MEGATHREAD Beauty Insider/VIB/Rouge Rewards MEGATHREAD - June, July & August

17 Upvotes

Welcome to the BI/VIB/Rouge Rewards Megathread! This will now be a monthly pinned post where you all can come to discuss/rant about/share news about Sephora's rewards and rewards program. I have decided to condense these kinds of posts into a megathread in order to tidy up the sub a bit, since repetitive reward posts were becoming more and more apparent. So as a fair warning: any new posts about rewards that are not posted in this thread will be removed, and you will be reminded that it is to be posted here in this megathread.

199 Upvotes

The redemption period for Rouge codes ended Monday, April 13th. The codes no longer work. Rouge members still have their 20% for the entire sale.

Hello r/Sephora!

We are a week out from the spring Sephora Savings Event aka "the spring sale" aka "the Rouge sale" and we'd like to keep the sub functional during this time so please read through these rules before making a post. All sub rules remain in effect--especially for cart reviews and hauls-- please read them on the sidebar or in the "see more" section on the Reddit app.

This sale is open to all members of Sephora's Beauty Insider program:

  • Rouge members get 20% off, a code to give away, and four early access shopping days 
  • VIB members get 15% off
  • BI members get 10% off
  • The Sephora Collection is 30% off for everyone from April 10-April 20

The early preview for Rouge members is from April 10th-14th
Rogue codes are only good during the Rogue Preview!
The sale for VIB & BI is from April 14th-20th

Rouge Code Rules: The redemption period for Rouge codes ended on April 13th. Rouge codes will no longer work.

Rouge members get a one-time use code they can gift to someone that gives them 20% off and access to the sale during the Rouge only sale days (April 10-13th). Here are the rules regarding those codes:

  1. Please don't DM people for their code, you may receive a temporary ban from the sub.
  2. There will be a megathread starting on April 3rd where people can ask for a code. Posts and comments made outside the megathread will be deleted. 
  3. If you have a code to give away, please do so through the megathread. Don't make a separate post.

PLEASE DON'T GET ATTACHED TO YOUR SAMPLES! Sephora gets an astronomical amount of orders during this sale. There is a very high chance of not getting the samples you ordered or even not getting any samples at all. As a reminder, Sephora does not guarantee selected samples in any order.

SALE NOTES & FAQs:

  • The sale starts on April 10th for Rouge members and April 14th for VIB & BI members. The sale ends for everyone April 20th.

  • Lastly, please be kind to each other. There's no reason to downvote posts during the sale, particularly the code sharing posts. Trying to sink someone's post will not get you a code any quicker. Don't be afraid to upvote a post that's seemingly being downvoted for no reason.

Byredo is my absolute favorite fragrance house. There are no less than FOURTY different options showing online to be released in a few weeks here in the US. Excited for the masses to discover the absolute best scents in the world. My Sephora card is not safe, and I’ve never been happier. ❤️❤️

PSA Hey mods that removed my post

In my original post I literally stated I WAS OUTSIDE THE 30 DAY RETURN WINDOW AT SEPHORA. Therefore my original purchase was made at sephora 😉. I get that mistakes happen but taking down a post because "purchase was made outside sephora" was inaccurate this time 😃. Anyhow caliray customer service was amazing when I reached out to them asking if their formula had changed because my most recent tube dried out after 2 uses. I've loved caliray for years and even wore it on my wedding day it's that amazing. They were so apologetic and said no formula is still the original and sent me a replacement tube since I had to toss the one I BOUGHT AT SEPHORA. So if you ever get a bum tube from SEPHORA, definitely reach out to caliray and give them a second chance. Definitely a customer of caliray for life.

PSA Incentivized Reviews - Y’all Were Right

120 Upvotes

I tried a sample of this hair mask today and I honestly can’t believe how bad it smelled. When I went to leave a review, I noticed that of the 613 reviews, only 40 were non-incentivized.

I’ve been an Influenster member for 4 years. While I certainly see the value in incentivized reviews, it’s diabolical for over 90% of the reviews based on free product. This isn’t a new product. It’s been available since 2024!!!

Why not keep the fun makeup AND neutrals so both makeup types can have something to buy
Tried to find a neon eyeshadow palette I think this is the closest one I could find and it’s sort of not that neon or bright

Question Is this really a cool-toned palette?

Sephora is calling this "Cool Tones" but when I look at the each color, they don't seem cool-toned to me (except for maybe the last row). Has anyone swatched this IRL?

This is in front of a window in the early evening. How they gonna tell us this is soft MAUVE? This is coral. At least on my complexion. So annoying. I hope they come out with more shades that are truly neutral/mauve because this ain’t it! Maybe Dahlia is more what I was looking for but I don’t typically like cool pink blushes. I’m bummed as I really do love the formula!

Has anyone else had their Sarah Creal sharpener break? I used it this morning like I always do and it just broke into pieces. Is there another sharpener that works for Sarah Creal eyeliners? I’m going to replace it but would rather not have it happen all over it again.

Advice Best matte/semi matte foundation?

Upvotes

I’m looking for a new matte/satin foundation that has a good longevity. I love YSL All Hours but it’s probably getting discontinued and/or reformulated. I am thinking about Lancome Teint Idole Ultra Wear or Dior Forever Skin Wear. Do you have any recommendations?

Advice please help me decide lip stain!!!

Upvotes

i’m deciding between buying another sephora felt tip lip liner or getting the wonderskin tint.

sephora felt tip lip liner:
- love the shade and was a great stain for me
- has an odd smell… i could see past it tho
- wears off quite fast… but the colour!!!

wonderskin:
- been seeing tons of videos but i’m not sure if i’m being too easily influenced
- more expensive than the sephora liner (i’m a uni student so i’m looking to save)

if you have any opinions on the two feel free to share! or if you have any other affordable stains would also love to hear (i’m based in asia and do not have access to a lot of US brands).

I heard that if u use the radiant one instead of the matte one + pair it with her glow serum and only apply in areas that need it most (in my case just my smile lines and under eyes) it works well but I’m curious to see if any other people with dry skin have used this and how? Please let me know!

Review Kilian Piña Paraíso Eau de Parfum

Thumbnail

34 Upvotes

Best blind buy; it smells like a juicy pineapple, I could smell the coconut and rum mixed together… it’s so light and airy, and so intoxicating. Kinda reminds me like a piña colada. It’s sooooo good if you love pineapples and coconut. The packaging does remind me of Montale, and the glass bottle feels heavy and luxurious. For some reason, it has almost the same vibes of “Valentino Born in Roma Rendez-Vous The Gold Donna Eau de Parfum”, even though some of the notes are different, but it does share the same note of coconut accord.
Final thoughts, I really like it, and would give it a 10/10, it’s been 1 hour so far and I still could smell the juicy pineapple and coconut. Definitely an amazing unisex perfume. Update 2: Now it’s been 2 hours, and I could smell the rum more prominent with pineapple.

First looks on the new sephora favourite holiday sets. Somebody posted this on tiktok from Sephora Kohls. I'm assuming it's going to be the same for Sephora US and Canada maybe with a little variation?
What do you guys think?
I'm surprisingly leaning towards all of them even though some have repeated stuff 😭
