Beauty Inside Loyalty program is another promotion for Sephora. This member card is free for all customers and customers can get coupons, discounts and points after they spending the certain money at Sephora, for instance, customers can receive on free deluxe-size product after they spend $100 at Sephora. Customers also can update to the Very Important Beauty Inside card after the card reaching to $350 benchmark. I am the VIB member for Sephora and I can get every point from my each purchase.

I will take mascara as an example. If you choose Sephora collection mascara, it just cost $12; but if you choose YSL luxurious mascara, it costs $30, or you can choose some moderate price mascara like MAKE UP FOR EVER that costs
