Sephora Birthday Haul: Splurge-Worthy Finds You’ll Love!

My Sephora Birthday Haul: Haircare Restocks, New Finds & Freebies!

I’m not typically a big spender, and I’m very selective about where my money goes. But this year, I decided to splurge—after all, it was my birthday! What better excuse to treat myself?

For weeks, I had been adding and removing items from my Sephora cart, carefully debating my final picks. When the big day arrived, I finally took the plunge! I stocked up on essentials and indulged in a few new items I had been eyeing. Now that I’ve had time to test them out, here’s what I think!

Haircare Restocks: Trusty Favorites

DevaCurl Super Curly Line

I’ve officially returned to DevaCurl , this time with the Super Curly line. I had previously used the Decadence line, but it didn’t work well for my hair. This new buy reminded me why I loved the original formula—my curls feel more vibrant, bouncy, and healthy.

Bonus: My set included an extra bottle of the Supercream Coconut Curl Styler! Since my previous purchases lasted me a full year, I know this restock will too.

DevaCurl B’Leave-In Miracle Plumper

Another must-have I restocked! I loved my first bottle, and after running out, I knew I had to get another. Sephora doesn’t carry the larger size, so I settled for the standard bottle.

This time, I tried mixing it with the Light Defining Gel—and wow, what a difference! My hair holds better, stays hydrated, and feels softer. While DevaCurl products are on the pricier side, they last longer and work better when used together rather than mixed with other brands.

New Products to Try

Briogeo Don’t Despair, Repair! Hair Mask

Deep conditioning is non-negotiable in my routine, and I typically use damage-repair treatments. This time, I wanted something focused on hydration, and the Briogeo hair mask stood out because of its thick, rich texture.

After just one use, my hair felt moisturized for three to four days—longer than usual! Despite its density, I barely made a dent in the container, making it an excellent value for the price.

Perricone MD No Makeup Essentials Kit

I rarely wear makeup these days, but visible pores still bother me. This three-step kit caught my eye because it promises light coverage while evening out skin tone.

So far, I love the natural, no-makeup makeup look it provides. My main concern was whether it would make my skin oily, but so far, the formula has been manageable.

If you’re someone who prefers lightweight, minimal makeup, this is a great choice.

The Freebies: Perfect Birthday Treats

I didn’t spend many Sephora points, but I still snagged some great samples!

Fragrance Minis

I’ve been exploring Juicy Couture perfumes, so I picked up samples of:

• WildFox Eau de Parfum
• Yves Saint Laurent Mon Paris Eau de Parfum

Both smell amazing, and I’m excited to experiment more before committing to a full-size bottle.

Skincare and Makeup

• Bare Minerals Veil Setting Powder – I’ve heard great reviews and can’t wait to try it.

• Glamglow Clearing Treatment – My birthday gift! Perfect for breakout-prone skin when I wear makeup again.

• Kate Sommerville Daily Cleanser – Still waiting to try this one, but hoping it lives up to the hype for acne-prone skin.

Final Thoughts

This Sephora haul was so worth it! I rediscovered my haircare favorites, tried some new must-haves, and treated myself to amazing freebies.
