 Hi Bellas,

It's that time of year again—Sephora's VIB Sale is here, and it's the perfect opportunity to snag those must-have beauty products at a discount. Whether you're restocking essentials or treating yourself to something new, I've got you covered with my top recommendations. Plus, I'm available for shopping sessions and lessons through the end of the sale on 11/11/24, so let's make the most of it!

Skincare Staples You'll Love

Investing in skincare is always a good idea, especially when you can get it at a discount. Look for products that address your specific skin concerns, whether it's hydration, anti-aging, or brightening. Some of my all-time favorites include an exfoliating toner - the Paula's Choice Exfoliate, a nourishing face oil which is a great mixer for your makeup - Sunday Riley CEO Glow (they also have an awesome skincare set with all the essentials) and you can't go wrong with luxe lip moisturizers - I love the Laneige Lip Balms (and they have a limited edition trio set for the holidays). These staples will keep your skin glowing and healthy year-round.

Brushes: The Tools You Always Need

Quality brushes can make all the difference in your makeup application. If your brushes are looking a little worn out, the VIB Sale is the perfect time to upgrade. Look for a versatile set (Sephora Total Brush Set) that includes options for foundation, eyeshadow, and blush. Trust me, having the right tools can elevate your makeup game to a whole new level. Bonus - Sephora's Professional Brushes are currently on sale for 30% along with the entire Sephora branded line (use coupon code Savings at checkout). These are the brushes I always recommend to my clients. And don't forget to pick up your brush cleaner spray!

Holiday Sets: The Perfect Gift (for Yourself or Others)

Holiday sets are one of the best parts of the VIB Sale this time of year. Not only do they offer great value, but they also make perfect gifts for friends, family, or even yourself. Check out the limited-edition sets featuring best-selling products or exclusive shades. From skincare to makeup, these sets are beautifully packaged and sure to delight anyone on your gift list. I've been eyeing the Makeup For Ever Mini Artist Color Pencil Lipliner & Eyeliner Kit - it's such a great way to try their viral lip liners and if you know me, you know I think brown contouring shade lip pencils are a must have in every makeup kit.

Make the Most of the Sale with Personal Shopping Sessions

With the sale running until November 11th, I've opened up my schedule for personal shopping sessions and makeup lessons. Whether you need help choosing the right products or want to learn new techniques, I'm here to assist you. Together, we'll find the best deals and ensure you get everything you need to look and feel fabulous this holiday season.

Don't miss out on these incredible deals—head to Sephora and start shopping now! And if you want personalized advice, feel free to reach out and book a session with me. Happy shopping, and may your beauty haul be as stunning as you are!

 Hi Bellas,

Valentine's Day, the quintessential time for love and romance, is just around the corner. Whether you're planning a glamorous night out, a cozy evening in, or a Galentine's celebration with your besties, the perfect makeup can set the tone for an unforgettable day. Today at MakeupbyRenRen, we've gathered some swoon-worthy makeup tips to help you look and feel your absolute best this February 14th.



Makeup by Me on a fun Valentines Themed Shoot

Flirt with a Classic Red Lip

Nothing says Valentine's Day quite like a bold, red lip. It's classic, empowering, and undeniably romantic. For a long-lasting effect, begin by exfoliating your lips and follow up with a hydrating lip balm. Outline your lips with a lip liner that matches your chosen shade of red, then fill in with your lipstick. Opt for a matte finish if you're aiming for endurance through dinner and drinks, or go for a gloss if you're keeping it casual and want that extra pop of shine.

My current favorite red lipstick is the Maybelline Vinyl Ink in Wicked - It's a longwear glossy stain and the red is so rich and vibrant.



Romantic Eyes

Let your eyes do the talking with a soft, romantic look. I love playing with rose and pink tones for Valentines Day.  You can even place one of your favorite blush colors in  your crease just make sure it's a matte finish.  I like to finish it off with a bit of shimmer in the center of the lid to bring light to the lid.

I love this Mauves eyeshadow palette from Juvia's place.  It's super affordable and works on all skin tones.  And a bonus, the pans are big enough so you can use the shadows for blush or cheek highlight.



Radiate Love with a Healthy Glow

What doesn't say love more than a glow—and makeup helps! I love pairing my foundation with a liquid illuminizer - you can wear it under foundation for a super natural glow, or on top of foundation - on your cheekbones for even more shine.  Next apply a cream blush in a pinky tone to give that flushed in love look.  Some of my favorite liquid illuminizers are the L'Oreal Lumi Glotion - they're big enough where you can apply them on the face and body.



Set the Scene with a Scented Setting Spray

Finish off your look and ensure it lasts from dusk till dawn with a setting spray. Dry skin types should choose a hydrating mist and oily skin should go for something more mattifying.  I love the IT Cosmetics Your Skin But Better Setting Spray because it's perfect for the February cold weather and smells like yummy coconuts.



Don't Forget the Finishing Touches

Valentine's Day is the perfect excuse to sprinkle in some extra-special details. This is the time to pull out the fun stuff like face gems and false lashes.  To make your life easier, get the stick on rhinestones, they're so much quicker to apply!



Remember, the most important thing is to wear your look with confidence. Love is in the air, and with these makeup tips, you'll be ready to embrace all the romance this Valentine's Day brings.  If you're in the Atlanta area, I'm available for Valentines Day Makeup bookings.  Visit www.RenelynThomas.com to book your glam session!
