May 4

It’s May! Spring is well underway and with the blossoming flowers comes our latest, most fabulous Sephora haul. Below you’ll find a few of our must-have beauty items we’re trying & restocking this month.

Sarah’s Picks

Merit Flush Balm Cream Blush

The Merit Flush Balm Cream Blush in Beverly Hills is a brand-new addition to my makeup bag and I’m already obsessed. My skin tends to be on the drier side, so I love a creamy blush. This one is super blendable/buildable but has a nice dewy finish to it. I LOVE this colour. It looks really natural and will look great with a summer tan.

The Ordinary Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5 Hydrating Serum

I’ve been using this Hyaluronic Acid for years and it’s one of my absolute favourite products. I use this anytime my skin feels like it could use some extra moisture. It’s really lightweight and makes my skin feel quenched.

Olehenriksen Dewtopia 5% AHA Firming Night Crème

I’ve been using this Olehenriksen Night Cream for a couple months and I’m in love. Since I started using this cream my skin just looks and feels brighter. Plus it smells like a tropical vacation.

Ilia Super Serum Skin Tint SPF 40 Foundation

This Ilia Foundation in Bom Bom is my absolute go-to foundation. I generally don’t wear much makeup and when I do, I go for the no-makeup look… so this foundation is pretty much a dream. It’s really lightweight and feels more like a serum than a foundation. I find it gives me the perfect amount of coverage to just even out my skin tone, but not feel like I’m putting on a mask. It has a really beautiful, dewy finish and doesn’t dry out throughout the day. It also has SPF + squalane + hyaluronic acid + niacinamide so it actually protects and moisturizes your skin throughout the day.

Merit Signature Lip Lightweight Lipstick

This Lipstick in Cabo is another brand-new addition to my bag, and I can tell you I’m already contemplating which shade I’m buying next. I don’t wear lipstick often, but when I do it needs to feel comfortable on my lips (ie. doesn’t dry them out or irritate them). This lipstick absolutely passed my test. I also love this colour — it’s a subtle orangey-red shade and it looks great with the Merit Blush in Beverly Hills.

Kristen’s Picks

The Ordinary "Buffet" + Copper Peptides 1%

This Buffet Serum is my #1 go-to serum — I use it every single night!

Biossance Squalane + Probiotic Balancing Gel Moisturizer

I’ve had my eye on this Biossance Moisturizer for a while, so I finally decided to try it. So far, I love it! It’s lightweight and perfect for the summer/warmer months.

Sephora Collection Retractable Brow Pencil - Waterproof

My usual brow pencil was sold out, so I thought why not try out this much less expensive Sephora Collection version… and now I’m wondering why I wouldn't have picked this in the first place. This brow pencil, in medium brown, works great and lasts all day.
