Sephora very rarely has deals for bonus points. Around Mother's Day fragerence is 3x the points. This August, like last year, they are having a fantastic point promo:
2x the points for Beauty Insiders
3x the points for VIBs
4x the points for VIB Rouge
To sweeten the deal for VIB Rouge they are having a reception at every location in Canada on August 6th. Rouges are able to invite 1 friend. Needless to say my friend and I have already RSVP'd.
The Rouge and friend will each receive a make-up bag filled with samples with a minimum purchase of $50. The Rouge will also get a limited edition tote bag. These samples are only available at the reception. Samples may vary by store.
Last year the sample bag was unreal. And, if this photo is any indication of what is to come...well.
That sample bag looks fantastic! Laura Mercier, Living Proof, Make Up Forever...
In addition, the fine print says:

My shopping list so far:
NARS Olympia $46*
A new perfume ~$70
Hourglass Ambient Light Blush in Mood Exposure $41*
Urban Decay Sin Eyeshadow Primer $24
Make Up Forever Smoky Extravagant Mascara $28
Glamglow Thirsty Mud $76

I can't say if I will end up buying all of this, however I am planning to spend about $200-$250 which will earn me 800-1000 points. Hmm...maybe I will cave for the Benefit 500 point gift after all.
I will also be asking my mom and grandma if there is anything they need. Might as well stock up on Christmas and birthday gifts!
*Items that I will order online with gift with purchase codes (orders of $35 CAD+)
