Being VIB (Very Important Beauty) Rouge status in the Sephora Beauty Insider program has it’s perks. Some of the reviews I’ve read online on various makeup forums and beauty blogs say that the only benefit is the free shipping. I disagree with this on so many levels, but I wanted to share how the free shipping is amazeballs! Not only can you buy one item, any item and get the standard three free samples, but you don’t have to spend $50 for free shipping.

Why is that such a big deal? I get emails that are exclusively for Beauty Insiders. This happens quite often as I also get emails for VIB only and occasionally for VIB Rouge only. I don’t always take advantage of these deals but one was for three free luxury deluxe samples with a purchase of $35. I was torn because I didn’t want to spend any money, but I had a few things I needed (OK, maybe just really wanted) so I got them and the deluxe samples without having to torment myself by debate between paying for shipping or spending another $15 just to qualify for free shipping. Again AMAZEBALLS!

Do you shop at Sephora? What are your thoughts on their BI program? Where do you prefer to buy your beauty products?
