I evaluate beauty products as part of my job—here's what I'd purchase from the Sephora sale with $220.

      Since I started my journey as a beauty editor, I've taken on the role of the unofficial (ahem, unpaid) personal shopper for my family and friends. It's now a daily task for me to research answers to their pressing beauty inquiries: Which drugstore concealer is crease-proof? Is the new Armani Luminous Silk Foundation worth it? What perfume should I get for my mom this Mother's Day? The answers, in order, are Maybelline's Instant Age Rewind Eraser Concealer, absolutely, and Jo Malone's new Yuzu Zest Cologne.

      I know beauty hauls can become quite expensive, so I typically tell everyone to hold off on big purchases until sales like Sephora's Spring Savings Event come around. Luckily, this sitewide sale is going on until April 20, allowing Beauty Insiders to enjoy discounts of up to 30% (depending on their membership tier) by using the code SPRINGSALE at checkout.

      Beauty Insider Savings Tiers:

      - Rouge: 20% off

      - VIB: 15% off

      - Insiders: 10% off

      - Extra Perk: 30% off Sephora Collection

      Putting my shopping skills to use, I set myself a budget of $220 (before discount) to choose products that are trendy and definitely worth buying while on sale. Yes, everything has been tested by me. Below is my recommended shopping list featuring products from Rhode, Prada Beauty, Makeup by Mario, and more.

      **Rhode**

      Peptide Lip Tint Nourishing Glaze

      Now is the perfect time to transfer Rhode beauty products from your wish list to your cart. Depending on your Beauty Insider level, you can save up to 20% on the highly popular Peptide Lip Tint in every glossy shade. I’m going for the baby-pink Ribbon and deep Raspberry Jelly.

      **Chris McMillan**

      The Smooth and Tame Hair Wand

      I’m a huge fan of Chris McMillan's hair products (he created Jennifer Aniston's iconic Rachel haircut), and I'm gradually introducing them to my family and friends. This smoothing wand is perfect for those who love slicked-back hairstyles and need quick touch-ups, as it manages flyaways without leaving a crunchy texture. I recommend this wand to everyone!

      **Make Up For Ever**

      Artist Color Pencil Long-Lasting Lip Liner in Anywhere Caffeine

      If you've been on BeautyTok this past year, you've probably heard of Make Up For Ever's Artist Color Pencil—especially in the shades Anywhere Caffeine and Wherever Walnut. Hailey Bieber and Dua Lipa are well-known fans, and now the chic shades and long-lasting results have gained popularity online. I suggest this shade because it can be used as a lip liner, lip contour, a warm blush, and an eyeliner. Fun fact: It’s designed for all-around use and is completely safe for the eyes.

      **Prada Beauty**

      Mini Paradoxe Discovery Set

      After polling hundreds of New Yorkers on which perfumes attract the most dates and compliments, Prada Beauty's Paradoxe Intense Eau de Parfum was the standout. It's sexy, woody, and warm, but if you prefer to try before you splurge on a full size, I recommend this discovery set that includes both versions. Both fragrances are stunning, and this smaller purchase will help you decide which one you'll gravitate towards more in the long run.

      **Makeup by Mario**

      Ethereal Eyes Eyeshadow Palette: The Original

      The beloved original Ethereal Eyes palette from Makeup by Mario is back by popular demand and is the eyeshadow compact to snag during a sale. It’s not just its worthy price drop or the fact that it was once a limited edition that makes it desirable; it’s also one of the easiest palettes to dress up or down, thanks to its beautiful selection of soft glam shimmers and everyday mattes.

      **Dr. Groot**

      Mini Hair Thickening Shampoo & Conditioner Set

      I had heard great things about Dr. Groot's hair-thickening shampoo and conditioner before trying them, but I was genuinely impressed once I started using them. I've noticed a change in the density of my hair (after being informed by a hair-loss specialist that it was thinning) and the shampoo cleanses the scalp wonderfully, lathers effortlessly, and leaves my hair feeling healthy and hydrated afterward. If you're not quite ready to commit to a new routine, I recommend starting with this mini set.

      **Glamnetic**

      Premium Press-On Nail Kit in Shine for You

      Pink cat-eye nails are all the rage right now, along with press-ons. Combining both results in this gorgeous set from Glamnetic, known for their long-lasting, professional-quality press-ons. Grab these while they’re on sale—you won't regret it.

      We've officially reached $220, and you can check out with this fantastic
