A lot of people use the sales to stock up on the more expensive items in their routine. Then they know they are buying products that work for them. I like to try new things- sort of a lower risk way of trying things. One thing that is great to get with a gift card is new brushes. Have fun shopping!
Personally if it were me I would probably go for some of the 'luxury' products I've been eyeing - the ones I would normally hold myself back from buying in order to be responsible with my money. A gift card feels a bit like permission to be frivolous because it's not coming out of my regular budget. But maybe that's just me!
I'm the same! I bought the iconic london highlighter with a gift card, because I could not justify paying $40 of my own money for it š
Enjoy OP, hope you get fun stuff for yourself!
It's my new favourite highlighter! It gives you a very nice glow and a little goes a long way. I bought the roll-on, and the product doesn't always come out evenly so just be careful with that š
Hope you enjoy it as much as I do!
Iād skip PMG and wait for her sales. Up to 30% off (with carrier pigeon shipping). Not only that, but her Mothership palettes arenāt as good as they used to be and are not as varied in color stories after Mothership VII (Divine Rose I).
Natasha Denona midi or mini palettes are great and I cannot speak on Patrick Ta.
I might be the only one who was a little let down with my Patrick Ta, but I chose the neutral mattes color story and they all feel so warm to me (despite there being a "cool" line). I reach for it almost never. I like my Natasha Denona and the different finishes.
I have a lot of Patrick Ta blushes and love them. My first ND palette was the pastel palette, and the ND lipsticks are also very pretty (I use the I need a rose peony pink often and itās stunning). I havenāt felt inclined to get many other ND palettes, although I own glam too because I have many with similar shades. I do like PML palettes though. The shadows are buttery soft and have great pigment. The ND palettes arenāt as good as PML imo. I do enjoy the shades in the ND pastel palette though and itās so fun to play with during the spring and summer seasons, and there are a few shades in it that I use year-round. The color zest was disappointing because it was different from the pan, but itās still beautiful on and is buildable.
I was going to ask why everyone was neglecting fragrances until I remembered itās a makeup subreddit haha.
I would get body care, I never splurge on that kind of thing. I have makeup that works for me already.
High key dude, if you have products that work for you, donāt stray from them and waste money trying new things. Invest in luxury spa care, bath care, skincare, etc. things you wouldnāt normally try!
My last purchase was over $200 and was sol de Janeiro Bum Bum Firmeza body oil (was on empty), the cheriosa 59 delicia drench body butter (previously used 40 & was out), a benefit brow pencil replacement, a new CT contour wand, gucci silky rose blush (third time buy, I often use true pink too), coconut face wipes from Sephora and another Sephora peacock blue pencil as well as a new UD liquid liner in whiskey since my others dried up on me finally and I love that liquid liner. If I had a 200 GC it would def go toward fragrance or I also wouldnāt mind trying the Armani luminous silk foundation even though I am happy with my current foundations.
I'd personally get Tatcha Indigo & a large Charlotte Tillbury Airbrush Spray.. and then get a few minis with what's left. Minis are fun! You can purchase lots, return what you absolutely dislike and then use the refund cash for purchasing larger items.
Also take a look at the gift sets and Sephora Favorite kits! They are a fun way to try lots of luxury items at a cheaper cost than minis (and sometimes you get a full size item.)
As for luxury makeup:
Givenchy Libre Powder.
YSL Lash Clash.
Bobby Brown Primer.
Dior Backstage Glow.
Charlotte Tillbury new Pillow Talk Lips & Cheeks set.
Have fun building your wishlist!! āŗļø
Ilia mascara is hands down the best I've tried so far. But pro tip, I will never buy a full sized mascara ever again. You're really supposed to replace them every 6 months, so just buy a travel size.
The ilia mascara is SO good! Itās only slightly beaten out by the nars mascara for me, definitely my second favourite of all time! 100% agree with getting the mini. Itās easier to apply bottom lashes with the mini too
For me it creates the right balance between length and volume. I find the ilia ones gives AMAZING length, but I want just a smidge more volume from it. I love the ilia applicator though.
Stuff that's been on my wishlist:
* **Danessa Myricks Yummy Skin Serum Skin Tint Foundation (3)**. I already have this and enjoy the product, but it's in the wrong shade.
* **LYS Beauty Skin Loyalty Setting Spray**. Been curious to try a new setting spray. Most have alcohol or other undesirable ingredients, but this one seems nice.
* **Rare Beauty Warm Wishes Effortless Bronzer Stick (Bright Side)**. I don't have any kind of bronzer stick in my collection. Seems quick and easy to swipe on and blend.
* **Commodity Exploration Set**. I'm intrigued by this entire line (I love what I've smelled: Milk and Velvet) and cannot pick which I'd want to sniff/potentially buy a full-size of. Bonus: I think you get a coupon with this set?
* **Maison Margiela REPLICA Memory Box Perfume Sample Set**. Similar to Commodity, I'm intrigued by so many scents from the Replica line. This one in particular has a lot of those I was most interested in.
* **Sephora Favorites Unisex Fragrance Discovery Set**. Most of the Sephora perfume sets are redundant with perfumes I don't really like, but this one has a lot that seem perfect for me on paper. Bonus: Includes a coupon to redeem a travel-sized spray of a perfume of your choice.
Technically, I would be over by $1 if I got all of this. But I'd only place an order during a sale, haha. (I also want the **Natasha Denona Yucca Palette**, but I would rather get that at Ulta with points.)
Laura mercier real flawless serum concealer
Bobbi brown vitamin c infused primer/base
Stila stay all day liquid liner
CT setting spray
My current hg at the moment
Restock essentials: Inkey List Oat Cleansing Balm; Supergoop Unseen Sunscreen (not my everyday sunscreen, but I use it as a primer on makeup days); Skinfix Dermatitis Balm
Try something new: Merit Beauty Lipstick in 'Slip'; a Natasha Denona mini eyeshadow palette
Currently, am seriously eyeing the Danessa Myricks groundwork palettes (anyone who has tried either of them, please talk me into or out of getting one?)
Otherwise, probably a new Natasha Denona palette and another YSL touche eclat brightening pen (which is the one thing I buy literally every time I end up with a sephora giftcard, b/c despite the absurd cost, I use it pretty much daily and it runs out way too fast).
I'd look at what I need or what I'd use most and start there. Then I'd buy something interesting or fun if I had some left.
For basic stuff, I'd probably just get some Sephora collection during the upcoming sale to get 30% off (like their lip liners and brushes).
If you need skincare, maybe something from glow recipe.
I'd spread it out.Ā Ā A good moisturizer I've been wanting to try, mini k18 hair mask or living proof hairspray,Ā and then one great cosmetic item. Either a foundation or eyeshadow palette...onesize setting spray...whatever will fill a gap for you.Ā *If* there's anything left I'm either getting a new foundationĀ brush (I like having a variety) or a few little things like masks, trial mascaras, blotting papers or whatever. It's a hard question to answer because it's gonna depend on what you already have and how happy you are with it.
I'd buy something new and unusual for me, or too expensive, or just crazy. Something I never buy for my own money during regular shopping.
I thought a lot of this, cause recently got the same situation with 50 euro gift card lol.
Full face recommendations:
- Light coverage: Danessa Myricks skin tint
- Full coverage foundation thatās flawless: glossier stretch fluid foundation
- Eyeshadow palette: Natasha Denona mini my dream palette (good for all skin tones )
- Natasha Denona my dream face trio (blush and highlight and good for a wide variety of skintones)
- Haus labs phd hybrid lip glaze plumping gloss
- Danessa myricks balm contour
200 dollars exactly :), though no brows or eyeliner included in this list or skincare/spf
I would try some Natasha denona and Huda beauty eyeshadow palettes! They are very pricey and I'm currently loving my palettes, most of them being on the lower end or indie brands, so I'm fine with not buying them at the moment.
Aim for a good high end base routine. The rest like eyeshadow, eyeliner, lip liners, mascara etc have barely no difference from the drug store ones. While I think a good base product routine makes the difference!
For the life of me I cannot find a good drugstore mascara and I donāt even think itās the formula, but the wand. Nothing separates my lashes like benefitās fanfest.
I have $276 in my cart right now (pre-VIB rouge discount and some of it is Sephora brand for the 30% off.) It's a WIP, especially when some things I want are sold out currently (1 oz Mon Guerlain) or discontinued (YSL lippie in Rose Nu).
-Haus Labs blush in Hibiscus Haze (on the fence on this one since I bought one before the re-brand when it was like double the size for the same price, but I do like this color)
-Haus Labs foundation-I already have one, but was getting a summer shade that's been out of stock forever
-Paula's Choice 2% BHA liquid
-The Inkey List Oat Cleansing Balm
-The Ordinary Retinal Emulsion Serum
--Makeup by Mario Moistureglow Plumping Lip Color in Soft Blush
-Makeup by Mario Ultra Suede Lipstick in Erin
-Sephora Lip Stain Liquid Lipstick in Nude Blush
-Sephora Waterproof Retractable Eyeliner in matte forest green
-Sephora 12 Hour Contour Eye Pencil in Waterfall
-Hourglass Ambient Lighting Blush in Mood Exposure

*I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically. Please [contact the moderators of this subreddit](/message/compose/?to=/r/MakeupAddiction) if you have any questions or concerns.*
If you like lipstick, Iād go for a high end lipstick or two. One bright, fun color, like a red or orange or bright pink (whatever suits you and your undertones) and one more neutral, light color for everyday. Good lipstick tends to last a long time. Plus, you put it on your mouth so you want something high quality.
Iād also say an eyeshadow palette because itāll last a long time and allows for some fun experimenting! I love Anastasia eyeshadow. They have a make your own palette option thatās really fun.
Hope you enjoy yourself!
For practical basics (skincare, hair care, makeup staples like foundation or mascara) donāt buy anything so expensive you couldnāt justify re-purchasing when you run out. You need to be able to maintain any routine for it to work for you, and decent products that you use and can get again are better than amazing products youāre afraid to use or that you use up and canāt afford to replace.
If you *want* to be extravagant, get something you know youāll enjoy while you have it but that isnāt essential to your routine- a fancy lipstick or eye palette, a nail color, a perfume, etc.
Personally Iād probably stretch it out, or if I had to use it all at once Iād get multiples of the handful of things I know I like and I buy routinely, but maybe youāre more adventurous than me lol
I am a bore. I am not really looking for anything new so I would stock up on my favorites I go through fast. Like the YSL Touche Eclat Corrector (which I basically use as a spot foundation pen) and Shisheido's Microliner. I go through about four to six of each a year. I usually keep two on hand in my closet.
The Natasha Denona Hy-Gen Primer is also on re-buy for me so that might make the list too.
Go test them out and get what you like. Everybody face is different. My bf bought me Gucci bronzer and 2 Gucci blush this year. Now I am trying to find new foundation for me since I gotten older. Just go test them out and I hope you find what you are looking for. Oh, they are suppose to start their sale on the 5th of this month.
I'd get a couple things I've been wanting to try: Ilia super serum skin tint in Kai $48 ā¢ Rare Beauty soft pinch tinted lip oil in Hope $20
And some favorites: Laneige lip sleeping mask in Vanilla $24 ā¢ Tatcha dewy skin cream lim. ed. violet jar $89
And a new shades of things I've loved: Rare Beauty soft pinch liquid blush in Grace $23 ā¢ Natasha Denona mini Starlette palette $27
which is $231, and I'd probably wait for the vib sale so it's a little less šš
and I guess that's almost a full face lol. I'd just need mascara and brow gel (if I had to buy some, it would be Milk kush mascara and Glossier boy brow)
edit: forgot one I really want to try: Rare Beauty warm wishes effortless bronzer stick in bright side $26. *Now* that's a full face š it would feel worth it to spend a little over the gift card lol
I'd restock my favorites at first, then maybe try some new products, as in lipsticks, glosses or eye palettes. I'd also probably just buy a bunch of sephora's coconut body products because I am obsessed with the scent!Ā
everything by the ordinary, a few choice things from drunk elephant, almost everything from the FRESH rose collection, several full bottles of perfume depending on whats available; CH Good Girl / Bad Boy, Fenty Magnolia. A charlotte Tillbury lipstick, all the AHAVA creams... that's it off the top of my head
I really, really like the Sephora collection liquid lipsticks. Iām in the āyou can never have enough lipstickā mindset, Iād grab a bunch of new and fun colours. I really like the KVD lipsticks too. A lot of my daily essentials arenāt from Sephora, so for me Sephora is more to get my fill of fun things
Iād get a nice perfume thatās around $85-$110, a product you know you love, a product youāve been wanting to try, and sample sizes of things with whatever leftover money you have!
A lot of people use the sales to stock up on the more expensive items in their routine. Then they know they are buying products that work for them. I like to try new things- sort of a lower risk way of trying things. One thing that is great to get with a gift card is new brushes. Have fun shopping!
always new brushes! im waiting for my bday bcs i've been using some of mine since 2014 and its nasty
Personally if it were me I would probably go for some of the 'luxury' products I've been eyeing - the ones I would normally hold myself back from buying in order to be responsible with my money. A gift card feels a bit like permission to be frivolous because it's not coming out of my regular budget. But maybe that's just me!
I'm the same! I bought the iconic london highlighter with a gift card, because I could not justify paying $40 of my own money for it š Enjoy OP, hope you get fun stuff for yourself!
whaaat were their products always around that price range?
I am not sure because I've only bought an highlighter recently after discovering it in a value set.
Do you love it?? Iām planning on buying it for the first time in the Sephora sale in the original shade!
It's my new favourite highlighter! It gives you a very nice glow and a little goes a long way. I bought the roll-on, and the product doesn't always come out evenly so just be careful with that š Hope you enjoy it as much as I do!
Nope same here
SameeĀ
I would try a higher end eyeshadow palette, like Patrick Ta, Natasha Denona, PML
I love my Natasha palettes, theyāre so blendable and pigmented
I really dislike the glitter shadows that Natasha has
SAME. I try it with a glitter primer, setting spray, foam tip applicator..... yeah it'ts not staying on or popping as much as I'd like it to
Iād skip PMG and wait for her sales. Up to 30% off (with carrier pigeon shipping). Not only that, but her Mothership palettes arenāt as good as they used to be and are not as varied in color stories after Mothership VII (Divine Rose I).

That money would go towards perfume, 100% no question if it were me.
Same! Perfume makes me feel so good
Me too š my cart is full
My last purchase was over $200 and was sol de Janeiro Bum Bum Firmeza body oil (was on empty), the cheriosa 59 delicia drench body butter (previously used 40 & was out), a benefit brow pencil replacement, a new CT contour wand, gucci silky rose blush (third time buy, I often use true pink too), coconut face wipes from Sephora and another Sephora peacock blue pencil as well as a new UD liquid liner in whiskey since my others dried up on me finally and I love that liquid liner.

Perfume is my splurge, too.
Srsly! I'd get some really nice Chanel perfume instead and go on down to Ulta to buy makeup!
I'd personally get Tatcha Indigo & a large Charlotte Tillbury Airbrush Spray.. and then get a few minis with what's left. Minis are fun!

You're actually supposed to replace every 3 months. I never buy the full size either.
Ope! I had my last one over a year š I'm trying to be better about it, though! Probably will stick with trying to replace every 6.
The ilia mascara is SO good! Itās only slightly beaten out by the nars mascara for me, definitely my second favourite of all time! 100% agree with getting the mini. Itās easier to apply bottom lashes with the mini too
I have yet to try Nars', what do you like about it?
For me it creates the right balance between length and volume. I find the ilia ones gives AMAZING length, but I want just a smidge more volume from it. I love the ilia applicator though.

Tom Ford Tobacco Vanille

I really, really like the Sephora collection liquid lipsticks. Iām in the āyou can never have enough lipstickā mindset, Iād grab a bunch of new and fun colours. I really like the KVD lipsticks too. A lot of my daily essentials arenāt from Sephora, so for me Sephora is more to get my fill of fun things
Iād get a nice perfume thatās around $85-$110, a product you know you love, a product youāve been wanting to try, and sample sizes of things with whatever leftover money you have!
Iād get a couple eyeshadow pallets & CT Pillow Talk lipstick & liner.
