Sephora Shares | Tangent

This post may contain affiliate links; all opinions are my own. See Disclosures here

I’m really loving the free apps that Sephora Shares is offering! Similar to the Starbucks app, the Sephora app for iPhone offers free songs or applications. You can download the Sephora Shares freebees on your computer as well. Usually, I am not interested in the free apps since they don’t really meet a need I have, but I was excited to see Tangent offered! I’d looked at it before, and the $1.99 price tag was a turn off. But thanks again to Sephora Shares, it was FREE! YAY!

The Tangent app is a fun photo editing app that uses geometric overlays to create interesting pictures. Lots of free options for customization — also some in-app purchases available, but the “basic” version is very powerful. Sephora Shares is offering this app for free until June 15 (US only). So check it out if you’re interested; there are other apps and songs available as well!!

VIB Rouge – Special Surprise Gifts

This post may contain affiliate links; all opinions are my own. See Disclosures here

The top tier of Sephora’s Beauty Insider program is VIB Rouge. I recently became Rouge level with my haul from the VIB sale last month and have been excited for all the perks that come with Rouge status — invites to exclusive events, free shipping, free access to the beauty studio, and special surprise gifts.

I am very happy with the free shipping. I haven’t used the Beauty Studio at all (and don’t think I will) (have any of you used the Beauty Studio services?) but it’s nice that the option for a free makeover is available. I think it’d be fun to go to a VIB Rouge event, but I was really excited/curious about these “surprise gifts.”

I started researching online about what the gifts were & how frequently they were given, but no one seemed to have gotten anything. In fact, the VIB Rouge forum at sephora.com was full of girls who were upset about not yet receiving anything.

But I got an email today about getting $20 off your purchase of $50 or more that’s “exclusive” for VIB Rouge and VIB’s (thanks for the info sdbeautyjunkie and prettytrippy) whereas BI and VIB level will receive a $15 off $50 coupon. Check your email if you are a Beauty Insider — the coupon starts today and goes through December 16th.

“DEAR VIB ROUGE, THANK YOU FOR BEING ONE OF OUR BEST CLIENTS. BEAUTY ADDICTION LOOKS GOOD ON YOU. HAPPY HOLIDAYS, SEPHORA BEAUTY INSIDER TEAM”

What a cute little gift! I wasn’t expecting anything, so this was perfect. I actually really like the mirror and will carry it in my purse. It’s little things like this that make you feel extra special.

Sephora Haul | VIB Rouge

Sephora’s 20% off sale for VIB’s just ended. Being only $34 away from VIB Rouge, I decided it would be a good time to get a couple things I had my eye on, and tip my VIB status over to the next level.

muffinchanel sephora haul urban decay living proof, clarisonic vib rougeAfter a few recent hauls (HERE, HERE, and HERE), I was pretty set with everything I wanted. I did pick up a couple of items, got a free VIB tote and redeemed some of my Beauty Insider Points.

Clarisonic Brush Head Replacement – Sensitive





muffinchanel sephora haul urban decay living proof, clarisonic vib rougeI use the “Normal” brush head now on my Clarisonic Mia, which is nice, but I wanted to try a softer brush.

Living Proof Restore Repairing & Damage Reversing Travel Kit

muffinchanel sephora haul urban decay living proof, clarisonic vib rougeI’ve been looking for a new shampoo/conditioner since Garnier Fructis changed the formula on the Triple Nutrition line. :/ My hair isn’t damaged necessarily, but it will feel dry and frizzy, especially in the winter.

Urban Decay Essentials – 500 Point Perkmuffinchanel sephora haul urban decay living proof, clarisonic vib rouge

  • b6 Vitamin-Infused Complexion Prep Spray (0.5 oz)
  • All Nighter Makeup Setting Spray (0.5 oz)
  • Eyeshadow Primer Potion Anti-Aging (0.13 oz)
  • Eyeshadow Deluxe Sample in Mushroom (0.03 oz)

This perk seemed really nice. A deluxe sample shadow, eyeshadow primer and two mini facial prepping/setting sprays. I’ve never used the Urban Decay facial sprays, but they seem like a cool idea. And for free 500 points, it’s a nice way to try out a new product.

And *Drumroll*, the VIB Rouge Welcome Kit!





photo 3So exciting! It came with a mini lipstick designed by Bite exclusively for VIB Rouge members. I now get free shipping on all orders, free makeovers anytime, special surprise gifts, and invites to exclusive rouge events. Yay!

Check out my first VIB Rouge perk!!!

Sephora Shares | A Beautiful Mess

This post may contain affiliate links; all opinions are my own. See Disclosures here

Sephora’s Instagram posted yesterday that, courtesy of SephoraShares, you can download A Beautiful Mess for free. This app cost $.99 through the iTunes App Store, but it’s free if you go through sephora.com/sephorashares. Yay!

I had wanted to download this girly photo editing app before this free download, but the numerous reviews about all “the good fonts and effects” only being available through in-app purchases and the initial $.99 price seemed like a waste. I’m glad I got it for free through Sephora though. The app has enough cool fonts and doodles to make your pictures more fun.

It was super easy to download onto my phone

Starbucks has a similar program through their iPhone app; you can download a free song of the  week and sometimes, a free app as well. Definitely a cool way to discover new music/apps!
