So I have about 100-125 dollars from Christmas that I can spend on makeup right now. I barely ever buy high end stuff, so there is a lot that I don't have. Any recommendations on what to get? With so many options I'm having a hard time deciding. I'll be going to a mall with a MAC and Sephora this weekend. So let me know!

(also, one thing I can imagine some of you might recommend is the Naked Palette which I do actually have. haha)

THANKS!

I saw that the Lashstash and Glitz and Glam set are on sale at Sephora, are they worth getting. Also thought about getting an MSF Natural. Thoughts?

some things from sephora i suggest are Make Up For Ever shadows, foundation, rouge artist intense lipsticks, Illamasqua, NARS blushes are good. i have heard good things about the Tart amazonian clay blushes. the Urban Decay 24/7 eyeliners are good. From MAC i really like the lipsticks, blushes and shadows. Also if u don't mind ordering online try SugarPill i recommend everything from there.

I always run to MAC when I have spare money! Maybe look at their latest collection? 

Urban Decay's Book of Shadows 4 (original price $64) can be picked up for $29 (plus $6) shipping on their website IF you use the promo code MYGLAM11.

Honestly, stay away from MAC collections... the quality is always mega watered down compared to the permanent stuff (for the most part). If you're going to MAC, I recommend getting a nice lipstick or a fluidline. MSF natural is really great too. I would also suggest perhaps getting a good brush, like a 217 or a 188. If you collect eyeshadows (like me, haha) maybe you want to get a new palette with some new eyeshadows!

At Sephora, I'd say get one of those kits that offer a multitude of things that are sample sized so you can try a bunch of different things. I also recommend checking out NARS blushes, MUFE aqua creams and aqua liners, and Urban Decay palettes.

Happy shopping! :)

I just bought a MAC eye shadow, MUFE #18, and NARS blush in Desire!!! I'd never buy it with my hard earned money. I think this is the kick I needed lmao

Thanks guys! My moms probably gonna pick up lashstash for me on her way home today if they still have it. Then I think I'm going to MAC on Saturday because the mall were going to seriously has the sweetest MAC employees I've ever met. I'm thinking about getting an MSF natural, maybe a lipglass, a paint pot, and maybe another blush. I would get eyeshadows, but I have a palette and the counters don't sell the pots (which sucks by the way)

Also I would love to try a NARS blush but there's something about shelling out 27 dollars for a blush that I just can't bring myself to do.

Sephora: Tarte AC blushes - exposed and tipsy are such awesome unique colors that are wearable on the daily... MUFE anything...

MAC: load up on brushes if your collection is not yet complete... The new Naturals collection has a new duo-fiber brush being released in a week or so.

You definitely need to get MAC Club eye shadow.. omg it's my fav from MAC. It's just sooo awesome and it's a duo chrome, brown/dark green. I <3 it for a smokey eye. Expensive pink is another great shadow if you don't have it. Also, MAC has some great concealers that do not compare to anything from a drugstore!

I wanted to pick up a Nars blush too but I'm also hesitant about spending $27 on a blush I ended up getting Hot Mama by the Balm for $19. It's really similar to Nars Deep Throat and I'm really happy I picked it up the color is really nice.

Tarte! I'm dying to try their products, haven't even swatched them. Inglot! They have been compared to MAC quality and have surpassed them! Urban Decay! You could wait a little longer and try and get the Naked 2 palette :)
