About the Muse

Isabella MuseIsabella is just an average everyday geeky girl who doesn’t blend her eyeshadow correctly, wears too much blush, and hopes she never finds her holy grail products because she likes the thrill of the chase so much. Her mission is to bring you super honest reviews on makeup, skincare, fragrance and all things beauty. She’s in no way an expert on the topic and she sure as hell isn’t a super model. But she’s passionate about makeup and is seeking like-minded individuals that like pina coladas, getting caught in the rain, and ones that enjoy spending hundreds of dollars at Sephora without feeling buyer’s remorse. If you’re that person feel free to reach out and leave a comment or follow me on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and Bloglovin‘.

    Hey, Muse! How was your Halloween??!! We didn’t have nearly the number of trick-or-treaters as last year. The Mister opened up the candy a week ago when I said he could have one and helped himself to about 12 or so (we give out full sized candy bars because CANDY!) and I was worried we wouldn’t have enough. We had Leftovers? Then we went to a neighbors house where I had too much raspberry vodka. (Only because it was served w real raspberries and I need the vitamins. 🙂

    Do you know if this is a one-time use? Or can I purchase in-store and online? I have two stores fairly close and each has stuff the other doesn’t. But there are also online- only things I’d like to pick up.

    • Isabella Muse

      Amazing thanks for asking! Simply amazing 🙂 LOL good excuse on the raspberry vodja, vitamins, yeah, that works 🙂 lol! You can use it in store and online no problems at all 🙂

    • Grace

      I just thought of something important Cookie—be sure to hang onto your Sephora card that you got in the mail with the discount if you plan on shopping more than once in store or at more than one store. Since it is multi-use and all the cashier shouldn’t take it from you but they might forget accidentally.

      • Cookie

        Thank you. I’d probably just let go of it without thinking. Firm grip. Got it! 🙂

  • Grace

    It is so frustrating though that they made the shopping period for Rouge shorter this year….but even worse (imo) that Rouge can’t shop the following weekend during the VIB sale. Using the discount I mean. It seems dumb on Sephora’s part to turn away the extra money. It worries me because something I want will inevitably be out of stock during the Rouge portion of the sale or I’ll just forget something. *SIGH*

    That being said, will you be doing a “sale recommendation post?” I always look forward to what you have to say! 🙂

    • Isabella Muse

      I think they wanted to lessen the hammer on the website maybe so they broke it down and hopefully keep the site up and running!? Maybe?! I will indeed! 🙂 and thank you I’m flattered Grace!

  • Grace

    That could be. It just baffles me that by doing this they are essentially turning away $$$$ in sales. It wouldn’t be such a big deal if they hadn’t cut the length of the sale but to cut the length of the sale AND not let us shop the next weekend…just sucks!!

    Oooh YAY!! Can’t wait for the recommendation post!! You always have the best ideas!

    Saw on Twitter that you were in NO. I love it there!

    • Isabella Muse

      I’m honestly just happy to have the 20% because last year was such a mess I was worried they wouldn’t do the sale this year so I’m trying not to complain too loudly 🙂 Aw thanks!!!!!!!!!! Flattered! Me too, one of my fav cities! It was a real whirlwind trip, I was there like 26 hours lol! Just went to see Marilyn Manson and back home!

    Happiness! However, even though I have VIB Rouge status currently I can’t help but feel it unfairness is happening to VIB members. By the time they can start shopping the sale items might be sold out and they don’t have as long to shop. But, beauty companies like Ulta and Beauty.com have 20% off sales and you don’t have to spend a lot of money to have been included in the sale. FYI Beauty.com is having their 20% off sale from 11/3 to 11/6 this year.

    • Grace

      Oooh thanks for the tip about Beauty. com! I wonder if the 20% off is good on UD?

  • Carolyn

    Thanks for the heads up!

    I want to shop online and in store as I won’t have the time to go in and swatch some lip colors. Do you know if the sale online starts at midnight EST and 9:00 PST on the 6th?

    • Isabella Muse

      I’m not sure Carolyn. I’d like to say Midnight EST but I really don’t know exactly. Last year, I THINK it started 3AM EST but I can’t recall exactly 🙂

      • Carolyn

        Thanks sweetie!

        I’m excited … I keep going back n forth on things… More things keep ending up in my likes! Eek. And pathetically all for me, no gifts !!

        :-p

        • Isabella Muse

          haha 😀 Enjoy Carolyn! You only live once, might as well treat yourself 🙂

          • Carolyn

            And after the past couple of weeks I have had at work… I think you’re right! hehe. Thanks Muse!!!

          • Isabella Muse

            amen sis! I had the same of it! The last few months at work have been busy and stressful! Time to shop! ha 🙂

  • Rachel R.

    It sucks that they shortened the buying period. Like you said, though, at least they’re still doing it. 🙂

    • Isabella Muse

      Sadly, nothing has been announced. I don’t believe BI get 20% off from my understanding Gaby or at least they didn’t last year.

      • Tracy

        From what I can remember, BI don’t get the 20%, unless they get a one time use code from a VIB or Rouge. But I just received my promo email, and there’s no code to share this year…

  • Christina D.

    I could be wrong but I think I remember that, last year, I was able to make purchases throughout the sale dates. In other words, I am VIB Rouge so I start earlier than VIBs, but I was still able to get the discount using the VIB code since, technically, I spend enough money to cover both categories.

    I guess we shall see. I’m planning on my purchases but I’m curious to hear your recommendations, if any, dear Sista.

    BTW Happy (Belated) Halloween!

    • Isabella Muse

      Happy Belated Christina 🙂 Hope you had a fun one. I remember making a few purchases with the code but can’t recall doing it after the dates so I’m not sure. We shall see if it works 😀 I def will do some rec posts. Last year I didn’t have a chance to do those but I sure hope to get ’em live this year!

    • Tracy

      Last year, VIBs started their sale 1 or 2 days after Rouge and ended at the same time. But this year, Sephora is really clear on 2 sets of separate dates, on 2 different weeks for VIB and Rouge. One will not be able to shop on the other time slots.

  • Liz

    I seriously need for this to hurry up and get here so I can order all the stuff I’ve been waiting to restock on. Do you know if the discount will be good on multiple orders or just one time use?

    • Isabella Muse

      I can’t confirm but last year I went back like three times with my code but you should try to get one good order in because the site gets jammed and you end up fighting to get the stuff you want plus stuff sells out fast. So plan ahead, pop things in your cart, and be ready to hit submit as soon as it goes live!

      • Liz

        Thanks, that’s great advice! It’s my first year as VIB and hopefully I will spend just enough to reach Rouge during this sale, on my own stuff and Christmas shopping!

        • Isabella Muse

          My pleasure! Last year was a real mess! People couldn’t get to the site, there was a waiting period where you had to get in a virtual line to get on the site, and things sold out quickly. So I always suggest just keeping your cart stocked up, plan ahead, and when the time comes CLICK submit right away 🙂

  • Tracy

    My card says in store and online on the 6th not the 5th. Did others get a different card?

  • kharanya

    Thanks for the heads up Muse. Looks like I’ll be shopping at beauty.com again this year.

  • Cass S

    I haven’t got my card! I called the VIB hotline and they said they would send it out and they don’t know why it didnt, but that an email would be going out, as well. Has anyone got an email notification yet?

    • Grace

      No email yet, just the card for me. I did, surprisingly get the catalog last night which is always neat.

    • Carolyn

      Hi, looks like my email came in today… I also received the card and a catalog (which I cursed because it makes me want to buy more stuff).

  • Carolyn

    Did anyone ever find out when the online sale starts? Wondering if I try at 9:00 tomorrow (PST) or midnight… set alarm?
