I feel like I should have a portion of my paycheck directly deposited to Sephora. I shop there so much. I like the extra perks of the beauty insider. You get all sort of large samples for great products. Some of my favorite products were discovered that way. They also send you coupons, which they are normally stingy with. I have a few very pricey products that I use and I always wait for those large coupons to purchase them. I basically purchase 95% of my makeup, face products and hair products through Sephora.

I think it is worth it. I buy my staples there so the perks/discounts really help.

I'm VIB Rouge and I'm happy with it. There are times throughout the year when I get additional discounts (usually 20%), free shipping, free deluxe samples and if I ask for a sample of something to try before buying, they always give it to me.

With all of the insider levels you get a free Birthday gift (and it's a decent one), samples, and free gifts at certain point levels (100, 500, 1000, etc).

I am VIB and I think it's worth it! I don't feel like I'm spending extra money. I just buy my normal skin care products, mascara, eyeliner, compact, blush throughout the year and I always hit the minimum required.

I buy a lot of make up there (2-3 products every few weeks) and I really don't think its worth it! There's been maybe 2 samples that I've liked in the past 8 years?!

Tarte blushes are fantastic. Also, they just started carrying Becca cosmetics (at least in my store) and the highlighter and bronzer are amazing!

I love sephora and the whole vib program. I enjoy the samples, which have hooked me on a lot of products lately, and the coupons. More importantly though, they always have a ton of selection and pretty good stock of everything. I despise ulta bc other than the fact that everyone there seems miserable, they don't carry a lot of the brands that sephora does, and what they do have always has totally depleted inventory and what you need has a good chance of being out of stock. I hate ulta! There's one 5 mins from my house and I'll go there if I'm desperate and it's usually a wasted trip.

My sephora loves:
Diorshow mascara
DErmaDoctor DD Cream
Urban Decay shadows, liners, concealer
I also just got an UD kit with bronzer, highlighter, and blush that I LOVE.
Oh and Nars gloss.

Ulta doesn't carry Dior or Nars, which contributes to my annoyance with them lol.
