Today I’m sharing my recent beauty empties and more! I’ve got some skincare, some supplements and some other good things!
Beauty
- Primer: MilkPore Eclipse Mattifying + Blurring Makeup Primer – After many of my viewers recommended this primer, I decided to try it. My Holy Grail primer is the Smashbox Photo Finish Smooth & Blur Oil-Free Foundation Primer. If you haven’t, definitely try it!
- Foundation: Estée Lauder Double Wear Stay-in-Place Foundation – My all-time fav!
- Beauty Sponge: BeautyblenderBESTIES BRONZE Limited-Edition Beauty Sponge and Cleanser Starter Set. I have never used a Beauty Blender because I love my Sonia Kashuk Makeup Sponge. I’ll keep you posted. It may be a return.
- Under Eye Concealer: Lancome Teint Idole Ultra Wear All Over Full Coverage Concealer – This will be a new product. My current under-eye concealer appears to be discontinued, as I only see a few available shades, not those I use.
- Brow Pencil: BenefitPrecisely, My Brow Pencil Waterproof Eyebrow Definer – My all-time fav!
- Bronzer/Contour/Highlight: Smashbox Step-By-Step Contour Kit – My all-time fav!
- Mascara: It Cosmetics Superhero Elastic Stretch Volumizing and Lengthening – I used this mascara several years back and remember loving it. I decided to give it another try. I also just repurchased the Splurgy City Beauty Beyond Mascara. I LOVE this product. I don’t like the price, though. City Beauty has sent me this mascara twice, and I’m hooked. If you decide to take the plunge and get this mascara for yourself, I must mention the InvisiCrepe™ Body Balm. It is divine.
- Lash Growth Serum: Olaplex Lashbond Building Serum – This will be new to my repertoire. I have been using Latisse for several years, which I am about out of. The Olaplex had good reviews and is much cheaper.

Sephora Springs Savings has started. Rouge members can shop now. VIB and Insider members can take advantage of the savings. Be sure to check your tier. Rouge receives 20% off, while VIB gets 15% and Insider 10% off. You can shop as often as you wish until the 24th.
I placed one order already but planned to do one more before the savings event ends. Use code SAVENOW at checkout.
Below are the products I purchased or am contemplating for my second order. You will see a section on travel. When the Spring Savings Event rolls around, I always check my travel supplies to ensure I am stocked. I notoriously give many of my travel goodies to my daughters when they are traveling, especially one who frequently travels with only a carry-on.
Skincare
I don’t buy much skincare from Sephora. Most of my skincare is either OTC (Amazon) or prescription.
Cleansing Balm: Clinique Take The Day Off Cleansing Balm – I love several cleansing balms.
Face Mask: Glow Recipe Watermelon Glow Hyaluronic Clay Pore-Tight Facial Mask – I didn’t replenish this because I still have some and two other clay masks, but I shared it on Stories a couple of days ago, so I wanted to add it in. Clay masks are my favorite because I have combination/oily skin. It’s a great mask and one I would recommend.
Makeup
Another great mascara that I love is Tarte Tarte Lights, Camera, Lashes™ 4-in-1 Mascara. It’s such an everyday fail-proof mascara. The City Beauty Beyond Mascara creates a more dramatic lash for reference.
I made another purchase with some items for my daughter. You can see which items from above I decided to purchase:

Happy Sunday! As a continuation of the last 3 weeks, I’ve scoured the beauty sites to find new arrivals in the beauty arena. This includes makeup, skincare, and hair care. Pretty soon, we’ll start seeing those Holiday Beauty Sets pop up all over which means that summer really is over!
In addition to new fall beauty, the Ulta 21 days of beauty ALSO starts today and ends on September 18th. Make sure you’re keeping up with my Instagram stories as I’ll be sharing my picks throughout the next 3 weeks!
My pick for the first day of the Ulta Beauty Sale is the MAC Lipsticks. They’re 50% off and there are 4 formulas and TONS of colors to choose from! At 50% off, they’re $10.50 which puts them at Drugstore prices. I highly suggest stocking up or trying them out if you’ve been curious about the formula or color! My business manager’s go-to lipstick is the MAC Creme In Your Coffee. She’s informed me that she has 2 in her cart already.

New Hair Care
You can use the arrows to flip through these new hair items. One thing that’s become exceedingly popular over the past year or two, is scalp treatments! It makes sense to me, since a healthy scalp means your hair will grow better!
New Skin Care
One notable item in this category is The Ordinary Lash and Brow serum. I haven’t tried it, but everything I’ve heard about The Ordinary is that they’re a great brand at an affordable price. If any of you try this product, I would LOVE your feedback about it!
Body Care
Makeup Products
I’m noticing a lot more cream bronzer products on the market these days. While my skin is too oily to feel comfortable using products like that, I can definitely see the appeal.
