the 411 on the sephora sale: mandy’s favorites

Ah, the first of November—Sephora’s most exciting time of the year is nearly upon us. The holiday sale kicks off soon, and while the lineup of products can feel endless, I’m here to streamline the essentials and help you score on the cult classics that’ll make your skin, lips, and cheeks shine this season.

Now, let’s start with the pièce de résistance in my beauty arsenal: Dior’s Rosy Glow Blush. This blush doesn’t just live on my vanity; it owns it. One swipe on your cheeks and you’re transported to that perfect, flushed look that makes you look and feel alive. It’s universally flattering, so you’ll find it looks just as good during a brunch glow as it does at midnight.

Moving on, we have the holy grail of moisturizers, Augustinus Bader’s The Rich Cream. Yes, she’s an investment—but what other cream is going to give you that velvety, lit-from-within look, while feeding your skin a 360-degree dose of moisture and nutrients? If you’re adding anything big-ticket to your cart, make it this.

And then, of course, lipstick! You know I can’t resist the stuff. Right now, I’m obsessed with Makeup by Mario’s lipsticks, the new Valentino lipsticks, and always, Charlotte Tilbury’s ride or die lipsticks like KKW.

So, whether you’re looking to stock up on your skincare saviors or find a few new lipstick loves, the Sephora sale is prime time. Add these to your wishlist now; they’ll be flying off the (virtual) shelves. Happy shopping, beauty lovers!
