Sephora VIB Sale 2017 | What’s in my Basket.

I remember those days when the Sephora homepage was basically my most-visited site on the internet – it was by default, the first thing I checked in the morning and the last thing I looked at before I went to bed. To think of how much I spent in the last few years around this time still makes me shudder. The Sephora VIB sale only comes twice a year so it is the time that I stock up with some of my favourite products and drop some real hard cash!

With the holiday season almost upon us, I can’t wait to test out a few new products and get my hands on some value sets I’ve been good about not buying this year! So far I’ve spent $80 at Sephora so I’m hoping this holiday season will be a disciplined one for me…

With the sale just a few days away, I thought I’d share what my list looks like this year! I can’t wait to see yours! For those who haven’t received an email or notification about the sale, here are a few key dates to keep in mind:

1. VIB Rouge: 20% off; early access is on Nov 3-6 and Rouge can join the sale between Nov 10-15 (Code: 20FORROUGE)
2. VIB: 20% off; Nov 10-15 (Code: 20FORVIB)
3. Beauty Insiders: 15% off; Nov 10-15 (Code: 15FORBI)

Happy shopping!

Since I’m sure you’re all putting together your own wishlist for the upcoming Sephora sale, I thought I’d share with you what I’m shopping for this year! Here are a few pieces that I plan on buying this holiday season, split up between stocking up on a few old favourites, holiday value sets that are just out, as well as splurging on a few new bits and pieces of products!

In case you are looking for more inspiration for your upcoming trips, here are some of my previous wishlists:

• Sephora 2017 VIB Sale Wishlist.
• Sephora 2016 VIB Sale | What to Add to Your Shopping List.
• Sephora 2016 VIB Rouge Shopping List.
• What’s in my Sephora Basket | VIB Rouge Sale Edition.

This year I plan on shopping for a lot of my friends and family from the sale. I spotted a lot of really fantastic value-packed, money-saving sets. You know that my favourite things to do with these sets is often to break them up, and create a “custom” gift basket catered to the preferences and needs of each individual! You’ll see a number of my favourite products in value sets so you’ll know I’ll be shopping for a bunch of them!
