My Recommendations:
Skincare:
Youth to the People SuperBerry Hydrate and Glow Dream Oil- Very hydrating and won't clog pores. Perfect to mix into moisturizer for added hydration.
First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Cream- Works for almost everyone, pumps moisture into the skin, and soothes chapped, irritated skin.
Paula's Choice Skin Perfecting 2% BHA Liquid Exfoliant- An amazing gentle, liquid exfoliant. Sloughs off dead skin cells and fights acne.
Paula's Choice Youth Extending Daily Hydrating Fluid- Hands down my favorite sunscreen.Doesn't leave a white cast, absorbs almost instantly, won't clog pores, and isn't greasy. It wears beautifully under makeup, too. (I have one on my bathroom counter and two boxed up in my bathroom cabinet.)
Haircare:
Dae Monsoon Moisture Mask- Smells AMAZING, is a clean + cruelty free products, and is so hydrating and luxurious.
Dyson Super Sonic Hair Dryer- One of the best beauty decisions I ever made was buying this hair dryer. A major time saver for those who have thick hair - this is a must.
Olaplex No. 3 Hair Protector- An oldie but a goodie. It repairs breakage and strengthens damaged hair. I always see and feel a difference after using this.
Bumble and Bumbler Hair Dresser's Invisible Oil Heat and UV Protective Primer- My favorite heat protectant and is light enough for fine hair.
Invisibobble Hair Ties- Keeps hair off of your face without damaging it like traditional hair ties. They're also more comfortable to wear and they last a lot longer than a standard hair tie.
Face:
Ilia Super Serum Skin Tint- I haven't been able to shut up about this product since I started using it over a year ago. Always a repeat purchase.
Shiseido Syncro Skin Self-Refreshing Foundation- Perfect for heavier makeup days and leaves the skin looking fresh and airbrushed.
Makeup Forever Ultra HD Concealer- Leaves the skin looking like skin, medium coverage, is self-setting (you don't need to set with a powder), and comes in so many different shades.
Hourglass Veil Translucent Setting Powder- If you find that the Laura Mercier setting powder is too drying, try this one! It's light and hydrating and sets your makeup in place.
Eyes:
Bobbi Brown Long-wear Cream Eyeshadow Stick- Comes in matte and shimmer shades, blends like a dream, and does not crease.
Ilia Fullest Volumizing Mascara- Creates gorgeous full lashes, is clean, and does not transfer or run.
Becca Under Eye Corrector- Corrects dark circles and discoloration. Is literally a magic product.
Brows:
Benefit 24 Hour Brow Setter- A clear gel that gives a beautiful, brushed up brow that stays in place all day.
Micro-Stroking Detailing Brow Pen- Creates micro, hair-like strokes to fill in sparse areas of the brow for a very natural look.
Lips:
Bite Beauty Agave Lip Mask- Incredibly hydrating and clean.
Makeup Forever Artist Color Pencil: Try shade 'Anywhere Caffeine' for the perfect nude lip liner. I love using shade 'Whenever Walnut' on clients with fair skin and 'Endless Cacao' to create a 90's super model lip.
Pat McGrath Lust Gloss- Highly pigmented and not too sticky. I love the shade 'Dare to Bare'.
Tools:
Shiseido eyelash curler- The superior eyelash curler. It will curl the shortest, straightest lashes.
Products I am going to buy during the sale:
Armani Luminous Silk Foundation (definitely late to the part on this one)
