For those of you who are as makeup and skincare crazy as I am, the anxiously awaited for VIB Rouge sale is coming THIS WEEK to Sephora and I am sharing the Top 10 Sephora Rouge Sale Must Haves.
Sephora did it a bit different this year, by doing round 1 of 20% off last week. Round 2 is November 10th through November 15th. This is the best time to buy gifts for the holidays and stock up on your faves! Personally, this is the time I test new products, as well.
Being that this sale only happens once a year, and it’s on the entire Sephora store, I wanted to give my recommendations of the best products to splurge on.
For those of you who are not yet Rouge members, there are so many benefits! You have to spend $1000 annually to qualify, but each year you get a new gift for being a Rouge member, plus amazing benefits and freebies.
Rouge Benefits:
Birthday Gift
Rewards Bazaar (my fave!)
Access to Beauty Insider Community
Free Beauty Classes
Monthly Gifts
Free Custom Makeovers
Flash 2-day shipping on all orders
Private Hotline
Invite to Exclusive Events (which are usually amazing)
Needless to say, there are some great benefits and others that I never take advantage of.
Top 10 Sephora Rouge Sale Must Haves
1. Tarte – Amazonian Clay 12-hour Highlighter (buy HERE)
$29 ($23.30 with 20% off)
This long lasting, vibrant highlighter is amazing. The color is beautiful and wears very well.
2. Benefit Cosmetics – Hoola Bronzer (HERE)
$29 ($23.30 with 20% off)
This is my go to bronzer. I am constantly reaching for my Hoola Bronzer! If you haven’t used this bronzer, you MUST buy this. Travel size is available for $15 ($12 with the discount).
3. Buxom – Purrfectly Plump™ Plumping 6-Piece Mini Lip Collection (HERE)
$32 ($25.60 with 20% off)
I am obsessed with Buxom Plumping Lip Glosses. Upon application, the product feels cool on your lips. It’s soothing and soft, while gives the appearance of a more full lip (goes well with my blog post on how to make your lips appear bigger!). This is the perfect way to test several colors, without over spending. One of their full size glosses is $20, making this is a steal! It’s in my cart for 11/10 Rouge Sale.
4. NARS – Orgasm Blush (HERE)
$30 ($24 with 20% off)
This was voted best blush year over year. The color is natural and beautiful. My go-to for the past 10 years! Honestly, this was the first blush I ever purchased and I’ve run out of this several times. A must have!
5. L’Occitane Shea Nail And Cuticle Oil (HERE)
$20 ($16 with 20% off)
A girlfriend purchased this for me recently, and I use it every single day. It soaks in perfectly, and the applicator is a really soft brush. Fits in your purse or sits on your desk (like mine). By far one of the best gifts I have ever received!
6. Drybar – Detox Dry Shampoo (HERE)
$13 (small travel size discount only $10.40) $23 (large size, 20% discount $18.40)
The smell of this dry shampoo is addicting! The product has a natural smell, and is colorless. It refreshes your hair perfectly. I don’t love the travel size. It was gone in one trip for me. Just get the big one!
7. Clinique – High Impact Extreme Volume Mascara (HERE)
$21 ($16.80 with 20% off)
I can’t live without this mascara! I was gifted it a couple years ago, and fell in love! The product is light weight, yet volumizes your lashes flawlessly. Buy this!
8. Christian Dior – Diorskin Forever Perfect Foundation Broad Spectrum (HERE)
$50 ($40 with 20% off)
This is the best time to splurge on fancy foundation! You can save $10 on this amazing foundation. For oily or sensitive skin, this foundation is perfect for you. It has medium coverage and sets quickly.
9. Estée Lauder – Double Wear Stay-In-Place Flawless Wear Concealer (HERE)
$28 (only $22.40 with 20% off)
A little bit of this goes a long way! Great product and perfect time to test it out. Hides my dark circles and brightens up my face. I love it!
10. Laura Mercier – Translucent Loose Setting Powder (HERE)
$38 ($30.40 with 20% off)
Laura Mercier’s Loose Setting Powder is the best I have ever tried! It’s light weight and perfectly sets concealer and foundation. This powder complements the Estée lauder Concealer (#9) and brightens your under eye.
Conclusion
This is the best time to buy gifts and holiday products from Sephora! I hope this guide helps you decide what products to purchase during the VIB Rouge Sale. Even if you are not rouge, these are my favorite products and they are worth a test, as well as gifts.
I can’t wait to hear what you purchase!
