"Core Essentials" for the Sephora Savings Event!!!

[@joycemain]

I make myself follow 3 rules for the Sephora event. 1. Only buy brands that are not at Ulta. IMO Ulta has a better rewards program. Also, right now they have a coupon for 20% off everything (including prestige brands) for Diamond and Platinum members. 2. Only buy brands that never or rarely have their own discounts (e.g. Dior, Tom Ford, Patrick Ta, etc.). Some brands have deeper discounts on their site (e.g. Fenty, Huda Beauty). 3. Check the price at Sephora against Kohl’s. For example, the Sephora Collection About That Shine Lacquer Shine Lipstick is $16 at Sephora, but $9 at Kohl’s.

[@eightkindsofblue]

Thank you for the tips - didn’t know them!

[@catherinelynnfraser2001]

I also pick up products that I want to try but will never make a free shipping minimum or a cumulative discount. You know the sales: get 35% off 150 minimum..

[@Jaynna09]

Great tips! 💕

[@user-ds4xc4hv1d]

Armani just had 25% off for VIP members cost zero to join, I stocked up on foundation and mascara favorites.

[@KarenGaylor4712]

Like those tips. I only bought what I really wanted and could buy at a true discount: Valentino perfumes and makeup by Mario neutrals palate.

[@RamatoulieBo]

Thinking of the Tom Ford highlighter- I’d love to see a video of products you’ve changed your mind about (for better or worse!)

[@l.j.g.1172]

That's a great idea! 👌

[@KelliJackson-u5x]

Great idea for a video

[@mariagoriachkina3955]

Yes please 🙏

[@Peanut_taco_muffin]

Love that idea!

[@janelee4232]

Out of all of the Sephora recommendation videos out there (and there are a lot)…Nikki’s are the ones that I really sit up and pay attention to. I love this channel! ❤

[@Chickenfingers552]

You remind me of a modern version of Cher in her younger years! So gorgeous!

[@rachelerwin8823]

I thought so too!

[@Jennifer-uc2oh]

I was thinking Ashley Judd. But I can see Cher as well…maybe if Cher and a younger Ashley Judd had a love child.

[@sydneyschmidt7512]

I love this type of video because I would much rather have a recap of all of your core favorites instead of having to try and remember them all or go back and watch a bunch of videos. This is much easier! Thank you, Nikki! ❤

[@AC-qo8oq]

Exactly, hate when they say they don’t want to mention products they have talked about before. I need to know core

[@bearstreeet]

Struggling to listen to you because this mob wife look IS TOO PERFECT FOR WORDS! These shades are unreal on you! 🫨

[@TheKansasgirl33]

As a regular viewer, I wish I had a bingo card to use while watching this video. 😂 Many of these were not surprises, but I love that because it adds to Nikki’s authenticity in what she uses professionally and works personally. Love this!

[@Notperfecttonya]

I agree!!

[@absurd_avocado3287]

I'm beggingggg for a "what's in my pro kit" video please 🙏 I would love to see it and I'm also curious how you fit all of your products plus their multiple shades!!

[@christiedc5]

you look so fresh-faced and GORG in this video! 😍

I love how most of these products are being constantly repeated in your videos so most of these I already have bec u convinced me after so many repetitions 😂 & now I’m convinced to get the rest of these repeats 😅

[@Cecezhang777]

I second so many of the ladies here, you look so FRESH and that lip color you are killing Nikki!! Also as always, super appreciate the “all in one” recommended shopping list! ❤❤

[@lizbonfigli4656]

just purchased Patrick Ta just enough at Kohls. Sold out everywhere......can't wait. thanks for your channel.

[@catherinelynnfraser2001]

I love seeing that your favourite products are so stable. It means the formula hasn’t changed much and you’ve honed your tastes. There must be countless hours and faces behind your choices. Thank you for sharing ♥️🌹

I love this look! You look so beautiful ❤

[@mahathivenkatraman4892]

can we please get a tutorial to get the look you have on in this video Nikki? You look absolutely stunning ❤❤

Seriously?! I really love this look on her!

[@tinagarry7230]

Yes! I have an event coming up in a week and this would be a perfect look!

[@MaeMae-shagrin]

LYS is such an underrated brand. I love you have been talking more about the brand. I know you love the cream bronzer, but any product you buy is a gem. It’s a very consistent brand, and that’s incredibly rare in high end and drugstore brands.

[@traceyfehn7840]

I just purchased aprox 10 of their lip products during the sale. My first time purchasing this brand.

[@patsyroyal]

Your makeup is always flawless but it looks extra beautiful in this video. Glowing!

[@kuklakid]

I hope I can make your live tomorrow, but I want to say that this video is the reason why I love you so much. You teach. You don't play. You get to the point. I have some ideas when you do that "house", which I will share on that video page. Thank you for this.

[@tjeannine99]

Ooooh good time to pick up Tom Ford! I CANNOT WAIT for that full face!

[@jenysanchezm]

That skin finish.. OMG ❤

[@barndi]

Yes!!! 👍👍👍 So many Add to Cart products! Thank you Nikki!!!

[@shaylazumstien]

Nice to see someone else talking about the fenty beauty cream blushes!!! I love mine!!!!

[@audreyso1201]

I continually repurchase the “Monsieur Big” mascara from Lancome, it’s an essential for me, the “Half red” pencil from Mac. I love FENTY Glosses, they are all beautiful. The Dior foundation catches my eye. Thank you for this tutorial Nikki and have a great day🤩🤩🤩

[@lesliehatch-herman9325]

I love “Half Red”!!

[@BadCatMath]

I love, love, love the Westman Atelier mascaras in brown and black. It's fantastic!

[@MaeMae-shagrin]

I love this video and I don’t typically even watch the sale videos, but the fact you narrowed them down so much and showed products you love so much you have in your kit and personal collection says a lot. They aren’t just meh products you could live without. Even though I find the prices of most of these to be absurd, especially when you aren’t a working makeup artist, it does help on what to splurge on when you do wanna get a luxury item. I just find most makeup products you are paying such a high price simply because of the name or packaging, or as a makeup artist, having these products just makes you look more sophisticated and well to do if you will. You can’t be pulling out all Elf, LA Girl, Pixi, Wet and Wild, Maybelline (even when they are products that look and perform as good as high end/luxury) and still ask for a hundreds of dollars. 😂

[@mxmamma_774]

Love the lip color, it makes your eyes pop!!!! Thank you for sharing, you can get lost in the many products that are available, and getting key information about the ones that are worth it is great! You are my go to for makeup products as well have a similar skin tone! ❤

Hi Nikki, I have been following you for years. You are my absolute favorite. Your personality is top notch. You are absolutely gorgeous. Thank you for sharing with us ☺️

[@lexeebee1281]

LOVE that lip color on you!!!

[@DMMNCO]

Possible video idea: tips / tricks / recommendations for a variety of skin tones. Everything from glow in the dark like myself to the deepest of tones. I know it would be too much to have models for all of the tones, but just discuss. These products work really well for light complexions for barely there and glam makeup, and these work for deeper tones. I am just starting my makeup game (a little late, but that's ok), and I have a list of products you recommend, but I would love to understand more for my tone and im sure others would too. Thank you for all of the hard work you put into your channel for us! ❤

[@cinziapaolini6133]

Hi Nikki, Great round up of products and I will be restocking some of these products as well as skincare and hair products! Your make up today is just STUNNING and quite honestly, I had to playback what you were saying a few times because I was mesmerized as I kept staring in awe at your face😂❤!!

I just got the “I need a nude” 25% off directly from Natasha Denona. I am warm toned, a definite “warm Autumn” and yet this rather cool toned neutral is so glam and refreshing change on me. If you’re warm toned these taupe shimmers and foils will look a little silver, but not too much, just right

[@Brooke-le5ym]

Thanks! I'm going to buy this palette, but as VIB. I only get 15%! Heading to the ND site
