We Asked These 8 Sephora Employees Their Go-To Beauty Products And Hereās What They Saidā¦
When it comes to the best beauty products and the biggest selection, most people tend to head to Sephora. They have everything. So when it comes to finding the most sought-after, popular products that you must have in your makeup bag, who better to ask than the employees with first-hand experience with every product available.Ā
We wanted to know which products every woman should have in their artillery. These Sephora employees gave us the best products for better lashes, skin, lips and more!
Katie Esposito talked about this first product, The Glow Fairy Retinol Glow Wand. āThis is by far our favorite choice when it comes to retinol products specifically for the face that help diminish the appearance of wrinkles and rough skin.Ā The Glow Fairyās Retinol Glow WandĀ is a highly-condensed retinol balm that you easily apply to the most sensitive areas of your face. It comes packed with retinol along with a handful of effective ingredients (including hyaluronic acid, butylene glycol, and stearic acid to help boost your skinās moisture and collagen production to help lessen the appearance of wrinkles and give your skin a smoother and softer feel. The balm is easy to apply with just a few swipes needed every night on the areas of skin that need your help. Highly recommended!"
2. LIAISON LASH BOND

The second product recommended by a Sephora employee was Liaison Lash Bond, a growth serum that helps build stronger lashes. Molly Morrell, a Los Angeles employee explained, āLiaison has it all, a good value, safe ingredients, and (brace yourself) it works! I first tried Liaison when I received the 50% off code SECRET50. This was before we had it in the store. I used it for six weeks and had some of the longest, most luscious lashes Iāve ever seen. I was so surprised. When we got it in the store, every employee started using it. The ingredients are natural and donāt cause irritation or burning, and the instructions are straightforward and simple. Itās really the best of everything packed into one product. Effectiveness, safety, and value all rolled into one.ā
3. LANEIGE LIP SLEEPING MASK

Store Manager Wendy Brennen loved Laneigeās Lip Sleeping Mask. āIt doesn't matter how much lipstick you put on, if your lips are dried and crack, people will be able to tell. And donāt even think about kissing someone! Laneigeās Lip Sleeping Mask helps take care of that by helping repair and moisture your lips overnight. Itās like a super-powered lip balm that will not only protect your lips but help them stay healthy. Itās really a great choice.āĀ
4. THE NO.3 HAIR PERFECTOR BY OLAPLEX

āWhether you think so or not, almost everyone could use some hair repair.ā Sales associate Gina Ginsberg told us. āOur hair is so sensitive and even if you take amazing care of it, something like Olaplexās No. 3 Hair Perfector will still help. Itās the smoothest, best hair conditioner and repairer ever. You can use it every day or like, once a month, either way youād be doing a HUGE service to your hair.ā
5. āāTHE ALL NIGHT LONG-LASTING MAKEUP SETTING SPRAY BY URBAN DECAY

āWhatās the point of amazing look if your makeup smears, right?ā Thatās what sales associate Catherine Lily wants to know. āI recommend this to everyone who shops at the store. Iām like chasing people down trying to get them to buy this itās so good. Urban Decayās All Night Long-Lasting Makeup Setting Spray helps keep makeup on and looking perfect all night. It lasts up to 16 hours, which is incredible. I used this at a summer wedding and I was the only one at the reception without running eyeliner and smudgy foundation. Absolute best!ā
6. THE WIZARD DETANGLING HAIR PRIMER BY AMIKA

General manager Matty Simone loves Amikaās Detangling Hair Primer. āItās the best way to help make my hair look and feel silky smooth after the shower. My hair is naturally pretty curly so anytime I want to do anything to it, it becomes a hassle. Using Amika, I can at the very least manage these curls. People without curly hair swear by it, too because it cuts blow drying time in HALF. Itās amazing. I highly recommend it.āĀ
7. THE ACNE SOLUTIONS ACNE + LINE CORRECTING SERUM BY CLINIQUE

āSpot-treating acne products is one of the hardest products to find, I would know,ā says sales associate Lyzie Venick. āEspecially one that doesnāt dry out your skin completely. Thatās what was troubling me. Every product I found would maybe get rid of my acne, but make my skin look worse with dried out patches. Clinqueās Acne and Line Correcting Serum is the first one I found that doesnāt completely kill my skin. It actually helped remove acne and lines without dry patches. Now itās my go-to and I recommend it to everyone else.ā
8. PAULA'S CHOICE BODY LOTION, GLYCOLIC ACID & SHEA BUTTER EXFOLIANT

āThe best body lotion. Ever.ā Claims Margot Wellen, a shift manager. āThis stuff changed my life, it has amazing ingredients to help your skin look and feel incredible. The main one being a 10% Glycolic Acid, an ultra-effective alpha hydroxy acid that helps exfoliate and rejuvenate skin. Itās a perfect combo with something like The Glow Fairy Body Glow Wand. These two products together will take years off of your skin. Itās unbelievable!ā
We wanted to talk further with our investigative reporter Stephanie Marianne who interviewed the Sephora employees and helped create the rankings list and howĀ The Glow Fairy Retinol Glow WandĀ worked for her. Stephanie tells the story.
Personally, I never believed in the effectiveness of anti-wrinkle anything. āTime cannot be reversed,ā I used to tell my friend. Iāve had too many friends tricked into buying some wild cream just to find out itās a waste of money. So Iāve avoided it at all costs.
But then my best friend, who I trust with my life, swore by The Glow Fairy Retinol Glow Wand. She would swipe it on every night before she went to bed. After a few weeks her skin looked tighter and her fine lines were greatly reduced. I, of course, didnāt believe her. But then she showed me a before and after. I was stunned. Week by week the fine lines and wrinkles became less noticeable all together! I begged her to let me borrow her Glow Wand. Instead she gave me a secret 50% OFF code, SECRET50, and I ordered my own Glow Wand immediately.
I received a package in the next few days and applied that night. The application is super simple, just open the Glow Wand and swipe it on! LOL, but actually, for best effectiveness, make sure your face is clean and dry. Do your nightly routine and leave the Glow Wand for last. Warm up the balm a little by rubbing onto your finger or the edge of your eye for an easier swipe. Then, apply the balm around the eye, on the sides and under. You can also apply to laugh lines, and even around the brow at the T-zone. Leave it on over night and viola!
I, of course, expected results immediately. But it will take a few weeks to see the real results (so I made sure to snap a few before photos). While I waited, I ended up doing a little research on the ingredients that go into the Glow Wand and found the retinol wasnāt the only thing helping my fine lines disappearā¦
RETINOL
Of course, thereās retinol, which helps neutralize free radicals in the skin and encourage the production of collagen. The rich source of vitamin A is so effective in helping boost collagen that itās almost the only ingredient needed. But Glow Fairy did an amazing thing of adding the extra punches with some of these other ingredientsā¦
HYALURONIC ACID
Another amazing ingredient thatās naturally found in the body. Hyaluronic Acid is used by the body to retain water in the skin. And, as we know, moisture and hydration is essential to healthy, ageless looking skin. Thatās why Hyaluronic Acid is so popular in beauty products.
ALLANTOIN
Not many people are aware of how amazing this ingredient is for your skin. It helps remove dead skin cells from the skin to reveal the soft, more youthful tissue underneath. So when youāre looking for that more youthful glow, itās not retinol doing the work. Itās Allantoin.
STEARIC ACID
Allantoin with a combination of this ingredient, stearic acid, is your ultimate duo for cleaning the skin and giving you that extra glow. While allantoin removes dead skin cells, stearic acid, removes excess oil and dirt that regular cleansers canāt get to. Really awesome stuff!
BEESWAX
The last ingredient I was so happy to see in the Glow Wand was beeswax. A lot of retinol creams forget that too much retinol can damage the skin but making it very sensitive. You need something to protect against that. Buzz buzz buzz hello beeswax! Beeswax is a natural protector, it creates an antibacterial, anti-inflammatory and anti-viral barrier that will help keep your skin safe!
So, finally, after 4 weeks, I decided to check if I could see results⦠and wow! The area around my eyes was more youthful and glowing, and some fine lines that I was concerned about were totally gone. I was blown away!
Iāve been converted into a Glow Fairy believer, and hope you will, too.
