Ahh, you smell that? Smells like another Sephora sale!
That’s right. It’s the first major Sephora sale for 2025. This sale kicked off last night and will run until Sunday the 23rd. So, what are the stipulations for this sale? It’s 20% with a minimum spend of $140. 15% off with no minimum spend.
Now, there have been a ton of new launches at Sephora as of late. And it’s been a minute since I last did a recommendations post. So, these are my current picks for the sale.
*Em’s Note* Consider this your annual reminder. Please don’t feel the need to just spend for the sake of the sale. Sephora does these sales all the time throughout the year. So you’re definitely not missing out on anything if you sit this one out. Please shop responsibly.

HUDA BEAUTY ICY NUDE EYESHADOW PALETTE – $119.00
Huda really ended her big palette tradition with a bang. This palette really has every neutral matte you could possibly need. And those shimmers and metallics are so buttery and smooth. It’s frosty fun in a palette.

FENTY SKIN FENTY TREATZ HYDRATING + STRENGTHENING LIP OIL – $37.00
I feel like the Fenty Skin line is fairly underrated as far as the Fenty range goes. And I hear almost nobody talking about the lip oils. So, let this be your sign to grab one. Because these are so smoothing and nourishing on the lips. I have the shade Dragon Fruit and I adore it. And if you’re worried about the taste, speaking for Dragon Fruit, it’s very light and inoffensive.

MARC JACOBS DAISY GLOW EDT – $127.00 for 50ml
I bet you thought I was going to shout out the newest Kayali. I wanted to give another perfume it’s flowers for this post. And Daisy Glow is such an stunning addition to the iconic Daisy like. With notes of Strawberry, Marigold, Violet, and Vanilla. It’s light, fresh, and perfect for any occasion.

LANEIGE CREAM SKIN CERAPEPTIDE TONER & MOISTURISER – $50.00
Man, I remember hating this when I first tried it back in 2019. I just didn’t see the point of it. Now that I’m in my mid 30’s and my skin is drier, I crave this. This is the nourishing secret weapon in my night time skincare routine. It’s a best seller for a reason.

K18 PEPTIDE PREP DETOX SHAMPOO – $59.00
Before I get too far into this, I should point out that K18 is often excluded from Sephora sales. If that is the case, then Adore Beauty is doing 15% off K18. If it is included, then this might be my current favourite clarifying shampoo and you all need to try it. This shampoo has charcoal in the formula. Which I love for drawing out oils from the scalp. I also find this one to not be as stripping as the Olaplex Clarifying shampoo. I use this fortnightly and it’s made a world of a difference for my scalp and my hair health.

RARE BEAUTY SOFT PINCH LIQUID CONTOUR – $49.00
In the off chance that the K18 is excluded, I wanted at least one more option. And I suspect that this will be a big seller during the sale. I’ve now had this for a minute and I have to say, I like this much more than the internet would have you believe. Does it pull too warm to be a true contour? Yes. But that’s what I personally like about it. My preferred tone is something more neutral. And this shade (Mellow) is made for my skin tone. I recommend trying it for yourself.
And those are my picks for the sale. As is tradition, this is what I’m picking up!
