Sephora Beauty Insider Appreciation Event Now Through 9/17 (Tips, Freebie Codes and Ideas)

Affiliate Links

Just a quick reminder that today's the day! The Sephora Beauty Insider Appreciation Event has begun! Now through 9/17, receive the following multipliers on ALL PURCHASES in-store and online at Sephora (also in-store at Sephora Inside JCPenney locations), no code required:

• Beauty Insider - 2x points
• VIB - 3x points
• Rouge - 4x points

Bonus points will be automatically credited to your Beauty Insider Account the same day of purchase. Points not earned on sales tax, shipping, Sephora gift cards, eGift cards and prior purchases.

PLEASE NOTE: this event is not to be confused with the semi-annual VIB sale event that occurs each spring and fall. The fall VIB sale usually happens around the first week of November, and during that time Rouge members should receive 20% off all purchases for the first four days of the event, and then VIB members should receive their 20% off for the last four days of the event. Historically, this 20% off applies to all purchases and the code can be used as many times as you wish during your specific days. I'll keep you posted when I get more info.

IDEAS:

• Obviously, start with the sale page HERE. Because there's nothing like saving on beauty AND earning extra points at the same time.

• Another way to save and earn? The Sephora Favorites sets HERE and all value sets HERE (that link is sorted from lowest to highest).

• And here are some new-to-Sephora brands and products (just in case you haven't heard):
• IT Cosmetics is now online HERE 
• Natasha Denona is now online HERE 
• Moroccanoil is now online HERE
• First Aid Beauty Winter Skin Savers Set is now online HERE
• Becca Rose Quarts is now online HERE (thanks to reader Sasha C. for the tip!)
• Pat McGrath Lipstick and Kits are now online HERE (thanks to reader Christine L. for the tip!)
• Marc Jacobs Collector's Edition items now online HERE
• And of course if you're Rouge, I probably don't have to tell you that you have early access to the Holiday 2017 products that are on THIS PAGE.
• On a personal note, I think I'm FINALLY going to get that darn It's Skin Cookie & Body Cream I've been wanting for so long! 

And just a reminder (because you know I always have to say this in my Sephora posts), if you don't already have free shipping due to VIB Rouge status, you should really consider signing up for Sephora Flash if you don't already have it. For $10 a year, you get free unlimited 2-day shipping on all orders. It pays for itself after just two orders. Plus, your subscription starts the moment you add it to your cart, meaning that anything else you buy will ship free. With the Beauty Insider Appreciation event and the holidays coming up, this service can REALLY help if you're placing multiple orders.
