My Favorite Makeup: The VIB Sale

Can we talk about the complexities of makeup for a second? There’s your matte finish, your dewy finish, contouring vs strobing, natural, baking… the list goes on! And that’s not even getting into skincare (hello, glass skincare routines??). I’m sitting here watching Mean Girls circa 2004 and having flashbacks about the heavy black eyeliner and pink eyeshadow I wore throughout high school. The simple days when the free gift my mom got with her foundation purchase was more than enough (don’t get me wrong, I still love a free makeup gift with my Clinique). Things certainly have changed and makeup has quickly evolved, but it’s done so in such a good way. The problem is sometimes the sheer overwhelmingness of what to buy when there are so many great products to try out, that’s why I’m telling you about some of my favorite products today.

This is the first year I’ve qualified for the VIB perks with Sephora, however I’ve always been signed up for the Beauty Insider. This is Sephora’s rewards program where all you have to do is sign up then to earn points through your purchases. You get gifts with your points accumulated, plus access to sales like this one going on now. If you spend over $350 in a year you qualify for VIB and get more perks (like a free makeover and extra savings), like the 20% off going on right now, if you’re signed up for the Beauty Insider but not VIB you still get %15 off! phew. The sale goes through November 15th, so it’s a great time to fill your makeup bags because these brands seldom go on sale. I picked out my favorite products I’ve used this year to help narrow down the choices for you.
