Skincare and beauty products are not cheap so I like to take advantage of the Sephora Insiders Sale. It ends 11/11, next Monday, and depending on your level, you can get from 10 to 20% off everything. It’s free to join.
I try to keep a spare of the things that run out quickly (like eyebrow pencil and mascara) in a drawer.
Skincare Favorites
ISDIN Eryfotona Ageless Ultralight Tinted Mineral Sunscreen SPF 50
I always put this 50 SPF sunscreen on my face even if I don’t wear any other make-up (like to walk Chief).
Caudalie Vinoperfect Brightening Dark Spot Serum
This brightening serum combats the look of dark spots caused by sun (and age in my case), acne, or pregnancy. Visibly even skin tone, and helps improve skin’s glow.
I stocked up on Caudalie while in Paris (where it’s a little less expensive) in September…so this sale is good if you can’t get there.
Caudalie Resveratrol Lift Retinol Alternative Firming Night Moisturizer
A nourishing anti-aging cream that visibly firms, lifts, and redefines the facial contours overnight. I use it every night.
Make-up Favorites
Saie Slip Tint – Lightweight Tinted Moisturizer with Mineral Zinc SPF 35 and Hyaluronic Acid
My daughter turned me on to this tinted moisturizer. It has good coverage but doesn’t look like heavy makeup. It’s the first thing I put on.
DIOR Rosy Glow Blush
You don’t need much but it gives you the appearance of naturally rosy cheeks for a fresh, glowy effect.
NARS Powermatte Lip Pigment
Color: American Woman – chestnut rose. With my lips losing pigment, I like this as it stays on quite a while. It’s been my favorite for a while.
Usually, I put a creamier hydrating lipstick on top like:
Rare Beauty by Selena Gomez
Kind Words Matte Lipstick
Fenty Beauty by Rihanna
Pro Filt’r Soft Matte Longwear Powder Foundation
This takes the shine off my nose. Color 185. “A light-as-air longwear powder foundation that gives you light-to-full coverage with a soft matte finish.”
Benefit Cosmetics
Goof Proof Waterproof Easy Shape & Fill Eyebrow Pencil
My eyebrows are thin and have a lot of white now. This pencil is easy to use and fills in nicely. I’ve tried others but keep coming back to this one.
Benefit Cosmetics
Mini BADgal BANG! Volumizing Mascara
This is a good trial size. Let me know how you like it!
And one more thing that I love when I want a little more eye definition…
ONE/SIZE by Patrick Starrr
Point Made Waterproof Liquid Eyeliner Pen
This is another easy to apply eyeliner!
Those are the products that I re-order especially on sale!

Hi Mary Ann! So fun to see your suggestions. I also like the Saie sunscreen and I will try your mascara. Caudaulie has good things! I also have a similar blush color. So good right? x
Are any of these clean beauty products???
That is a very good question. I know that at least the Saie tinted moisturizer and the Caudelie are.

Hi neighbor! I live in Gainesville! I used to love Benefit’s Bad Gal Lash mascara. Absolutely loved it but it was discontinued. I’ve had a really hard time finding something else. Seems like most clump and flake. I’d like to see individual lashes instead of having them all stuck together in a goopy mess. I’ll follow the comments here to see if there are other suggestions. For now I’m making do with the Bad Gal Bang.
Hi Janet. I also like Westman Atelier but it’s sort of expensive.
