Temptalia As beauty editors, we get bombarded with a ton of new products every day (we know-tough life). Reviewed is a series where we report on some of the best products we've tried. Whether it's a drugstore lipstick that lasted all day or a hand cream that saved us this winter, you'll find all of our favorites in this column.

Been wearing the same makeup look since the beginning of the year?В Wouldn't know where to start to mix up your hair repertoire? Got that same nude mani booked on repeat? You, my friend, are in a beauty rut, but fear not-we're going to help you get out of it. It's our job to try new beauty trends as and when they appear onВ runways or social media feeds, but more often than notВ we'll sign them off asВ well-intentioned trials that didn't work out.

It's no secret that when Stila brings out a new collection, the beauty world stops and watches. From its Stay All Day foundation to its cult liquid eye shadows, Stila's new launches quickly find a permanent place in our makeup bags. But the brand's new fall collection (appropriately named Vivid and Vibrant) is different.

Isabella Behravan A few months ago, I decided I was done playing whack-a-mole with my blackheads. I had waged that war for years, with all manner of weapons-lancets, regular facials, brightening oils, pore strips, clay masks-some more effective than others, at least temporarily, but all ultimately useless.

This week's Sephora Weekly Wow Sale falls on the first day of the month. What better way to kick off March than with a sale shopping spree? The answer is that there is no better way. Especially when the aforementioned beauty sale consists of five different skincare and makeup products (though, between you and me, there are many more discounts awaiting our perusing eyes on the brand's main sale page-including one of our favorite lip products, the Bite Beauty High Pigment Pencil, which is priced at only $10.

Sephora Update: According to Sephora, there's actually no reason to freak out about expiring points. After rumors swept the web regarding changes to the store's rewards program policy, Sephora reached out to us to make a key clarification: Those points will expire after 18 monthsВ only if the account has been inactive during that time.

It's Thursday. That means it's one more day before the weekend hits and we're free to lounge, Netflix, shop, or brunch to our heart's desire. That also means that a new Sephora Weekly Wow Sale just dropped with brand-new brands and products discounted for six days only-until next Wednesday. Then, as has been the practice each and every week since the sale was instated last summer, a new curation of discounted products becomes available.

Courtesy of Sephora It's the most wonderful time of year-Sephora's spring edition of its VIB sale is upon us once again. While members of VIB (and the coveted VIB Rouge) get 15% off storewide, note that you don't have to have elite status to get in on the sweet deals-even Beauty Insiders can score 10% off everything.

Lip Gloss is My Life Sephora's Weekly Wow Sale allows you to shop a small collection of buzzy and well-loved products at significant discounts. And by significant we mean up to 50% off . There's usually no rhyme or reason to which products or brands are included in each week's sale (as far as we're concerned at least), but that makes it even more exciting.

The holidays are on the horizon, and we've got gifts on the brain-beauty gifts, to be specific.В Like any self-respecting beauty hoarder, I scan theВ Sephora holiday gift collection each year when it first drops to get my wish list in order. You can split it up by budget (under $10, under $25, and so on) and by type (makeup,В skincare, etc)-so it's the most convenient one-stop-shop for all things giftable.

Until the holidays have officially arrived, we'll keep checking in on Sephora's Weekly Wow Sale every Thursday morning on the dot. Okay, we do that every week anyway, regardless of the season, but the holidays make it even more exciting. Whether it's for extra stocking stuffers or last-minute gifts, the sale-which discounts buzzy beauty products up to 50% off-is definitely appreciated.

In case you missed it, last week Sephora oh so casually dropped a bombshell announcement on us. They introduced a new sale series happening weekly (yes, every single week!), called theВ Weekly Wow. They kicked it off with cult favorite products from Anastasia Beverly Hills, Stila, and Tarte, all priced at 50% off.

Alas, the holiday season is over. People are putting away wrapping paper and bows, clearing away confetti and champagne glasses, and tossing the final few stale desserts from the fridge. Between considering our resolutions and goals (and catching up with a mountainous amount of work after holiday vacation), we're checking in on the first Sephora sale of the New Year.

As each month comes to a close (see ya, November) it's time to look forward to what's next. In this case, it's the beginning of winter, the twinkly, magical feeling of the holiday season, and, perhaps the most exciting of all, a fresh new batch of beauty launches from Sephora.В To celebrate, we went through each one, carefully curating and researching to find the topВ 10В for you to obsess over.

Stocksy Every year we look forward to our birthdays, since they'reВ a day of reflection, goal-setting, and celebration. Actually, now that we think about it, our birthdays are like mini, personal New Years celebrations. We think back on the past year of our lives and look forward to the next. It also doesn't hurt that there are friends, family, presents, and cake involved either.

Sephora Allow us to unveil what we at Byrdie HQ describe as a “Sephora black hole.” You're going about your business, catching up on your daily beauty reading, and you find a product that catches your attention. You click the product to shop it, and you land on Sephora.com. You check out the ingredients list, the description, and scroll down to read the reviews section.

September is a major month in the fashion and beauty world, mainly because it hosts a little thing called fall fashion week-aka the time when next year's trends are debuted, pinpointed, and, in recent years, Instagrammed to no end. The same goes for beauty products-September is gearing up to be a big month for beauty brands, with exciting new products launching on the daily (we've got our eye on you, Charlotte Tilbury Matte Revolution Lipsticks).

@ CultBeauty Have you ever noticed just how good your skin looks on a Saturday? That necessary lie-in manifests itself in brighter eyes and a healthy, rosy flush across the cheeks. The lack of rude interruptions from your iPhone alarm lends your complexio

Imaxtree I have a not-so-secret confession: Before I started my career as a beauty journalist, I worked at Priceline. For seven years Australia's favouriteВ drugstore beauty destination was pretty much my home, and I still get nostalgic when I walk into one to this day. Whether you're an employee or not, there's no denying that Priceline know how to throw an epic sale.

Toners-what are they good for? Well, I'll tell you. While I used to think that they were fairly pointless, there are a host of them that contain vital ingredients that get at those hard-to-reach final bits of grime and makeupВ your first cleanse didn't get rid of. These days, I can't do my evening and morning skincare routines without a face toner, provided that it includes one key ingredient: glycolic acid.
