Help me spent a £100 Sephora gift card

I have £100 to spend it Sephora and it’s burning a hole in my pocket so I’m going to spend it next week!

I am not mega into make up/skincare but always on the look out for new products. I have very very dry skin and currently use Elemis for cleansing balm, moisturiser etc.

My current list is pillow talk lipstick, the Rhodes skim milk and some kind of hydration spray but I have no idea which one. I don’t mind putting a little bit of money to it but no more than £20 really.

My nearest Sephora is a hour and half away (Manchester) so I’ll be making a special trip and that means I can’t just pick up bits as I need them.

Any hidden gems?

thanks

I solved your problem a week ago!! My hair has been so flat and greasy so I bought Aveda Rosemary and Mint shampoo, Aveda thickening serum and sephora's own brand Clay mask. I also bought a Paula's Choice gift set, one for face and one for body. I bought Charlotte Tilbury airbrush foundation on whim but am finding it needs to be applied a certain way so am getting used to it. I put 50 quid of my own money towards it but that was my haul.

Also after I did my hair treatments, my husband and kids were all oohing and ahhhing my swishy, squeaky clean, voluminous locks!

Are you looking for a hydrating spray that is also a setting spray, or just a hydrating one? Rhode do a hydrating one that my sister is obsessed with (it’s on my to buy list) it’s the glazing mist - it’s got very good reviews too.

I would definitely recommend the Summer Fridays jet lag mask for hydration too, it’s honestly incredible and gives such good results. It’s quite spendy though in the large size but the small size still gives a good few uses.

Merit Flush Balm are amazing. If you like Pillow Talk I’d suggest the shade Archival. I also really like their lipsticks. Merit is only sold in Sephora in the UK.

Oh thank you all so much!! Everything sounds amazing! I never thought about hair products but my hair really could do with a nice treatment!

and yes just a hydrating mist rather than a setting spray so I’ll have a look!

thanks again for taking the time to reply!

I’m just on the website now and they have quite a few discounts, does anyone know if these will be in store as well? If they are I’ll bring my trip forward and head to Manchester on Saturday like a mad woman 🤣

I went into a Sephora once to get something that was discounted online, it wasn’t discounted in store but they honoured the price when I explained.
