Hey, ladies!
I'll finally be going to a Sephora soon and I wanted to try some new things 😁
What are some must-have items? Like things that are one of a kind (no known drugstore dupes) and/or worth the hype (and price tag!)? It could be foundation, eyeliner, eyeshadow, anything you think everyone should have. Also, I'd appreciate advice on what to avoid (products not worth the hype).
I'm probably going to have a spending limit around $150-$200.
My skin type is oily/combination and is kind of sensitive. I don't really do heavy makeup looks, I mainly use neutral colors. I already have the Naked 1, Naked basics, and the ABH dipbrow and powder duo.
Please let me know your thoughts! 😘

I've seriously heard so many people rave about the diorskim airflash spray foundation , I've seen YouTube videos on it and the finish looks great! Bobbi Brown gel liner. I personally like There Real mascara. Smashbox photo finish primer. Uds primer potion. Heard a lot of things about Too Faced new melted lipstick. I would definitely invest in a nars blush. Any lorac pallete. Kay Von D lock it tattoo foundation. A lot of raves about Smash boxs full exposure pallet.

Thanks, girl! 😘
I've always wanted to get a Nars blush, but the price is sooo hard to justify! Is it really that good? 😳

Oh yes, I am totally following this thread! Personally, I love the Clinique Almost Powder (I use it with a big fan brush for light coverage), benefit they're real mascara (try the small size first to see if you like it, not everyone does), and right now I'm in love with the Vita Liberata pHenomenal self tanning mousse (use with mitt!), not orange,very natural. What else? Sephora's eyelash curler is the only good dupe for the shu uemura one (the shape is different from regular ones). I can't think of my other must haves for now, I might think of something else later :)

Definitely go for a NARS blush. I couldn't justify the price either at first, but after using it (in Orgasm), I'm totally in love. Also go for Kat Von D eyeshadows, they're so gorgeous and have such amazing staying power. Smashbox primers are also great, both for the face and eyelids. YSL Babydoll and Too Faced Better Than Sex are the best mascaras I've ever used. Also go for some Deborah Lippmann nail polishes :)

I personally love NARS sheer glow foundation, but the matte one is probably better for oily skin. If you get the UD primer potion, I recommend just getting the travel size because a little goes a long way and it's only $14. Also love their setting sprays. Too Faced Chocolate Soleil bronzer. Anastasia Brow Wiz is a must have for easy natural looking brows. Hourglass mineral veil primer is nice for oily skin. I have a deluxe sample of NARS Orgasm and it's beautiful, but I don't think I'd pay full price for it. I've barely made a dent in mine and I find myself reaching for Milani's Luminoso more often. If I were going to splurge on a blush, I'd probably go for Hourglass Ambient Lighting Blushes. Philosophy's Purity Made Simple Cleanser is also amazing. I'm loving my Boscia konjac sponge for sensitive skin, but I would recommend getting a cheaper one somewhere else!

Oh my goodness, you HAVE to try the NARS sheer glow foundation. I have combination skin, but it applies beautifully! Also, I would get the beauty blender or the real techniques miracle complexion sponge to apply it. It doesn't work very well with denser brushes unfortunately. I have a video on my april favorites, so if you want some other really good products to try, please watch it and tell me what you think :]. This is my channel: youtube.com/letsmakeupdressup

Thanks for the advice, girls! 😊 I'm writing a list of products to check out and these all sound awesome. I hope I don't go over my limit! Lol!

I might also stop by Lush, is there anything you would recommend from there as well?? I already have the Ocean Salt scrub, lemony flutter, and the mint julep lip scrub!
