Sephora's Beauty Insider Extraordinary MEGA Rewards 2015: 1000, 2000, 5000, and 10000 Point Perks!


I know I was not the only person waiting up all night to see what the Sephora Beauty Insider Mega Rewards were or if they would even become available today! Luckily, I was forced to pull an all-nighter to study for a final exam, that was also inconveniently scheduled today, but at least I was already up and wide awake!

It was a total hit-or-miss game of when the rewards would come out, and IF they would even be released today. After some investigation and a lot of speculation with my fellow VIB Rouge members on the BeautyTalk Sephora page, everyone had assumed that the rewards would be released on May 5th, at either 12PM PST or 12AM PST. For me, that meant waiting until 3AM since I lived on the east coast!


SO I WAITED... and it was totally worth it. No, they weren't released at 12AM, but it was slowly released at 1AM PST (4AM for me) and it was honestly the most nerve-wrecking, stressful, and adrenaline-filled shopping trip I had EVER done.

I wasn't able to get the Naked Vault like I wanted because it was gone in a heartbeat and was never available for me, but I was quick enough to snag the Kat Von D 1000 Point Perk and the Laura Mercier 1000 Point Perk so YAY!

I, along with many other Sephora fans, are super disappointed in how the mega rewards were released! There was no email of notice before hand, so 1. we didn't know what time they would be released or what day and 2. we didn't even know what was up for grabs! I really want to thank the kind (and obsessed, like me) beauty insiders who did such good investigating because we guessed correctly and I couldn't have snagged these rewards without you lovely people!


Let me know what perks you were able to grab or what perks you wanted!

  1. How do I get my hands on these? Are they available at checkout? Do I have to do something to qualify for mega rewards? (I have over 2000 points)

    1. These perks are no longer available, sorry! They released them on May 5th and it sold out within a few minutes (and some in a few seconds). They were available at checkout just like all the other perks are and no there's nothing special you have to do to qualify. However, I heard that there will be another round of mega rewards sometime later this summer, so hopefully that will happen! :)

  2. Hi there, just wondering how to find out about this beforehand - I didn't hear about the last round at all! Thanks :)

    1. Hi Angela! I found out about it through an email they sent out. It was like a week before the event happened and it was at the very bottom of the email that linked to information saying to stay tuned within the upcoming week. Also, there was a forum on Sephora's BeautyTalk where a few thought that it would happen sometime May 5th (a week from when they sent that email)! It was more of a guessing game really, but hopefully the next one is planned out better.
