TGIF! Today I’m lucky to be faced with an unusually nice problem: a couple of my friends have recognized my addiction to Sephora and got me some gift cards. There’s nothing that I need (not that anyone really “needs” makeup, but you know what I mean) so what should I get for the fun of it? Let me know in the comments below and have a fantastic weekend!

Say Hello to Gorgeous 
That is an unusually nice problem! Check out: Gifted mascara from Tarte, the brightening violet powder from Besame, and anything Anastasia for the brows! 🙂
I’ve actually been wanting to try stuff from Anastasia for the brows. Right now, I fill mine in with eyeshadow
I used the brow powder and really enjoy it!!!
Good to know!
I am not sure what to recommend but happy spending!! 🙂
Haha, thank you Katie 🙂
You’re welcome! 🙂
If you love blushes.. You might want to check out Hourglass Ambient Blush..👍
I’ve heard so many good things about those blushes and they look so beautiful in store.
Yes they are.. You gotta try them.. It’s worth the $$..👍
My favorite is the Elizabeth and James nirvana black perfume roller ball!
Thanks, I’ll have to see how that smells on me 🙂
Love love Rosebud Salve! Not expensive at all, but it is a great product 🙂
I like inexpensive 😉
What about the Sephora Smart Liner? Sadly we don’t have a Sephora here in the UK, and had my eye on the smart liner.
Oh no! Actually, it’s probably better for you wallet not to have a Sephora
Check out any of their Favorites Kits! Well, I don’t think they really have any out at the moment besides their Beauty Closet one ($99 I think?) but usually they’re decently priced, and you’ll be able to try out a few different things!
Oh cool, I’ll have to look into it
Ohhhh I love your problem!! Such a great problem to have and wow, your friends are SO nice!! What a sweet thing to do! Have a fabulous Friday! XOXO
Haha, thanks. I’m a very lucky girl
I’m off to France next week and am planning a sephora visit! Would love to see what you get, I can tell I’m going to be spoilt for choice!x
Haha, I’ll let you know. You know there is so much that I’ve been eyeing, but it’s not like I’m lacking really anything in my own stash
Anything NARS!
I just got one of their products for my birthday present a few weeks ago and I like it a lot 🙂
The chocolate bar palettes are awesome!! 🙂
That’s something that’s been on my list for a long time. No, really, I try to make my boyfriend smell that palette every time we go into Sephora haha
It’s so worth it, I use mine all the time and the smell is great lol
I love Kat Von D’s line at Sephora, especially the liquid eyeliner and liquid lipsticks (and she’s cruelty free!)
Thank you! I was about to ask if she was cruelty-free 🙂
NARS creamy concealer is a lovely treat, Anastasia brow wiz is a dream, the Marc Jacobs Lolita palette is gorgeous, Laura mercier radiance primer and setting powders, buxom lash, NARS blushes, stila stay all day liner.
Thanks so much for all the suggestions!
Sephora has cool stuff but I don’t shop much there, is kind of pricey and I can get same or better quality products with less money. I’m on savings! ;)) I did get one URBAN DECAY NAKED palette and 3 lip liners from there and that was my first time I bought something . Is a cool shop though. 🙂
How do you like the Naked palette and which did you get? I think about getting one every time I go in there, but have managed to talk myself out of it
I got the NAKED 1 as it matched my skin tone which is more with yellowish tones , I like the brush they have for this palette, the colors are nice but for the money is really not that impressive. I have cheaper products with better texture and longer lasting. I also got the eye shadow primer but it’s not a 24h last at all but I have oily eye lids. Maybe for other people works better. ;)) I just did my fancy as I wanted to have it. 🙂
Gotcha and thanks for letting me know. Yeah, 12 colors really isn’t a lot of the $50 or so that it costs
Honestly if it was better than others was worth it. The brush is a good quality one . 🙂
Anastasia eyebrow shadow set is amazing! And Urban Decay eye primer.
I really love UD’s eye primer, but recently I’ve been using wet n wild’s which is much cheaper, but I love it
I’ll have to try it!
I hope you like it! It’s been a huge money saver for me
Try the Marc Jacobs concealer brush. Totally changes your concealing game!
Ooo, I’ll take a look at it
Makeup Forever HD foundation and the Beauty Blender sponge.
Is the beauty blender sponge really worth it? I hear some people rave about it and others say it’s just “meh”
Yes, I love it! It’s great for when you need to apply products over blemishes/breakouts, and when applying products to dry skin. As much as I love my flat top kabuki, now that my skin is dry I have to use my beauty blender.
Thats my current foundation go-to! Love them both.
Anything from Bite Beauty! No joke, their lip products are just amazing quality and worth the splurge!
Are they the ones that have a store in NYC that will make custom lipstick for you?
They are! I haven’t gone to NYC to the custom lip lap, yet. But the regular line of products from Sephora are amazing!
Thanks!
I love Nars lipstick and the collection that Sephora carries is amazing! Or their skincare selection in their “Topseller” section 🙂 xo~ Lena

Funny you should mention that, because I’ve been eyeing the Nars lipstick….among many other things, haha
Don’t know what you should get, but I definitely need to get new friends 😉 Lucky You! I guess I’d buy a set of make-up brushes. One can never have too many of those (I keep losing mine) Happy Shopping!!
Lol, you know my friends and I don’t usually exchange gifts. I’m not sure what’s happening this year but I like it 🙂
You have such lovely friends 🙂 I am a bit of a #Narsissist: their concealer is amazing and so is the sheer glow foundation.
I know. It was such a nice unexpected thing 🙂
Absolutely, they know you well 😀
Atelier Cologne Absolue! It’s expensive for full size, but they have a set of 2 minis for a really good price. One is vanilla and one is an orangey, citrus smell and they’re really nice alone or layered!
I’ve actually never heard of that, but it sounds like the minis smells awesome. I’m going to have to test it on myself in the store, haha
So nice of your friends to give you a gift card! Have fun shopping! You could try some Becca products or Origins skincare 🙂
Thanks 🙂
I am addicted too. I love NARS creamy concealer and tarte bronzer!
Ooo, good choices 🙂
What awesome friends ❤ I wish I could recommend but we don't have an Sephora stores over here *sob* However happy spending and let us all know what you treated yourself to 😉 Have a great weekend xo
You too, Karen 🙂
Bumble and bumble surf spray to get ready for spring!
It’s right around the corner
Hourglass Veil Primer and Ambient Lighthing Powder, Tarte blush, Anastasia brow wiz, Ole Henriksen skincare
Ah, thanks for all your suggestions
That’s an awesome present, enjoy! Anything Kat Von D but my top three picks of her’s are her Lock-It Tattoo Foundation, Primer and Lock N’ Load Make-Up setting mist.
Happy spending 🙂
Thanks!
I don’t know what to recommend but I look forward to seeing what you purchase 🙂
Thanks 🙂
I am really loving the Hourglass Ambient Blush. 🙂 Anastasia Brow Powder is also great along with Stila Liquid eyeliner. 🙂
I might have to try Hourglass
My faves are any of Urban Decay 24/7 eyeliner pencils, Smashbox eyelash primer, or Anastasia Brow Wiz pencil and Duo Brow powder. I also love NARS blushes! Trying to get into more NARS products in general since I keep hearing people rave about them!
Thanks for all your suggestions!
Another vote for Anastasia brow powder!
It’s popular stuff!
The eyeshadows from Sephora are amazing and their professional brushes! Give them a go! 😉
Lots of xx, Annie

Thanks Annie. You have a wonderful weekend, love
You’ve got to get the Hourglass 1.5 mm Mechanical Gel Liner. Sounds like an art tool? It is! There’s nothing like it, it is waterproof, it does not move. Great for anyone who wears contacts, especially. It’s without phthalates, sulfates, etc. Plus, Hourglass is an absolute master piece of makeup artistry, innovation, and they give you just what you need. Loving the liner… enjoy Sephora, my addiction too 🙂
Haha, it sounds awesome!!
I love Bare Minerals Complexion Rescue. It’s really lightweight and an overall great product!
Thanks!
I would love to try glam glow face mask 🙂
Hi, I nominated you for the Versatile Blogger award. Check out my post here:https://rachwat.wordpress.com/2015/03/02/the-versatile-blogger-award-2/#more-1139
Thank you!
I love Nest perfumes, which they sell at Sephora. My favorite is Indigo!
Never tried them, but I will 🙂
This is a bit late but my favorite things from sephora would be the too faced chocolate soleil matte bronzer, the hour glass ambient lighting blush, the anastasia Beverly Hills brow pencil, and the chocolate bar palette by too faced. So amazing, you lucky girl! Some good friends!
I have the Too Faced chocolate bronzer and it is the best! I love it
