When I'm not searching for outfit ideas, I'm usually browsing the many beauty Substack newsletters I'm subscribed to. But nothing will ever beat all the goodies I typically find during Sephora's sale. It's one of the few times I'm able to score big on lip oils, niacinamide serums, and curly hair products without spending over $300. Plus, the perks of being an Insider, VIB or Rouge member are SO worth it.
Amazon
If you love subtle gourmand scents, you won't be able to stop wearing DedCool's Mochi Milk Eau de Parfum! it's a gratifying blend of marshmallow, vanilla bean and sweet rice milk that'll make you feel like you've wrapped yourself in a dream cloud.
Sephora
If you've been dealing with hormonal acne that's left you with inflamed skin or dark spots, we know how frustrating that can be. But you don't have to suffer in silence with skincare like Dieux's Deliverance Antioxidant & Niacinamide Serum exists. Not only does it treat the aforementioned concerns, but it's also good for minimizing pores and treating uneven skin tone!
Sephora
I like my skincare like I love my coffee alternatives — full of mushrooms! Even if you have oily or combination skin, hydration's still a good area to focus on. We love recommend KORA Organics' Milky Mushroom Ultra-Hydrating Mask because it targets dry areas while providing a healthy dose of Vitamin C!
Sephora
We love Tower 28 Beauty's S.O.S. Daily Rescue Facial Spray so much that we wrote about it in 2023! It feels like a toner and serum in a bottle because it immediately soothes any allergic reactions we may having. Itchy skin due to pesky breakouts? You'll want to use this. Red or splotchy skin that's triggered by an allergic reaction? This spray won't let you down.
Sephora
Birthday Cake
Juicy lips are always in, but we know it's hard to narrow down what to invest in. We prefer Summer Friday's Lip Butter Balm because you're able to choose from various shades and your lips will be protected from painful cracks that may pop up throughout the day.
Sephora
Eye creams are our life savers even if we haven't had a rough night! It's unfair, but everyone starts losing the collagen underneath their eyes at a point which makes dark circles rear their head. To combat that, use The INKEY List's Caffeine De-puffing + Dark Circle formula!
Sephora
Berry
If you want extra pillow-soft & kissable lips, we suggest using LANEIGE's Lip Sleeping Mask. Formulated without parabens, your pout will remain hydrated and protected with every use of this. It's so good that it's been ranked as a "community favorite" on Sephora!
Sephora
We're sharing innisfree's Super Volcanic Pore Clay Mask with our combination skin girlies in mind. Though all skin types can use it, we know having dry & oily areas on your face can be tough to conquer. But this mask contains ingredients like AHA that help stabilize your skin's oil production and it also acts as a natural exfoliant.
Sephora
Did you really think we were rushing past your under eye care? We're serious about it and want you to feel your best, so we're sharing Topicals Faded Under Eye Brightening & Clearing Eye Masks. They may be cute to look at, but they also have plumping and hydrating properties that will make you look well-rested.
Sephora
Universal/Translucent
We love e.l.f.'s Power Grip Primer, but we know everyone isn't a fan of it's "sticky" feel. To get the same makeup base that it provides, try applying Danessa Myricks Beauty Yummy Skin Blurring Balm Powder before you put on your foundation or skin tint! It feels like a face balm, but dries down to a hydrating, matte finish that makes your makeup stay in place.
Sephora
Deep 1
Don't let the "lack" of shade options scare you away because Ami Colé's Skin-Enhancing Tinted Moisturizer is spot-on with its shade-matching. The colors are spot-on and they offer a natural finish that's skin-like.
Sephora
2N Maple
If you want to keep the matte party going, Laura Mercier's Tinted Moisturizer has an oil-free and matte version that oily skin will appreciate. It has SPF in it and won't clog your pores like some foundations do.
P.S. It's light coverage, so you may want to follow up with concealer or a loose powder that matches your complexion.
Sephora
Playtint
Lip and cheek blush stains aren't new, but Benefit's version makes us feel like it is. It's long-wearing formula stays in place all day and won't dry your lips out. Did we mention it's also smudge and transfer-proof?
Sephora
Our favorite loose setting powder has to be Huda Beauty's Easy Bake Blurring product. It's non-Comedogenic (goodbye pore-clogging ingredients) and light-weight, so you don't need a lot.
Pro Tip: After pressing your beauty sponge into it, blow off some of the excess product for a flawless look. You can also tap some of the product on the back of your hand to help avoid unnecessary creasing under your eyes.
Sephora
We haven't tested if ONE/SIZE by Patrick Starr's On 'Til Dawn Setting Spray is waterproof yet, but we do swear by how long-lasting it is. We're also fond of it being vegan and cruelty-free because that matters too!
Sephora
Burst
Are we being biased about lip and cheek stains? You can say that, but we'll share why. In a world where it's easy to be heavy-handed with a powder, liquid or cream blush, we're all about using products that make our makeup routine easier.
Sephora
In the market for a new curling iron that you don't have to fight tooth and nail with? You'll love T3's Single Pass design! Created with all hair types in mind, it's sleek and has an extra-long barrel that'll fit around your hair without burning it.
Sephora
Every time we see honey in a product, we know it's going to give us the hydration we need! In this case, Gisou's Gloss Ceramide Therapy Hair Mask contains properties that strengthen your hair while adding shine to it.
Sephora
Oils shouldn't weigh your hair down and Olaplex knows this. Their bonding formula gives you the healthiest shine while combatting frizz and heat damage which probably explains why it's so popular!
Sephora
Sometimes your hair needs extra attention and we know just the product you need: Fenty Beauty by Rihanna's The Comeback Kid Repair Hair Treatment! It helps undo the effects of heat damage, chemical and color styles while helping to restore your hair to it's former glory.
Sephora
Speaking of color-treated hair, you often need specialized shampoo to maintain your new style and the health of your hair. That's where K18's Biomimetic Hairscience Peptide Prep Detox Shampoo steps into the picture. It may remove product buildup and an excess of oil production (sebum), but it doesn't strip your hair!
Sephora
Those with curly hair can use mousse and that's something BREAD BEAUTY SUPPLY is aware of. Their foaming lotion is incredibly soft and helps to repair your hair each time you apply it.
Sephora
You know how we feel about press-on nails, but we have to say Glamnetic holds a special place in our hearts. You could be a minimalist or maximalist girl, but there's sure to be designs that fit your personal aesthetic.
Sephora
Glamnetic also has a bruch-on nail glue that makes applying press-on nails super easy. You won't have to worry about applying to much glue because the brush picks up the perfect amount that will coat your nails so you apply whatever designs you have on-hand.
Sephora
Don't skip taking care of your hands the way you do your face or hair! Soft Services' warm gourmands Retinol Hand Cream helps keep your appendages nice and supple while also making sure your cuticles look taken care of.
Sephora
If smelling warm & spicy scents that aren't food makes you quiver in disgust, try applying L'Occitane's Strengthening Shea Nail and Cuticle Oil to your hands. It has shea, apricot, and sweet almond oil in it to help replenish any lost moisture which is possible if you use your hands a lot!
We can't wait to see what you snagged during Sephora's sale!

Trader Joe’s knows our love for sweet treatsway too well and just dropped the spring dessert to rule all spring desserts. Packed with tart and tropical notes, this fancy find (ahem, it’s imported from France!) already has TJ’s shoppers going crazy. Fans say the limited-time item is “so good” and could even be the “best dessert there in a long time.” 👀
Trader Joe's
The new find is none other than the Passion Fruit Meringue Tartelettes, a new dessert in Trader Joe’s frozen aisle that’s only available for a limited time. The treat hails straight from France, where the crust is prepped by an expert baker to “crisp, crumbly” perfection before being filled with a refreshing passion fruit curd and topped with meringue. Equal parts sweet and tart, this bite is ideal for springtime refreshment.
Trader Joe’s shoppers (including us!) are already geeking out about the passion fruit-powered tartelettes, even though they just hit shelves.
“These tarts are INCREDIBLE!!!! 🤤” one person commented on Reddit.
“I LOVE these!” another Redditor said. “Best dessert there in a long time.”
This bougie box comes with two tartelettes for a mere $5. All you have to do to enjoy ‘em is thaw them in the fridge for a couple hours after stowing them away in the freezer for safe keeping! The fact that this treat comes in a 2-pack also makes it perfect for an at-home date night dessert to share with your boo – or just your BFF for a fun evening hang!
Per Trader Joe’s the Passion Fruit Meringue Tartelettes are only available during the spring with a “decidedly limited” supply. Add this fun find to your list for your next TJ’s run – you won’t regret it.

Starbucks
Here's the full lineup for this year's Starbucks summer menu:
Starbucks
Yummm. Inspired by horchata, we anticipate this new shaken espresso flavor from Starbucks to have notes of cinnamon and coconut, both of which pair really well for a light and refreshing sip – much needed in the summer! Per some Starbucks employees on Reddit, it looks like it'll be crafted using an all-new horchata syrup, too. 👀
Starbucks
That's right: Starbucks' boba drinks are officially coming back! Launching next month, the chain's blue-tinted Summer-Berry Refreshers come with a serving of raspberry-flavored popping boba to elicit summertime fun. The boba pearls were very divisive among baristas and customers when they hit menus in 2024.
Last year, this lineup of Refreshers came in three variations: the Summer-Berry Refresher, the Summer-Berry Lemonade Refresher, and the Summer Skies Drink (mixed with coconut milk). The last two will definitely be returning to the summer menu for 2025! After a taste test from last year's launch, the Summer Skies ended up being our favorite.

Lastly, Starbucks is introducing a brand-new cake pop flavor for summertime: Strawberries & Cream! Some Starbucks employees on Reddit noted that it'll include a strawberry cake base with buttercream, which sounds so yummy. This new bite will join the existing cake pop trio of Birthday Cake, Chocolate, and Cookies & Cream.
If you've been rewatching The Breakfast Club since 1985, then there's a good chance you've been waiting for a full cast reunion. Well, in honor of the film's 40th anniversary on February 15, 2025, the five Breakfast Club stars (Molly Ringwald, Judd Nelson, Ally Sheedy, Emilio Estevez, and Anthony Michael Hall) just reunited for the first time since the '80s! The cast spoke on how special it was to be together — and Emilio finally revealed why he's never been a part of the reunions before. Let's get into it!
@c2e2official We're HONORED to have the first-ever full cast reunion of The Breakfast Club with Judd Nelson, Molly Ringwald, Ally Sheedy, Emilio Estèvez, and Anthony Michael Hall here in Chicago at C2E2! ❤️

The Breakfast Club cast reunited at the Chicago Comic & Entertainment Expo on April 12 for a panel conversation.
“I feel really, very emotional and moved to have us all together,” Molly Ringwald said (via Today). “This is the first time that Emilio has joined us. We don’t have to use the cardboard cutout anymore because he’s here.”
Emilio never joined the other cast reunions (like appearing at the 2010 Oscars), and finally revealed why during the conversation. "I skipped all of my high school reunions, so this just was something that finally I felt I needed to do just for myself," he told moderator Josh Horowitz. "Somebody told me that Molly said, 'Well, does Emilio just not like us?' And that broke my heart. I thought, 'No, of course, I love all of them.' And this just made sense, so here I am."
Two stars from the movie (Emilio Estevez and Ally Sheedy) appeared in Andrew McCarthy's Hulu documentary Brats in 2024, which explores the effects of an infamous 1985 New York Magazine article dubbing the group of young actors (which also included Andrew, Demi Moore, and Rob Lowe) the "Brat Pack."
But considering this is the first time the full Breakfast Club cast has been together since the 1980s, the reunion felt like a homecoming. "This [reunion] felt special," Emilio continued. "It’s here in Chicago, where we made the film, and obviously the 40th anniversary, and it just felt like it was time."
