Sephora

Peaseblossom55 · February 2013

So I have a $50 gift card to sephora, that I'm hoping to spend on Monday. Any suggestions of what to buy? There is really nothing I need, but what should I get? I was thinking of getting some eyeshadow primer, any suggestions on brands?

Thanks for any suggestions or tips!

Eyeshadow Primer - Urban Decay Primer Potion

I usually go in store and look for fun stuff. Maybe a new nail polish set or some fun lip stuff?

I heard good things about the Urban Decay Primer, thank you Pee K.
Have fun in NJ this weekend!

Whenever I get a gift card for Sephora or Ulta I usually buy something I've never tried before but my go to brand is either MAC, Bare Minerals or Too Faced.

I also like Sephora's house brand, it's not overly expensive so if you buy something you don't like you don't feel like "oh crap I spent $30 on primer and I'm screwed". I get a lot of my eyeshadows for going out from their house brand.

I'm jealous! I love Sephora (and Ulta)

I like the idea of browsing around for some eye shadows too! Thanks!

I really like these brands:

Urban Decay
Nars
Lorac
Benefit
Tarte
Too Faced
Dior

I usually look for a set or palette so that I can try multiple items. Then if there is something I really like I can go back and buy the full size if I need more.

When I go to Sephora I usually get a couple new makeup brushes. I really like their selection. I also go to the Bare Minerals section.

I haven't really liked the Sephora brand makeup, but I do really like their skin care line! It is nice that it is not as expensive. Don't forget Sephora has an amazing return policy!

So my plan was to only use the $50 gift card but I may be spending more. I like the idea of new make up brushes too! I have two sets of make up actually one for every day use my clinique stuff and another set for theater make up. So if I ever get make up I'm not too fond or or some colors that aren't the best it goes into my theater make up bag.

I would totally buy new make up brushes. Other than that, I looove too-faced eyeshadow. Also, maybe a rollerball perfume? They're pretty inexpensive. My current favorite perfume is Kate Walsh's 'Boyfriend' (the original one, not the 'Billionaire' one, which smells gross, imo.).

I second the Urban Decay Primer. I also like anything by Make Up For Ever - especially their HD microfinishing powder. It just gives your makeup that 'set' look if that makes sense.

I can't go out of there and not spend less than $100 bucks and TBH I don't really wear makeup at work, just when I go out but I think the least amount I've spent at Sephora was like $150

I think I might to to Ulta this weekend and get some new foundation. My goal today is to at least book a color at my salon, I have some grey hair and the roots are baaad.

I THIRD the Urban Decay primer potion. Easy to apply, lasts a long time. There are several varieties but I like the gold tube the most--great as a primer and also a pretty shimmer that can be used on its own, too.

Hummingbird125 · February 2013

Yeah, I spend way too much there. I remember being so happy when I got to 500 Beauty Insider points, for the second time, until I realized that that meant I had spent over $1000 there in less than two years.

I just got one for Christmas. I bought the Wen hair care package (comes with shampoo/conditioner, treatment, and spray) and I just got it in the mail today. It's supposed to be miraculous so we shall see!
