Sephora Products the Edge Executives are Raving About
Let’s be honest...quarantine has led to lots of us scrolling endlessly through online shops, adding item upon item to our carts. Personally, my Sephora basket is overflowing with tried and true beauty products, as well as ones I’m dying to try. In order to find the best of the best beauty products, I thought, who better to ask than The Edge’s very own executives? Keep scrolling to discover what our executives at The Edge recommend for your next beauty buys!
Aleeza Zinn, Editor in Chief
Benefit Cosmetics Gimme Brow Volumizing Eyebrow Gel, $24
If you’ve been searching for a great brow product, our Editor in Chief Aleeza recommends this one from Benefit. “I am not exaggerating when I say that this product is a lifesaver,” she said. As someone with light brows, she also added that she and her family are “lifetime buyers” of Gimme Brow once they discovered they don’t have to look eyebrow-less every day.
St. Tropez’s Self Tan Purity Bronzing Water Face Mist, $30
In Aleeza’s opinion, the only thing worse than a bad fake tan is being pale. Luckily, with this self tanner from St. Tropez, she’s been able to avoid both of those scenarios! While she was skeptical about the product at first, she now describes this product as magical.
Sydney Donaldson, Creative Director
Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion, $28
Who wants dry skin? Absolutely no one. That’s why Creative Director Sydney swears by this moisturizer from Clinique: “It does the trick without making me feel oily,” she explained.
Too Faced Better Than Sex Mascara, $25
As a fan favorite in the beauty world, it’s no surprise that this was a must-buy from both Sydney and Aleeza. Sydney swears that this mascara will make your eyelashes so much longer and fuller than they naturally are.
Maddy Lemone, Social Media Director
Maddy’s first pick is one of my own staples as well. “This product never lets me down,” she said. “Each time I wear it I feel as confident as Rihanna. It is the perfect gloss for the 2000s reemergence that is happening at the moment.
GlamGlow TropicalCleanse Daily Exfoliating Cleanser, $34
If you have dry skin like Maddy, you’ll definitely want to check this product out. “Each time I use it, my skin automatically brightens up and radiates with hydration,” she said. Plus, it’s vegan and free of parabens, formaldehydes, phthalates and silicone.
Claire Hatcher, Beauty and Wellness Editor
Dolce & Gabbana Light Blue Perfume, $64-$110 (depending on size)
“This is my favorite perfume of all time,” Claire says. She described the scent as super fresh and lemony, and always gets so many compliments on it. Sounds like the perfect buy for summer!
NARS The Multiple in Orgasm, $39
All-in-one beauty products tend to be hit-or-miss, but not this one from NARS. Claire uses this the most for blush, and actually prefers it to the powder option because it makes her skin glow even more.
Caroline Saviano, Fashion Editor
NARS Velvet Lip Glide in Beige Pink, $26
If you’re not usually a lipstick person, this could be the perfect one for you. Ever since Caroline tried this product, her thoughts on lipstick have changed dramatically. “I used to think it didn’t add much to my makeup and I could never find anything that wasn’t too drying or too sticky,” she said. “But this one brings so much color to my face and it is the perfect amount of shine without being a messy gloss.”
Benefit Cosmetics Dandelion Twinkle Highlighter, $30
Blush should be a staple in everyone’s makeup bag, especially during summer. Caroline loves this product to recreate the popular look of blush everywhere, particularly on your nose. “This is definitely a new favorite of mine,” she said.
Julia Oakes, Features Editor
Mario Badescu Witch Hazel and Rosewater Toner, $14
This toner has great reviews and doesn’t break the bank. Julia swears by it and uses it twice a day! It keeps her skin feeling super refreshed, hydrated, and glowy.
Rosebud Perfume Co. Rosebud Salve, $7
“This balm is the biggest staple in my skincare/beauty routine, hands down,” she said. Not only does it keep her lips super soft, but it also smells AMAZING. Julia also uses this salve on her dry skin, and says it works like a charm.
Emma Trimbur, Lifestyle Editor
Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer, $47
If you’re looking for a perfect summer face product, this is it. Emma says it’s so breathable and barely feels like there’s any makeup on your skin at all, while still providing plenty of coverage! Another bonus? It has SPF 30.
THE ORDINARY 100% Organic Virgin Chia Seed Oil, $7.70
This is Emma’s favorite daily face oil, as it keeps her skin hydrated, healthy and glowing without breaking the bank.
Hannah Jablonski, Travel Editor
BELIF The True Cream Aqua Bomb, $38
For a lighter moisturizer that’s still super hydrating, Hannah recommends this 100%. She even keeps it in her fridge for an extra refreshing application!
YOUTH TO THE PEOPLE Kombucha + 11% AHA Exfoliation Power Toner, $38
Our last product on the list is Hannah’s holy grail product. “I have combination skin and this is the first product I’ve actually seen make a difference on my skin,” she explained.
With all of these recommendations, we don’t know how we’re going to choose which ones to buy! Hopefully The Edge executives lead you to some new holy grail products of your own. They’re tried, true, and we can’t recommend them enough!
