This week’s favorites post is coming a day early, because Sephora’s big annual sale starts tomorrow and I have a post all lined up with all of my beauty and skincare favorites!

The news this week has all been so heavy, and I could definitely use a little pick-me-up in the form of skincare.

On to the favorites.
