Exploring the online world of today’s beauty trends and taking a look at what products people are interested in and talking about most!
Do you ever feel like the VIB ROUGE gifts used to be better? Well I have been investigating by going through some of my old blog posts and Instagram posts and here are all the details. VIB ROUGE Membership used to be very different especially with the beauty rewards 250 point gifts. Anyways here’s what the 2015 gift was for me and the color was amazing, also I was able to order it in a full size. Beautiful, isn’t it?
Sephora Holiday Sets – IT COSMETICS IT’s Your Life-Changing Skincare Secret Unboxing
Get it here before it’s gone!!
One of my favorite skincare brands and two of my most used products right here. Seriously, you have to try the Confidence in a Cleanser! It’s incredible and the Miracle Water is my day time Essence/Toner. The IT COSMETICS- IT’s Your Life-Changing Skincare Secret truly has it all. I can’t wait to try larger version of the eye cream. I have used a few samples in the past and noticed instant results.
This set contains:
– 2 oz/ 60 mL Secret Sauce™ Clinically Advanced Miraculous Anti-Aging Moisturizer – 1.7 oz/ 50 mL Miracle Water 3-in-1 Micellar Cleanser Mini – 1.7 oz/ 50 mL Confidence in a Cleanser Skin-Transforming Hydrating Cleansing Serum Mini – 0.169 oz/ 5 mL Bye Bye Under Eye Eye Cream Smooths, Brightens, Depuffs Mini

Sephora Holy Sheet 2018 Unboxing
Sephora Collection’s Holy Sheet 2018 and is just time for the holiday season. That is if you can score a set online or at your local Sephora Store. It’s the perfect fit for your friend who loves to do a spa night at home. The set includes 19 items that vary from traditional sheet masks for your face to ones that can be used on your lips, feet, or hands.
I am personally a big fan of Sephora’s sheet masks and buy them often myself. Along with Dr. Jart, I think they are a great deal and deliver genuine results. The eye masks are always welcome in my collection of masks because of my atrocious sleeping habits. The set includes 3 and gives buyers a chance to try new masks or return to old favorites. Another bonus is the exfoliating wipes and the sleeping masks offer an additional way to indulge your skincare needs.
So there’s my short unboxing post for today. I am going to slowly return with these types of posts until the new year when I plan to do more reviews and related content. But until then, have a look a one of my favorite Sephora Holiday Gift sets for the 2018 season!!
There’s plenty more coming from what I picked up during the Sephora VIB Rouge Sale! There are several Sephora Favorites collections, some Drunk Elephant Sets, Dr. Jart, and more!

Sephora VIB + Rouge “Gifts” 2018 – What have I hauled in so far.
The Sephora Reward monthly “Gifts” for Beauty Insider customers of VIB and Rouge Status are actually just gifts with purchase items that are exclusively for VIB + Rouge. These mini gift sets generally require a minimum purchase of $35 to be redeemed. They are definitely nicer than what you would get as a normal “freebie” with a $25 purchase in the beauty rewards section but still, they are not actually free as they are advertised on Sephora. When you get to VIB or Rouge, you certainly do not get “free monthly gifts” as is listed for one of the VIB + Rouge perks. I generally like the rewards system that Sephora has and of course it’s better than nothing but the misleading advertising puts me off a bit. For the most part I have mixed feelings about Sephora’s Rouge Rewards program. I will write more about that a different day. For now let’s take a look at some of the VIB + Rouge gifts (with purchase) that I have turned in so far. So far I have 3 different gift sets and am going for fourth this week. They really are quite nice and worth sharing with people who are weighing what rewards programs are best for them. After this year, I probably won’t go for Rouge any more as it seems individual sellers are more generous with their samples, sales, and freebies.

The Sephora VIB Rouge 2018 welcome gift was a nice makeup brush by Sephora and although I appreciate it, nice is the best way to describe it. In my personal opinion the brush is a little underwhelming because there’s nothing unique about it. Previously they have had makeup gifts that were original colors and made for a unique “welcome to rouge” gift. The Marc Jacobs red lipstick from 2015 was my favorite one that they have done so far. Don’t get me wrong, it’s a good makeup brush, it’s just a bit boring compared to previous gifts.
$1000+ well spent, don’t you think? I am kidding, I am kidding. It’s a free gift so I should be happy with whatever they send me. Who doesn’t love a free makeup brush? (If you can’t tell, I am trying really hard to be nice about this…I don’t want to be ungrateful but it’s not nearly as nice as previous years.)
By the way I am setting it aside along with everything else I get for VIB Rouge so far this year. I am thinking it will make a good giveaway at the end of the year. What do you think?
