They haven’t said yet if they will be offering Rouge members an extra code again for this sale to share with friends. But if they do, stay tuned as I may give my extra code away to one of my followers.
Hair
If there’s one category that’s always worth restocking during the Sephora sale, it’s hair products. And as a bleach-blonde girlie, I’ve tried a TON in my journey of understanding how to grow healthy, long, and luxurious hair. Pureology Strenght Cure Blonde Purple Shampoo is my holy grail purple. It doesn’t dry out my already dehydrated hair and it tones + keeps my blonde bright.
I’ve had my Dyson airwrap for a few years now and have used it at all lengths. And truly, it’s still my favorite. Whether I have 5 minutes for my hair or an hour, it’s amazing. Paired with the Oribe hairspray, my curls last ages.
Skincare
Heaven knows I tried an insane amount of products when I was in the depths of my struggle with hormonal acne. So it’s safe to say I find the products I love and repurchase them on repeat. I’ve lost count of the number of bottles of Paula’s Choice BHA I’ve been through. And the Tata Harper Clarifying Cleanser is a ride or die for me.
Face
I recently did a massive overhaul of my makeup routine and I couldn’t be happier with the results. As much as I love a good internet tutorial, I really wanted something that was more akin to the effort and elegance that comes from working with a makeup artist.
Paired with a few new techniques courtesy of my favorite Australian makeup artist, my look has completely transformed in the best way. The Haus Labs Foundation is a game changer. It’s the first time in years my skin has looked this good with makeup. Paired with the Armani Hydrating Primer and the Givenchy Powder (an investment but lasts FOREVER). My 33-year-old skin looks amazing.
Eye + Lip
I’m really on a journey at the moment to find the best of the best as far as eye and lip products go. But there are a few pallets, liners, and glosses that have won permanent places in my collection.
The most perfect fair-skin fall lip combo from Hourglass & Makeup by Mario. The eye palette for ABH that has me so excited to do eye makeup every day. And the most gorgeous neutral palette that works for every look.
Home & Body
Up until six months ago, I could not shave without razor burn. I tried EVERY trick in the book. After a moment of desperation, I went down a google rabbit hole. It led me to two answers: one that is a Sephora exclusive.
The Hanni shave gel is the only one I use now because it really allows for a close shave without overdoing the product in my blades. Paired with a straight razor, it’s gently exfoliating and leaves me razor bump-free (when paired with post-shave oil).
Candles are a WSS household essential. We like the bougie ones and Pumpkin Chai from Nest is a daily requirement for fall.
Gift Ideas
The fall Sephora sale is one of my favorite places to snag holiday gifts. Whether it’s a beauty advent calendar, a holiday exclusive pallete, or a bundle of my go-to travel-size hair products, there’s always something in the gift section that catches my eye.

Wishlist
At the top of my list, this year are Champagne Showers by Forvr Mood and Fucking Fabulous by Tom Ford. Both pretty much sum up my chosen vibes with the titles. I’ve heard so many things about the Clarins Cryo-Flash Mask that I need to try it myself. And if ever there was a body butter I needed for fall, it’s Fenty’s warm cinnamon shimmering whipped oil.
