This came at the perfect time for me as I had a few expensive things on my list to restock but was waiting for a deal somewhere. I’ve shared my Top 10 luxury beauty must-haves Instagram in partnership with Bluemercury. I got a lot of great feedback on RMS, La Mer and some other stuff so I wanted to share a closer look here with some swatches.

Brand exclusions include: Aesop, Baobab, Bluemercury Sets, Diptyque, IS Clinical, Jan Marini, SkinCeuticals, Trudon, Victoria Beckham Beauty, Vintners Daughter. Top 20% brands include Elta MD, Oribe, PC Skin, Sturm, Therabody. Dyson products they have a 15% discount.

Skin care favorites

There are so many great skincare brands that are part of the sale. Three I rotate regularly include La Mer, Sisley and Augustinus Bader. I still love it La Mer moisturizing soft cream as one of my daily choices for a luxury cream. When it comes to hydrating face mists, I really liked La Mer for a luxurious option and the new one Refreshing Face Mist it’s one I really liked.

I’m still very sad that La Mer discontinued the original The Tonic and replaced it with The Essential Tonicbut it’s very good – just thicker, more hydrating and almost like an essence/tonic. I recommend it but the Toning lotion Sisley Floral it’s my absolute favorite (alcohol free) for sensitive skin. It is fragrant but it is very mild and the fragrance is very low on the ingredient list. Of all the toners, the Sisley one is the one I have repurchased the most and it works really well to refresh and balance the skin.

I am obsessed with sheet masks and eye masks. There are so many that I have on my list that I want to try. I still really love it La Mer Treadment Lotion Moisturizing Masks but they are insanely expensive. Some of you recommended I check it out Deep Cleansing Mask and I think it’s my favorite cleansing mask (sold out online but may be available at your local store). I didn’t want to spoil it, but it’s 10/10 as good as you said it would be.

For an eye mask I love it Augustinus Bader Eye Patches for hydrogel mask. It works really well to help with de-puffiness and leaves the under eye area refreshed. I also really like it 111 Skin Rose Gold or Cryo De-Puffing these. ReVive also makes a great one called the Instant DePuffing Gel Eye Mask.

Hair care favorites

I’m obsessed with Oribe and Sisley’s Hair Rituel. I feel like Oribe has some of the best shampoos, conditioners and masks – no matter what I try I keep coming back to the Gold Lust range and I love it Shampoo, Softener and Dry Shampoo. THE Line of Alchemy it’s also great for strengthening especially if you have damaged hair, but I prefer Gold Lust.

THE Sisley Hair Ritual Hair Oil it’s the best hair oil I’ve tried. I’ve tried dozens and this has the best consistency that doesn’t weigh my hair down for a soft glossy shine and has a pleasant scent. I also really like their shampoos and conditioners, but at the rate I use the hair product, it would be too expensive for me to repurchase again and again.

Mason Pearson brushes are also part of the sale. I rarely see these on sale (although Gilt has a good selection on sale). Of all the brushes I’ve bought, the Mason Pearson brushes are the best quality and have lasted me the longest. I love the bigger one Popular brush and the Pocket size (hair + nylon).

Favorite makeup

Lots of makeup favorites that are part of the sale. There’s really so much I could mention, but here are a few highlights.

I have been playing with RMS Beauty more and I am beyond obsessed. I think the ReDimension Hydra Powder Blush it’s 10/10 on all counts: colors, pigment, texture, shiny finish, lasting power, flexibility. I have a few shades and love Crystal Slipper for the best neutral and whenever I wear French Rose I get TONS of compliments (I should wear it more). Think about it too ReDimension Hydra Dew Luminizer and Hydra Bronzers they are incredibly beautiful, but the blushes stand out.

I picked up a few lip items to try out. I absolutely LOVE it the Legendary Serum Lipsticks. These are twist up super opaque creamy lipsticks with a satin matte finish and the formula is unlike anything else I’ve tried. They almost have a cool feeling when you apply (but not minty or tingly). The pigment is INCREDIBLE. There are a few new nude shades and I really like Mae and Jayne.

I love it Go Nude Lip Pencil texture. I definitely want to see more shades soon, but I chose Morning Dew and Night Time Nude.

I could go on and on about Tom Ford Beauty. I would say my top 3 picks are Eye color Quadruple (love so many of these but do you think Hazy Sensuality is awesome), the Eye liner pen is the best liquid investment, and the Shade and Illuminate Duo in Peach Light.

Pat McGrath LUST Gloss it is the best smooth non-sticky polish on the market. I really like all the shades, especially Love Potion, Nude Venus and Peach Perversion.

Sisley makes the best matte eyeliner, I love it Phyto-Khol Star Eye Pencil.

A quick shout out to the La Mer Lip Volumizers. I really like the formula as a lip moisturizer. They added sheer tinted shades and while these are very sheer on the lips, I still really love the formula. On me they aren’t really full on, but more like a soft glossy serum that hydrates them with a cushiony feel.

Beauty tools

A quick reference to makeup brushes. Makeup tools are expensive and quite an investment. Three brands that I really love for quality and that have lasted me years are from Laura Mercier, Hourglass and NARS. I shared a closer look here in video form which I think is more helpful than the photos (they are also linked).

Perfumes

My last mention is the fragrance. Parfums de Marly, Creed, Tom Ford and many luxury brands are part of the sale. I still really love Valaya. I might buy again Creed Aventus for my husband.

I know I covered a lot, hope this helps in case you were wondering about any of the stuff I shared in my video yesterday! I know there will be more sales during the holiday months, but if you’ve been looking to try something new or freshen up, I think the savings at this event are pretty good!
