The Sephora Holiday Savings Event has begun and I am soooo excitedddd! I choose to purchase most of my makeup and hair care products from Sephora throughout the year so that I earn as many points as possible in order to take advantage of the seasonal sales they do for their Beauty Insiders. Right now Beauty Insiders can get up to 20% off (depending on your specific tier level) when you use the code HOLIDAYFUN. I love that you can use the code as many times as you want, in-store or online. Sale ends 11/9!
I am going to share some of my picks from the sale. This is a great time to stock up on shampoo and conditioner, the cotton pads you shouldn’t ever live without, and other favorites. Make sure you take a look at some of the gift sets and get started on your Christmas shopping.

MY PICKS FOR THE SEPHORA HOLIDAY SAVINGS EVENT
HAIR
Olaplex Hair Fix Kit: I love this hair care line so, so much. It has totally transformed and saved my hair from some serious damage. This would make a great gift for one of your girlfriends or even to yourself! If you aren’t sure about it, you can always try this trial size kit. This kit contains all of the same products, just in a smaller size.
Blonde Toning Drops: These purple, blonde-toning drops are freaking amazing!!! Turn your favorite shampoo or conditioner (or any cream or liquid hair care product) into a blonde toning product with just a few of these super-concentrated drops. I used to use a purple shampoo and conditioned specifically for blondes but it seriously dried out my hair. With this product, you just add a few drops into your favorite shampoo and it instantly becomes a customed mixed toner to help banish the brassiness that comes with bleaching your hair. I use it every time I wash and love how bright and blonde it keeps my hair. If you bleach your hair, I highly recommend these drops!
Bb Blow Dry Accelerator: I use this spray right after washing my hair to reduce blow-dry time while also protecting against heat/UV damage and breakage. It smells really good and I do notice that it does help speed up my blow-dry time.
Dry Shampoo: I started using this dry shampoo again and I am absolutely lovingggg it! It does a really great job of refreshing your hair by absorbing oil and buildup. I will sometimes even add it to clean hair for extra texture and body. It’s really good!
Volume Boosting Moose: Apply Southern Belle Volume-Boosting Root Lifter to wet hair (focusing on the crown area) for extra volume at the roots.
Hair Mask: Do you use a hair mask regularly? I finally added this deep-conditioning mask to my weekly hair washing routine and it has been so helpful in keeping my hair healthy. I wish I would have been doing this all along. Try adding this mask to your weekly hair was routine if you’re struggling with dry, dull, boring hair. If you aren’t sure, try the trial size first.
SKINCARE
3 Little Wonders Kit: “The 3 Little Wonders™ set targets visible signs of aging in one easy routine. Truth Serum® is OleHenriksen’s number one antiaging serum that helps brighten, firm skin, and deliver all-day hydration with vitamin C and collagen. Sheer Transformation® is a whipped, silky moisturizer that gently refines uneven skin tone and texture. It contains multifruit acids and antioxidants, delivers weightless hydration and luminous perfection, and is the perfect makeup prep step. Invigorating Night Transformation™ Gel redefines beauty sleep. This retexturizing gel smooths skin with a concentrated multisource AHA complex.” I have gone through several bottles of the Vitamin C Truth Serum. I love the way it feels on my skin and I definitely see a difference in my skin when I use it consistently. I am really looking forward to trying the other two steps in this kit. This kit is valued at $110 and is on sale for $52 BEFORE the HOLIDAYFUN discount!
Pumpkin Enzyme Mask: This mask is incredible! According to the website, “This mask addresses the look of a dull, aging complexion by exfoliating with pumpkin enzyme, peeling with alpha hydroxy acid, and polishing with aluminum oxide crystals. It helps even the look of skin tone and smooth the look of fine lines and wrinkles—revealing skin that appears smoother, younger, and radiant.” I would absolutely agree with those claims. My skin definitely looks much healthier after using this mask. It smells so good and is free of SLS which is something I have to stay away from.
Skin Brightening Peel Pads: A fast-acting, once-a-week resurfacing facial peel infused with a 7-acid complex to minimize visible signs of aging and refine the look of pores while leaving skin looking brighter, smoother, and more youthful. This helps with dullness and uneven texture, fine lines and wrinkles, and pores.
Facial Cotton: This is the softest, most luxurious cotton pad you’ll ever use.
MAKEUP
Smooth & Blur Primer: If you want to smooth out your pores and keep your foundation in place, this primer is a must.
Lip Kit: I bought this over the summer and quickly realized why so many people rave about this kit. This is such a beautiful, hydrating lipstick, lip liner, and gloss that looks beautiful on so many skin tones.
Setting Spray: I always, always finish off my makeup with this setting spray. After finishing your makeup, shake the bottle and lightly spray this all over your face.
NEW TO ME PRODUCTS I’M PURCHASING
Lash Primer: I don’t use a lash primer now but I am excited to try one. I will use this under my all-time favorite, must-have, can’t live without mascara.
Microneedling Anti-Wrinkle Retinol Patches: I am super intrigued by these patches. I have enjoyed the other products I’ve used by this brand so I am excited to try these, too! The website says these are “A dissolving microneedling patch infused with age-fighting retinol, peptides, and vitamin C to smooth the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.” You’re supposed to use them overnight twice a week for 2 consecutive weeks to see best results. I’ll let you know what I think of them!
Liquid Eyeliner: I don’t really ever wear eyeliner but this one might change that!
