@Mellmars1185 in the past we have not been able to use the reward in conjunction with the discount 😣

[Mellmars1185]

@lmaster Thanks for the heads up!

@Mellmars1185 What a perfect time to use the $100 reward. I hope that it can work in conjunction with the 20% off sale in order to get the best bang for your buck 🙂

[SportyGirly125]

@QueenMarceline @Mellmars1185 you will not be able to use the $100 Rouge Reward during the sale. Your either use the $100 reward or you use the code for 20% but cannot combine both. 

[Mellmars1185]

@SportyGirly125 Thank you! This is good to know!

[Mellmars1185]

@QueenMarceline Thank you so much!!

I'm in a "new phase" where I've really been cutting back my purchases and focusing on things that I need vs. things that I want. I basically have a Sephora store inside my home and I'm trying to get through all the products I already invested in and only repurchasing things I use on the regular. That being said, I'm being extremely selective on what I will be purchasing this upcoming VIB sale. Compared to other sales where I would purchase back-ups of products I liked just because (rendering me with some products that have 3 or so back-ups... so unnecessary) or picking up things that "catch my eye" because: it's a sale! 

As of right now I will definitely be picking up (likely two quantities) of the Tatcha Silken Pore Perfecting Sunscreen Broad Spectrum SPF 35 PA+++ 2 oz/ 59 mL because I am on my last tube of it due to it's shortage in late 2021/very early 2022. This is a pricey product, that I use as both a sunscreen and primer, that I consider a must have product so the VIB sale is the right time to pick this up. 

I'll also probably grab my tried and true amika Fluxus Touchable Hairspray 8.2 oz/ 270 mL I've been styling my hair a lot and I love how this hair spray holds and how it smells on my hair. I can usually get away with skipping the next day of styling when I use a lot of this stuff on my hair (especially if I curl my hair). 

I'll also be picking up my lovely and long-time favorite Farmacy Green Clean Makeup Removing Cleansing Balm I have a back-up of this but I always pick one or two of these up at the VIB sales because I use this product anytime I have make-up on. 

I'm sure as the time gets closer to the sale, I'll pick up a couple more items that I will see are dwindling down around April time. 🙂 But for now, these are the in the "already in the basket" category.

I just added the cleansing balm to my cart! Never even saw it until you posted. Thanks!

@QueenMarceline I went through the exact same no buy phase these last couple of years as well, mainly due to never leaving my house 🙈 But in this last year I’ve moved, adopted a new lifestyle, made a career change, and rediscovered my love for all things beauty related. My buying habits are still permanently changed though - I definitely also used to buy things because I liked how they’d look in my collection - but now I’m buying things I know I’ll use, not just for the sake of buying it. 

Also - I love the Farmacy Green Clean too! Such a soothing way to start my nighttime routine. 

[QueenMarceline]

@alexasteph That's super inspiring to hear! I hope I can get to that point someday. 🙂 I'm trying to really stick to just buying the things I need this sale and hopefully in the next sale in November-I can grab a select few "wants". 

The Farmacy Green Clean is an absolute must, I used to use similar makeup removers but this one is my favorite. 

[alexasteph]

@QueenMarceline I’ve definitely treated myself to a few things! But it’s been a lot easier to only buy the items I have been able to use and not buying the things that will just sit there.

Nice @QueenMarceline - thanks for your thoughts on the hairspray - I’ve been looking for one to pick up! 

[SportyGirly125]

@Kim888 @Have you tried Living Proof Flex Shaping Hairspray ?

[Mellmars1185]

@SportyGirly125 I am a repeat buyer of this. It is a great product. The scent is also amazing! @Kim888 

[Kim888]

@SportyGirly125 @I haven’t - I’ve really only tried drug store ones and I’m ready for an upgrade ! 

[SportyGirly125]

@Kim888 I know someone else on here loves it too. It’s the best hairspray I have used that doesn’t leave my hair feeling crunchy when you brush through it.  There’s a smaller size travel bottle if you want to try it. 

[QueenMarceline]

@SportyGirly125 Oh wow, I haven't ever heard of that hairspray but it looks/sounds amazing. I'm an overall pretty big fan of living proof as well so I'm surprised I've never gotten to try this one out.

[SportyGirly125]

@QueenMarceline I have been using it for years and can’t find one better than that 

[QueenMarceline]

@SportyGirly125 Maybe I'll have to try this one out as well 👀... lol! 

[Kim888]

Thanks for the rec @SportyGirly125 ! I’ll add that to my loves !
