Sephora VIB Sale... My Top Holiday Picks

It is Sephora VIB time. I have things to say in every category, things that I will be ordering myself, favorites, I have a solid hit list for everything. Probably too many recommendations and I have even more. I will be linking corresponding videos in the description box below, so check that out. But I wanna start out a little bit out of order and share with you guys what is on my eyes today. I just got this in PR today. I put it on and immediately I'm like add to my collection. Yes, we have the Lightworks 8. This is an expensive palette, but I would say during the sale. Oh my gosh, yes. Do we love the eye look today? Because I am so into this. It is clearly my entire theme and mood for this video, so I just wanted to show you guys because a lot of you guys were like, please go get it, please go get it, and I was going to, but then I got surprised. Legitimate. The quality is superb. These are all on my eyes today. Look at the shift of that top one. Oh my gosh. Danessa has done it again. Let's get into it. We're going to go rapid fire. We have a few primers. POV gripping primer. Yes, I'm into it. I love it. Tarte Timeless Smoothing Primer. I always have to give that a shout out because I use that every day of my life, but LYS has a blurring primer and because I'm so into their bronzing stick right now, I have to get my hands on it and I will be sure to give you guys an update of what I think. For foundations, I am going to refer you to last week's video because I did a top 15 ranked of new launches in 2024, so all of the new good ones, but I do want to of course give a shout out to something that is tried and true, Givenchy Blurring Foundation. If you have not tried this, now is the time. Get it on sale. It is truly next level gorgeous. So natural, so blurring. It is a fantastic formula. It does have fragrance in it. If that is an issue for you, I would go with the new launch from Make Up For Ever. This is a stunning formula as well. It has this nice grip to it where I don't feel like it's slipping and sliding off the skin. I'm wearing it today. I've been reaching for this one a ton. It is the HD Skin Balancing and Perfecting Foundation. If you want a matte formula, the new one from Fenty is fantastic. The Filter Flex. So this is a natural matte that is going to bounce back with your facial expressions. It's a little bit more of a matte version of the Shiseido Synchro Foundation that we all loved so much. I really like this one. This, oh my god, every time I wear it, a great skin day happens. It's not heavy, but you can really cover. I know I've been talking about this one a ton, so we're just gonna keep it moving, but the Drunk Elephant Camo Triple Peptide Cover Drops, fantastic. For powder, I'm like a freaking broken record. You guys, grab the Charlotte Tilbury Pressed before they reformulate without talc. Do yourself a favor, buy it on sale. This is the Airbrush Flawless Finish. I have the shade Shade 1, I love touching up with this, brightening under the eye with it. Also, of course, Givenchy Prisme Libre Pressed. Love this one too. I'm in shade three for loose. The Huda Beauty is the only loose powder that I have been reaching for recently. I like the new duo that they launched of Cherry and Peach. I'm wearing it today. It brightens up the under eye like nobody's business. There's nothing else that compares to this formula. I like it so much more than the new loose version from Charlotte that's 50 bucks. As far as a talc-free option, it is one of the best, but I just like the Huda better. Not sure why I went a little bit out of order, but let's talk about some more cream products for the face. For concealer, I have these three right here. My go-to has been the Estee Lauder Double Wear. Now that is not going to be for everybody. If you have a lot of creasing underneath the eyes, more mature skin, If that's an area of huge concern for you and you want to be a little more delicate with what you're putting underneath the eye, but you still want coverage, you're going to go for the Natasha Denona High Glam. It is a very thin, under eye loving, rich. Hydrating concealer that you guys have seen me wear over and over and over and then a new one that I am going to be picking up a different shade of because this one is just a little bit too yellow is from Tower 28. When I tried this on during a recent wear test, I was wowed. So I will be getting another one of these. But when I am doing glam. When I am looking like this, when I am baking and doing big eyes and lashes, I love using my double wear. I find that it really doesn't crease much, but it is a slightly thicker formula. The great thing about it is it is truly very long wear, hence the name, so you don't have to worry about touching up at all. You just want to make sure that you're blending it in pretty quickly and that you're not over using the product, but this has been like my everyday go-to. For blush, this is literally the only one I'm super excited about as far as a stick cream blush from Charlotte Tilbury. I want every single color. I even want to buy the pressed powder blurring blush. Not that it has anything to do with this formula, but I'm just like Charlotte Tilbury blush. Every time I wear it, I have a great makeup day. I'm in love with the texture. I'm in love with the formula. I'm in love with everything about it. It is expensive, so you definitely want to grab it while it's on sale. I only have two shades. I have... Oh my god, what have I done? Oh no! And this is like the baby one. Okay, the baby one's like 18. It has lasted me quite a long time. What did I just do? I had it up and I put the lid on. No! Look at this. Oh my gosh! This one is rosy glow. I'm wearing it today. And then I have peachy glow. Juicy, creamy, yummy. Perfect. Guys, I always feel like kind of a little more sassy and spicy with the straight hair and the darker eyes, so just you have been warned. You have been warned. I'm feeling the fall fantasy. Okay, Motivate from LYS. How much do I have left in here? That's it. That's all I have. I have been Skipping. Shoop. Every single day. Have I touched another cream bronzer? Shoop. Shoop. No. The only thing I do outside of this one is I use my Catrice Face Palette that's like seven dollars to contour my nose and to underpaint my lips. But this? Oh my gosh. If you have any dryness on the skin and you need a ridiculous, A fabulous, beautiful blend on your face with your bronzer. No patches. No blemishes. Good coverage. Doesn't lift your foundation. No blemishes. No blemishes. No blemishes. Ew, I have really beat this one up. Oh my gosh. No blemishes. No blemishes. No blemishes. This is how you know it's love though. No blemishes. This is like, this is the real truth. When it comes to bronzer, I like a bronzer that is patch-free, that wears really well, that applies evenly, that doesn't overly grip to my foundation or any wetness on the face. I want to be able to go on the neck with it. I want to be able to throw it in the socket of the eye and wear it as eyeshadow if I feel like it. I demand a lot of performance from my bronzers, so I'm willing to spend money on bronzers even though I do have a ton of drugstore options that I like as well. I think I just like bronzer, like it's one of those non-negotiables for me. So the newest one is from Marc Jacobs, I love the pan size, I love the blur, it is so soft, I mention this every time, be careful this will break if you drop it, but this is a great new launch and I've been reaching for it non-stop. This is the OG Beat to Death, been wearing this forever, you guys have heard about this over and over again, could probably use a new one. From Dior. You cannot go through this. There's so much product in here and you don't need a ton. It builds. It wears well. It blurs. It's incredible. If you want to spend an arm and a leg, Dolce & Gabbana. So gorgeous. I don't want to love this, but it's so pretty on the skin that I make an exception where I'm like, you know what? Sometimes luxury products don't just look good. They like feel good and they give you an energy and sensation and like the whole experience is just really leveled up and I think this is so pretty on the skin. I love it. You can only order this one online and then Huda Beauty. Huda Beauty bronzer blends beautifully, isn't patchy. Everything about it, I love. Obsessed. More face products. A few more. Ilia. This only comes out during holiday. I will just talk about this as often as I have a chance to. I hate the compact, but these baked... Products in here are so smoothing. If you have mature skin, if you have textured skin, fine lines, pores that are visible that you want to just blur, but you want that elegant glow at the same time, the finish on these is next level. I love so much. And then the most magical blush that ever existed was limited edition, but they have it online. And so it's back, and there are two different shades to choose from. I am obsessed with this. I love that you get this kind of setting powder, pinky, under-eye brightening situation that you can blend, kind of, you can do the transition blush technique if you like. I like using this to dull down the pink if it's a little too out of hand. I just find this blush looks so good every single time. Consistent, wears well, blurring, patch-free, bright in the correct way. Just a beautiful pinky tone without being obnoxious pink. Love the heart compact. And then if you want to spend an arm and a leg, go for it. Givenchy Loose Powder Blush. This is the Prisme Libre Blush. You will never go through a whole thing because it's very, very concentrated. You just kind of swirl, tap, buff. Back to my bare mineral days, right? You just want to take a little bit like so. Get it in your brush. tap tap tap tap tap and then you would just I'm already wearing a lot of blush what am I doing? Beautiful! Every time I wear this it just kind of gives me such a nice pick-me-up that I'm like man that blush really is special and if you're looking for a cool toned pinky blush this particular shade shade number one is that perfect cool toned popular pink blush without being Pepto-Bismol. It doesn't just sit on the skin and look funny, it actually looks like a real lip from within, pink blush somehow. I have things to say about eyes and my big hope is that more shadow palettes are launched. Did you know that there are like 660 options for lips but when it comes to eyeshadow there's like 93 total and some of the search items are not even eyeshadow so you're like like what happened? I love eyeshadow. I am bringing it back into my every day Life hello. Your best bet is Danessa Myricks. Any of the Lightwork palettes if you want something a little more punchy, if you want something new fresh that is just going to be fun to use every single day. This looks so much more cool toned on the website. And it is, it is cool toned, but it also has some nice warmth to it. I'm loving the shimmers that are in here. This is the Anastasia Genesis palette. I have been reaching for this nonstop. And then the Ethereal Eyes. Basically any of the Makeup By Mario palettes are standard. You're going to reach for them a ton. They do great things. I like these two more than I like the Patrick Ta. I'm reaching for them more than I am the really expensive Natasha Denona. So these are kind of like the go-to's. This one is just the Ethereal Eyes. All of the time. In fact, let's just punch up what I'm wearing. Just, why not? Just like, let's see what we can do. A little sequin shimmer right there. Do you see that? It just, the sequins by Mario. If you're swatching in the store, you're going to be like, yeah, right, stupid, but sophisticated sequin wet shimmer is what you get when you put it on your eyes. Do you know what we need to do? I feel like, I feel like Danessa's feeling left out, so we need to swatch some of those because, like, it's my new toy. Look how pretty this is and sophisticated. These are punchy. The mattes, by the way, because the first one that I put on was this deep, dark, rich, kind of like a cherry matte. I put this right on the very outer edge of my eye and the way it blended, I was just like, I'm in. Like, I'm already in. I already have all of her other palettes, but this color story, I am loving. I'm swatching this for the first time with you guys. Stop. Oh my god, that is red in the pan. What? Wait, we need like the mirror trick? Are we seeing this? Stop this madness. Oh, but don't. Oh my God. I love that. I'm having mental issues right now. Dunk me in these colors. Wow. I can't. I'm in love. Eyeliners, let's talk about it. I cannot find for the life of me the 12-hour waterproof liner from Sephora that I have been raving about as a dupe for the Urban Decay. That has been a black liner that has not smudged, smeared. It's just very, very creamy. I love it. I am going to be picking up more of those pencils because they're going to be 30% off during the sale, but the other pencils that I am loving, I do still like the 24-7 waterline. This is the dupe for the $12 version. Maybe get the $12 version, but this one still is really nice. It's a nice matte, rich, beautiful pencil that does not move. Today in my lower lash line, lower waterline is Velvet Teddy from MAC. I need more MAC pencils because these are so pretty. And then Ilia Throughline. Oh my gosh, you guys, there's something so fantastic about the color. And how it doesn't irritate your eyes or like crumble in the eye at all. Like wow, I have, I think I have all the shades. No, I think I have half the shades. Oh my god. Let's do a little Velvet Teddy. Really beautiful, rich, warm, gorgeous brown. For mascara, the only one that I am still so stuck on is the Back of the Cab Tubing Mascara from Sarah Creel. But to be honest, I have been reaching for a number seven tubing mascara more because it's just a little more fluttery than this one. So I still love this. I wanted to give you guys a good mascara recommendation. Very, very different brush on this one from most tubing mascaras, so that is notable. This is a really nice one for your brows. Just don't waste your money and get a $7 bite-sized brow from e.l.f. That is what I'm wearing in my brows right now. I'm kind of taking a moment away from pencils, but if I was going to recommend a pencil, it would be Anastasia Brow Wiz or the Dior Brow Show Styler. Dior Show something. Rare Beauty has a really beautiful brow gel that I have been reaching for a lot, and I think I might pick up my Benefit Brow wax during the sale. I missed that one. I really, really like that one too. There's so much going on in this video. I hope you guys appreciate this list. Make sure you subscribe. Thumbs up the video if you're enjoying the madness of all of these recommendations. We have made it to the lip category. If you like this style of applicator, Hung Van Gogh or Danessa Myricks are going to be your best bets. I've tried them all. These two are exceptional, especially the Danessa one. Come on. Literally. So smooth. So juicy. And you get a little bit of a plump action here. How dare I put that on top of my liner? I need to clean my hand a little bit better. We are knee deep in all of the makeup. Hung Van Gogh, look at the applicator. Okay, clearly I use this. It's a little bit of a mess. Gorgeous. You want something kind of like tart maracuja juicy but a little bit plumping and just better in my opinion. This is from LYS. I love the little triangle applicator. Super wet shine. You need something more innovative, a little more fun. You want to feel a plump in a different way. These do that really bizarre, tingly, zappy, almost feels electrical. Very similar to Soap and Glory. If you guys have tried the Sexy Mother Pucker Plumping in the past, the Tower 28 New Plumping Lip Glosses that are a lip oil have a very similar sensation. I really like these. I like the applicator. Little more sheer as far as the opacity. Cute little chubby doe foot applicator. Really thin on the lips and just so... Plumping in the most satisfying way. Shout out to Fussy from Fenty. If you want a good gloss, this is actually what I'm wearing today. It is classic, iconic. I have to mention, because I am going to be picking up different shades. I think there's one called Sweet Mousse and there's a peach one that I want. But these are so nice. If you need a nude concealer lip-esque lipstick, that's really the only kind of lipstick I wear anymore. Creme de Nude, classic from MAC. Any of the new Natasha Denona concealer lip, milky lip collection, really dependent on your skin tone. I love the shade Vanilla Swirl. And if you want to go the max, like maximum concealer lip, like I'm just going to tap this so you guys can see. Look at that. This formula is insane. Natasha, Natasha, MAC. For lip liner, what do you think I'm going to say? Wherever Walnut from Makeup Forever. I'm like a freaking broken record with that one. However, I started wearing Smokey Pink from Makeup by Mario. Why? Because it was doing the same framing that Wherever Walnut was doing, but wasn't translating so orangey. And a lot of people have had that issue where Wherever Walnut is really pretty, but it can kind of lean a little too warm on some people. So I want to point out that Smokey Pink from Makeup by Mario, And it's a great quality. Beauty liner. Beautiful. Gorgeous. We'll do smoky pink up top and a little Wherever Walnut. Right below it, they are very similar. You see, this just has a little more cool tone to it that I personally am loving. Makeup by Mario, Makeup Forever. To be so for real, outside of those two, I'm pretty much like, find me at Walmart, find me at the drugstore for lip liners. These, this little holiday kit from Lawless, oh my gosh, it is so cute. It comes in the cutest box. How cute to keep in your purse. Stop it. I'm going to put the... Crystalline one on just to show you but any of the lawless plumping glosses if you want a thick juicy plumping gloss That's the one it's thicker. It's not a lip oil. It's not like the Tower 28 This is like thick these have like a different holiday scent on them but you give this a minute and all of a sudden your lips are just like Like it is such a great plumping formula. I love it. We're setting the face. We're setting it and forgetting it. If you want something high shine dewy, Say City Set is your best bet. If you want something to help your makeup to blend in better, look how much I have used of this. This is the Color Glow Mist. Sign me up for life. I love this. Until Dawn. Standard. Classic. Must have one of these in your collection for special occasion when you need things to lock in and not move and not transfer and be literally on till dawn. This is so incredible. And of course, Mac Fix Plus. I will never not have this as like the number one hero in my collection, period. Especially when you work a little bit of heat on the face with Mac Fix Plus. I don't know why it works so well. It just does to take down all the powderiness and to melt everything together. It's the best. I'm so happy they have it at Sephora now. So there you have that. I think I pulled apart every single drawer in the beauty studio you guys. I hope you all enjoyed this. I hope this was fun. I hope you have a great time shopping the sale. Let me know what you're eyeballing, what you're picking up. Leave it in the comments and other than that you guys go and have a great day whatever you are doing. I love you so much and I will see you guys in my next video.
