Since I am lucky enough to live in Chicago, I was able to join Sephora's Beauty Insider program when it was still in beta form. Let me just tell you, it is the greatest shopping rewards program ever! I don't know how I survived without this program! For every $100 you spend at Sephora, you get a free deluxe sample. On you birthday (well actually starting 14 days before your birthday and up until 14 days after) you get a free gift. How smart is Sephora to give you a month to claim it? I mean, I love Sephora, but generally I have other plans on my b-day and don't really have time to run over there...even for a free gift!!! There are also tons of specials, free gifts, and Beauty Insiders only promotions. In April, Sephora was giving away a cute swiss army knife like beauty gadget with any purchase. This month, I got the coolest Tarte Cosmetics palette that had 8 eye shadows, 3 mini duel ended lip glosses, and an eye liner in a sassy little clutch for the oh my god rate of $40!!! Look online and you'll find that an 8 eye shadow palette generally costs $42, but Beauty Insiders were able to get so much more for only $40!!! There are also tons of extra perks online for Beauty Insiders. There are special how to sections, ask a question sections, an order history section, and so much more. Oh!!! And how can I almost forget that the Beauty Insider card is so stylish that it even has a mirror on the back!!! What woman does not need an extra mirror on her?!?! So if you haven't signed up for Sephora's Beauty Insider program RUN and do it now!!!
