One more sleep till the Sephora Spring Savings Event starts for Rouge! Tomorrow, April 14th, you can save 20% on your entire order through April 21st using code SAVENOW. And of course, I got all your skincare recommendations to haul during the sale because really, we are all about skincare lately am I right? I love how zoomers for this reason! They really care about their skin and sure, makeup is great, but they’d much rather have a minimal look and healthy-looking skincare than gobs of foundation on their skin.

Here are a few skincare picks that might just grab your eye!

Drunk Elephant B-Hydra Intensive Hydration Serum with Hyaluronic Acid
For a very long time, I thought that B-Hydra was incredibly overpriced and silly. It’s actually not. If you have dehydrated skin it’s pretty much the perfect solution to treat and restore much-needed moisture to your skin.

Tatcha The Dewy Skin Cream Plumping & Hydrating Moisturizer
I’m very sad to say I’ve reached a stage in my life where fragrance in my skincare is irritating. I always felt like fragrance in my skincare just made the experience more luxurious but lately, not so much. I do make a few exceptions and when it comes to exceptions Tatcha gets a pass. Full disclosure, I don’t like their spa-like fragrance they use in skincare and wish they’d release their dewy line in a fragrance-free formula. Regardless, I still absolutely adrew the Dewy Skin Cream. I’m dry and this is my go to some evenings when I want that glazed donut moisturizing effect.

Glow Recipe Plum Plump Hyaluronic Acid Moisturizer
This is my absolute go to when I want an immediate plumping effect. I love this stuff. As soon as I get out of the shower I apply Plum Plump Serum and top it with this cream. Instant hydration and dewiness.

ILIA Super Serum Skin Tint SPF 40 Foundation
I never thought there’d come a day when I’d be recommending what’s essentially a tinted face oil. But this stuff is gorgeous. I got a sample of this back in December but was too sick to enjoy it. After I felt better again I started testing it out and wow! This isn’t for you if you don’t like a dewy look but if you do this product a gorgeous, healthy dewy glow on the skin and looks amazing when topped with a bit of cheek stain! It’s my skin but way better!

Fenty Skin Instant Reset Brightening Overnight Recovery Gel-Cream With Niacinamide + Kalahari Melon Oil
Yes, I hate the fact this is in a jar as it contains some awesome ingredients that are exposed to the air each time I use it. But I LOVE this. It makes skin look brighter, smoother, and nicely hydrated when used overnight.

Supergoop! Every. Single. Face. Watery Lotion SPF 50Yes, sadly, it contains alcohol. But is it awesome? Absolutely. SO LIGHT! Doesn’t feel like you’re wearing anything at all on your face! Absorbs quickly, not greasy, not shiny, not heavy…amazing!

The INKEY List Hyaluronic Acid Hydrating Serum
Absolute yes! Not only because it works on dry skin without sucking the moisture from your skin but also, because it’s amazingly cheap and makes skin look like incredibly smooth.

Youth To The People Triple Peptide Hydrating + Firming Oasis Serum with Hyaluronic Acid
100% the best HA serum I’ve had the pleasure of using. Firms, and plumps, makes skin look brighter and happier. I’m on my third bottle of this stuff since launch and love it!

Tatcha The Dewy Serum Resurfacing and Plumping Treatment
There’s that fragrance again….! But I’ll suffer it for this stuff. This is the ultimate glazed donut effect right here. I use this in the evening and it makes my skin legit glow in the morning not to mention it also, makes my skin feel like a new born baby’s skin! Amazing! Expensive but amazing!

Glow Recipe Plum Plump Hyaluronic Acid Hydrating Serum
Another very, very fond fav of mine. So plumping! I don’t even know how because I don’t think this stuff has a ton of HA in it but boy does it make my skin happy!

LANEIGE Cream Skin Toner & Moisturizer
The solution for tight, dry skin after cleansing. After your wash your face if you’re feeling tight and dry toner or essence is always a great step! This stuff is great to restore much neeeed moisture plus preps skin for other skincare.

Topicals Like Butter Moisturizer for Dry, Sensitive & Eczema-Prone Skin
Thankfully it’s Summer soon but come Winter my skin is dry, flaky, and it does get a bit itchy when I’m out in the cold for longer periods of time. Topicals Like Butter is a great one for soothing dry, sensitive skin and restoring much-needed moisture!

Charlotte Tilbury Refillable Magic Night Moisturizer with Retinol
A million times yes. I hate the fragrance but I adore this stuff. It’s thick, it’s like vaseline for your face, and it makes my skin as smooth as a skating rink. Absolutely a staple in my collection.

Farmacy Honey Grail Ultra-Hydrating Face Oil
Can we get a bit more love for Honey Grail? This has such a lovely consistency for an oil! It’s almost a hybrid gel-like oil that absorbs easily and provides a huge boost in hydration.

Shiseido Ultimate Sun Protector Lotion SPF 50+ Sunscreen
A timeless classic that’s a little thick, takes a sec to absorb, but truly protects skin fully! This is my go-to theme part SPF.

Paula’s Choice RESIST Youth-Extending Daily Hydrating Fluid SPF 50
Lightweight, absorbs easily, wears well under makeup, and protects the skin like a champ! Not sure you’ll like it? Try the mini size!

Paula’s Choice Pro Collagen Multi-Peptide Booster
Six pro-collagen peptides, hyaluronic acid, amino acids, what can I say this stuff has everything!

Supergoop! PLAY Everyday Sunscreen Lotion SPF 50 PA++++
Absolutely yes! One of my top three sunscreens when I know I’ll be out in the sun for a while. This stuff will not let the evil sun get to my skin.

Dr. Jart+ Ceramidin Cream-Infused Mask
GET IN MY CART! I haven’t tried this yet but I’m a huge fan of Dr Jart’s Ceramidin Collection!

innisfree Dewy Glow Moisturizer with Cherry Blossom & Niacinamide
Glass Skin? We want her! This stuff will get you there. It’s a gel that makes your skin look so incredibly smooth and hydrated! And hey, bonus points for having a light cherry blossom scent!

Let me know what skincare you plan to haul!

About the Muse

Isabella MuseIsabella is just an average everyday geeky girl who doesn’t blend her eyeshadow correctly, wears too much blush, and hopes she never finds her holy grail products because she likes the thrill of the chase so much. Her mission is to bring you super honest reviews on makeup, skincare, fragrance and all things beauty. She’s in no way an expert on the topic and she sure as hell isn’t a super model. But she’s passionate about makeup and is seeking like-minded individuals that like pina coladas, getting caught in the rain, and ones that enjoy spending hundreds of dollars at Sephora without feeling buyer’s remorse.
