Sephora VIB Rouge Renewal Gifts

After I made the decision to renew VIB Rouge for 2016, I received an email from Sephora letting me know that my “Rouge Status is solid until December 31, 2017” and that I could pick up my VIB Rouge renewal gift if I haven’t already. And they showed a picture of the Nars blush that I wanted! muffinchanel vib rouge renewal gifts nars blushThis post may contain affiliate links; all opinions are my own. See Disclosures here

I first gained VIB Rouge status in 2013 with the inception of Sephora’s Rewards Program’s highest tier. I was really excited to see what exclusive perks were in store as a VIB Rouge and all that came with this elite level.

Sephora VIB Rouge | Beauty Before Brunch

This post may contain affiliate links; all opinions are my own. See Disclosures here

We went to Sephora’s VIB Rouge “Beauty Before Brunch” event this morning and we had a great time. The Beauty Before Brunch event was an exclusive VIB Rouge shopping event to launch the 15% off spring sale. I attended last year’s spring event, and overall, I would say that this event was better.

muffinchanel sephora vib vibrouge spring sale discount marc jacobs tarte lancome dior beauty before brunch confirmationI RSVP’d right away for myself and a guest. We arrived today at around 9:30am and they checked us in at a table near the entrance — everyone was super friendly and energetic. I was really fun to be around people who are all excited about beauty, skincare and makeup.

For the Sephora VIB Rouge event there was a small setup of food in the back of the store — way smaller than last year’s spread. It was kind of disappointing, but I didn’t come here for the muffins & bagels…muffinchanel sephora vib vibrouge spring sale discount marc jacobs tarte lancome dior beauty before brunch food




I already had a list ready to go…with a few minor changes. And I found everything on my list! Yay!muffinchanel sephora vib vibrouge spring sale discount marc jacobs tarte lancome dior beauty before brunch sephora haulI got the new Marc Jacobs #InstaMarc Light Filtering Contour Powders in 40 Mirage. This was the main reason I went into the store instead of ordering online. The 40 Mirage shade has been sold out online for a while but they said it was available in store. I went to the Marc Jacobs section right away and they were out of this color….I was super sad until I turned around and saw it on a “Contouring” podium. hallelujah!

muffinchanel sephora vib vibrouge spring sale discount marc jacobs tarte lancome dior beauty before brunch tarte amazonian clay airbrush foundationWith 15% off, I picked up another Tarte Amazonian Clay Airbrush Foundation. I love the coverage of this foundation and how easy it is to apply. I first picked this up at Sephora’s Spring Sale last year!




muffinchanel sephora vib vibrouge spring sale discount marc jacobs tarte lancome dior beauty before brunch mascaraI picked up the Dior Lash Plumping Serum as an eyelash primer and I got the waterproof version of my favorite mascara — Lancome Hypnose Drama!

I’m really happy with my purchases and the sample baggie we got. Great customer service today as well — really makes VIB Rouge feel a little extra special. We got a ton of awesome samples and color matched for two great foundations. Everyone was awesome today and I’m really happy we went.

What did you pick up today? Or what will you be getting during the sale? 🙂

Sephora Haul + VIB Rouge

This post may contain affiliate links; all opinions are my own. See Disclosures here

I recently picked up a few things from Sephora with my birthday gift cards and was super excited because I got a bunch of extra freebies and renewed my VIB Rouge status!

MuffinChanel Sephora VIB Rouge Birthday Haul 2014 purity made simple philosophyI purchased another bottle of the Purity cleanser by Philosophy. I really like how well it removes makeup and doesn’t leave my skin feeling dried out. I also bought the Lancome Regenerie Lift Multi-Action moisturizer — I use this as my morning moisturizer because it has SPF 15 and it is so smooth and hydrating. (It smells great too!).

MuffinChanel Sephora VIB Rouge Birthday Haul 2014 freebies free gratisI had to pick up two bottles of the 100-point perk – Lancome Genefique! I’m running low on my actual full-sized bottle and these are basically free, so I picked two!

MuffinChanel Sephora VIB Rouge Birthday Haul 2014 lancome genefiqueI’ve never heard of DevaCurl, but the sample of this One Condition Daily Conditioner was huge and I have curly hair, so I thought it would be cool to try it out.

It has five sample pouches of the Argan Cleansing oil, which I’ve never tried but always wanted to; the 100% Pure Argan Oil (which I LOVE); and the new Argan Daily Moisturizer with SPF 47.

VIB Rouge Spring Social + Sephora HAUL

The Spring Social was Sephora’s first store-wide VIB Rouge event and we had so much fun. If you were already VIB Rouge, you might have received your invite in the mail or through email.

The event was “closed door” from 9-11am today for all VIB Rouges who RSVP’d. My friend and I got there about 9:30am and the store was super busy! They checked us in at the door and we were greeted by everyone. There was fun music, Starbucks, cute little waters & snacky pastries in the back.

Two hair styling stations were set up in the back and every beauty station had someone getting her makeup done. It was such a fun vibe and it was cool to shop with other people who love beauty, skincare and makeup as much as I do.

I had a list of everything I wanted to get and I was super excited about the extra 15% off + VIB Rouge goody bag!

VIB Rouge – Special Surprise Gifts

This post may contain affiliate links; all opinions are my own. See Disclosures here

The top tier of Sephora’s Beauty Insider program is VIB Rouge. I recently became Rouge level with my haul from the VIB sale last month and have been excited for all the perks that come with Rouge status — invites to exclusive events, free shipping, free access to the beauty studio, and special surprise gifts.

muffinchanel vib rouge vibr special surprise gifts vib sephora free

I am very happy with the free shipping. I haven’t used the Beauty Studio at all (and don’t think I will) (have any of you used the Beauty Studio services?) but it’s nice that the option for a free makeover is available. I think it’d be fun to go to a VIB Rouge event, but I was really excited/curious about these “surprise gifts.”

I started researching online about what the gifts were & how frequently they were given, but no one seemed to have gotten anything. In fact, the VIB Rouge forum at sephora.com was full of girls who were upset about not yet receiving anything.

But I got an email today about getting $20 off your purchase of $50 or more that’s “exclusive” for VIB Rouge and VIB’s (thanks for the info sdbeautyjunkie and prettytrippy) whereas BI and VIB level will receive a $15 off $50 coupon. Check your email if you are a Beauty Insider — the coupon starts today and goes through December 16th.





muffinchanel vib rouge vibr special surprise gifts vib sephora free coupon 20I went to Sephora today and was pleasantly surprised to receive another special surprise gift!

muffinchanel vib rouge vibr special surprise gifts vib sephora free mirrorSince I am VIB Rouge, they were giving out a cute mirrored compact and a holiday/thank you card. So cute!

muffinchanel vib rouge vibr special surprise gifts vib sephora freeThe compact is black on the top with “SEPHORA VIB ROUGE” in red lettering. I opened the mirror and it had a cute note inside:

“DEAR VIB ROUGE, THANK YOU FOR BEING ONE OF OUR BEST CLIENTS. BEAUTY ADDICTION LOOKS GOOD ON YOU. HAPPY HOLIDAYS, SEPHORA BEAUTY INSIDER TEAM”

muffinchanel vib rouge vibr special surprise gifts vib sephora free note…and inside the card





muffinchanel vib rouge vibr special surprise gifts vib sephora free cardYou can get the compact online as well by using the code: ROUGELOVE.

What a cute little gift! I wasn’t expecting anything, so this was perfect. I actually really like the mirror and will carry it in my purse. It’s little things like this that make you feel extra special.

Sephora Haul | VIB Rouge

Sephora’s 20% off sale for VIB’s just ended. Being only $34 away from VIB Rouge, I decided it would be a good time to get a couple things I had my eye on, and tip my VIB status over to the next level.

muffinchanel sephora haul urban decay living proof, clarisonic vib rougeAfter a few recent hauls (HERE, HERE, and HERE), I was pretty set with everything I wanted. I did pick up a couple of items, got a free VIB tote and redeemed some of my Beauty Insider Points.

Clarisonic Brush Head Replacement – Sensitive





muffinchanel sephora haul urban decay living proof, clarisonic vib rougeI use the “Normal” brush head now on my Clarisonic Mia, which is nice, but I wanted to try a softer brush.

Living Proof Restore Repairing & Damage Reversing Travel Kit

muffinchanel sephora haul urban decay living proof, clarisonic vib rougeI’ve been looking for a new shampoo/conditioner since Garnier Fructis changed the formula on the Triple Nutrition line. :/ My hair isn’t damaged necessarily, but it will feel dry and frizzy, especially in the winter.

Urban Decay Essentials – 500 Point Perkmuffinchanel sephora haul urban decay living proof, clarisonic vib rouge

  • b6 Vitamin-Infused Complexion Prep Spray (0.5 oz)
  • All Nighter Makeup Setting Spray (0.5 oz)
  • Eyeshadow Primer Potion Anti-Aging (0.13 oz)
  • Eyeshadow Deluxe Sample in Mushroom (0.03 oz)

This perk seemed really nice. A deluxe sample shadow, eyeshadow primer and two mini facial prepping/setting sprays. I’ve never used the Urban Decay facial sprays, but they seem like a cool idea. And for free 500 points, it’s a nice way to try out a new product.

And *Drumroll*, the VIB Rouge Welcome Kit!





photo 3So exciting! It came with a mini lipstick designed by Bite exclusively for VIB Rouge members. I now get free shipping on all orders, free makeovers anytime, special surprise gifts, and invites to exclusive rouge events. Yay!

Check out my first VIB Rouge perk!!!
