"I got my first paycheck for my first job (at B. Dalton bookstore in the mall), and I went straight to Sephora and blew the entire thing. I think I also picked up a lip gloss and eyeshadow, but the Nars makeup brushes ($40) stand out in my mind — they were so expensive but also so beautiful, and it felt like a grown-up thing to buy." — Dawn Davis, senior editorial director, Brandshop
