Add to Basket: My Sephora Sale Wishlist

We are less than two weeks away from the semi-annual Sephora sale and, as a VIB Rouge member, you know I’m going to be all up on that. I have spent countless hours...no, weeks...no, months working on my shopping list, since the last sale in April, in fact! I have researched, read reviews, swatched, and watched endless YouTube videos to prepare for this event. What can I say? I am ambitious and I have a shopping problem.

This is my favourite time of the year not just because of the sale – ‘cause, let’s be real, 20% off at Sephora ain’t all that…shit’s still gonne be expensive! While I’ve been ready to jump into Christmas since September, the Sephora sale is when I really get into the holiday cheer. All the holiday sets and fellow beauty lovers gathered in one spot really makes me all sorts of giddy inside!

Some of you may wonder how you can get into this oh-so exclusive club and earn yourself that "hefty" 20% discount. The trick is to spend like there's no tomorrow! Forget about feeding yourself, your family, your cat. Forget about paying off the mortgage and that roof over your head. Forget about the basic necessities of life. I work hard to splurge hard.

If you haven't heard the sad news yet, this year there will be NO closed Rouge event for us hard core spenders. While this is devastating, to say the least, it won't stop me from spending my hard-earned money at Sephora. Here are the sale details for the event this year:

BEAUTY INSIDER

Unfortunately, Beauty Insiders are not eligible for a discount this year. Sorry!

Despite being prepared with a list and a budget (haha whaaaa?!), I always get a little wild during the sale. Will I purchase everything on my list? Hell no, cause I don't shit gold. I hope to stick to a reasonable budget with the help of my #beautybesties, Yvonne and Christine - one will wag her finger and the other will enable, perfect balance! We will be shopping online using the Ebates website for cash back because a) cash back, b) no line ups and c) samples! The cash back amount in the past was 8% so that's a fair amount of money back (for more shopping in the future) depending on how much you spend!
