A mix of repurchases and a few things I had been wanting to try. I’ve been using everything for a few weeks now, which is usually enough time for me to know what I’ll actually keep reaching for.
• Cyklar In-Shower Body Oil Balm, Vanilla Verve
A repurchase for me. It leaves my skin soft and hydrated without adding an extra step, which is exactly why I keep buying it. I do go through it quickly, but I still like having it around.
• Yves Saint Laurent Lash Clash Latex Mascara
I really like this formula. It takes a little more work to build up than some mascaras, but the result is worth it. It gives that stretched, defined lash look without feeling heavy.
• Merit Signature Lip Sheer Lip Liner, Bespoke
The color is really pretty and easy to wear. This is the kind of product I reach for on lower effort makeup days because it adds a little shape and dimension without looking too done.
• Rhode Peptide Lip Boost Plumping Lip Mask
One of the standouts from the haul for me. The texture is plush and comfortable, and my lips still feel smooth and hydrated the next morning. I’ve been reaching for this constantly.
• Make Up For Ever HD Skin Hydra Glow Foundation, 2N26
A staple product for me at this point. It gives my skin that healthy, natural glow I’m always looking for. This is my warmer shade that I use in summer or mix into my lighter shade when I’m in between.
• NARS The Multiple Blush Stick, Hot Take
I had been wanting to try the reformulation and ended up really liking it. It blends easily and has a smoothing effect on the skin. The color is a vibrant peachy orange that feels perfect for late spring into summer for me.
• Phlur Vanilla Skin Eau de Parfum
Warm, cozy, and really easy to wear. It has enough depth to feel comforting without becoming too heavy or overly sweet.
Final thoughts
I try not to overbuy during sales, so I usually focus on products I already know I’ll use along with a few things I’ve genuinely been wanting to try. A few of these already feel like they’ve earned a spot in my regular rotation, which is usually the best sign for me that something was worth picking up.
