Sephora has officially become THE maven of the beauty retail industry, always at the forefront of latest trends, offering an unrivaled and often EXCLUSIVE selection of makeup, skin care, fragrance and more from both classic and premium brands and even offers their own skin care collection and makeup line. Sephora has not only transformed the way we do self care, but I’m convinced they were in fact the actual creators. Somehow, Sephora developed a platform of passion that has transferred to the women of the world.
I remember when Sephora first came to our local shopping mall; I am from a small town in South Louisiana so the most access we had to anything beauty related was drug store brands, the super Walmart, hair care stores like Sally’s Beauty Supply and whatever was carried at the Dillards and Macy’s. I didn’t have a huge interest at the time in investing in my makeup collection but I still wanted to maintain healthy, clear skin anyway I could. Sephora was and still is a great resource for me to experiment and learn what works best. I loved going through the trial sized items and getting samples of products to take home and try before buying. I still do this today. I actually think Sephora was the first retail outlet membership I signed up to receive points on purchases and birthday surprises which were great to be able to cash in on and test out new products.
If you haven’t already signed up as a Beauty Insider, you’re missing out. Its completely free and you earn points when you spend to later use to redeem for other great products. Simply submit your email address and fill out the profile and you’ll automatically become an Insider. As an “Insider” for every $1 spent, you’ll earn 1 point. If you manage to level up to the “VIB” membership, you can expect to earn 1.25 points on every dollar and 1.50 for every dollar spent if you’re an avid Sephora customer and make it to “Rouge” member status.
Sephora offers deal and sale events all throughout the year, but The Annual Sephora Spring Sale, one of their biggest events, is happening now. The sale is open to all members and requires a promo code which is typically shared on their site directly or sent to your email if you’re signed up to receive them. This year’s promo code is SPRINGSAVE. Depending on your status of membership, the sale will be rolled out with exclusive discount rates and available on specific dates:
Rouge Members – 20% off with code SPRINGSAVE; Begins 4/17 & Ends 5/1
VIB Members – 15% Off with code SPRINGSAVE; Begins 4/21 & Ends 4/29

If you’ve really been itching to upgrade your skin care, Makeup, Hair Care or Fragrance
options at home, now is the time to take advantage of this sale.
I’m taking full advantage of the sale to stack up on some of my most favorite brands in Makeup & especially Skincare. I have a few options on my list to try a new fragrance and also some hair care items.
These are my Sephora Spring Sale Picks and Recommendions:
Makeup
Fenty Beauty – I have a few of the Long wear Lip Paints in Uncensored & Unveil and planning to purchase in Unbuttoned & Uncuffed already but I also plan to add the Killawatt Foil Freestyle Highlighter in Ginger Binge & Moscow Mule & the Match Stix Matte Skinstick in Sinamon to the collection as well.
Tarte – Loving this Maracuja Hydrating Tinted Moisturizer by Tarte for Summer. It also comes in a Mini version Here.
Too Faced – If you’re in search of a new eyeshadow palette, the Love Your Peaches – Peaches and Cream collection has some pigmented colors. It comes in a set with a matte lip color and mascara and is a great deal compared to the palette alone Here.
