Sephora Spring 2020 Sale | My top picks and recommendations

It's that time of year again for the highly anticipated VIB sale at Sephora. Since most of us are hunkered down at home I know for myself I have been spending less and maybe not taking the best care of my skin, or just feeling less motivated. Each year I look forward to this sale, but this year I am even more enthusiastic about. It's nice to treat yourself to sometimes and I'm taking this sale as an opportunity to do just that. Today I'll be sharing my top picks based off of products I have bough previously along with some recommendations including products I plan to buy this time around!

Skincare

You cannot go wrong with purchasing skincare sets, especially if you have wanting to try a particular brand for some time. This is a great way to try products as well as get a good sampling of how it can react to your skin type without committing to a full size. I have found many favorite products this way. I also continue to purchase these travel/mini sizes so I can try out more products since the they tend to last me well over  a month.

These sets are items I purchased in the past and some I still am using to this day that I HIGHLY recommend. These brands are some of my favorites and I find some of the best value in their sets. I also love the Sephora favorites when it comes to travel size products since you tend to get more:

These are items that I recommend based off of trying the brand previously and have on my wishlist and definite repurchases. I love the Drunk Elephant products and have been eying on trying more. Same goes with Glow Recipe - this is a great way to try more products for them. I'm new to Herbivore and haven't tried their skincare products. This set looks great so adding this to my list of recommendations:

Last recommendations in skincare are products that I have recently been loving currently. I use these products almost daily and my skin and lips  :

Makeup

I don't wear a ton of makeup, but I do love a pretty palette, a good highlighters, and of course, lipsticks! These products I wouldn't normally purchase at full price, or I can't quite justify since I don't wear as much, but I do like to take advantage of a product here or there. These are a few items I love that I have purchased over a few of these sales that I would highly recommend!

Here's some items that I have eyed or treat more as 'would be nice to have'. I definitely don't need these products, but I am loving these colors. Some I've been eying for more than a few years and still haven't pulled the trigger on, so who knows, maybe this is the year:

Perfume

Perfume is another product I highly recommend to purchase since they are definitely pricier and is a product that lasts for a while. My favorite brand of all time is Jo Malone and I would definitely recommend picking a few scents from them. Since we can't try on fragrances in stores and test scents, this brand is very true to the scent, are very simple, and you can't go wrong with their range and scent combinations. I am also a big fan of Fresh perfumes and enjoy their range as well. Below are some all time favorites from the brands above along with a few others including some mini sets as well:

Other products

Other items I would consider to purchase during the sale are beauty tools such as make-up brushes or sponges, hair tools, facial gadgets, and more since they're usually pricier, and you can save on items you need to replace, or add to your repertoire.

These are my top picks and recommendations for this Spring 2020 Sephora VIB sale. The sale started already for Rouge members, and for VIB - sale starts tomorrow, April 21, and Beauty Insiders start on the 23rd with different savings point. See below:
