Sephora: VIB $20 off $50 Purchase At the end of the year, in early December, Sephora Beauty Insiders, VIB's, and Rouge members all get coupons. They range from $15 off (BI), $20 off (VIB), or $25 off (Rouge) of a $50 purchase. I eagerly await this coupon, as high end makeup discounts can be rare. I originally had desired to use this on the Urban Decay Naked 3 pallet, but my face told me to be nice and get new skin care instead. I am at the age where I should be vigilant about my skin care routine, but the pretty colors so easily distract me.... So. In a concerted effort to avoid looking like Alastor Moody, I walked past the Urban Decay Naked 3 pallet in all its rosy glory with my head in the air and only one eye cut in its direction, right to the clearance rack to scour the skin care goods. I found this Dr. Dennis Gross Brightening Solution that pinky swears to reduce my wrinkles and uneven skin-tone from too many days basking in the Anna Maria Island sunshine. It was normally $88, on sale for $40. I still would not have paid $40, if it weren't for my coupon and $20 gift card. I have been using this for a week now and I do like it. I feel like the pads help exfoliate the skin while the serum is refreshing. I cannot attest to lessening wrinkles or spotting but I can say it isn't hurting. I will keep on and report back after a few more weeks. Deal? I had to spend $10 more I so picked up this Soap and Glory Great Kisser lip balm in peppermint. I was pleasantly surprised to discover it has a plush cushiony feel. It makes my lips shine with a wee bit of sparkle and has a light minty scent and even lighter tingle. I keep this in my car for dry lip emergencies.

Did you score anything with your Sephora coupon? Does your money gravitate towards makeup or skin care? Have you tried expensive serums or doodads?
