My Tried and True Daily Makeup Routine Products (Inspired by the Spring Sephora Sale)

The amount of influencers/bloggers talking about the Sephora Sale right now would make you think that there are crazy good deals, but in actuality it's just 10-20% depending on what level of loyalty you hold. While many people end up spending money they wouldn't have spent in the first place thinking they are getting a deal, I think the sale serves a good way to smartly stock up on your essential products or try a new product you actually need (like if you need a new mascara, trying the one I recommend). So, if you are in the market for a new product in any of the below categories, I'm sharing the tried and true products from my daily routine — most are available at Sephora and some aren't (I'll indicate which ones are). I also included a infographic from Sephora that shows all the dates/discounts broken down by tier! I'm pretty sure you can get the lowest tier (10%) just by signing up for their emails and becoming a "Beauty Insider"!

Eyes

Benefit They're Real Mascara (Sephora)

The #1 question I get asked about my makeup is my mascara! I've been using this one from Benefit for years and it's the best I've ever tried. It essentially doubles the length of my eyelashes.

Lorac Pro Eyeshadow Palette

This one puts the Naked palettes to shame. For basically the same price, you get more 4 more shades and it consists of 50/50 matte and shimmer high quality shadows.

Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Pencil (Sephora)

I started buying this brow product a couple of years ago after suffering with a really crappy drugstore liner for years. The very fine tip allows for very precise application and blends in very nicely with the rest of my brow. 

Stila Liquid Eye Liner (Sephora)

I only wear liquid eyeliner at night, for events or when taking blog photos but when I do, I wear this one. Basically every friend I have that's borrowed this from me has gone out and purchased it for themselves because it's so great ;) The pen tip application is so precise and opaque.

Face

Nars Soft Matte Complete Concealer (Sephora)

I used to use the Nars Radiant Creamy Concealer (tube) but switched to this one (which comes in a pot) because it's even more full coverage. Both last all day and blend with my skin very well. I have really dark, puffy under eyes so the more full coverage, the better. 

Pur Minerals Redness Correcting Primer (Ulta)

I have literally been using this product since Freshman year of high school if that tells you anything about how good it is. I have bad rosacea on my face and it has worked miracles in covering it up. I've tried drug store versions and nothing even comes close to working as well. I use it on my cheeks, nose and chin before applying powder foundation over. Don't be intimidated by the green tint — it cancels out the redness and your foundation will cover up the color! 

Neutrogena Healthy Skin Pressed Powder (Drugstore)

I don't use a liquid foundation, only this powder one. I love it because it's full coverage and stays all day. I burn through powder foundation very fast so it would be super expensive to buy high end powder. This one works just as well as the ones that are double the price anyway. 

Lips

Urban Decay Vice Matte Lipstick in 'Backtalk'

This is the only lip product (besides chapstick) I use lol. I don't really like changing up my lip color, I spent years trying to find the perfect color and now that I've found it, I stick to it. It's not just the color — the lipstick is smooth and long lasting too! I included a random selfie below that shows off the color really well for reference.
