Revisiting my $1000 Dream Sephora Haul March 16, 2021
In 2020 I participated in the popular $1000 Dream Sephora Haul tag where I shared the products I’d place in a dream basket if I had $1,000 to spend on a shopping spree at Sephora. In today’s post, I though it would be fun to spend some time revisiting my $1000 Dream Sephora Haul to discuss wha products I’ve purchased, what I no longer want, and what I’m still longing to own.
Revisiting My $1000 Dream Sephora Haul Tag
Long-time beauty YouTuber, Emily Noel created the $1000 Dream Sephora Haul tag in June. Click here to watch her original video. However, I came a cross the video when my Samantha March shared her take on this popular tag. As a makeup lover, I knew I needed to participate in this fun tag with two of my best blogging friends, Simone and Mimi.
Months after revisiting my $1000 Dream Sephora Haul Tag post, what have I purchased, passed on, and long to own? Keep reading to find out.

Product Description:
The Airbrush Matte Bronzer* is an oversized natural matte bronzer that is infused with hyaluronic acid and finely milled pigments for a skin-perfecting bronzed filter for the face and body. – Sephora
Haul Status: Purchased
I picked up the Charlotte Tilbury Airbrush Matte Bronzer in medium when I got my hands on one of the $1,000 Sephora Rouge rewards this past summer. How could I pass up an opportunity to snag this luxury bronzer for free?
Charlotte Tilbury Luxury Eyeshadow Palette in Exaggereyes | $53.00, CF
Product Description:
Bigger Brighter Eyes in Exagger-Eyes is a rose-gold eyeshadow palette quad, featuring an ivory-cream, rose-gold, red-brown and a transparent sparkle shade to create the illusion of wider, brighter-looking eyes. Inspired by the sparkling, eye-widening filters of social media! – Charlotte Tilbury website
Haul Status: Purchased
Similar to the Charlotte Tilbury Airbrush Matte Bronzer, I purchased the Exagger-Eyes quad during a special Sephora promo. In particular, I grabbed this iconic quad during the sale Sephora held to celebrate the reopening of its physical stores.
Fenty Beauty Slip Shine Sheer Shiny Lipstick in Retro Rose | $22.00, CF
Product Description:
The Fenty Beauty Slip Shine Sheer Shiny Lipstick is an ultra comfortable sheer lipstick with the perfect amount of nourishing color and shine, available in 10 universal, easy-to-wear shades—no mirror needed. Retro Rose is a sheer dusty pink. – Fenty Beauty
Haul Status: Passed
Although a part of me still wants the Retro Rose Fenty Beauty Slip Shine Sheer Shiny Lipstick, I am considering this a product I passed on. Despite being presented with the opportunity to purchase Retro Rose at a discount, I chose to purchase the shades Cookies & Cocoa and Makeout Break instead.
Read my review on the Fenty Beauty Deep Neutrals Snap Shadow Palette.
Patrick Ta Major Brow Shaping Wax | $22.00, CF
Product Description:
The Major Brow Shaping Wax is an innovative defining wax that will maximize the shape of your brows. Formulated with Growth Peptides, Glycerine, and Olive Oil, this brow wax promises to help nourish and soften brow hairs while still stimulating growth. – Sephora
Haul Status: Purchased
I purchased the Major Brow Shaping Wax during the same Sephora Haul where I grabbed the Exagger-Eyes Quad.
Patrick Ta Monochrome Moment Blush – Velvet Blush in She’s Adorable | $32.00, CF
Product Description:
The Monochrome Moment Blush is a creamy, smooth, and seamless cheek color that glides onto the skin and melts upon contact for a flawless, second-skin finish. – Sephora
Haul Status: Purchased
I purchased the Monochrome Moment blush in She’s Adorable during the most recent VIB Sale at Sephora. Although I wanted to pick up a couple shades, I stick to my gut to only grab the one shade that appealed to me most.
Tower 28 Beauty BeachPlease Tinted Lip + Cheek Balm in Magic Hour | $20.00, CF
Product Description:
The BeachPlease Tinted Lip + Cheek Balm is a multi-purpose tinted balm that blends seamlessly for a natural luminous finish. No cakiness. No harsh lines. Just beautiful, sun-kissed skin. Lucky you. Golden Hour is a sun-kissed orange. – Tower 28 Beauty
Haul Status: Purchased
I “purchased” Golden Hour with my $100 Rouge Reward in a specialty kit that included this vibrant cream cheek product and a mini size of the brand’s clear Lip Jelly. Read this post rounding up the 10 bomb clean makeup brands on my radar.
Tower 28 Beauty Bronzino Illuminating Bronzer in West Coast | $20.00, CF
Product Description:
The Bronzino Illuminating Bronzer is inspired by that moment when the sun sets over the ocean, Bronzino is a blendable, buildable illuminating cream bronzer for that effortless, summer glow from within. Bronzino comes in 2 buildable shades with a multi-dimensional sheen. West Coast is a Medium-tone bronze with neutral undertones. – Tower 28 Beauty

Original Wish List: $184.00 // Amount Spent: $87.26
Skincare Wishlist
Biossance Squalane + Zinc Sheer Mineral Sunscreen SPF 30 PA +++ | $30.00, CF
Product Description:
The Squalane + Zinc Sheer Mineral Sunscreen SPF 30 PA +++ is a super sheer, 100-percent non-nano zinc SPF 30 sunscreen that protects and hydrates even the most sensitive skin. – Sephora
Haul Status: Lust
Although I still long to try this lotion-like sunscreen I held off on purchasing this hyped up clean beauty release due the backups I already own from other brands. However, I have no doubt in my mind that I’ll eventually purchase this sunscreen. Read more about Biossance and 9 other bomb clean skincare brands I want to try.
Farmacy Honey Potion Renewing Anti-Oxidant Hydration Face Mask | $56.00, CF
Product Description:
The Farmacy Honey Potion Renewing Anti-Oxidant Hydration Face Mask is an intensely hydrating honey face mask for a glowing complexion! Infused with powerful antioxidants, this warming mask leaves skin soft, supple and plump with hydration. Mask day or night for an indulgent spa experience. – Farmacy Beauty
Haul Status: Purchased
Over the summer I was finally able to get my hands on the Honey Potion Mask during one of the brand’s 25% off sale. Given my struggles with eczema and sensitivity I knew this would be a great product to keep on hand for particularly bad flare ups. Read my review of IOPE’s Derma Gentle Cica Cream for my thoughts on another go-to skincare staple when my skin is sensitized.
Fresh Sugar Hydrating Lip Balm in Peach | $18.00, CF
Product Description:
The Peach Sugar Hydrating Lip Balm is a cushiony, peach-flavored lip balm that delivers nonstop 24-hour moisture and a smooth natural shine. – Fresh Beauty
Haul Status: Passed
Fresh is one of the few brands that I consistently repurchase from every year. The Soy Face Cleanser and Advanced Lip Therapy Treatment are two of my holy grail skincare products. With that said, the Sugar Hydrating Lip Balms fell off my list. While I’m sure these balms are lovely, I am the *not so proud* owner of 20+ lip balms that I need to work through before I even consider buying another balm.
Glow Recipe Watermelon Glow Ultra-Fine Mist | $28.00, CF
Product Description:
The Watermelon Glow Ultra-Fine Mist is an ultra-fine, hydrating mist formulated with a juicy blend of 84-percent watermelon, hyaluronic acid, and hibiscus to refresh skin and enhance makeup. – Sephora
Haul Status: Purchased
After receiving a targeted 25% off coupon, I jumped at the chance to try Glow Recipe’s hyped up Watermelon Glow Ultra-Fine Mist at such a discount. Check out my thoughts on another clean setting spray from My Clarins.
Skinfix Eczema+ Dermatitis Face Balm | $28.00, CF
Product Description:
The Eczema + Dermatitis Face Balm is a concentrated balm to soothe facial dermatitis, eczema, and dry skin patches, leaving skin soothed and protected. – Sephora
Haul Status: Passed
Now that I’ve discovered some other calming and nourishing moisturizers, serums, and masks to help combat my eczema flare ups, I kicked the Skinfix Eczema + Dermatitis Face Balm off my wish list. That being said, if I experience a particularly bad flare up in the future, I could easily purchase this targeted skin fix.
Sol de Janeiro Coco Cabana Body Cream | $45.00, CF
Product Description:
The Coco Cabana Body Cream is a superior, moisture-plush oil-in-water body cream that instantly hydrates and soothes for soft, bouncy skin. – Sephora
Haul Status: Passed
I am STILL a Coco Cabana apologist. However, I own far too many moisturizers to consider purchasing this Sol de Janeiro classic at this time. Maybe I’ll purchase this cream in the future, but I need to finish most of what I already own first.
Sol de Janeiro SOL Cheirosa ’62 Eau de Parfum | $78.00, CF
Product Description:
The SOL Cheirosa ’62 Eau de Parfum is the scent of summer, beloved in the iconic Brazilian Bum Bum Cream. Blended with addictive gourmand notes of salted caramel, pistachio, jasmine, and vanilla, this boldly delicious fragrance always inspires compliments and curiosity. Prepare to want more and more. – Sephora
Haul Status: Passed
Technically I attempted to purchase the SOL Cheirosa ’62 Eau de Parfum during a Sephora at JCP online pricing glitch. However, the order was never processed, so I never received the product. With that said, I’ve heard that the scent of this perfume isn’t long lasting. With this in mind, I’ll keep to my Brazilian Crush Body Mist.
Tatcha The Mini Deep Cleanse Exfoliating Cleanser | $16.00, CF
Product Description:
The Tatcha Deep Cleanse Exfoliating Cleanser is daily gel cleanser with natural fruit exfoliant that thoroughly but gently lifts impurities and unclogs pores while leaving skin soft and hydrated. – Sephora
Haul Status: Received for Free
I received a deluxe mini of the Deep Cleanse Exfoliating Cleanser and Water Cream as a Sephora Point Perk in 2020. While I technically chose to receive this mini sample, I never paid for it!

Tower 28 Beauty S.O.S. Save Our Skin Rescue Facial Spray | $28.00, CF
Product Description:
The SOS Rescue Facial Spray is a soothing, purifying, and repairing daily rescue spray for angry, stressed out skin. 100% Natural. Dermatologist Tested. Clinically Proven. SOS has received the National Eczema Association’s Seal of Acceptance™ and is safe for all skin types. – Tower 28 Beauty
Haul Status: Purchased
During a horrifyingly bad eczema flare up in 2020 I picked up a full-size of the S.O.S. Save Our Skin Rescue Facial Spray at my local Sephora. All I can say is that this spray fully lives up to the hype. It helped to calm and repair my itchy, angry skin.
With the above said, this is the ONLY product featured in this round up revisiting my $1,000 Dream Sephora Haul that I purchased at full price. In fact, this is the only product featured in this roundup that I purchased multiple times.

Briogeo Be Gentle, Be Kind™ Avocado + Kiwi Mega Moisture Superfoods Hair Mask | $36.00, CF

Be Gentle, Be Kind Avocado + Kiwi Mega Moisture Superfoods Hair Mask is a protein-free, nourishing hair mask formulated with highly emollient ingredients to boost moisture for softer, more manageable hair. – Sephora
Haul Status: Passed
Although I spend a lot on makeup and skincare, I am far less willing to really spend on haircare products. Also, with my incased sensitivity, I’ve had to be careful about the hair products I use in my routine.
Dyson Supersonic Hair Dryer | $399.00
Product Description:
The Dyson Supersonic™ hair dryer is engineered to protect hair from extreme heat damage, with the fastest drying* and controlled styling to help increase smoothness by 75%, increase shine by up to 132% and decrease frizz and flyaways by up to 61%.** The limited edition gift set features Dyson Supersonic™ in fuchsia and nickel, with a Dyson-designed 1.4” vented round brush and detangling comb. – Sephora
Haul Status: Lust
Here’s the true tea: If I didn’t lose my mind during Black Friday, I would be the proud owner of a Dyson. How so? Well, apparently T.J. Maxx, Marshalls, and Nordstrom Rack sell refurbished versions of these high end dryers for $300. One day, I’ll own some Dyson tools.
Olaplex No. 0 Intensive Bond Building Hair Treatment Kit | 28.00, CF
Product Description:
The No 0 Intensive Bond Building Hair Treatment Kit is a professional-inspired, intensive treatment that primes hair for deeper repair, strengthens, and protects hair integrity leveraging the OLAPLEX™ patented bond-building technology. – Sephora
Haul Status: Lust
My thin, frizzy hair STILL needs as much help as it can get. However, I still haven’t tried my current bundle of Olaplex products. Therefore, I cannot justify spending more on
Original Wish List: $458.00 // Amount Spent: $0.00
Original Grande Total: $1,014.00
Amount Spent in 2020 on Wish List Products: $178.26
Final Thoughts on Revisiting my $1000 Dream Sephora Haul
When I set out with the intention of revisiting my $1000 Dream Sephora Haul, I thought I was going to look like a major clown who purchased nearly everything on her wish list. However, I was quite happy to see that I passed on or held off purchasing most of the items in this list. In total, I spent less than $200 of my own dollars to purchase items featured on this wish list.
Obviously, my total would have been higher had I not received the $100 Rouge Reward. However, it is possible that I may not have purchased the 3 items I grabbed for free. Of the 19 products included in this post revisiting my $1000 Dream Sephora Haul, I purchased 6 products and received 4 for free due to my Sephora Rouge standing.

March 16, 2021 at 1:27 pmHave you every done a post about how you organize and store all your makeup and brushes? I’m just wondering, because as I read this, I’m thinking… wow! This is a ton of stuff and you must have so much. I wonder how you keep it all sorted? It’d be interesting to me to know. Just curious.

March 17, 2021 at 12:37 pmThis is such a fun post, LP! I love seeing what you purchased and what held up. I bought a Dyson in the last year, and I don’t regret it a bit even though I’m probably still paying for it. My hair holds water and the quick dry alone is worth it. Also, I have a Dyson vac that is 16 years old and works like new. Love their stuff.
Mimi says
March 18, 2021 at 1:46 pmI need to revisit mine too but in all honestly, most of my list was CT stuff that ended up arriving in Italy a couple of days after the post came out. I put a few of her kits in the post but I ended up buying the products singularly in what I like the call the “Mimi makes a CT order every week” month aka October. I also feel like my preferences change so often some of the products I wanted back then aren’t in my radar anymore which makes me happy that I haven’t bought them in the end.
