Why it's great: If you need a moment to get lost in the sun, sand and waves (without leaving your office), Sephora junkies say this perfume will transport you to a "memory of being on the beach." The beach-inspired fragrance contains hints of coconut milk, bergamot, pink pepper and musk to help you recall those oh-so-lovely memories of being carefree in the sand somewhere. "It's light and fresh, and truly beachy, and the dry down is lovely," says one Sephora reviewer. Others agree saying the scent is "subtle and romantic" and 100 percent worth the price.
Why it's great: Well, if there's one thing we're learning about the general Sephora population, it's that they love a seductive scent. Beauty junkies "love the compliment-triggering scent" of this Tom Ford fragrance with its notes of orange blossom, suede and vanilla. "One spritz goes a long way and it barely fades throughout the day," says one Sephora reviewer. "Lavish, dramatic and seductive are great descriptors for the way this smells and the way it'll make you feel when you put it on. This perfume makes a statement, and so will you."
Why it's great: If you're looking for a new sensual signature scent (try saying that five times fast), then you might want to give this top Sephora buy a try. Nest Midnight Fleur is a combination of exotic wood, black amber, night-blooming jasmine and vanilla orchid that perfectly captures the intoxicating sensual vibe the fragrance is going for. Not to mention the packaging is gorgeous. One Sephora reviewer describes it as "the perfect amount of sexy and mysterious, while being floral and feminine."
Why it's great: If you want to look like you came straight from a gorgeous day at the beach, TotalBeauty readers say this surf spray will give you "natural waves and texture that literally looks (and feels) like you just stepped out of the ocean." The surf spray contains hydrating seaweed and kelp extracts to give your beach-babe hair added moisture and a silky smooth feel. "You can go from a soft tousle to a total 'I just came from the beach' look," explains one TotalBeauty reader. "It also helps to hold your style in place making hairspray unnecessary." Paired with other bestseller Maison Martin Margiela Replica Beach Walk, you'll really have people convinced you simply emerge from the ocean every morning. #mermaidgoals
Why it's great: More than a few beauty junkies have cut their shampoo days in half and rely on this "fast-absorbing dry shampoo" to keep their hair as fresh looking as the first day they washed it. "I worked out this morning and used it on my sweaty hair and I swear it looks like I actually washed it," one TotalBeauty reader gushes. "It also feels really nice ... smells amazing, gets the job done and adds a bit of volume." Other users agree saying it's "unlike any other dry shampoo they've ever used" as it absorbs any and all grease without leaving behind a white residue. No wonder Sephora junkies are stocking up.
