If I win a sephora giftcard, I would use it to buy the Kat Von D MetalMatte palette for my best friend! Thank you for doing this giveaway. 🙂

I only purchase makeup one time a year during holiday because it’s the only time I can try a brunch of new products in a good deal I never spend money on full size items not that I don’t want to but I can’t afford all of it, so in entire year I save money for makeup just for this moment

Virginia Avatar

I would spend the gift card on Bite Beauty Amuse Bouche in GTA for my bold-lipstick loving friend, and the rest on a lip gloss set for my friend whose birthday is coming up!

Joanna Avatar

I would like to spend it on the 20% off events that’s coming up. I’ve been having issues with dry hands and would like to invest in a good hand cream.

Dani Avatar

Can’t believe it’s taken me so long to find ebates, but after only a couple of months I’ve earned almost $100! Hoping to win a gift card so I can use it on a blush palette 🙂

Tammy Soukthavone Avatar

This is awesome, I love Sephora and Ebates! With the giftcard I would buy the It Cosmetics Bye Bye Makeup Melter and NARS Orgasm Blush because I’ve been wanting to try those!

Rachel Avatar

Well, I currently have $200+ worth of items sitting in my online Sephora cart, so I’d put my gift card toward that monster purchase! UD Vice lipstick, my go-to MUFE powder foundation, Prada Candy perfume, the new First Aid Beauty holiday value kit, etc…

Mara Avatar

I really love Ebates– maybe the lowest maintenance way ever to get cash back if you have the Chrome plug-in. I would love to grab a little something for myself in my VIB haul with a gift card instead of just presents 🙂

Kim Avatar

What a wonderful giveaway! I would love to spoil my mother-in-law with some skincare items I know she loves but would never buy for herself. She is the most caring and selfless person I have ever met and it would be lovely to surprise her. 🙂
Thank you so much for this opportunity.

Nicole Avatar

Very nice of you! I have been a member of Ebates for a while now and I love it! It’s totally free and easy! The app is awesome too! I really don’t understand it. Free money! 🙂

Kat Avatar

Oooh, I think I would buy some new perfume! Probably a few roller balls or travel sprays, since I can’t seem to commit to one fragrance. I’ve been eyeing the Elizabeth and James Bourbon perfume. I spritzed myself in Sephora a few weeks ago and I can’t stop thinking about it.

Cherise Avatar

I love ebates because i get cash back for my Sephora purchases. If I won the $50 gift card I would buy urban decay naked 3 eyeshadow palette (:

EIDA HERNANDEZ Avatar

I would buy all the makeup that i haven´t bought since i got engaged 🙁 Im saving money for the wedding and the new house… Can´t afford to get new makeup releases anymore 🙁

Ashley Avatar

Honestly it’s just been a rough couple of months for me and money has been has tight. If I were to win I would look to the wise, ancient proverb that says “Treat Yo’self”

Amy S Avatar

(I’ve been an ebates member for years and have gotten a LOT of money back!) I think I would use the gift card on holiday presents, though I might have to get myself a new UD eyeliner…Goldmine, for the season…

Cherry_blossom Avatar

Thanks for the giveaway! I would use the card to build a nice travel-sizes spa package as a christmas gift for my recently retired Mom. Its about time she pampered herself.

Sabrina Avatar

Omg this is amazing! I think I would use the money to get some secret santa gifts, or possibly grab myself another couple of Surratt eyeshadows!

Sarah Avatar

Squeeeeeee this would be amazing, especially with the VIB sale right around the corner! I’d probably buy some perfume or maybe some Christmas gifts 🙂

I’m going to put it towards a cologne for my boyfriend. Usually I’d think of a palette or brush I want, but I feel like he’s had his eye on Tom Ford’s Tuscan Leather for a while, and I’d love to take a chunk out of the price for him. The holidays are coming up, after all!

April McWhorter Avatar

I’d spend it on fragrance. I’ve finally worked through a collection and haven’t really replenished. Plus I have a Marc Jacobs eyeliner addiction to handle.

Maria Avatar

I would spend this Gift Card on a full sized (large) perfume! I love perfume but I always get the smaller bottles. With the GC I would feel better about splurging. Thanks for the opportunity!

Claire Avatar

Thanks for the giveaway opportunity! I’d use a gift card to pick up a Clinique Cheek Pop–which I’ve been wanting thanks to your reviews :)–and perhaps to finally give liquid lipstick a try with KVD Double Dare.

Dylan Avatar

I would spend it on the products I’m getting during the VIB sale of course. It would definitely take a good amount of money off LOL. Planning on getting 4 of the Touch In Sol Metallist Duos I don’t have yet, and the Urban Decay All Nighter Duo that comes with two setting sprays for $39 (of course the sale will take off of that lol). I might add other things if I win to be honest haha

Leslie Avatar

If I won, I’d for sure put this money towards some skincare. My skin has been going through it these past few months and no matter what I try, it is just not working. 🙁 Can someone give me some suggestions for combo/oily skin?

A. Avatar

I’m moving to another country where they don’t have sephora! I’d stock up on replacing my must-haves, like the solid BeautyBlender soap & the instant brush cleanser spray!

PGM Avatar

I’d like to try some higher end make up but couldn’t get myself to purchase something too pricey. Winning this card would give me a chance. Thanks for hosting this! 🙂

Deborah S. Avatar

I use Ebates all of the time. It is so easy. I would put the $50 towards a couple of Tatcha products that I have been wanting to try. Thank you for the opportunity to win.

Satinder Ghag Avatar

I would love to spend this on skincare, and get myself the FRESH mask set. I am really lacking in masks, and i need to up my skincare routine. XOXO

Lauren Gentry Avatar

I would use it to get some skincare sets for my mom and I to share for our movie nights! The holiday skincare sets are awesome this year!

Julie kKhoalii Avatar

There are way to many things I want at Sephora one of them is Natasha Denona palette, this would help alot to go towards it. A girl can’t have to many shadows!!!!!

Kayla Avatar

I’ve always wanted to try Make Up For Ever so I would either build my own palette with a few shades or try one of their premade palettes. I drool over the Artist Palette Volume 3 – Florals every time I’m in my local Sephora.

Carlea Avatar

I would use the $50 gift card towards a fine fragrance, probably a Chanel, that I rarely purchase due to the cost. Thanks to Temptalia and Ebates for the awesome giveaway!

Ami S. Avatar

I’d put it towards the Shiseido Bioperformance Super Revitalizing cream as a birthday gift for my mom. Her birthday falls on Christmas and she’s been using this cream and only this cream as her skincare routine for the past 20 years.

A 50 dollar giftcard to Sephora would certainly present me with a dilemma regarding what to buy! I’d be like a kid in a candy store. I’d most likely spend it on the new Urban Decay Ultimate Basics palette or the ABH Modern Renaissance or Master palette by Mario.
