The most wonderful time of the year is upon us - time for the Fall Sephora VIB Sale! Every year after all the holiday sets are released and everyone is lusting after all the pretty new things, Sephora email/mails out 20% promo codes to VIB and Rouge Members. Rouge members can start using their promo codes today, Friday, November 4th through Monday, November 7th and VIBs can jump in and use their code starting Friday, November 11th through Monday, November 14th.

This is the perfect time to stock up on things that you always repurchase, purchase things that you've been lusting after, and pick up some holiday gifts for your loved ones. Personally, I'm filling my shopping cart up with pretty things that I'm lusting after. I stocked up on a few things last year and I felt that a one or two items sat too long when I pulled them out this year. Specifically my last tube of Tarte's Lights, Camera, Splashes was a little too dry when I opened it up about a month ago... so keep that in mind when you're filling up your cart. But, whatever reasons that you're using to justify purchases don't forget to use ebates because they are offering 4% back for Sephora starting today! Let's get into what I've thrown into my cart in anticipation of this sale!
My first memories of makeup are watching my three aunts pull out their caddies full of Clinique's green marbleized packages of face powders, eyeshadows, and lipstick and fight over the bathroom mirror in my Grandparent's old house. Naturally, I gravitated towards Clinique when I was old enough to wear makeup and then year after year I hit all of Clinique's Bonus Time events to stock up. It took me a while to branch out to other brands and I've gradually started wearing less and less of Clinique in favor of other brands. I still have a certain fondness for the brand, though. The Clinique Very Honey Holiday Eye Palette is the limited edition palette for Sephora this year and consists of 13 coordinating shades in berry, rose, and pink tones along with three travel sized brushes that fit into the palette. The palette sells for $32.50.
I was debating picking up a Nars Velvet Lip Glide and saw a swatch of the NARS Sarah Moon Blush in Isadora while I was browsing around and I immediately added it to my cart. It was love at first sight. This shade is limited edition with the rest the Sarah Moon collection and is described as a lavender pink. It appears to have a fine gold sheen also. I really don't feel like I have anything else like this. This blush sells for $30 and is the same size as regular full-sized Nars blush pans.
Yes, I am still drooling over the Maison Margiela REPLICA Discovery Set For Her - $65. It needs to be purchased - stat!
The NARS Mind Game Velvet Lip Glide Set - $45 - is too cute to ignore. The Velvet Lip Glide is a new formula that promises to be a lipstick hybrid in a semi-matte, long-lasting finish and comfortable wear. I'm dying to try out the formula and this little set of six - including three limited-edition shades unique to the kit - is just the way to do it.
Here's my ultimate dream item to haul - Dyson Supersonic Hair Dryer - $399. I have been lemming over this hair dryer since I read about it probably about six months ago. My desire to have this has only increased since it was released and the reviews have been glowing. The price for this baby is so steep that if I could justify the new tool I would definitely use it while I have the 20% off.
