I'm back--super exhausted from everything but an entry is long overdue so I decided to do a quick one.
So we've all been experiencing the effects of "the bad economy" and I know that I've been doing what I can to save money. Well the best way to save money these days is to get free stuff no?
The beauty department things can get expensive especially if you are a girl.
I've recently been reaping the benefits of the Sephora Beauty Insider program.
It's like bonus rewards card and for buying stuff--of course everything in Sephora is very expensive, but you get points for buying stuff and the points accumulate pretty quickly even if you only go in there once in a while. I accumulate points by buying things like my facial regiment (face wash/moisturizer and etc), my make up basics (Bare Escentuals--yes they sell it at Sephora!), and then my guilty pleasures such as extra make up (eyeshadows, glosses, lipstick, etc.) and tools too. I also buy all my perfume and all my BF's stuff there too! (Yes Sephora is for both guys AND girls)
So here's how it works--you go into the store and apply for the Beauty Insider card/program which is totally free. They give you an actual card and you scan it everytime you make a purchase.
"How to score points: With every dollar you spend at Sephora, one point is added to your Beauty Bank balance. You can redeem your points for beauty-ful perks."
They have 100 point perks which are samples of cool things from the store, and then they have 500 point perks which are full sized things from the store or bags full of goodies ranging from make up all the way to skin care. And on your birthday--Sephora will give you a complementary "get gorgeous" gift for all beauty insiders.
They also send you awesome deals through emails--and all of the point perks you redeem are things that you can definitely use and keep in your make up caboodle.
