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.

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..

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.

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!)

Love that idea!

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! ❤

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!!

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! ❤

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

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!

That lipstick color is beautiful on you Nikki❤❤❤

What is the color?

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! ❤❤

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

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. 😂

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

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 ♥️🌹

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

I love this look! You look so beautiful ❤

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.

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

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.

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

That skin finish.. OMG ❤

The eyebrows & lips & EYE-CATCHING today 🤩 As always, you look stunning!

You look absolutely stunning! That lip!!

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! ❤

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🤩🤩🤩

I love “Half Red”!!

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! ❤

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 ☺️

Thank you Nikki. Love ALL your videos but especially your recommendations ❤

This landed just in time! Your list was the one I was looking forward to the most! ❤ Thank you for taking the time to share your list. Love ya! ❤

Love this!! Thank you for taking the time to try everything for us. You're the best!

I’m picking up Gucci powder blushes for the first time, super excited!

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

The Danessa Myricks cream blushes are amazing for oily skin too! It's a cream-to-powder finish.

LOVE the lip color you are wearing, super flattering!

Thank you, Nikki! Another great video! 🫶🏻

I appreciate your honesty, Nikki. Thank you.

Thanks for your suggestions. I ordered many of them❤

AMAZING VIDEO NIKKI!!! This will be one I return to over and over. Thank you!

Ok…so I am loving the vest!! Thanks for the link….and of course, your essentials for the Sephora events are really appreciated!!❤

Im glad I took your advice about Prisme Libre. Best finish of any powder I have

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

I'm beyond excited huda is doing fragrance free setting powder!!

Thank you for your recs. Your look is very pretty! Just gorgeous🥰

The make-up forever artist pencils are my favorite lip liners. I have a beautiful pink one that is just perfect on my lips.

I got the Haus Labs highlighter in Rose Quartz because Mitch loved it.

Always great recommendations. BUT, I want to know what eyeshadows, blush, bronzer, lipstick/lipgloss you are wearing in this video. I am going to a black tie event in 2 weeks and this look would be perfect!!

Going to try the Dior Maximizer for better lashes!! Thank you.❤

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

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

I picked up the YSL mascara today based on your recommendation and I am in LOVE!! Thank you!

This is the video I was waiting for to star my shopping spree. You are quickly becoming one of my favorite makeup artists.

I trust all of your make up recommendations! Thank you so much for all of your hard work!

Wow, Nikki. Thank you for such great suggestions. It's obvious how much work went into you helping us. You're so awesome!

This video is EXCELLENT! Thank you Nikki!

Nikki, I wish I could buy all of these products you’re presenting!! You look flawless!! ❤❤ Thank you for showing these. Consistently mentioned ones I will get for sure. Thank you so much!

Love the tips!! Cleaning my brush now!

Thanks for putting in so much time and effort on this video. Your recommendations have helped me alot, so thank you.

I love the cream blushes you recommended! For my pro kit I picked up all of the Tower28 and the Danessa cream blushes. Had to restock on the Givenchy #3 loose powder for sure and I actually picked up #5 now from this video. I’m adding to cart the Sephora liners now, that coconut shade looks so good and I keep forgetting to pick it up. This video was my reminder to do it! That’s the “so far” I’m sure I’m going to find more “needs” for my kit 😅

Your makeup is stunning xx

I picked up the ABH brow freeze gel Easter weekend and it is amazing. Definitely a must have along with the LYS bronzer.

Nikki I loooove your recommendations 💖 every single thing I tried did their thing 💖

That was amazing . Thank you for taking the time to share the core essentials. Again, I love your eye makeup so much. Wish you would do a tutorial on that one of these days.

Thanks Nikki!

Love watching your videos 🥰 thank you for all the time and effort you put into your content 😍

After a few weeks from the purchase, I must say: thank you so much, Nikki! I was not a big pencil fan, but your suggestion from MAKE UP FOREVER line was perfect! Love the pencils, colors on point - getting addicted to their versatility! Same goes for the Anastasia's pencils!

Nikki your videos and content are ESSENTIAL for me as a makeup artist! Your recommendations are the only ones I trust for my kit. I do have a question though, I want to try the dior backstage foundation but I’m not sure what shades to go for?? What shades do you have in your pro kit? Xx
