Everything you need to know about the Sephora Savings Event
Beauty Insiders can save up to 20% on beauty, skin care, hair care and more during Sephora’s 11-day sale event.
Since receiving this eye cream from Biossance, NBC Select commerce editor Lindsay Schneider says she’s been loving its formula. She likes that the applicator has a cooling effect that soothes her delicate under eyes, plus how well the cream absorbs into her skin. “My makeup doesn’t cake on top of it and the moisture surge genuinely seems to last me through an entire day without any flakes or dryness,” says Schneider. The eye cream has niacinamide and vitamin C to brighten dark areas and caffeine to help reduce puffiness, according to the brand.
Schneider has been “on a mission to find the best brown mascara,” and this option from Tower 28 is one of her favorites. The mascara gives her lashes a natural look, and has a curved applicator that she says makes it easy to evenly apply. “This never clumps and just looks astonishingly fresh and not heavy,” she says.
NBC Select commerce editor Cory Fernandez loves the Glossier You Eau de Parfum, but says this mini solid perfume is the perfect size for a purse or pocket. “It’s extremely fragrant but not overpowering and it doesn’t have a greasy finish,” he says. The perfume has a warm and spicy scent with notes of pink pepper that’s great for everyday wear, and Fernandez also likes that it’s easy to put on his wrists and neck without it feeling oily.
NBC Select updates editor Mili Godio says this is “one of the best sunscreens [she’s] ever tried.” Since she has very sensitive, rosacea-prone skin, most chemical sunscreens irritate her skin, while mineral formulas leave her with a pale white cast — however, she says this one is the perfect balance of non-irritating and totally invisible. “Plus, it leaves my skin feeling softer and looking brighter than before,” she says.
Godio, who loves vanilla scents, says this Josie Maran body butter is one of her all-time favorites. “The scent lasts all day on my skin and the cream itself is so smooth and lightweight, so it never leaves that uncomfortable sticky feeling,” she says. It has shea butter and avocado oil for deep hydration, and argan oil to help skin stay firm, according to the brand. I also love using this cream after a warm, evening shower, since the scent is relaxing and subtle enough to not cling to my bed sheets.
“As someone who has dark under-eye circles, I know the struggle of caking on concealer and getting barely any coverage,” says Godio, who swears by this Kosas color corrector. Although she’s tried many color correctors in the past, she says very few actually cover up the darkness under her eyes like this one. “Since I have very dry under eyes, I love that this corrector is lightweight, so it doesn’t cake up and cause unsightly dry patches,” she says.
