So my MIL gave me a $100 Sephora gift card for Christmas, and I'm really not much of a make-up aficionado. I do use Laura Mercier tinted moisturizer and concealer, but that's all I've ever bought from there. If you had $100 to spend at Sephora, what would you buy?
ETA: Just found this similar thread: http://boards.hellobee.com/topic/200-at-sephora
Excuse my failure to search first! <blush>

I would go and have a consultation and have the experts suggest some good make up looks for me. I've wanted to do that but I feel like they would guilt me into buying expensive stuff. But who cares if they do if it's free money!

i would go have your makeup done and see if they use anything new that you like. when i've had my makeup done there before they had me buy a $50 gift card (i think because you don't pay for the makeup application and you aren't allowed to tip they want to make sure you're going to spend some $$$), but since you already have a gift card you want to spend you probably wouldn't need to buy another gift card (or just pay for the gift card with your gift card, haha). that's when i started using bare minerals which i love!

Ooh nice!
I'd probably get shampoo/conditioner and moisturizer with SPF or night cream.

well I really need eye cream right now so I probably get eye cream, but if I was really planning on splurging I would get a Clarisonic Mia

I would get the Urban Decay Naked 2 eyeshadow palette. I love mine! Nars blush in orgasm is also super nice. Just between those two things you will spend most of your money, lol.

Have you considered selling your card for money? Link: http://money.usnews.com/money/blogs/my-money/2012/01/06/5-places-to-sell-unwanted-gift-cards
I love Sephora and Laura Mercier primer. I'd buy the primer and new brushes.

I would get some of that fantastic spray tan stuff @PrincessBaby talked about it. She looked gorgeous!
I would get some perfume. Maybe some lotion.

I agree on getting a little "makeover"... that's how I found the foundation I like!
On my wishlist is the Laura Mercier moisturizer like you use
St. Tropez tanning spray
Stila eye liner
More Smashbox hydrating halo foundation powder (I just ran out)
Smashbox eyelid primer
Origins products
Ooh a fragrance maybe? I love Stella McCartney, Eilzabeth Arden, Chanel and Miss Dior
If you're not into makeup - maybe get some nice shampoo/condition, some cleansers or hair stuff? What about a high quality hair dryer or straightener/curler??

Im not a big makeup person either so I'd buy a good moisturizer. What do you currently use at night? I like Lancôme and Clarins ones.

I would buy some bare minerals products and some new brushes. I'd probably look for a new perfume while I was at it.
