New Point Rewards from Sephora

Today, I came home to see a list of new rewards from Sephora. Now I know there's a lot of un-fairness with some of Sephora practices in regards to their pricing etc BUT I still get excited seeing these rewards. Sadly when I came home, most of them were either unavailable or not up for grabs yet.

I'm not including their 100 / 500 point perks since those are more common and always there..
In regards to their 5000/10000 points, they're not as amazing as the previous ones, (such as the 5000 points from before for a Marc Jacob bag and Marc Jacob beauty products!!!!!!!)

1000 points
For 1000 points this one is alright if you're looking for help with your look. I personally don't care for this one. With my shopping habits and overall 100 points etc redemptions I have most of those deluxe samples pictured and with my VIB ROUGE status, I get unlimited access to the beauty studio. If you're interested in spending 1000 points, I would point you to the Marc Jacob Love & Lust Lip duo which includes a full sized Cabaret lipstick and Shooting Stars lipgloss. Review for that is coming up.

5000 points

 This one is my favourite, 5000 points for 12 months of 500 point perk boxes AND double boxes for Oct-Dec. Meaning in total 15 500 point perks. I've been loving their 500 point perks and I would monthly mail from Sephora lol!! I've received their NARs one recently. I loved it so much, I bought two! Sadly by the time I saw it, "Add to Basket" was not available :( sadface

10000 points

This one is pretty amazing, I totally have a soft spot for SF. So for 10000 points, you get 2 roundtrip tickets to SF, a hotel room, a bag filled with goodies and access to Sephora Backstage experience. The date is already set for October 24th-26th!

There you have it, which ones do you like best? or are you going to break down the points to get a bunch of 100 point perks instead? If so, I am eyeing Marc Jacob deluxe gel-liner crayon! :D

Cheers!

Sephora Make Up For Ever Puttin' On The Glitz Event

Hello dear readers! Today I have a quick post about an event I attended today.

On Monday I received an email from LOULOU magazine about an event from Make Up For Ever called Puttin' On The Glitz taking place today Friday November 22 to Saturday November 23 from 11am to 9pm. The event was exclusively at Sephora Toronto Eaton Centre. I had to call to reserve a seat for the complimentary beauty session.

Here is the flyer I picked up in store:

The LOULOU email had an extra blurb about receiving a complimentary luxe sample with the mention of the exclusive LOULOU invite:

VIB Rouge Starter Kit

Hiii!!

Having to admit I spent $1000 already in this year..is it even something I should announce ahaha..?
What did I even buy?? I became a member of VIB Rouge. Sephora's newest and highest status aka screaming at everyone that I am a beauty junkie and probably spend too much (is that even possible?) at Sephora!! haah.. but yes I am and I've spent well over that amount, probably don't even want to disclose this lol...

but anyway you can trade in your silver card for a spanking new red one.
Your card comes in this fancy black box sleeve.

and when you slide it open, there's an info card welcoming you "to the top".

Lift that open and you see your contents, a card and a lipstick.

This awesome VIB Rouge package sadly does not include a 10% off card but includes a mini Bite lipstick in a Sephora exclusive red. It's pretty dark and I shockingly have to say I like it!..
Bite goes on really smooth and pigmented, I want to try on other colours before raving lol.

Other benefits include:

• MY FAVOURITE : Free shipping on all orders online WOOT WOOT!!!!!
• Surprise gifts (We'll see about that...)
• Full unlimited access to the beauty studio.. I never really use this but they do have a new IQ foundation matcher demo going on which I might try out!
• Exclusive events
• & all the other benefits you get from being a VIB aka free samples, exclusive offers and bday presents.

Honestly, I'm just excited for free shipping without having to hit a minimum! Usually I never see free samples or local events so.... we'll see..

Are you a VIB Rouge yet? Don't think it's as hard as it is to obtain as you think..$1000 easily flies out of your pocket at Sephora ahahah!!!!

Status automatically gets updated, you can pick it up at a store or it should pop up online during check out.

ps. there were the special 5000 / 10000 point perks but I won't talk about those since it's over and it caused me heart break.. because if I knew (since I asked a million times before) I wouldn't have spent sooo many of my points on the other packages :( and I didn't really use those items either sad!!!!!

Until next time,

Mir

Ciaté Chalkboard Manicure Nail Set

Hi Everyone! Today, I have the Ciaté Chalkboard Manicure Nail Set to share with you!

random Sephora freebies

Who knew fixing a mistake at Sephora = free stuff? lol..

Recently I was looking at an old Sephora receipt and realized there was a refund mistake, I quickly called the Sephora where I did the transaction and was told to go in and get it fixed asap. When I went, the person who answered the phone wasn't here so I had to explain my situation to THREE employees. 
All of them not really understanding what I saying, it was like broken telephone. So I was like "Wait, I'll explain to all three at once!" This was so awkward, then one of them was like "Let's just call and ask!". Then they called the girl I was on the phone with initially. THEN I got my situation fixed. One from the trio told me to hold on and went to the back. He came out with a makeup bag full of samples saying it was for the trouble caused and the time it took. I didn't mind the situation but this was a very awesome gesture, even more awesome when I opened the bag and there was NAIL POLISH!

Basically the situation was, I was supposed to get a refund of about $44 but instead it came out to $23. I really should pay attention to these things next time lol!

Anyway on to my bag of goodies.

First, I really like the makeup bag they provided. The size and quality is decent & the fishnet/floral design is nice. Also, I needed a bigger one! 

 Contents include:
2 miniature perfumes in - Juicy Couture: Couture La La & Dior - DiorAddict Eau Fraîche
Estee Lauder Advanced Time Zone Cream 
First Aid Beauty - Face Cleanser
Clinique - All About Eyes Serum
Dior Addict Lipstick in Dior Kiss
Dior Nail polish in Rouge Garçonne

A Close-up of the nail polish, a darkish wine red with a super hidden silver shimmer. Super hidden as in you need to stick it right up to your face under a light to see it hahaa! But it's still pretty!
