Sephora

Hi all

I have a friend going to States soon and I was thinking of getting her to bring back a few bits from Sephora... Not sure exactly what I want so just thought i'd get an idea of what their best products are.
So girls, what are your top items you would always buy in Sephora?

Their foundation and kabuki brushes are of good quality. I haven't used any others so can't comment.

I got their primer too, and it was lovely. Made my make up go on really well.

Oh wow I'm jealous! Sephora's my favourite shop! I love their eyeshadow brushes - . I usually get Nars Orgasm blush and Laguna bronzer when I'm in there, scarily cheaper than here. If you use Bare Minerals stock up on it because the foundation is about $24 instead of €23.

They're brilliant for doing sets from different brands so you can try things out, they usually have a few full sizes and a few sample sizes in the box. They're usually anywhere from $50 to $90 depending on the brand, but worth way more. I got a Smashbox one last year with a full eyeshadow trio, eye primer, mascara, a really good brush and a few sample things and it was only about $60 but the stuff in it was worth about $150. Just had a look on the website and they've a really good Lancome set for $25!

They have great prices on Nars, the blush is $24 compared to e25.50 on Strawberrynet (Orgasm is a fantastic shade).

I think their perfume prices are competitive too, but you should compare with duty free prices first.

The Orgasm lip gloss is fantastic too :eek: I'd say definitely get them both!

I love buying Clinique stuff cos it's so damn cheap! Last time I was there I got Nars Orgasm liquid shimmer, you can mix it in with your foundation for an all-over glow. I also got the Frederic Fekkei hair care range. I wish I was going to USA again!

I am so jealous! I'm like a child in a sweet shop when ever I go into a Sephora. I spent about $200 in there once and came out with loads and they were having a freebie give away. All the urban decay stuff is a little cheaper so I stocked up on some primer potion, big fatty mascara, and some eyeshadows.

I got a beautiful nars colour, Turkish delight for about $10. Still one of my favourite nudey colours!

I got a eyeshadow palette over there which unfortunately got stolen on me somewhere along the line! It had fifteen beautiful colours ranging from the whitest whites, colours and lovely dark shades.

I should have taken a picture of my haul. My face was sore from smiling coming out of there!! :rolleyes:

I love their own brand eyeshadows and eyeliners. First port of call on my last trip to the States. I always check when I'm in Europe to see if there's a handy branch too. Why are they not in Ireland?!

+1 for Clinique, it's so cheap in the states. Last year I got 400ml clarifying lotion for $21, I paid €24 here last week for 200ml. Foundation that was costing me $18 in the states is €28 here. Such a rip off.
