3 Reasons to Hoard Your Sephora Beauty Insider VIB Points

March 2, 2014

I think it’s safe to say that if you’re reading this post you’re a member of the VIB (Very Important Beauty Insider) program at Sephora. If not, hit pause and go sign up.

As easily as I’m enabled in my beauty purchases I’m not so inclined to throw my VIB points around all willy nilly. I guess you could call me a VIB Points Hoarder, and I’m okay with that. Why? Because good things come to those who wait.

3 Reasons to Save Your Sephora Beauty Insider VIB PointsSephora has fabulous 500 point gifts, but they’re not all created equal. Over the years I’ve noticed that the best ones come at the end of the year, and sometimes there’s even a sweet 1000 point gift. 2013 was no exception.

Reason 1: Dior – mini Dior Addict EDT, mini Dior Addict Lipstick in 578 and a charm necklace. 500 points.

Dior Sephora VIB Beauty GiftReason 2: NARS – mini Orgasm Blush, mini Copacabana Illuminator, mini Gold Digger Larger Than Life Lip Gloss and a mini Smudge-Proof Eyeshadow Base. 500 points.

NARS Sephora VIB Beauty GiftReason 3: Yves Saint Laurent – mini eye makeup remover, mini eye pencil, mini babydoll mascara and a charm bracelet. 500 points.

YSL Sephora VIB Beauty GiftThey also had amazing ones from Balenciaga and Dolce & Gabbana!

    That is an amazing perk! I try to save my points too, it’s usually not too hard as I find the samples tend to be pretty meh most of the time.

    I grabbed a Fresh 500 pt sampler recently. It had the Seabuckthorn Oil (amazing), Soy Cleanser and a face cream. The sizes were great, and I’m pleased I jumped on it! Wishing I’d caught the Dior gift though! 🙂

    I also hoard my Sephora points. I don’t recall very many 100 pts that I felt were worth it. My favorite so far was the Bobbi Brown one last fall or winter. Was a palette with Pale Pink blush and 4 eyeshadows and a mini mascara. I’m a sucker for Pale Pink blush. The eyeshadows are OK and gave me a chance to try BB mascara – which I really liked. And I’ve snagged a couple of Caudalie 500 pt ones along the way as well.

      I find very few 100 points that I’ll go for – unless it’s a fragrance I’m dying to try or a brand new mascara from one of my fave brands. Sometimes even with the 500 I’m like… wtf? lol but usually they’re pretty good!

    Well I better start hoarding my points! I usually blow them right away. Now I am going to hold off until the holidays! Thanks!

      np!! Def hold onto them until you see something you MUST have! A lot of times, esp with the 100 pt ones, it’s samples you can get free with a purchase or if you ask at Macy’s or any other dept store (at the counters).

    I’ve been hoarding my points for years! I think I’ve gotten one 100-point item, and almost got the Urban Decay set from a few months ago, but passed on it. I really liked the sets with the charm bracelets, but missed out on those. I finally used some on the L’Occitane set that just came out!

      L’Occitane is fabulous! I panic when my points dip under 500 lol I’m so afraid to miss something good. I’m stingy with them, though 😉

    I redeemed my points for the Urban Decay set a while back, then just yesterday I redeemed for the L’Occitane Favorites set they have available right now. I am so excited! 😀

Instagram post 2181515729102509553_48458351 #ad The top of my daughter's Christmas wish list every single year? @AmericanGirlBrand. She's wanted Julie for years and she's so excited to finally own her! Julie's accessories include a REAL (though sized for the littles) pinball machine, Christmas Fireplace and more. (LINK IN BIO to see the blog post!) I loved this shot of them hanging by my aunt's VW. Though it's not from the 70's I think Julie still appreciates the nod to her favorite decade.

They can be extremely picky without actually being picky and that means that my husband and I need to come up with some foolproof ideas for under the Christmas tree (so as not to be shown up by the big guy!). ⠀

Instagram post 2180076725802939170_48458351 Every year I love how our family Christmas cards turn out. So much so that I always end up ordering them super early so I can hold them in my hands as soon as possible. It's taken everything in me to not send them out immediately but I'm over here trying to respect Thanksgiving 😅.⠀
• ⠀
@Minted is always the top choice for us because of the quality of the cards we get + I love the shine of the foil pressed look. Every year I'm more and more impressed! Visit my blog post (#LinkInBio) for more details & a discount code.⠀
