It's one thing to see the beauty products that are trending on Instagram, but wouldn't you like to peek into some shopping bags to see what people are actually buying? After all, it's one thing to lust after a product; it's another to bring it into your beauty regimen. Since we were curious to know which products are the most shopped at Sephora, we did a little sleuthing to unearth the skin care, hair care, makeup, and more that are selling like wild.

What do all of these products have in common, you ask? They're popular because they don't just make people look their best — they're effective, versatile, and useful for just about everyone. As you may have guessed, Sephora shoppers aren't into skin care that doesn't do anything. Instead, they're buying potent serums and treatments with active ingredients such as retinol, vitamin C, and hyaluronic acid. For makeup, right now the eyes have it — especially if it involves buttery-soft shadows and neutrals with a twist. Plus, the most-purchased hair products not only strengthen and repair brittle strands, they also protect against future damage. Interestingly, shoppers are willing to spend their cash on hairstyling tools that reduce clutter, simplify the process, and make it easy to achieve salon-quality results at home. (Not a bad investment at all, when you think about it that way.)

So if you, too, want to know the most shopped beauty products at Sephora, read on because we've got the receipts.

Drunk Elephant Protini Polypeptide Moisturizer

It isn't easy for one moisturizer to make almost everyone happy, but somehow Drunk Elephant Protini Polypeptide Moisturizer ($68) is doing just that. Suitable for all skin types from dry to oily, this fast-absorbing formula is loaded with peptides — the amino-acid chains responsible for building collagen. And the more collagen your skin has, the bouncier and smoother it will be. No wonder this bestseller is such a crowd-pleaser.

"Nude" means different things for different people, but here's the great thing about Huda Beauty The New Nude Eyeshadow Palette ($65): This collection of 18 warm-toned shadows looks good on a wide range of skin tones.

Sol de Janeiro Brazilian Bum Bum Cream ($45)

Over the past few years, Sol de Janeiro Brazilian Bum Bum Cream ($45) quietly picked up a deeply devoted following of people who just happen to also have incredibly soft, smooth, hydrated bodies. OK, so it's no coincidence. This sunshine-in-a-jar cream temporarily firms skin with caffeine, and it leaves a subtle shimmer behind. As for the caramel-vanilla fragrance, it's delicate but substantial enough that you can easily forgo perfume and still be the best-scented around.

Farmacy Cheer Up Brightening Vitamin C Eye Cream With Acerola Cherry

Farmacy Cheer Up Brightening Vitamin C Eye Cream With Acerola Cherry

An eye cream that tightens and brightens is the skincare holy grail, and Farmacy Cheer Up Brightening Vitamin C Eye Cream With Acerola Cherry ($45) certainly fits the bill. Vitamin C, derived from acerola cherry, banishes dullness, while caffeine helps firm puffy eyes. As for the pretty light pink hue of the cream, well, that's just another reason to feel cheerful.

Supergoop! Unseen Sunscreen SPF 40

You know how some sunscreens leave a weird white film all over everything? Yeah, well, Supergoop! Unseen Sunscreen SPF 40 ($34) doesn't do that. Nor does it have a strange scent or pill under makeup or feel heavy on your skin. What it does do, however, is protect skin from harmful UV rays (thanks, SPF 40!) while simultaneously guarding it from the effects of blue light — better known as the light wavelength emitted by phone and computer screens.

It's formulated with brightening active ingredients including phytic acid (to exfoliate), tranexamic acid (especially effective on melasma!), and a derivative of azelaic acid (to brighten).

ReFa Carat Face
sephora.com

ReFa Carat Face

Skin massage is big these days, but ReFa Carat Face ($220) is a step above most face rollers. Two faceted platinum rollers help tighten puffy skin, while a solar panel (see, we told you it was next-level) generates a microcurrent to lift and firm.

Dyson Airwrap Styler
sephora.com

Dyson Airwrap Styler

The most common risk of styling one's hair is the heat damage caused by too-hot tools. That's why the Dyson Airwrap Styler ($549) is such a worthwhile investment. A single base comes with a dryer, various barrels to create curls and waves, and three different brushes. Better still, the heat control measures air temperature more than 40 times per second, so you'll avoid the overheated temperatures that damage strands in the long term.
