Why it's great: Do you break out? Get black- and whiteheads? Razor bumps? Discoloration? In-grown hairs? Do you have about ten different products in your bathroom for each of those issues? Users say this mask fights all your skin problems by drawing out dirt and congestion -- making it an absolute must-have for skin-care junkies. "This is definitely my go-to face mask," one Sephora-goer says. "Every time I use it, my face feels and looks so clear and smooth. It does it all: it clears, it tones and it cleanses. The mask is a little pricey, but to me it's worth it."
Why it's great: Combining vitamin E, green tea extract and a five-source vitamin C complex, this serum is an antioxidant-rich powerhouse that helps to fight the signs of aging (those fine lines and uneven complexion). This Sephora best-seller is "lightweight and not greasy on the skin" according to consumers, and they can feel it "tightening the skin instantly." Others say it's great for brightening and evening your complexion, especially if you have acne scars -- and "is totally worth the money invested."
Why it's great: While this Sephora buy is a bit on the spendy side for a cleanser, there's a reason over 50,000 people love this product. "I've tried several cleansers and I keep coming back to this one," says one TotalBeauty reader. "I notice a significant improvement in my skin when I use this. My skin tone becomes more even and I break out a lot less." Other users agree, saying the cleanser wipes their skin of any impurities and makeup, and leaves their skin "feeling clean and silky." The Sephora gem is also free of parabens, sulfates and phthalates. so if you're thinking about hoping on this cleanser's bandwagon, you can feel extra good about what you're putting on your face.
Why it's great: Between its "amazing smell" and "quick absorption" it didn't take long for this Brazilian bombshell to start flying off the shelves. "It's so rich and hydrating," says one TotalBeauty reader. "It has a very subtle sheen that makes skin look sun-kissed and, of course, the tropical smell is incredible." The Bum Bum Cream contains ultra-moisturizing ingredients like cupuacu butter, Brazil nuts and coconut oil, as well as the caffeine-packed guaraná -- that helps to increase circulation and tighten skin (hello skin-tight booty). "The caffeine present in the lotion tightens my skin and gives me an all-over airbrushed look," comments one TotalBeauty reader. "I will continue to buy this until the day I die (assuming they make it forever)."
Why it's great: Of all the best-sellers at Sephora, one of them was this deodorant -- which is incredibly impressive considering there's hundreds of beauty products in our beloved beauty store that are much more glamorous. Consumers love this antiperspirant as they find it "seduces the senses with its light fragrance of lily, suede and sandalwood," and it keeps them stink-free. TotalBeauty readers also claim the deodorant "keeps you dry all day" and lasts forever -- making the price point worth it. "There's no added chemicals or oils, and it doesn't stain my clothes," says one TotalBeauty reader. "It also doesn't just mask the scent, it eliminates it."
