Sephora Spring Sale Recommendations

Sephora Spring Sale Recommendations

If you’ve stumbled upon my page looking for Sephora Spring Sale Recommendations, then I am here to help! If you’re like me, these past two years I spent next to nothing on makeup products. However, that money in turn was spent on skincare and devices to keep up spa services while there were lockdowns and closures. So no I can’t say I was on a “no-buy”. I am however excited to fall in love with makeup again and below are my recos!

NuFace Facial Toning Device

NuFace Facial Toning Device

Meet the newest addition to my skincare regime, the NuFace Facial Toning device. I know it has been around for quite some time now. However, I had to give it a long thought on whether my daily routine needed another step.

Usage is simple but besides the device itself you also need a NuFace gel primer for the device to glide over.

I’ve only recently started using the NuFace Facial Toning Device and will report back on the visible effects once they become apparent. My goal is to achieve the appearance of a smoother forehead and tighten the jawline.

I’ve used several manual facial tightening tools and lifting devices in the past. My experience remains the same, the results last as long as you keep up with the uses. My search remained open solely to find a device whose treatment time was shorter.

NuFace uses “gentle microcurrent technology to stimulate muscles and tighten skin, giving a lifted effect to the brows, eyes, jawline, cheeks, and neck.”

NuFace’s instructions state to: glide the device three times on each side of the treatment areas, ie. cheek, neck, forehead. Each swipe is merely a few seconds long. An automated beep will also notify you when it’s over.

So far, I am thoroughly appreciating the simple usage of this non-invasive device, the short yet effective treatment times and its compact size.

NuFace is available online and in-store at Sephora.

If you’ve used the NuFace Facial Toning Device, I would love to hear your experience with it!

NARS Summer Solstice Cheek Duo

NARS Summer Solstice Cheek Duo

It feels like an eternity has gone by since I’ve actually been excited about makeup. This past year I’ve skipped practically every step of my makeup routine besides concealer, brows and mascara. However, glow products are one thing I can’t say no to! Like the NARS Summer Solstice Cheek Duo.

A limited edition highlighter and bronzer duo, that houses two shades from NARS’ core range (Ibiza and Laguna). One swipe creates a golden hue with a brown base and with a subtle touch of shimmer.

Although my beauty buying habits have definitely changed this past year. I would still personally purchase this cheek duo because I don’t already have the two core shades (Ibiza and Laguna) in my makeup collection. $60 CAD for a generously sized pan, justifies the price. Aside from my face, I enjoy a subtle sweep of shimmer across my clavicle and surrounding area and this is absolutely beautiful!

The brown base in this cheek duo allows me to “sun sculpt”, eliminating the need for me to use multiple products. This product applies seamlessly with little transfer and is exactly what I needed for mask-friendly makeup

The NARS Summer Solstice Cheek Duo is available at narscosmetics.ca and sephora.ca
