Sephora VIB Sale: Recommendations and Wishlist

It's the most wonderful time of the year! Well, aside from Christmas. And the winter VIB sale because you get a bigger discount. Still, this sale only comes around a couple times a year so if there is ever a time to replenish your essentials or splurge on fun makeup...now is the time. Below are my recommendations (I've listed them by category) as well as my own personal wish list. Which I probably won't buy any of because I'm broke as a joke, but a girl can dream.

*Note: When it comes it to face products, I have really dry skin so I prefer really moisturizing and hydrating primers as well as dewy, yet full coverage foundations. If you have oily skin and/or like a light-medium coverage, my picks probably aren't for you. It's also a good time to stock up on beauty blenders!! Lately, I've been using my beauty blender for foundation, concealer, highlight, cream contour, almost everything except eyes and lips basically. Also, I've included direct links to some of the products, but not all of them cuz I'm lazy.

Foundation

• Hourglass Vanish Stick
• Too Faced Born This Way
• Makeup Forever Ultra HD Foundation Stick

I can't really recommend a concealer, because in my opinion nothing compares to tarte shape tape and sadly, they don't carry it at Sephora. That said, if you don't like super full coverage the urban decay naked weightless is a good one. I also highly recommend the Becca undereye brightening corrector.
