We’re huge Sephora fans here at Rank & Style. As lovers of all things beauty, we can’t help but find ourselves constantly on the search for the next product sure to gain a cult following. We’re trying and retrying the cosmetics, skincare, and hair products beauty editors and bloggers are going gaga for and in turn, we’re seriously ranking in the Beauty Insider Points. But at the end of the day, we got to thinking, if we only had $50 to spend at our happy place (i.e. the black and white striped, deliciously smelling beauty-tailor we all know and love) what would we buy? So, we took a poll and created a list of our staff’s favorite Sephora buys all under $50. From the round brush that will make you feel like you just stepped out of Drybar to face masks that dig deep to clear your skin of impurities and give you a lasting glow, our Top 10 Sephora picks changed our lives and we’re pretty sure they’re going to change yours. Consider us your trusted beauty advisors and scroll down! Opening image: @MarcJacobsBeauty
