Sephora Cyber Monday Spring New Launches!

A bunch of brand new products just dropped on Sephora.com tonight for VIB Rouge (and for everyone else on Cyber Monday so if you're not Rouge, check back after midnight tonight). 

Looking for a New Perfume? Check Out This Sephora VIB Freebie!

I just got an email about an amazing fragrance freebie from Sephora and I couldn't wait to share it with you guys! 

VIB and VIB Rouge members that spend $35+ at Sephora.com can get this Derek Lam 10 Crosby fragrance sample set that includes the entire line of all 10 scents free using code VIBDEREK10.

I ended up ordering the new Laura Mercier Candleglow Perfecting Powder, which I've been really wanting to try and since it's $38 I was able to qualify for this freebie. I've been looking for a new fall/winter perfume and so many of these sound amazing!

 Here are the scent descriptions for all 10: 

Have you tried any of the 10 Crosby fragrances yet? This is a fantastic chance to try them all so if you have something to get at Sephora be sure to add this to your cart!

Sephora VIB Sale Ideas, Recommendations, and What I'm Getting

The Sephora VIB 20% off sale starts tomorrow, Nov. 4-7 for Rouge (use code 20ROUGE) and Nov. 11-14 for VIB (use code 20VIB). Beauty Insiders will get their chance in December (not sure of the date just yet).
Today I wanted to share my own personal wishlist, as well as some ideas and recommendations of things I've already purchased. Let's get started!

Sephora VIB Rouge Holiday Preview

If you're VIB Rouge at Sephora, be sure to check your email! You're invited to preview the Holiday sets in store on September 10th from 8:30-10:00am. You need to RSVP for this event by Thursday, September 8th, and you can bring a friend (who does not have to be Rouge). So if you're not a Rouge but know someone who is, tell them to hook you up and bring you along! 

You'll also get a sample bag with any $35 purchase.

Now this is the part you've all been waiting for...the actual Holiday sets! Some of these won't be out to the general public until October, so you won't want to miss this event. 

I'm already registered and I'm definitely getting the Tarte set, the Urban Decay Illuminators, and possibly the Too Faced palette (although I really want the ones launching at Ulta too!). The Laura Mercier palette is also really tempting.

What do you think of the Sephora holiday sets this year? Do you have your eye on any of them?

Sephora Play Available Now!

I got an email today that the Sephora Play! Subscription box is now available for anyone to sign up. There are still a limited number of spots to go around so if you're interested, I would jump on it as soon as you can.

It's $10 a month and features 5 deluxe samples plus a fragrance bonus. Past boxes have included deluxe sized products from GlamGlow, Marc Jacobs Beauty, Bumble & Bumble, Sunday Riley, Nars, Fresh, Kat Von D, and more! These are the brands I wish were in my other subscription boxes, so I didn't waste any time signing up for this one.

Here's a look at April's box...it includes one of my favorite face serums, Sunday Riley Good Genes, which retails for $105!

I'm hoping I signed up early enough to get a May box...I think they ship out at the beginning of the month.

Grab your subscription now before they're gone at Sephora.com

An INCREDIBLE Sephora Freebie plus More!

If you've ordered from Sephora online before you probably know that they frequently offer free deluxe samples with a $25 purchase. Well if you're planning a Sephora haul in the next day or two, you'll definitely want to read this! 

I placed an order last week for some of the new Tarte Rainforest of the Sea products and I used the code INTHENUDE to get a free deluxe sample of the new Clinique Chubby in the Nude Foundation Stick ($24).  I was expecting a miniature stick (like the ones you sometimes get from Benefit) but what arrived was huge! It's .12 oz which is more than half the size of the full-sized version (.21 oz). So I estimate the value to be around $13-$14...not bad for a freebie huh? 

Here it is next to some of my other full-sized stick foundations...it's not as chunky as the Make Up For Ever one but it's just a tiny bit shorter than my N.Y.C Get It All foundation! So if you're planning a Sephora order in the next few days, definitely add this one to your cart...there are four shades left at the time of this post. So far, I'm loving it! It goes on really creamy and almost completely disappears into your skin so it looks like you're not wearing anything...yet it gives buildable medium coverage. 

If stick foundations aren't your thing, check out these other freebies you can get right now with a $25 Sephora.com order (codes are on the bottom right)...

Tons of Sephora Coupon Codes!

I have a bunch of Sephora coupon codes I wanted to share with you guys! Most of these require a minimum $25 purchase (but that's easy to do at Sephora, right?) except where noted. I got these from various sources, emails from readers, Sephora emails and from Ebates, which always has a bunch at any given time. A couple of them, such as the Bare Minerals Trio and Bobbi Brown Serum concealer have different shade options, some of which are sold out already.

Yesterday's Ulta and Sephora Haul

I've been dying to get to Ulta to see the new J.Cat and Makeup Revolution displays but the closest store to me is over 45 minutes away, so I don't get there that often. But when I do go, I try to make the most of it and end up purchasing a bunch of things all at once. I also stopped into Sephora quickly to get a couple of things since I had a gift card to use up (and it's 4x points this week for Rouge members). So here's what I got!
