Alternatively, I can slowly empty my point bank by exchanging my points for these 100-points deluxe samples. Once again, I have no particular interest in any of these. I might pick up the Bella Bamba, but I have way too many blushers as it is. Perhaps I should give up my ridiculously unused makeup collection so can I gain some interest in what's out there.
Has anyone gotten a really good Sephora Beauty Insider deal? I know that once in a while, they offer something ridiculously popular and everyone claims the reward immediately. I never seem to be there in time for those great offers. Let me know what you think. What reward would you claim?
I cashed mine in around the beginning of Dec 2011, I got a full size benefit dandelion blusher, Mini bad gal mascara in black and a mini that gal primer.. Not too bad.. I'm almost at the 500 point mark again, I think I'm going to hold out for awhile til something I can get some use out of pops up again... If nothing pops up you like, cash them in for stuff you've never tried before! =)
ReplyDeleteThanks Steph. :) You're right, I should definitely use this as an opportunity to try and perhaps review new products for Handmade Reviews. Good luck with your points and hope you get something you really love!
Delete"I feel like Sephora is just going to throw whatever junk they can't sell at me."
ReplyDelete--> I'd be afraid of the same.
I'm lucky because I don't have all that much makeup; yet last night I declared to my honey that I don't need anymore. So, I understand where you're coming from with not wanting to accumulate stuff you don't need.
The All Day Makeup Set looks quite nice. I like how its got a little of everything and is packaged with a makeup bag. Now, I'm with you if you're thinking: "Who needs *another* makeup bag?!" -- but I'm getting to the point. :) This kit looks to be a fabulous pick-me-up present for a friend / loved one. You might even think of donating it to a women's shelter! Imagine the look on the recipient's face! Wouldn't that be a fabulous way to spend your points?
That's a really great idea. I don't have any women shelters near me, but perhaps I could send it off. I could also let a friend pick the prize to keep or give to readers. These are all really great ideas!
DeleteI fortunately used my points for 100 point samples that were gone very quickly and way too good like 1 oz clinique moisture surge and 12 oz of purity cleanser.
ReplyDeleteI definitely agree that 500 point rewards have been very blah. It's reward for 500 dollar worth of purchase.
Yes, somethings I think I would rather just get five 100 point items rather than one 500 point item. It really shouldn't be that way.
DeleteI just claimed my 100 point perks last night... I chose the Bella Bamba Blush... uhm, now that i think about it.. do they give you full size or is it just a sample size that's not enough for one cheek?
ReplyDeleteThe 100-point prizes are usually deluxe sizes so yours will definitely be enough for a few applications at least!
Deletefor someone who have just started getting into makeup and haven't tried som brands those are quite good options but for someone who have tons of makeup nuhh
ReplyDeleteHaha yes, I agree!
DeleteHello! I know this is kinda off topic but I'd figured I'd ask.
