As a confessed beauty addict I constantly find myself with a drawer full of makeup and "life necessities". That's why when I find out there's programs that help you save well, needless to say, I'm there. My two favorite beauty stores offer two very different programs which I'm going to talk about in length here. So if you are like me and looking for a steal, you came to the right place.
Sephora's Beauty Insider Program:
Cost - Admission to this program is absolutely free! This is only for the basic program however, the V.I.B. section is a little different. You have to be at least 13 to join.
Perks:
Free birthday gift on every birthday and its always new.
100 point perk. You get 1 point for every dollar you spend which, when you get to 100, you can redeem for a sample of one of their products.
500 point perk. The same as the 100 point perk except when you redeem 500 points you get what they call a deluxe or regular size item.
You can buy limited-edition, beauty insider only products. There are new ones every month.
If you subscribe to their email list you can get free gifts, special offers, first looks at upcoming products and more.
They sell everything from their own line of products to designer brands. The prices for most of their products in the store are kind of steep though.
V.I.B (Very Important Beauty Insider):
Cost - The one disadvantage to this next level of the Beauty Insider account is that you have to spend $350 in one calendar year before they'll upgrade you.
Perks:
10% Welcome offer
Exclusive gifts throughout the year
Invitations to special events
Early access to not-yet-launched products and more.
Ulta's Ultamate Rewards Program:
Cost - Ulta has three rewards programs which are totally different, two of which are free! You have to be at least 18 to join (I know this sucks).
Perks:
Earn 4 points per $1 you spend.
Valuable coupons throughout the year.
Special offers for Ultamate rewards members only.
They sell not only their own line of products but a couple of designer labels and a lot of drug store products.
The Club at Ulta Rewards:
Perks: There are six levels, varying differently by how much you spend. The lowest is $50 and with it you can get a wide variety of different rewards.
Platinum Level:
Perks: Sadly this section of the website isn't working but I do know that you have to spend $300 to qualify.
As you can see these are two very different rewards programs, all coming with their own set of pros and cons. I'll leave it up to you to decide what is the best one for you.
Stay Fabulous,
Disastrous Beauty
