Top 12 Beauty & Skincare Favorites from Sephora
It’s Election Week, which means two things: We’re voting and we’re doubling down on selfcare. It’s going to be a loooong week (or month), and taking extra special care of our mental health and physical well-being is extra important right now. In a case of perfect timing, the beauty goddesses at SEPHORA are currently hosting their Holiday Savings Event. Save 10-20% off your favorite products!
Treat yourself to that luxe eye cream, soothing face tonic, or relaxing bath soak that you’ve added to your shopping cart but have never actually pulled the trigger on at checkout. It’s also a great time to stock up on holiday gifts if you have your life together and aren’t a procrastinator like the rest of us (#guilty). Below, check out our top 12 beauty and skincare picks from the Sephora sale and click through to shop!

1) Caudalie Micellar Cleansing Water
We love this gentle face cleanser made with grape water. Use it in the morning with a cotton pad to swipe the slumber away from your eyes and skin. It’s also great to use at night to take off eye makeup or wipe off the grime from your daily grind.
2) Herbivore Rose Hibiscus Hydrating Mist
Mist this delicate, rose-scented face spray on your skin after cleansing to tone or use it throughout the day to hydrate and replenish your skin. It’s a great pick-me-up after spending hours starting at your computer screen. We love to pack a mini size with us when we travel to use after flying or throughout the day when we’re sightseeing. It’s also refreshing for a day at the beach or the pool. In the winter, we like to use it during the day to combat parched skin from heaters and dry conditions.
3) Origins Mega-Mushroom Soothing Treatment Lotion
We can’t say enough good things about this magic mushroom tonic. Shake the bottle, pour a little into the palm of your hand, and gently pat the tonic over your skin after cleansing to help soothe, combat redness, and relieve sensitivity. We’re also addicted to the fresh, slightly woodsy scent.
4) Drunk Elephant Vitamin C Serum
We’re on a quest to find the best Vitamin C Serum on the market (great for brightening the skin and combatting dark spots), and this clean version by Drunk Elephant is our current fave. Pat one pump onto your face every morning after cleansing and toning; let it sit for a minute or two before applying moisturizer. Use any excess on the back of your hands or decolletage.
5) Tatcha Silk Peony Melting Eye Cream
We’ve tried a LOT of eye creams on the market, and we’ve been crushing on this dreamy, creamy eye cream by Tatcha for the past few months. It’s soft and smooth, and feels wonderful when applied to your eyelids and under eye area. Great for hydration and perking up your peepers.
6) Pat McGrath FetishEyes Mascara
We’ve got a major crush on this mascara. Legendary makeup artist Pat McGrath first tested this FetishEyes formula on models Hailey Bieber and Kaia Gerber before releasing it to the public, and let’s just say it does not disappoint when it comes to delivering glossy darkness that never clumps. If it’s good enough for Beiber and Gerber, it’s good enough for us.
7) GrandeBrow Eyebrow Enhancing Serum
Bold, fluffy brows a la Lily Collins or Cara Delevingne are our jam, but unfortunately we weren’t blessed with natural brows that wow. Enter this sleek little tube of eyebrow enhancing serum. We’ve been using it daily for the past year or so, and our brows seem thicker and fuller. It’s a little pricey for one tube, but it lasts for a few months and you can extend the life of your product by using it every other day or every few days after a couple of weeks of consecutive application.
Lip balm is our weakness (we can’t leave home without it), and at night we like to use a thick, heavy lip balm that keeps our pout hydrated until our alarm goes off. We like to dab this glossy, berry lip mask on before bed and always wake up with a little still on (so you know it does the trick). The subtle pink hue is also pretty for a hint of color and moisture during the day.
9) Herbivore Coconut Milk Bath Soak
We’re a sucker for a good hot soak at the end of the day, especially in the cold winter months. Pour a glass of wine, light a candle, and add this heavenly coconut milk bath soak to your tub for a blissfully relaxing, moisturizing experience.
10) GOOP Knock Me Out Sleep Chews
Having trouble sleeping with everything going on in the world? Yeah, us too. We pop one of these Gwyneth Paltrow-approved sleep chews before bed to help us drift away when our head hits the pillow. Bonus: They taste like mint chocolate so they’re basically a guilt-free bite of dessert.
11) Bumble & Bumble DrySpun Texture Spray
We like to use this volumizing texture spray to add life back to our second-day strands (or, ahem, third-day strands). Just spray throughout your tresses and brush through for extra oomph. The scent is also lovely, so it helps to refresh your strands, too.
12) Bumble & Bumble Save the Day Daytime Protective Repair Fluid
Our hair is extra dry during the winter, so we like to apply this protective repair fluid before blow drying to help add moisture and keep our strands shiny. The formula smells truly amazing (seriously, we’d wear this in a perfume), and it will leave your locks looking polished.
