What do I want from Sephora with this GC?

[cntrymoon2]

$200 GC...I see Sephora pop up on here in lots of threads with creams, hair products, anti aging, etc. What are the must-haves from there?

Do you want to try new makeup? Or would you rather get skincare? I love:

Tarte cheek stain
Tarte tinted moisturizer
Urban Decay Naked palette eye shadows

I am trying L'occitane hand cream based on recommendations here on the BBB.

except I was going to suggest the Tarte amazonian clay blushes. Love the tinted moisturizer and wear it daily (they have now relabeled it a BB cream, same product. Not sure how it is listed on Sephora right now).

I had a sample of Ole Henriksen's Truth line that I loved last year, but I don't like the chemical sunscreens in it. If you don't mind those, lots of people here like that line I think.

Dr. Gross?

Do you need a higher end blow dryer or flat iron? Clarisonic? It would be easy to blow through 200 with a styling or skincare tool of some type.

Make Up Forever face+Body foundation is really really nice and comes in a large range of colors. It has a gel-based consistency, is water resistant, and very buildable. Super light. I love it.

The Balm's Hot Mama blush is also excellent.

Many NARS products are very well liked, although I have not tried them myself.

I just purchased a Clarisonic Mia with my BI discount. That's another option...the lowest model Clarisonic is $119 and they go up to $200+.

I bought some stuff at the VIB 20% off sale recently.

One of my favorite new discoveries is this Fresh Sugar Tinted Lip Balm/Treatment. I absolutely despise wearing lipsticks, as I don't like the feeling on my lips or the taste, but I really like wearing the Rose color lip balm because it enhances my natural lip color, so I look more polished. It is something that you can definitely wear every day. It has a strong lemon smell to it, but I don't mind it too much because it moisturizes so well.

The Advanced Therapy Lip Treatment in the Holiday set below also works really well--it has no color, so it is great for night time.

I second Tarte's Tinted Moisturizer (have been using the TM for a few years) and Amazaon Clay Blushes. I currently have the blushes in Exposed (natural) and Natural Beauty (strawberry red), and I love them both. I'll probably try the Blissful color (warm peach) when the weather gets warmer.
