I would use it on Clinique skin care & make-up because I entered a premature full on menopause almost 2 years ago at the age of 39 & it has wrecked havoc on my skin. Everyone who knows about the menopause at this age says they envy me for no longer having to deal with “Aunt Flo” but they have no clue ho much your body & especialy your skin changes. There’s almost more female maintenance to deal with than before. Now all of my make-up & skin care breaks me out or causes an allergic reaction & that’s even when using a well known brush cleanser & only synthetic brushes. It sucks.

I’d build a few Urban Decay palettes on Mac refill compacts 🙂 I built one for shades I normally use for eyeliners (brown, black, purple and gray) and it’s pretty pricey. I considered using Mac eyeshadows but in my opinion they aren’t as great as UD’s. *fingers crossed*

Amanda Avatar

I’ve been really good in the last year or so at only getting things I MUST HAVE but recently realized because of this I am missing some “basics” (things that are basics to beauty addicts that is LOL). I just tried a sample of the new Kat Von D foundation and was shocked at how much I liked it. It’s pricey though! So I would get that. Also, one or both of the UD Naked palettes (leaning toward N2), and some Illamasqua goodies (highlighter, liquid eyeliner)!! It’d be awesome!

Victoria Avatar

I have been wanting to try out some new skincare due to my problamatic skin nd winning the giftcard would be a great opportunity to do so. I would Probably purchase the Korres Quercetin anti wringle night cream, Shisheido’s fluid sunscreen, origins spot treatment and perhaps the strivectD Eyecream 🙂

Kiah Avatar
Kiah

The question is what WOULDN’T I spend it on? Probably use it to buy Christmas presents, since I don’t have a lot of money at the moment to spend on gifts. Then maybe some skin care products, since mine has a LOT of problems going on all of a sudden!

Tsubomi Avatar

I would slowly use it on things that catch my eye, possibly on higher priced items I normally have a hard time justifying the cost (such as Guerlain powders).

I’d definitely use this for my mom. A high-end palette & a bunch of new, everyday basics. Or, maybe even just the Chanel No 5. that she used to wear.

She’s been taking care of my sick dad for the past 3 years & never buys herself anything anymore. That was my holiday plan for her anyway…to put a little glamour & sparkle in her life = a big Sephora box under the tree! Woo hoo!

Good luck to everyone! Awesome giveaway!!

I’ve been wanting to get Flowerbomb, the Cinderella eye pallette that was so highly recommended and some killer skin care. My beauty bank could sure use the points! 🙂

Christmas shopping for my mom/sister, plus a little restocking on my Shiseido urban envir. spf 42, black jack lip balm, and UD e/s in secret service if there is anything leftover of course 😉 Thanks!

Holy smokes, what a generous offer! I am lemming some hello kitty safari eye shadow palettes (too cute for words!) and I’d also like to restock my Flowerbomb perfume. I’d also like to try some of the new Cinderella products! They look so pretty 🙂

I would spend the gift card on some new skincare items. My skin has been changing and it’s time for a new regimen. It would be nice to get everything all at once.

I’d use the gift card for some skincare that I’ve been wanting to try out, like moisturizers, toners, and other creams. 🙂 I would also get a Caudulie Beauty Elixer!

I appreciate the fact that you always give goodies away to your loyal fans! I would love to have a $250 Sephora gift card to do some Christmas shopping for my mom and sisters in law! They all deserve some pampering!

OCC Lip Tars, Illamasque nail polishes, an Urban Decay palette, and I’ve been meaning to pick up from products from Make Up Forever… I’m sure I could very easily blow it in one go.

Korres Quercetin & Oak Antiaging Antiwrinkle & Firming Face Serum: makes my face smooth, even out the skin tone (tend to get red…roscea?), little bumps and what-nots. Love it as a night-time moisturizer but this is expensive to splurge on. xD

Picking up my moisturizer and honestly just having a little fun with the rest. I’ve finally found myself wearing nail polish consistently and dabbling with more of that would be a joy. Sephora by OPI has some beautiful and fun looking colors. Perhaps a good Nars red lip (I’ve been looking at getting Terre de Feu)!

First thing I’d go for would be the MUFE Flash Color Case! I’m fortunate to have a job that allows me to show up with editorial-esque makeup looks, but many times I find I simply don’t have the color I want, or I do but it’s low quality (I’m looking at you, no-name megapalette from Hong Kong….). I would LOVE to have this in my toolkit.

i would get the works! mufe foundation, nars e/s primer, nars blush in torrid dior black out mascara, an occ lip tar, laura mercier lipstick and a lip conditioner, UD deslick and UD e/s in loaded! I had to spend my make up money on new eyeglasses! gotta be able to see…. lol

I would definitely use the $250 Sephora Gift Card to purchase high-end products such as the T3 Voluminous Hot Rollers Set, Dior makeup, Guerlain bronzers & Meteorites, and Caudalie skincare.

Wow what a great giveaway. I’d love to win it. I’m in the market for a new foundation and some new skincare-specifically for the eye area. Eye serums/creams are so expensive-I’m thinking Lancome, Peter Roth. For foundation-I’d like to try Laura Mercier, Bobbi Brown, MUFE, and Nars. If there’s any money left I’d like to try the Nars Lip Gloss pencils or the new Hourglass lip creams. Heck I’d like to try just about everything-I’m so in need of a makeover. Thanks for the opportunity.

UD Ocho Loco pencils to start! Been coveting those since I got my first Perversion pencil…then I got distracted by Tarina Tarantino pencils. But I must get back to the 24/7s! 🙂

This time of year, I’d use the gift card to get a few of the gift sets as a way to try out a variety of products! Plus I’d probably get an Illamasqua polish or two since I love them so much.

Definitely some of the OCC lip tars, there have been a couple MUFE items i’ve been eyeing for awhile now too and also maybe some of the new UD eyeshadows, I haven’t tried any of them yet.

I know I’d purchase some Illamasqua – my favorite makeup brand I can’t afford! – but I’d love to dabble in some Nars, or maybe MUFE. Oh, and I NEED the Black Dahlia lip tar from OCC! Rawr!

I’d love to get a couple of the gift sets Sephora offers this time of year, especially the mascara one. I’d also love to try a high-end foundation, which I’ve never done before!

Note: I use a different email for eBates than this one…
I’m pretty stocked up on most of my Sephora “needs” and also wants. I actually think I’d save it for a bit to refill those items I use a lot like ExoliKate, Murad face shizz, and my Josie Maran body whip cream. I always use those last two for promos from Sephoras where there is a minimum purchase since I always have a need for them both!

I would use my Gift Card to buy some limited edition holiday sets I’ve had my eye on and a LORAC Pro Palette that I’ve been wanting since it came out! and Of course be able to redeem my 100pts free gift =D

I think I’d finally buy some OCC and Becca products, as well as replacement brush heads for my Clairsonic. I would also pick up a rollerball of the new Issey Miyake floral fragrance.

Hmm… I’d use it on things that have been on my wish list for a while (like various MUFE eyeshadows, the Urban Decay Dangerous Palette or Smoked Palette, Kate Somerville CytoCell Eye Cream), some of my “essentials” (DiorShow Waterproof Mascara, Anastasia Lash Genius, MUFE Sens’Eyes), and perhaps some high-end brands I have yet to try.

So many things I want! I’d buy a couple YSL lipsticks #9 and #23. Nars blushes, MUFE foundation, Tarte lip products, UD liners, and lorac 3d lustre.

If I won the gift card I would buy the Vice Palette by Urban Decay and I would stock up on all of my favorite Tarte products including the Smooth Operator Tinted moisturizer and the Amazonian Clay blush in Tipsy. I would give the remainder to my mom who just started getting into the makeup at Sephora! She could use some more products! 🙂

Danie Avatar
Danie

I’m pretty sure I need the Too Faced Better Than False Lashes set, but I don’t want to spring for it, myself. I’d get a couple of lovely MUFE liners in ridiculous colors I definitely wouldn’t wear every day. And then I’d get a bunch of little L’Occitane shea butters or hand lotions to bring to the folks in the Rockaways, where conditions are still harsh beyond belief.

EVERYTHING. I’ve been so lemming different items and tried to be very good and not purchase too much. I’ve been curious to try the Illamasqua brushes, more Urban Decay Shadows, and Nars blushes.

I am in desperate need of some new skin care! Only a couple of the things I have tried so far havn’t caused my skin to freak!!!! So that’s what I’d spend the money on!! Ohh and some Becca stuff, I reallly wanna try some:)

there’s a lot of holiday stuff from everyone that seems interesting. although i’ve been eyeing the occ lip tars lately. but yes, will need to make out my list just in case i win!!! 🙂

Audrey Avatar

I’d use it on some of the things I love but that I haven’t been able to get, like some nars blush, definitely the nars kit with the silver factory illuminator, and just basically some new bold lipstick/glosses, in addition to some awesome eyeshadow colors I don’t own. (:

Shannon Avatar

Some holiday sets, Tarte, Too faced, Sephora favorites, Anti-aging skincare (seems to be a small obsession of late) and Fresh Sugar lip balms, scrubs and lotions. I’m sure I’d still walk out with a hefty credit card bill, lol.

Darcy Avatar

I would love to try the Guerlain Météorites Powder because I’ve heard such great things about it, but the price tag has always intimidated me. I would also use it for some heavy duty moisturizers perfect for a cold NY winter.

I would use it to buy all the awesome sets/kits that are out for the holidays! I love so many of them – but hubby would kill me if I bought everything I wanted. 🙂

Some palettes for myself but a bunch of things for my mom cause she doesn’t really buy herself stuff.
I don’t really need it as much as I’d like to get her stuff haha

Jacee Avatar

I think I’d first get the Naked2 palette (I already have the Naked palette, but my skin is very neutral, and I’ve been really into cool colors lately) and the Tarte Amazonian Clay 4-piece blush set that recently came out! I’d also look at some Soap & Glory products.

Natalie Avatar

Sephora has some killer holiday exclusive gift sets that I’ve been dying to get my hands on. I’ve also been wanting to try AmorePacific skincare (especially their top-rated Enzyme Peel) and the Cleansing Balm from Omorovicza has been on my shopping list for far too long! Can’t go wrong with anything from Nars, YSL or Bobbi Brown, either… I’m like a kid in a candy store at Sephora so trust me, it’d be put to good use! Haha.

I would use this giftcard to make my very dreams come true! I would purchase finishing powder, primer and hand cream. I would buy a few quality nail polishes for myself, and a few for my little sister as well. I would buy lip products because I’ve always liked my smile out of all the features on my face. hehe. Just thinking about it is making me excited.

Taylor Avatar

I have a huge Shopping List on Sephora…I would use the gift card to buy things off of it! Fragrances, nail polishes and a couple of Clarisonic replacement brush heads would be mine 🙂

Cathy Avatar

I would get
– a new foundation, since I am in the market for one.
– some blushes, since mine seem to have disappeared.
– and some gifts for my sisters.

I would definitely use the money for a Clarisonic Mia, for starters. I think for the rest of it, I would just give myself a chance to go wild and clear some things off my long wish list.

Anne Avatar
Anne

I’d spend it on products I would not normally buy–splurges, stuff I can’t justify spending my own money on. For instance, I have a couple of good foundations that are very reasonably priced, but I’d love to try MUFE’s HD Foundation. And I’d get some bath and body products, like those from Philosophy’s Inner Grace line.

I would definitely sit with someone and discuss skincare with a specialist at Sephora. At 42, my skin is going haywire and nothing seems to work anymore…so I need to build from ground up again 🙂 This would totally help me!

I’ve never been able to purchase anything from Sephora, so I’m not sure. I need some new tinted moisturizer though. As well as a face scrub, blush and some fall lipsticks.

Fabienne Avatar

I love Kat Von D products. I have a few of her palettes and one of her perfumes. I would like to expand my collection with some of her lipsticks. For example, her foiled red lipstick. Of course there are some other sets from different companies I have had my eyes on. I also need new brushes, so I would use it for that too. Being on a tight budget due to being in school and paying for rent, etc., makeup is not a first priority on my budgeting list. I think food and other things are higher up on the list lol.

I would use the gift card to get some more OCC liptars because I am currently obsessed with them (no pun intended), I would probably use it to get some palettes with brighter colors, I’ve also had my eye on the Tarte blushes and Too Faced primed and poreless for a while so I would add those to the haul.
