SEPHORA WILL BREAK THE BANK!!! Although I am not so pleased with spending another $150+, I am VERY pleased with my purchases....:] 
* ($24.00) Rene Furterer Naturia Shampooing Sec "Dry Shampoo" is amazing! I am so glad I got this one instead of Oscar Blandi's or Ojon's. Not only does it come out in a clear/cognac color, unlike the others such as Oscar Blandi's, which are powdery white and take a minute to soak in, but it doesn't smell HORRIBLE like Ojon's either! Woop woop! The smell is okay and it isn't a white powdery look; this one gets 5 stars for sure! If you can spend a little on yourself with your next paycheck, check this out! Four out of the five ladies at Sephora picked this as their favorite!
* Excuse the horrible picture, but it washed out the text with the flash. This is Caudalie's Grape Water ($13.00), which is used as a toner or to refresh/hydrate the skin. This can be used any time of the day, and even used to set your makeup! Gotta love those 2 n' 1's :] It's 100 % plant-based and sooths your skin. The ingredients are literally grape extract and water. There's no need to pat it dry and it instantly gives you that dewy look!
*NARS Bronzer in Laguna ($29.00) is beyond gorgeous. So far, my favorite bronzer to date! It has very little shimmer and isn't orangey like most. It gives you a fresh healthy glow and it blends lovely. Many bronzers tend to cake up or blotch, which I absolutely hate! This one hasn't done that for me and is perfect for medium toned girls. The only con is the price, but I definitely think it's worth it. % stars for this one two ladies.
*Not the best pic again (sorry!). This is Smashbox's Brow Tech in "Brunette" ($24.00). I've used this only once, and I am in love with it! It looks so natural but still gives you that great color and ability to define your eyebrows. One side is wax and the other is powder. The size of this makes it great for traveling too! Once again the price isn't too great, $24.00 is high, BUT honestly this will last you AWHILE. Not to mention the color pay off and quality matches the dollar signs. Just like the bronzer, the price tag was easy to ignore! :]
*Anastasia Tinted Brow Gel in "Espresso" ($19.00) is wonderful! The color matches me perfectly and it doesn't flake. I've only used this twice, but so far I love it. The only con's I can see with this one is the brush is a little big when it comes to doing the "ends" of your eyebrows (if your pretty good with application it's not hard at all though) and also they only have I think 4 color options to choose from, making this hard for some.
*($24.00) NARS lipg loss in "Turkish Delight" is a soft pink and has a little bit of a milky effect to it. It's not sticky like most glosses tend to be, and it doesn't take tons of applications to get good color. I have been looking for a soft pink like this for awhile now. Most tend to be overly milky looking and it just looks ewwy. Obviously the price is the biggest con. I wish they weren't so expensive or I'd buy tons more! Kim Kardashian has named this particular NARS lip gloss in "Turkish Delight" as one of her absolute favorites. She's so beautiful though, throw some green lip gloss on the girl and she'll still look amazing.
*Lastly, I picked up Sephora's Angle Brow Brush ($9.00) for the Smashbox brow powder/wax. Next to it, is Laura Geller's Liquid Candlelight face & body glow that was a freebie! I haven't used the liquid glow yet, but it's very pretty and anything free is okay with me! I did try a little bit on my hand and it might be a tad too shimmery for your face. I think it would be fine during summer for your cheekbones (applied lightly) and def. can be used for your brow bone as a highlighter. This would also work great for your chest area!
Let me know if you would like me to do a swatch or if you have any questions, feel free to ask!

wow! i actually have the anastasia brow gel in espresso too and i love that product! i have to have it on everyday! i love that stuff :)
i'm actually glad you posted the dry shampoo product. i too also have the oscar blandi dry shampoo spray and although i am very happy with it, it doesn't stay dry and clean longer than an hour or two and i wouldn't dare dream of using it after a day of washing but this dry shampoo you posted is sure intriguing. i hope you do a review on it soon :)
Omg, great haul, Sara!! That dry shampoo sounds great! I know, most of the ones I've tried look like white powder and smell icky. I am also liking that Caudalie water and the Nars Turkish Delight now that you're raving about them lol. I know, Nars stuff are gorgeous but the prices aren't! I haven't been to Sephora for a while, most of my trips ended up being at MAC and their endless collections, lol.
i love that nars! i want one too!!
Awesome haul!! I haven't been into sephora in 4ever, it's just too tempting. haha. I really wanna the try turkish delight I look at it everytime but never get it, I'll give in one day.
Angie I don't know how to contact ya doll so I'll just respond in my comments!
I'm loving this dry shampoo! It took like one good spray of it over my oily area (near the roots)a little rub, and wahhhla! CLean but still healthy looking, not dry.
The Grape Water is GREAT! I use it after I wash my face at night before my lotion and then I use it in the morning to set my makeup. It's very moisturizing and soothing. I used it one night & one day to set my makeup as I just said, and both my co-workers made a comment about how "smooth" my skin looked. GIve it a try, plus $13 isn't bad at all! It seems like it will last a good amount of time.
The Nars lipgloss in Turkish Delight is so pretty! You do want to make sure your lips are a little moisturized though. As long as you use chapstick or whatever daily, it's not a problem. I found when I didn't use chapstick for practically all day (got busy at work) then tried applying it, it was pretty bad. It's not AS moisturizing as some lip glosses can be, but its not horrible by any means. The price is BLAH, very BLAH! I wasn't too happy about that one. :]
I only have a few SAMPLE piggies from MAC, and that is IT! It's depressing haha.. the closest MAC counter is an hour away. I promised myself that sometime, either with my next paycheck or the one after that, I'm buying some stuff from them!
Keep in touch doll!

I use frederic fekkai hair products. We sell them at Bath & Body Works and I get a discount so why not?! Lol. I actually use his volumizing shampoo (NO conditioner) and then some Glossing Shine Mist. Glad to know SOMEONE is actually noticing the mist, because I couldn't earlier than night :)
That NARS bronzer looks heavenly!
