Hey Beauties!
It's that time of the year again and I could not be more excited! The happiest store on earth is gearing up to host their bi-annual VIB/VIB Rouge Sale!
The VIB Sale is the only time of the year when you can get a coveted discount on your favourite high-end makeup and there are absolutely no restrictions. The sale usually lands around the first week of November (it began on the 4th last year) and it usually lasts for about a week.
The sale has a staggered discount system depending on your VIB status. BI and VIB receive 15% off and VIB Rouge receive 20% off their entire purchase and there is no limit on how many items you can buy or orders you can place.
I have already starting planning what I want to pick up during the sale and I thought you guys might like to see what is currently sitting in my cart!

When it comes time for the VIB sale, every Sephora shopper is on their toes and ready to sprint. This sale only comes around twice a year and it's the only time when you can receive a discount on your favourite products. It can turn into a chaotic mess if you don't plan ahead so the best advice I can give you is to plan ahead!
Figure out if you will be shopping in-store or online and then make a game plan. Make a list of all the products you want and order them from must have to might want. If you are shopping online, add items to your cart ahead of time so you can check out in just a few seconds while others are surfing the site.
Use this opportunity to stock up on your essentials like foundation/concealer/powder or build up your kit with a new set of brushes. Best of all, use the discount to treat yourself with a luxury product or two!
This is also the perfect time to get a head start on your christmas shopping list with all of the new holiday kits coming out ready for you to snap up.
I hope this gives you a little bit of inspiration for how to attack the Sephora VIB Sale this year! I will update this post once they release the dates!
