Clean Products You Need From Sephora’s Spring Sale
It’s that time of year – Sephora’s Spring Sale. I am a Sephora addict loving everything from their skincare to fragrance. I have tried an ample amount of products, so I can tell you what’s worth it and what you can get to find the best bang for your buck.
While looking for makeup, skincare, etc. I tend to look towards clean products. Clean products are so much easier on your skin. Simple ingredients for a simple beauty look, and a simple, glowy look is exactly what I strive for. So if that’s what you like as well, I highly recommend the products below.
Drunk Elephant Bronzing Drops
These are my holy grail to keep me look like i have some life to me. These aren’t clear drops like most on the market, but a bronze color with some shine that is perfect to mix into your moisturizer.
Kosas Skin Tint
I purchased this product last summer and have bought it ever since. If you have uneven skin/ redness and just want to even out your skin tone this is perfect. It’s super light which is great for the upcoming hot spring and summer months.
Caudalíe Detox Face Mask
This is a great face mask to use a few times a week to clean out your pores. I struggle with my pores and this makes a difference. It’s a clay mask and leaves my face feeling fresh and hydrated after I rinse it off.
Ilia Tinted Lip Oil
The most natural lip color you’ll ever wear. So light and natural, it feels like I have nothing on. Honestly if I could only have one lip product for the rest of my life, it would be this.
Sephora Collection Nourishing Moisturizer
I used to be a fan of the Drunk Elephant moisturizers, but they got too pricey to continue to purchase. This is the BEST dupe I have found. And even better – it is $17.
Summer Fridays Lip Butter
You know that Laneige lip balm treatment everyone raves about? This tops it. I approve, and my mom does too. The best lip balm I have and it has lasted forever, a little goes a long way.
Nécessaire Body Wash
Nothing makes me feel more clean than this body wash. All natural ingredients, so it is great to make sure you don’t break out anywhere on your body. Also I love that this is fragrance free, because I can apply any scent of perfume after showering without it being too overbearing.
Supergoop! Unseen Sunscreen
Wearing sunscreen is so important and something I am realizing as I get older. I wear this every day on my face after I apply my moisturizer, and it goes on great and doesn’t have a sunscreen smell. More of a matte, gel-like consistency.
Milk Lip & Cheek Stick
My favorite cream blush. This comes in a large and mini size, and sticks to my face like no other. Super blendable and since you can use it on your lips & cheeks, it creates a really cohesive look for your makeup.
Kosos Concealer
This concealer comes in so many shades and has great wear throughout the day. My favorite thing about this concealer is the fact that it has hyaluronic acid, so I don’t feel bad about putting this on my acne.
Clean Reserve Rain Fragrance
I am not really one for vanilla fragrances, especially in the summer. I love a clean, fresh and slightly floral scent and this is perfect. It smells fresh out of the bottle and smells more floral as the day goes on. The best of both worlds!
WOTW: April 12
As I prepare to work in the real world, my days are becoming more hectic & I need to remember that I am on the right path. You need to remember you’re on the right path, and everything will work out just the way it’s supposed to.
WOTW: March 16
Took a break last week, but back this week with plenty of words, style and more.
Want to know what’s been going on in my mind? Read these words.
WOTW: March 1
Spring has almost sprung! Even though it’s raining outside. And for me, rain = sluggish. Really needed these words to pick me up today, and they are the perfect start to a new week and a new month.
How are you going to better yourself this week?
WOTW: January 25
Last time I uploaded my words of the week on a Thursday… clearly I had no idea what day it was lol. This week, I’m getting myself back on track!

New Year Same Words
Happy 2021, 2020 sure was a year. While this was one of the most difficult years the world as faced as a whole in a long time, it pushed me to grow further than I could have ever imagined. Life hit me FAST, but in the best way possible. Through the ups and downs of 2020, I had a lot to learn. Each week I started my week off by choosing my words of the week – a task that kept me grounded. Quotes like “do it now, you’ll thank yourself in six months” and “things work out when you let them” really guided me to be my most authentic and positive self.
While I took a break from blogging, I picked up on my education and career. I needed a break to focus on my education and future plans, something that had been haunting me for months. Everything has since been sorted out, settled down, and is now ready for whatever life brings me. I am back in 2021, and what better place to start than with more words?
The words I chose are not just for this week, but for the year. These words are based off of topics I learned in 2020 and will carry with me into 2021. While yes, these are my words and I love to share them, I hope other people find their words. Find what will push you to your best self and let that motivate you through a new mindset and year.
