Sephora Holiday Bonus Beauty Insider Sale Picks

Posted on November 9, 2018June 13, 20195min read

Sephora Holiday Bonus Beauty Insider Sale Picks | She Sweats DiamondsHappy Friday, friends! Last week, I shared details on the Sephora Holiday Bonus Beauty Insider Event and what products I’ve tried. This week, I wanted to share with you my picks from the Beauty Insider Sale!

When I have unlimited play money, this is what I’d haul (and more because let’s face it, I’m a beauty addict, haha!). Let’s get started!

FACE MAKEUP

LAURA MERCIER Translucent Loose Setting Powder Glow – I’ve heard so much about this setting powder over the years. If Maybelline ever stops making my favorite loose powder, I’ll dry my tears wit- I mean, start using this powder.

NARS Hot Tryst Cheek Palette – After following Marianna on her Bora Bora adventures this past week, I’m loving the Nars brand more than ever. If I could haul one thing from this Beauty Insider Sale, it’d be this palette. Sadly, it’s out of stock. However, you can bet that I’ll be watching for a restock like a hawk! 

MARC JACOBS BEAUTY The Bronze – Bronzer Brush No. 12 – Because it’s #MarcJacobs and because I love their Face III Buffing Foundation Brush already so why not build my beauty tools collection with this gorgeous makeup bronzer brush?

ESTÉE LAUDER Double Wear Stay-in-Place Foundation – I heard SO much about this foundation that I swatched it when I stopped in Nordstrom a few months ago. Stay in place is right because this foundation stayed put on my hand. I tried to rub it off to test it and it didn’t budge!

CHARLOTTE TILBURY Airbrush Flawless Finish Setting Powder – Another sold-out-I-am-watching-for-a-restock-like-crazy product. I love her lipsticks so I thought I’d branch into her face makeup!


EYES

NARS Soft Matte Complete Concealer – I love their radiant creamy concealer already so this would be fun to test!

YVES SAINT LAURENT All Hours Concealer – Considering I’m a loyal user of their Touche Eclat pens, this concealer would be fun to test on those long days I have coming up! What do you guys think? Have you tried this concealer?

TOO FACED Born This Way Super Coverage Multi-Use Sculpting Concealer – I just started using Too Faced products this past year and since this had great reviews, why not?

URBAN DECAY Naked Cherry Eyeshadow Palette – Again, it’s URBAN DECAY! This team can do no wrong when it comes to their eyeshadow products! I think this palette is PERFECT to take me through the fall, winter and holiday seasons!

NARS Atomic Blonde Eye & Face Palette – Because #NeutralsForTheWin! Duh.


LIPS

PAT MCGRATH LABS LUST: Mini MatteTrance™ Trio – I didn’t get a chance to order this set as it sold out, but I’m going to see if I can find it in the Skin Show shades: Omi, 1995, and Flesh 3 in stores. Wish me luck! 

NARS Velvet Matte Lipstick Pencil – It’s been a long time since I’ve used lipstick pencils so I plan on swatching some in-store to see the colors in person.

YVES SAINT LAURENT Rouge Pur Couture Limited Edition Lipstick – I saw this lipstick in 70- Le Nu – basic nude in person and the finish is beautiful! Most definitely the next lipstick from YSL I’ll be purchasing. Fun fact: YSL was the first high-end designer beauty brand I purchased from!

CHARLOTTE TILBURY Hollywood Lips Liquid Lipstick – I don’t wear much red, but CT’s Screen Siren, which is a classic ruby red color, is so beautiful and absolutely perfect for the holidays!

CHARLOTTE TILBURY Lip Cheat Lip Liner – Since I love her lipsticks already, a lip liner (in Pillow Talk) is a must, right?


SKINCARE

SUMMER FRIDAYS Overtime Mask – I haven’t used a face scrub in years and this product is next on my list!
 
FARMACY Green Clean Makeup Meltaway Cleansing Balm with Echinacea GreenEnvy™  – I can’t say I’ll ever switch over to clean beauty 100%, but I’m not opposed to adding clean beauty products to my bathroom cabinet like this cleansing balm.
 
LANEIGE Multi Cleanser  – K-beauty is something I’ve dabbled in this last year and I’m loving it! I’m a huge fan of Laneige’s Water Sleeping Mask and Moisture Bank Cream so why not try their cleanser?

SAND & SKY Australian Pink Clay Porefining Face Mask – Pink packaging and pore-related product? Yes, please. Hey, Sand & Sky, I love you already!

TATCHA Pure One Step Camellia Cleansing Oil – Another Asian beauty brand I adore and I don’t care if my addiction grows out of control after trying this cleansing oil!


HAIR

CHRISTOPHE ROBIN Cleansing Purifying Scrub with Sea Salt – I sometimes get dandruff so this was a unique product to find as I’ve never heard of a scrub for hair before!

BRIOGEO Don’t Despair, Repair!™ Deep Conditioning Mask – I love that this comes in three different sizes. Try before you buy, you know?

AMIKA Polished Perfection Straightening Brush – Their dry shampoo is ah-mazing so I’m definitely not opposed to using this brush/straightener hybrid. Could this be the end of spending lots of time doing my hair? If so, this is the one tool I’d haul from the Beauty Insider Sale for sure!

RAHUA Leave-In Treatment – Another clean beauty brand for hair and since I don’t used a ton of leave-in treatments, this might be worth a shot.

KÉRASTASE Discipline Cream for Curly Hair – I heard so much about the Kerastase brand. Because my hair is hard to tame, I think this cream might do the trick! And the fact that the word ‘discipline’ is part of the products name, makes it SO relatable, ha!

What are you eyeing from the Sephora Beauty Insider Sale?

Let me know if you get anything so I can nerd out with you!

Sorry for getting this post up so late! I had it scheduled to go live this morning, but Sephora had shut down their website for updates so I couldn’t finish it on time. Wishing you all a wonderful weekend! 

Note: Any product that I’ve mentioned that I love, I purchased myself. I was not gifted these products nor was I compensated or asked to review these products by Sephora or any (beauty) brand. All opinions are solely my own.

A late Father’s Day post because after 14 years, there’s not much more you can express than:
✨I love you so much.
✨I miss you, ba.
✨I wish you were here.
✨Happy Father’s Day!
✨I love and miss you more than you know.

I spent the weekend honoring my daddy while making memories with my dad number two (my bestie’s dad).

Tom & Jerry was one of my daddy’s favorite cartoons so I watched a few episodes in his memory.

Then I went to dinner with my second dad and bestie and after that, he taught us how to install a ceiling fan.

The crazy part is that I know my daddy would’ve been so proud if he were there with us — he was a huge advocate of formal and informal education.

Don’t worry, dad. You should see all the manly things I know how to do (shingle a roof and change a tire are just a few) and all the books I’ve read, and podcasts I’ve listened to.😆
Happy Father’s Day in Heaven! I love you!🌸

What’s the best business advice you’ve ever been given?

I had one of my weekly mentorship calls last night and wrote down a major gold nugget I wanted to share with you: “If you don’t have returns in your business, it’s not big enough.”

Wow.

When you think about it, Target gets returns all the time and they don’t pout about it. They move on and keep the business up and running.

When someone makes a return, it has nothing to do with your self-worth and who you are.

If you own a business, join me and let this part of being an entrepreneur go so we can focus on growing personally and professionally.

Tell me in the comments below the best business advice you’ve ever been given!👇🏼

I shared my thoughts on this last year and will continue to share until people as a collective understand the true meaning of #MemorialDay.

Coming from a military family, I know very well that Memorial Day is NOT a happy day; it’s why I don’t say “Happy Memorial Day!”

It’s also not about sales, being poolside, grilling, or having an extra “vacation” day. 

It’s about remembering those who made the ultimate sacrifice so we can have the freedoms we have today.

To me, it’s also about sending immense gratitude and love to the families who have lost their loved ones because no matter how much time has passed, the void will always be present.

Last year, I shared the story about my grandfather on my mom’s side. This year, I want to share my dad’s story.

When my brother and I were young, my dad took us to a helicopter expo. He worked in aviation and asked us if we wanted to go. We said yes because we wanted to get a glimpse of his passion.

Of course, as kids, we climbed in and out of so many helicopters that day. While standing in one huge helicopter, I looked out and told my dad, “Daddy! Come up here! You have to see this! It’s so cool in here!” to which he yelled up, “It’s okay, honey! I’ll wait for you both right out here!”

I can’t remember if it was later that week or how much time had passed. One day, we’re sitting in the living room watching TV and my dad says out of the blue, “Honey, you know why I didn’t get on the helicopter with you and your brother?”

“No, daddy. I thought it was too crowded for you.”

“I have bad memories from the war.”

I asked him what happened and it turns out he was in a helicopter crash and watched his friends die beside him.

I couldn’t believe it.

And to think he had carried those memories for so long.

Most people may never tell stories like this because it’s too painful. Even though he’s passed for 14 years now, I can’t imagine how many more stories/moments like that died with him that I (my family and the world) will never know.

Families of those who made the ultimate sacrifice and those alive today who witnessed the thin line between life and death are why I believe saying thank you will never be enough.♥️🇺🇸🙏🏼

To my grandma who is halfway across the world, I thank God immensely because it all began with you.

Thank you for encouraging your daughter to come to America to live a better life.

Because of your sacrifices, I get to have my most precious gift and cherish her with every fiber of my being. I love you so much.

Mom, thank you for your courage and bravery to come to America with nothing except a knitted handbag and coat on your back.

Thank you for passing on your wisdom and teaching me about emotional intelligence before EQ even became a thing.

Thank you for teaching me that you’re never too old to learn about anything.

Thank you for always reminding me to not stress or worry.

Thank you for always making sure I have food even when I’m full.

Thank you for making me laugh endlessly.

And mom, don’t think I don’t notice that you put the best pieces of food on my plate instead of yours.

My word, I am so incredibly and abundantly blessed to have a mom like you! 

I love you SO much, mẹ! God, you broke the mold when You made her!

Another year without you. It’s hard to believe you left us 14 years ago.

Sometimes I wonder what our conversations would be like if you were still with us…if you’d already be retired or still be doing what you loved, what you’d think of world events, and if you’d finally come to a place where you could tell us stories from the war.

No matter what, I’m going to keep your memory alive. I love and miss you, daddy!

Happy Easter Weekend, loves!

Spent today reflecting on Christ’s love for us and I’m still in awe that until we meet Him, we still won’t understand the magnitude of His love.

Tonight, I’ll be making my return to the gym after two long years!!!

So happy I got clearance from my chiropractor to lift weights again!

Not going to lie, I’m nervous, but I’m more excited because I’ve missed it so much.

I hate having to start all over again, but to know that I GET to work out is such a huge blessing!

Y’all know I love my @apl, so what better way to celebrate than a new, neutral-colored pair of workout shoes?

Goodbye winter!!! Don’t take it personally…I used to love you.

I just prefer sunny walks, flowers and trees blooming, baby ducks swimming, and birds chirping.

Don’t worry. Unlike Ross and Rachel, I have it on record that we’re officially on a break. 

Not sure if I hate your ice storms more or tornado warnings (like the one we just had just now).😑

How do you take your coffee — iced or hot?

Iced all year round for me.🧊

Oh and whoever invented bean water, thank you. You became a hero the day you threw some beans into hot water and created this magical elixir.
