It’s that time of year again. I have Sephora VIB recommendations for you. I hope you’re ready for them! Normally during these sales I recommend stocking up on staples, such as eyeshadow primers, lip balm, and moisturizers. I also recommend getting big ticket items like skincare brushes. And of course, as an eyeshadow addict, I’d recommend some eyeshadow palettes. I also picked out some of the beauty sets that I like too. All brands are cruelty free. Items that I know are vegan are marked as vegan.

Big Ticket Items

1. Foreo Luna

I LOVE my Foreo Luna. It’s good for both cleansing the face gently as well as using on pressure points to relieve sinus pressure. You can use it to give yourself a facial massage too. See my review.

2. Foreo Luna Mini

They now make the Luna in mini size. It’s sooo adorable! Plus, there’s a purple option.

3. Clarisonic Mia

My original Clarisonic Mia is still going strong years after purchasing it. Ray uses it (I use the Foreo Luna). It comes in a ton of pretty colors now too.

4. ghd Bird of Paradise Lagoon

This is stunning flat iron featuring ceramic heat technology and floating plates.

5. Curl Styler

This must-have Curl Styler works on all hair textures and types to create a stunning curl with a glossy finish. A patent-pending curl chamber gently draws the hair in and heats it from all directions to form a perfect curl every time.

6. T3 Whirl Trio Interchangeable Styling Wand

A set of three interchangeable barrels to effortlessly create countless looks—from defined spiral curls to beachy waves to full-body glamour waves and everything in between.

7. Tria Age-defying Laser Essentials Kit

A limited-edition kit featuring the Age-Defying Laser, Priming Cleanser, Finishing Serum, and travel case. The Age-Defying Laser uses the same laser technology used by dermatologists and plastic surgeons. It supports the natural collagen renewal process that dramatically reduces the look of key signs of aging including fine lines, wrinkles, and imperfections.

Staple Beauty Products

An air-proof dispensing system preserves the strength of the actives while allowing precise dosage to consumer in each application. I’m loving this stuff!

This is my favorite lip balm with SPF.
