Denona mini baby gold ornament eyeshadow palette. Her eyeshadows are so expensive. So this is a really great way to try multiple colors for a decent price. And to be honest, is anybody ever going to finish like a full size eyeshadow? Unless you're like obsessed and die hard for it. This is a really good option. Ooh. And then the silk, the slip hair ties. I need that. Okay. They have really come out with tons of hair ties since the last time I ordered mine, but mine have seen better days. Let me tell you. So I'm kind of thinking I want this one. This looks really cute. Add to basket. Okay. So I think that's it for shopping right now. I'm going to keep looking and I really need your recommendations for what to get. I think I also want to get this one Sephora collection foundation and concealer, especially because it's going to be 30% off and that I think I can order on Friday. What is the name of it? Best skin ever. I've heard a lot of really great things about that foundation and that concealer. So I really want to try that out, but let me know your recommendations down below. I really need, I kind of want to revamp some of my collection this season. I feel like I've really cleaned it out and really gotten my collection down to products that I just really love and enjoy. So I feel like it's time to finally try some new things and this is the perfect time. So let me know what you think I need down below in the comments. And also if there's any other sets that I think that are amazing deals, I will link them down below. And I will also link them in that whole like website thing that I was talking about. I will do like a separate thing. So I'll do like the, um, Sephora sale recommendations, but then I'll also do a separate one of like Sephora sale gift sets that I recommend and that I think are a really good deal. So that's everything for this video. I hope you guys enjoyed. I know this is a little bit different than my past holiday savings event videos, but I really wanted to share my favorites and I don't know, take you along like the shopping process, see what's out there, share my recommendations. Again, I think for this sale, I just think number one is just like, if there's a higher price point item that's been on your mind and you've been thinking about, now's the time to get it because of the sale, because of the discount. And then also if you have anything that's just sort of like your everyday essentials, this is also a good time to stock up on those because even if you don't get to them right away, you know, you will, as long as it's not going to like expire right away or something. So that's it. You guys, thank you so much for hanging out with me today. I hope you enjoyed this video. Don't forget to leave your recommendations down below and don't forget to check out the description box. Let me know what videos you want to see next and I'll see you soon. Bye.
