The Inky List Glycolic Acid Exfoliating Body Stick
One of Sephora’s hidden gems under $25 is the Inky List Glycolic Acid Exfoliating Body Stick. This product has been a staple in my skincare routine lately, especially for my feet. It has worked wonders on my cracked and calloused heels, providing noticeable results after just one use.
The convenience of this stick formula makes it easy to apply to any problem areas on the body, such as bumpy skin on the arms or legs. Simply rub the stick onto the skin, let it work its magic overnight, and wake up to smoother, softer skin.
Elf Poreless Putty Primer
Another great find at Sephora for under $25 is the Elf Poreless Putty Primer. This affordable dupe for higher-end primers creates a smooth base for makeup application, blurring imperfections and minimizing the appearance of pores. Its velvety texture ensures that makeup stays in place all day.
ColourPop Super Shock Shadows
For a pop of color on a budget, look no further than ColourPop Super Shock Shadows. These highly pigmented eyeshadows come in a variety of shades and finishes, perfect for creating a bold eye look. The unique formula applies like a cream but sets to a powder finish, lasting all day without creasing.
Mario Badescu Facial Spray
Refresh and hydrate your skin with the Mario Badescu Facial Spray, available at Sephora for under $25. This cult-favorite product contains a blend of herbs and rosewater to revitalize tired skin, leaving it glowing and radiant. Use it as a makeup setting spray or as a mid-day pick-me-up for a burst of hydration.
Smooth Skin Magic
I was not expecting that at all and like four or five nights in they were so much smoother, and I didnt have like that rough skin. That kind of catches on your sheets at night. If you have this issue, you know what Im talking about its horrible and as were getting into sandal season and Im, showing my feet more. This has just been a lifesaver. I dont have to sit there like scrubbing with one of those files.
Moisturizing Stick
I just put this on go to bed and I wake up and they look better. So I thought this was such a cool product and even though its a stick, its actually very moisturizing, when you put it on your skin, it has almost like a thicker, more oil texture. It just feels really nice and my skin never felt dry. I didnt need to use a separate Moisturizer in addition to this, so I thought this was a really cool and convenient product because you really dont have to rub it in, like you would a lotion.
Easy to Use
I just run this, like I said along my feet, put the socks on and thats it. You dont even have to touch your feet. Another really great product at Sephora.
The Ordinary’s Glycolic 7 Toner
If you have rough and bumpy skin, is the ordinarys glycolic 7 toner. So this I actually bought the big bottle originally, which I think is 13, this one is 8, so its probably like one of the cheapest products they have at Sephora, but its really good super effective.
Product Review: Exfoliating Toner
When I first tried this exfoliating toner on my face, I found it to be too harsh for my sensitive skin. However, I discovered that it works wonders when applied to the bumps on the backs of my arms and thighs. It effectively smooths out the skin on my body without causing any irritation.
Tips for Application
For those with sensitive skin like mine, it is recommended to apply a moisturizer on top of the toner to prevent dryness. Additionally, it is best to use this product at night to avoid increased sun sensitivity the following day. Don’t forget to wear sunscreen on any exposed body parts to protect your skin.
Benefits for Summer Skin
This exfoliating toner is an essential product for achieving smooth skin, especially during the summer months. Regular use helps to remove dead skin cells and improve overall skin texture.
Long-time Favorite: Sephora Product
Having worked at Sephora from 2004 to 2007, I can confidently say that this next product has been a favorite of mine for many years. It has stood the test of time and continues to deliver exceptional results.
Jack Black Intense Therapy Lip Balm
I was a manager at Sephora and we all loved this product when it came out. The Jack Black Intense Therapy Lip Balm may be marketed towards men, but we couldn’t resist its charms. Priced at just $10, it’s an affordable option that delivers excellent results.
Clear and Hydrating
Unlike many lip balms on the market, the Jack Black lip balm doesn’t come in pretty colors. Instead, it’s clear and comes in a variety of delightful scents. The product itself has a matte finish, making it perfect for those who dislike glossy lip balms. The formula is super hydrating, thanks to its intense therapy properties.
Amazing Scents
The Jack Black lip balm comes in a range of scents, but my personal favorites are the shea butter and black tea and blackberry. The shea butter scent has hints of vanilla and cookies, creating a delicious aroma. The black tea and blackberry scent, on the other hand, is refreshing and unique. While the tea notes are subtle, the blackberry adds a fruity touch to the overall scent profile.
SPF Protection
One standout feature of the Jack Black lip balm is its SPF 25 protection. Many lip balms on the market lack sun protection, making this product a great option for those looking to shield their lips from harmful UV rays. With its hydrating formula, pleasant scents, and added SPF protection, the Jack Black Intense Therapy Lip Balm is truly a hidden gem at Sephora for under $25.
SPF Lip Balms Under $25
I actually just dug these two out of my purse because I usually carry them around and wear them out, since they do have the SPF in them, but they are so fantastic and they’re only 10 bucks so definitely worth checking out as well.
KKIN Isle Lip Balms
Another SPF lip balm that you guys have heard me talking about, but I don’t really see it much on anyone else’s channel are the KKIN Isle lip balms. I have all three shades now, there’s actually a clear one too that I don’t have, but I feel like I have the Jack Black in the clear, so I mostly buy these just for the colors that they come in, and these are also so fantastic.
Yummy Vanilla Scent
They have a really yummy vanilla scent. It smells like cake batter almost and unlike the Jack black ones, these are very glossy. They look so good on your lips and the colors that they come in are also really beautiful. Even though they have SPF 30 in them, they don’t have a weird or off-putting taste like some SPF lip balms can, and these are just super hydrating.
Perfect for Summer
They feel really smooth on your lips, they’re not sticky. So I love these so much. I started out with one and ended up just grabbing the other two colors, because I knew that heading into summer I’m going to be outside more and I wanted to have that SPF for my lips, so these are so good and they’re 15 bucks.
Sephora Collection Lip Gloss
Next up, let’s talk about Sephora Collection. Their products can be very hit or miss. I’ve tried some products that were kind of terrible and others that just really blew me away. One of my favorite products from them lately is their colorful lip gloss. These glosses come in skinny tubes and have a great formula. Priced at only $11, they are quite affordable and comparable to drugstore lip glosses. What sets these glosses apart is that they are actually gloss balms, providing hydration like a lip balm and a smooth, cushiony texture. Unlike traditional sticky lip glosses, these feel comfortable on the lips and come in a wide range of colors. Overall, a fantastic lip gloss option at Sephora.
Sephora Collection 133 AHA BHA Resurfacing Peel Mask
Another hidden gem from Sephora Collection is their 133 AHA BHA pH resurfacing peel mask. This product is similar to a high-end product from Drunk Elephant but without the hefty price tag. Simply apply a thin layer of the mask on your face, leave it on for 10-20 minutes, and let it work its magic. The mask effectively exfoliates the skin while providing hydration, so your face never feels dry despite the presence of acids. A great option for those looking to improve skin texture and tone without breaking the bank.
The Power of Sephora Collection Skincare
It always feels very comfortable there’s. A little slight tingle that happens if you’re not used to using acids, but it’s really not bad at all, and once I wash this off, my skin is baby smooth.
Affordable Alternatives
I really don’t see any difference between this one and some of the more expensive options like the Drunk Elephant. I feel like, why spend the money on that when this one is just as good and a lot of people don’t know this.
Quality from France
All of the Sephora Collection skincare is made in France and when I worked at Sephora we were taught that it’s made in a lot of the same factories as some of the really fancy high-end skincare brands over there.
Overlooked Excellence
I know sometimes people look down on Sephora Collection or think, like maybe the ingredients aren’t as good as some of the more hyped up high-end brands, but the products that I have tried have been really good and really solid.
Exploring More Options
This is the first one I’ve tried in a while. So I definitely now that I’ve been loving this. I want to go back and see what else they have currently.
I know they discontinued. They used to have something called the Ultra Supreme Body Butter or something. It came in this huge jar that was my favorite body butter for years. It was so fantastic and I don’t know if they have an equivalent now or if it’s just named something else.
Discover Sephora Hidden Gems Under $25!
As I was browsing through Sephora, I stumbled upon some hidden gems that caught my attention. One of them was the Sephora Collection skincare products, which I used to love. I decided to explore them a little more and see what they had to offer.
Clinique Almost Lipstick in Pink Honey
The next product that piqued my interest was the Clinique Almost Lipstick in Pink Honey. While the black honey shade had garnered a lot of hype, no one seemed to talk about pink honey. Personally, I find pink honey to be more flattering on my lips than black honey. Its delicate hue complements my natural lip color perfectly, adding a touch of hydration and just the right amount of color to make my lips look healthy and vibrant.
What sets this lipstick apart is its formula – it has a cushiony lip balm feel that smooths out lip lines, making your lips look smoother and plumper. It’s a classic formula that I truly adore, and I highly recommend trying out pink honey if you’re a fan of the black honey shade. It’s like a more subtle and understated version of the popular black honey shade.
Discover FRCK at Sephora
Lately, I’ve been experimenting with products from a brand called FRCK, and I must say, I’m impressed. Not only are their products of high quality, but they also come at an affordable price point, making them accessible to more beauty enthusiasts. If you’re looking to try out something new and exciting, I suggest giving FRCK products a shot.
SEPHORA HIDDEN GEMS… UNDER $25!
A lot of their stuff is under $25, so the first product I’m actually wearing on my lips today is their Makeout Club Soft Blur Lipstick. I’m somebody who avoids matte lipsticks like the plague because, even if it’s a formula that feels comfortable when I first put it on, usually within half an hour to an hour, my lips feel so dry that I’m reaching for a lip balm or they look more lined and cracked than ever before.
Recently, I found the Lip Suede Matte Lipstick from Westman Atelier, which is beautiful and comfortable on the lips, but it’s also around $49-$50. So, imagine my surprise when I tried this one from FRCK and realized that it’s pretty much the same thing. It may be just slightly less creamy than the Westman Atelier one, but the end result is the same.
What I’m looking for is something that will blur my lip lines, not make my lips feel dry, and this lipstick absolutely delivers. The shade is ‘The Moment’, and I love it – it’s a kind of Rosy Brown that I’m 100% wanting to go back and get a couple more shades of because I feel like it is finally a matte lipstick that I can wear.
The Perfect Matte Lipstick Alternative
For those seeking a comfortable alternative to drying matte lipsticks, look no further than this unscented and lightweight gem that won’t break the bank. You may even forget you’re wearing it at all, a true game-changer for those sensitive to traditional matte formulas.
Cheek Slime that’s Anything But Slimy
Despite its questionable name, this cheek slime from frck is anything but slimy. With a moussey formula that can be used on both lips and cheeks, the texture is truly unique and beautiful. Available in shades like Love Flush and Big Thrills, the product leaves a smooth and long-lasting finish that is sure to impress.
A Little Goes a Long Way
Don’t be fooled by the tiny bottle size – a little bit of this cheek slime goes a long way. The soft and blurring texture leaves cheeks looking smoother and more refined, while the staining effect ensures long-lasting wear throughout the day.
Unexpected Results
The first time trying out these versatile products, the results were pleasantly surprising. While not particularly moisturizing on the lips, they performed well and provided a lasting effect. Whether you choose to use them on your lips, cheeks, or both, these hidden gems under $25 are sure to elevate your beauty routine.
SEPHORA HIDDEN GEMS…UNDER $25!
One of the hidden gems at Sephora that is worth mentioning is the lip stain that took me by surprise. I didn’t feel the need to reapply lip balm for hours after applying it. When I came back home from being out all day, I was shocked to see that the lip color was still intact. The best part was that I didn’t expect it to leave a stain, but it did, and the color payoff was impressive. Surprisingly, not many people talk about these lovely lip stains.
Ci Ray’s Come H or High Water Tubing Mascara
Another product worth mentioning is Ci Ray’s Come H or High Water Tubing Mascara. I discovered this gem back in 2022 when I was on a trip to Charleston, South Carolina. The heat and humidity were causing my regular mascara to smudge, so I decided to try out a tubing formula. I picked up this mascara from Sephora, and it was a game-changer. The mascara has a skinny traditional wand that provides excellent length and volume without clumping. It was the perfect solution for my mascara woes during the hot and humid weather in Charleston.
Explore these Sephora hidden gems under $25 and discover some amazing products that don’t get as much attention as they deserve. You never know, you might find your new holy grail beauty product!
The Perfect Mascara: Mini Version for Maximum Impact
Where it’s not too dry and it’s not too wet, I can really build it up and get more of that false lash look without it being too heavy and weighing my lashes down or getting clumpy. The Mini version is only $13, and even the larger version is still under $25. Personally, I prefer mini sizes for high-end mascaras as I rarely finish a full-size tube within the recommended 3 to 6 month timeframe. The perfect amount of product in the mini size allows me to try out different options without any waste. This mascara is great for those who love tubing formulas.
Other Recommendations
If you enjoy The Hourglass Unlocked Extensions or Tarte’s new Tartlet Tubing XL, you’ll love this mascara. The formula is top-notch and a must-have in your makeup collection. Another gem under $25 from H Ray is their Big Swell Lip Plumper. This product delivers plump, hydrated lips without breaking the bank. It’s a great addition to your everyday makeup routine.
Lip Plumper Like No Other
Unlike most lip plumpers that sting and burn, this hidden gem from Sephora is surprisingly hydrating. Say goodbye to the irritating sensation caused by cinnamon or Cayenne pepper, as this product features Maxi lip peptides that enhance lip volume over time. With hyaluronic acid filling spheres and a vasodilator, your lips will have a natural rosy flush that doesn’t require additional lip color.
Visible Results
The unique formula of this lip plumper ensures that your lips look fuller and more pronounced. While other products may give the illusion of volume, this one truly delivers noticeable results. You’ll be amazed at the difference in your lips when you use this gem from Sephora.
Lip Plumper: Volume and Smoothing
So I really like this one a lot. I don’t wear lip plumpers all that often, but I like that this one gives me that volume and also smooths out my lip lines. If you’re looking for a lip plumper that actually works, I think this one is awesome. It’s not going to make it look like you have lip filler necessarily, but it does give better results than just about any other one that I’ve tried.
