It’s almost sale time at Sephora which, if you’re like me, is the only time to shop! Participants in the Sephora Beauty Insider program can get up to 20% off depending on their tier. If you are thinking about making a purchase, the Sephora Holiday Sale is a great time.
Beauty Insider Program
The Beauty Insider Program is Sephora’s free loyalty program. You earn points for purchases that you can then redeem for rewards. It’s easy to sign up — just a name, email, and birthdate.
Anyone who is enrolled in the Beauty Insider Program will get a discount during the Sephora Holiday Sale, and the higher tiers get a greater discount.
Beauty Insider Tiers
There are three tiers of Beauty Insider based on how much you spend in a year, and slightly better perks at the higher tiers.
- Insider = free/entry level
- VIB = spend $350+
- VIB Rouge = spend $1,000+
Here’s a comparison on the benefits at each tier:

Exclusions + Limitations

And if you were lucky enough to snag a $100 Rouge Reward, you unfortunately won’t be able to use it or any Beauty Insider Cash during this sale :/ But you can use code FREESHIP if you need free shipping.
