Shortly after Sephora’s spring VIB sale, I declared myself on a makeup no-buy–limiting myself to products I genuinely run out of and don’t have any backups of any kind–until August. I’ve not been perfect, and I’m spent approximately $6 on Wet n’ Wild lip products, but aside from that, I’ve been good. I did, however, allow myself to peruse and purchase a few things for my birthday on the 10th of this month.
“Jacqie, we don’t care about your spending problem or your no-buy cheating.” Oh, but you should. While I’m shopping around for the next couple of weeks, I’d keep your eyes looking, too, for products you may want to try, because I’ve decided to be generous and host a giveaway awarding a $50 gift card to your choice of Sephora or Ulta to one lucky reader!
The giveaway will last for 10 days (6/1-6/10). All you have to do is subscribe to our email list, and you’re entered. There are options for bonus entries below, as well.
On 6/11, I’ll contact the winner, and they will have until 6/13 at 5 pm EST to respond. The winner will then have the choice of receiving an e-gift card or a physical gift card, so I will need the best e-mail address and/or street address. So please, if you’re under 18, ask your parents permission to give your address to me.

Funny you should mention that, I have a few ideas in mind.
I subscribe to The Lipstick Narratives email list.

I would buy some Philosophy products from Sephora
I’d like to see reviews on facial cleansers — I need some! And I also enjoy recipe posts
I would buy a perfume or skincare set, Sephora makes some great value sets!
Oh great choice! I lovery their sets, especially when I want to try something.
I am a subscriber through email and bloglovin. Thanks so much for the chance and hope you have a wonderful birthday! 🙂
What would I purchase with the gift card? Either a new Hoola Matte Bronzer by Benefit Cosmetics or the ThirstyMud Hydrating Treatment from GlamGlow! 🙂
You have a great mix of posts but for summer specifically I’d love to hear more about your favorite moisturizers and foundations that would hold out well in humid weather. Thanks so much!
i would use it to buy the glam glow volcasmic moisturizer!
I want to try the new Dior mascara and some Ouai hair products.
I’m really tempted by Ouai hair products as well. I used the texture spray, and it was okay.
BECCA X Chrissy Teigen glow face palette!
Subscribed! I would probably splurge on some Lancome foundation. I’ve tried it once and I just haven’t brought myself to buy it since I’m a Bare Minerals addict. May also consider buying more Bare Minerals liquid matte lip products… they’re to die for.
Would love to see you write about storage/organization of beauty products, closets, etc!
I love the matte lip creams from Bare Minerals. They are sooooo good.
As boring as it sounds if I won I’d probably stock up on dry shampoo and regular shampoo and conditioner.
Also I’d really love to see more anti-hauls! To many places focus on what you should buy and less on what you should just go ahead and skip.
I LOVED doing the anti-haul. I definitely want to continue doing those periodically.
I’m in need of new sponges so I’d definitely get the two pack of real technique blenders, Nyx primer I’ve been dying to try. I’d probably also get a lash tool and face wash ?
And if I’ve to see more recipes! I’m currently trying to get back in to eating healthier things and I love seeing a variety of recipes, easy or not ?
I am a subscriber.
Subscribed!❤️
I’d spend it at ulta on African black soap & sweet like candy Ariana grandes perfume.
I would like to see which foundations are your favorite and which ones are your least fav.
I’d most likely use it towards some more make up and cc cream.
I’d really like to see more anti hauls and sales.
I loved the anti-haul; I definitely want to continue doing posts like that periodically.
I would probably put the gift card towards a device like Nuface. Or build a custom eyeshadow palette! So many choices lol.
Ooooh, a custom palette would be nice!
Forgot to say, I really love anti haul posts these days! Helps me narrow down my wish lists haha. Also, now that it’s summer, my skin is oily again so any products and tips for that is very welcome!
