Sephora Mini Purchase

Prior to my mini Project 10 Pan, I made a small Sephora purchase.  I could not resist stocking up on more of these metallic eye shadows! I was ecstatic when I saw additional shades went on sale!

 

Sephora Mini Purchase

 

 

SEPHORA COLLECTION
Outrageous Prisma Chrome Metallic Eyeshadow (Taupe #6)

Retail $16.00 on sale for $7.00!

 I saw swatches of this online and was blown away by the pigmentation!
 

 

SEPHORA COLLECTION
Outrageous Prisma Chrome Metallic Eyeshadow (Lilac #10)

Retail $16.00 on sale for $7.00!

 

This shade is so pretty and original. Plus the price is amazing for the quality!

I used my Sephora Groupon which saved me $5.00 and my free shipping VIB code from my welcome package.

 

No free deluxe sample this time since my purchase was less than $25 (Sephora typically gives a code for a free deluxe sample when you make a $25 purchase) and also because I used my free shipping code (Sephora only allows you to use one code per order). I was wondering when I'd make use of my free shipping code since I usually spend enough to qualify for free shipping (Sephora offers free 3 day shipping on orders of $50 or more), and wouldn't want to pass up on a free deluxe sample with purchase. But because I was able to combine my VIB code with my Groupon, I was able to pick up just a couple of clearance items that wouldn't qualify for a free deluxe sample anyway! Plus, I still got my 3 free samples that you can get with any purchase!

 

 

Free Samples: Hourglass Immaculate Liquid Powder Foundation Mattifying Oil, MAKE UP FOR EVER Pro Finish Multi-Use Powder Foundation, and BECCA Radiant Skin Satin Finish Foundation  

 

I haven't tried a new foundation in quite some time, so I'm excited to check these out!

 

Extra Free Sample: Urban Decay Naked Skin

 

Total spent: $10.12 including the purchase price of the Groupon!!

Did you get the Sephora Groupon? If so, how do you plan to use it?
 

Sephora Beauty Splurge Pt. IV

Hey guys! I just wanted to start out by telling you some exciting news...

 

 

I'm a VIB!!!

 

This is my first time becoming a VIB! In order to achieve VIB status you must spend $350 at Sephora in a calendar year. You maintain VIB status the year in which you become a VIB and the following year. I can not wait to take advantage of all my benefits!!

 

My welcome package gives me three one time perks to be used within 90 days:

45 minute dedicated makeover session with an expert beauty advisor

10% off next purchase

Free shipping on next purchase

 

VIB benefits include:

Attending Private Events

Get Seasonal Gifts

Try New Products Early

Shop Sales First

 

Now that I just achieved VIB status, I see Sephora has a VIB Rouge status. You can reach VIB Rouge status when you spend $1,000 in a calendar year. While my Sephora addiction is growing, I don't know if I'll quite reach that status anytime soon.

 

Now a quick look at the purchase that gave me VIB status:

 

 

 

Sephora Beauty Haul #4

Clarisonic Plus Sonic Skin Cleansing System

I finally invested in a Clarisonic!! I have been going crazy researching the different models, debating between purchasing the Mia 2 or Plus. I finally decided upon the Plus since you can also use it on your body in addition to your face. I went with this Sephora Exclusive set-I just love the coral color!!

 

 

Free Deluxe Sample: Stila Stay All Day Liquid Lipstick (Beso)

I have been dying to try Stila for quite some time now! I don't have a lot of red lip products and I don't tend to have a lot of liquid lipsticks, so this will add some diversity to my makeup stash!!

 

 

 

Free Samples: Philosophy Living Grace (tried it- it's a nice light scent), Living Proof Satin Hair Serum, Philosophy Miracle Worker, and Laura Mercier Foundation Primer-Radiance

 

One of my chosen samples was bare Minerals Lash Domination Volumizing Mascara, but they must have ran out since they gave me the last two other samples in its place. I'm a little disappointed for the substitution, but I already have a ton of mascara so it's not a major loss.

 

Are you a Beauty Insider, VIB, or a VIB Rouge?

Do you have a Clarisonic? Which model do you prefer?
