All the Can’t-Miss Deals ELLE Editors Are Shopping Before Sephora’s Spring Sale Ends

“This setting spray doubles as my mid-day touch-up hydrating mist. The spout dispenses the product evenly and gives my makeup a refreshed, natural finish, never overly dewy. I’m still using the mini size that I’ve had for months, so a little goes a long way.”—Nerisha Penrose, beauty commerce editor

“I wear lip liner around the clock, whether I’m in full makeup or not. My requirement for a good liner is simple: It should be a dark enough shade of brown that looks almost black and lasts all day. As someone who has always favored eyebrow or eyeliner formulas instead of traditional liners (a makeup artist once told me that eye formulas tend to last longer), I rarely buy them—unless they’re from Make Up For Ever. Technically, this still counts as an eyeliner, which is why I have the Artist Color Pencil in black, two dark browns, and one cool brown. I use the Sephora sales to stock up, so I always have one in all my bags.”—NP

“If it’s good enough for Beyoncé, it’s good enough for me. When I learned this was the setting spray her makeup artist, Rokael Lizama, used to lock in her face for the Renaissance and Cowboy Carter Tours, I had to give it a try. It has a continuous spray for full, even coverage and a matte finish, which is great for me since my skin runs oily. I do my face first thing in the morning before heading to the office, then go straight to evening events with little time for touch-ups. It keeps everything in its place in a way that sometimes surprises me when I catch a glimpse in the mirror towards the end of the night.”—Heath Owens, deputy editor, commerce

“Haus Labs’s foundation is my holy grail, but these blush balm sticks are the brand’s sleeper hit! It’s buildable and blends into the skin so seamlessly—I’ve been wearing it almost every day, it looks great with and without other makeup. It has a dewy finish, so I use it all over my cheeks, temples, the bridge of my nose, and cupid’s bow for a sun-kissed effect. It’s been my go-to recommendation for friends and family looking to spice up their routine.”—HO

“Chocolate brown was everything last fall, and I’m turning to brown eye looks again for spring in lieu of harsh blacks. These mini palettes are so easy to use, it literally takes me two minutes to do my eyeshadow because the colors are rich and pigmented and don’t require much building or blending. It’s the perfect size for travel, too.”—HO

“After too many failed attempts at trying to gently remove my self-installed lash clusters, I’m left with sparse lashes. I’ve never tried a lash serum before, but Grande Cosmetics has one of the best on the market, according to industry peers. Here’s to regrowing my lashes back healthily—and hopefully, speedily.”—NP

“This is the lip gloss boss of all lip glosses! It looks good when I wear it alone or layer it over lipstick. I love how it’s not sticky and gives my lips a full, juicy look. It’s also a great moisturizer; whenever I apply it to my dry lips, it instantly softens and heals any chapping. It’s a 10/10 for me, and I’ll be stocking up on the new shades I haven’t tried yet!”—SBH

“Since discovering Kulfi’s staining lip liner in Jaan, I haven’t reached for anything else. It’s the perfect “my lips but better” shade for me, and the color truly lasts for hours. Unlike other staining lip liners that leave a harsh, opaque line, this one has an elegant, creamy texture that lets me blend and feather the color to fill in my lip. This, paired with the brand’s Lassi Lips Staining Lip Oil, is my current go-to long-lasting, hydrating lip combo that I carry with me everywhere.”—AR

“This lip oil has become my go-to lippie for everyday use. I love how soft and moisturized it makes my lips feel. The shimmer also gives it a glossy, juicy-looking effect, so I like to layer it over lipsticks for extra shine.”—Shauna Beni-Haynes, senior editor, commerce

“Hint: Sephora’s sale is the time to stock up on designer products that never go on sale. You want to be wise with your beauty investments (why overspend for a formula that you could get from another brand?), but I haven’t found a complexion product yet that dupes this one. It’s sorcery in a bottle. It gives my skin a lit-from-within glow and has such a soft, cushiony texture. I usually wear it on its own, but you can also layer it under foundation for full glam.”—HO

“I also replenish my SPF lineup; right now, Innbeauty Project’s Mineral Sun Glow SPF 43 tinted sunscreen offers just enough coverage to skip foundation altogether. It’s one of the few all-mineral sunscreens that feels weightless on my skin and doesn’t break me out.”—AR

“My LED masks (yes, plural) became an integral part of my nighttime routine, and I’ve seen progress while using Shark’s CryoGlow and Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare’s DRx SpectraLite FaceWare Pro—both of which are ELLE-backed picks. I’ve been using the CryoGlow more lately because of its built-in cooling eye pads, which help mitigate my allergy symptoms. Although Shark’s CryoGlow is a bit clunkier, I actually don’t mind it because it forces me to lie down, close my eyes, and meditate for several minutes—an unintended wellness hack for those with a glass-half-full perspective.”—AR

“I’ve been using these Daily Peel Pads since high school, and at 30, they’re still my go-to for breakouts and resetting my skin when it’s looking dull or uneven. These two-step peel pads, soaked in AHAs and BHAs, have been an integral part of my routine for fading dark spots without further irritating my skin. I use them once or twice a week as an exfoliating pick-me-up, so this value size with 60 treatments actually lasts a really long time.”—Anvita Reddy, editor, commerce

“When I’m prepping my skin before makeup application, these eye patches are the first thing I reach for. They truly do wonders in brightening my dark circles, giving me a hydrated, more refreshed look. The design featuring the tiny logo is also uber cute! and makes me feel even more luxurious while doing my skin care routine.”—SBH

“I love to douse myself in these body butters daily and keep one in my travel beauty bags at all times. This set highlights the best three in Josie Maran’s full lineup, which pair exceptionally well with my daily scent layering. Plus, it imparts a subtle glow, perfect for the upcoming summer months.”—NP

“I love a vanilla scent, but as we approach summer, I think it’s only fair to find a new fragrance that leans a little more floral. That’s exactly why I’m excited to have the Viktor&Rolf Flowerbomb Eau de Parfum in my arsenal. With notes of vanilla, orange blossom, and jasmine, the scent is flirty, feminine, and perfectly floral for warm weather.”—Emma Aerin Becker, associate beauty e-commerce writer

“I can’t live without my FlexStyle, and I even got an extra one specifically for travel (I keep my bedazzled one at home). Its ergonomic flip design is so convenient for blow-drying my hair, and I love using the round-brush attachment for bounce and a salon-quality blowout. I’ve used the FlexStyle for several years now, and not only has it held up and been as powerful as ever, but I’ve noticed less damage while using this compared to a traditional hair dryer.”—AR

“Every Sephora sale is an opportunity for me to restock my pre-wash hair oils for my weekly scalp massages, and lately, I’ve been especially into the luxe jasmine scent of Indē Wild’s Champi Oil. It hydrates my scalp and hair, leaving it shiny and soft once I wash it out.”—AR

“A First Class Beauty Award-winner for a reason, this hair mask repairs and helps prevent damage for immediately softer, stronger, more hydrated hair. Simply apply before shampooing and leave on for three minutes before continuing your regular shower routine.”—EB

“This lightweight formula detangles, hydrates, protects against heat, and strengthens strands with Alpha Keratin, a form of protein used to smooth and reduce frizziness. After a few sprays and light styling, I experienced shiny, healthy-looking hair that lasted multiple days.”—EB

“Pricey, yes, but I can’t style my hair without this tool. I’ve never used a more powerful blow dryer, nor have I gotten as many compliments on my blowouts. With interchangeable heads, every style from curls to straight strands is easy to achieve.”—EB
