Credo is offering 20% off sitewide with code FRIENDS24. Now is the time I stock up on all my favorites since I no longer have VIB Rouge Status at Sephora! Below are my ride-or-die, instant-restock purchases — the items I would pay full price for to replenish once I deplete, and am therefore thrilled to buy at a discount using this promotion…
FOUNDATION STICK // KOSAS BROW GEL // OSEA BODY OIL // ROZ SHAMPOO // ROZ CONDITIONER // GOOP EXFOLIATOR // IRIS SKIN MOISTURIZER
01. Westman Atelier Foundation Stick. Simply the absolute best. I wear color 0. The secret is to hydrate skin thoroughly beforehand (I love InnBeauty Extreme Clean and when my skin is really parched, Goop All-in-One Nourishing Face Cream, the latter of which is on sale at Credo, too) and to use this Merit brush to blend.
02. Tower28 MakeWaves mascara. My favorite everyday mascara. Lengthening, separating, lifting, does not clump. The best $20 mascara on the market, and why not get it for 20% off?!
03. Kosas AirBrow Gel. I love and adore this all-in-one product when I don’t have time to use a pencil to fill (I also use it as the last step after I’ve used the pencil when I do have the time). It fills, shades, and keeps brows in position.
04. Ilia Liquid Powder Tint in Cork. Trust me, this color is incredible if you have similar coloring to mine; the matte makes it everyday-appropriate, and it doesn’t read as “brown” so much as perfectly neutral. You can use a finger to swipe on over lid and instantly look evened out and polished. I am obsessed with it.
05. Osea Undaria Algae Body Oil. This is a non-greasy, nourishing oil that I absolutely LOVE to layer beneath lotion in the winter or wear on its own during the summer. Looks so pretty on bare skin, too — great on shoulders and legs for a little sheen. But not oily/greasy!!!
06. Roz Foundations Shampoo and Conditioner. As good as Oribe but less $$. Fantastic lather, clean scent, but does not weigh my fine hair down in any way.
07. GoopGlow Microderm Exfoliator. A chemical and physical exfoliant in one. I like to use this if I’m short on time and getting ready for an evening out — resets and refreshes skin in two minutes. My skin always feels baby-soft afterward.
08. Necessaire Body Lotion. Deeply hydrating but non-greasy. This brand’s ethos is to use skincare-grade ingredients on the body, and you can really feel/tell the difference. Your legs and shoulders look amazing after application, and never run dry.
09. Iris + Romeo Weekend Skin Moisturizer + SPF + Vitamin C + A Touch of Coverage. My favorite first layer. I often wear this on its own when short on time or like to layer beneath the Westman Foundation.
10. Osea Ocean Cleanser. I will admit that I keep cheating on this cleanser with other brands that are sent my way, but this is the one I keep coming back to. It smells like heaven and feels SO creamy and hydrating in use. I always feel vaguely virtuous when using this? It feels restorative, wellness-oriented.
Last note: this sale is a good occasion to buy luxe beauty gifts for friends/sisters/mothers — if you’ve read for awhile, you know this is sort of my go-to gift category for other women. Who doesn’t love a splurgey beauty product?! This lipstick trio would be such a great surprise, or for more of a white elephant price point, this lip gloss. I think all of the Westman products come so beautifully and fetchingly packaged. I gave my sister in law these pretty soaps over the summer – she lived in Tucson, AZ with my brother for awhile and has always loved the desert culture, plus she has a great eye for design/style, and I knew she’d love the packaging. Finally, I love all things OSEA and think this oil/lotion set would be great for a fellow brand enthusiast, and how cute are these hair clips?!
At checkout, treat yourself to one of these Cocofloss toothbrushes — my favorite!
I am planning to treat myself to two new items: this scented detergent people go crazy about, to use for sheets/towels, and this concealer (I’ve never tried before!)
P.S. A fun cocktail to make this weekend.
P.P.S. The best parts of fall.
P.P.P.S. Reading and permissions.
