How to get one of these limited edition, knitted Sephora Bags?

I have already seen these bags being resold online which is kind of crazy! This one of the cutest merch that Sephora has dropped, but it is kind of tough to get your hands on.

  1. When you are picking up your BOPIS order find out from the associate if that Sephora location have the knit tote in store. You can also cal ahead to find out.

  2. When checking out in-store, ask the associate if they have knit tote available in-store.

  3. You must qualify to receive the knit tote if they are available at your location. To qualify, you must make a purchase above $50 (after discount and before tax). You have to ask for the Sephora Knit Tote and with your purchase. (NOT AFTER) The Beauty advisor must scan the tote with your purchase.

Sephora Limited Edition Kits.

Must-Have Products

Cleanse:

Elemis Cleansing Balm is a skincare holy grail for removing makeup, sunscreen, and impurities. I like to use this cleansing balm for my morning gua sha routine. This limited edition kit is a great deal to try different types of Elemis cleansing balms and one of their top-quality cleansers.

Cleansers morning and evening or just once per day?

Getting straight to it, cleansers completely depend on what you want it to do and your skin type.

For a gentle, satisfying foamy cleanser try Sulwhasoo Gentle Foaming Cleanser. If you prefer a gentle cleanser without the foam, Glow Recipe Avocado Cleanser or this cleanser will be your vibe.

Do you like the feeling that all your skin gunk came off in one go? Try this Youth to The People Cleanser, or their kit. For some extra grit, try this Rice Wash Softening Cleanser.

A great exfoliating cleanser is Dr. Dennis Gross AHA & BHA

The Skincare Routine: Cleanse, Tone, (Treat), Moisturize, Protect

Tone:

Like cleansers, toners target many different skin care issues. A hydrating toner can improve your skin texture and elasticity. Laneige Cream Skin Toner has been a favorite of mine for years. I use this toner morning and evening and I always recommend it to clients of all ages and skin types.

For a luxury experience, to treat dark spots, wrinkles, and lack of elasticity, try this limited edition kit from SK-11. This kit includes essence, toner, and sheet masks.

If you have congested skin and want to clear out blackheads, try Paula’s Choice Exfoliant. Another less talked about exfoliating toner that works really well is Youth to the People, 10% AHA + Kombucha Exfoliant.

Treat:

Skincare tools can be quite pricey and this is the time to take advantage of your discount.

Here are my game-changing skincare tools that I would buy again if something ever happened to them.

3 Cleansers, 3 different reasons to love them. 

Simple, effective, affordable, and easy to use is my Gua Sha Facial Lifting Tool. I use this tool most mornings. I’m not entirely sure if I see a difference with it sculpting my face, but it is certainly relaxing and it gets rid of any facial tension. I usually use this with the Elemis Cleansing Balm for slip.

Dr. Dennis Gross Spectralite Face Ware Pro. I’ve seen a dramatic difference in the appearance of my skin. You should use it consistently. I go running back to this skincare device when I am experiencing a breakout or I haven’t been very kind to my skin. The difference it makes is quite dramatic. It’s like hitting a reset button!

The Pro Facial Steamer is a skincare must-have, especially if you mask or want to have glass skin.

When I want my neck and jawline to look especially snatched, I use the NuFace Trinity. While the results do not last overnight (IMO), I do see a major difference for the entire day.

Moisturize:

Eye creams technically fall under the skincare categories of treatment and moisturizer. Eye Creams was never a debate. If you are over 25, it does not hurt to try an eye cream. These are my Sephora Top 3 Eyecreams:

  1. To reduce dark circles and smooth your under-eye skin, try Shiseido Benefiance Wrinkle Smoothing Eye Cream.

  2. To firm your under eyes and reduce fine lines and wrinkles, try this eye cream from Sephora Collection.

  3. Puffy under eyes? This eye cream is fairly new to me. I enjoy the cooling formula and watching eyebags disappear!

It’s tough to narrow down my top 3 moisturizers but here they are:

  1. Dr. Dennis Gross Dewy Deep Cream - for brightening, firmness,Dr and a dewy finish.

  2. Tatcha Dewy Skin Cream - for deep moisture, blends easily and feels light.

  3. Drunk Elephant Bora Barrier Rich Repair - for skin replenishment and a compromised skin barrier.

Bath Products & Body Care

L’Occitane Shower Oil has been a long-time favorite and a hyped beauty product for good reason. You will find this shower oil especially beautiful if you have dry skin. It smells amazing and is very nourishing. If you prefer a nourishing bar soap, Fenty Soothing All-Over Cleansing Bar is an experience worth having!

You know if you have extra dry, eczema-prone skin, you know a soothing moisturizer is an important part of your routine. Hanni Water Body Moisturizer Mist is a new favorite that smells wonderful and is so easy to apply. If you like to keep your body moisturizer light, follow up with The Fatty Moisture Stick for Moisture Barrier on areas that need a little extra moisture and protection.

The best body lotion and body creams that I’ve enjoyed using for different reasons and I recommend them.

Top 5 Body Creams:

  1. Sephora Collection All Day Body Hydration

  2. Kiehl’s Ultra Body Mega Moisture Cream

  3. Augustinus Bader, The Body Cream

  4. L’Occitane Hydrating Almond Milk Body Moisturizer

  5. Bum Bum Firming Body Cream

Nu Face Trinity Tool and Dr. Dennis Gross LED mask are two of my favorite skincare tools.
