Sephora VIB Exclusive Promotions 2018
See the 2019 VIB Exclusive Promotions, and all 2019 Sephora Promotions, Sales, GWP, Deals, Promo Codes, and Events.
Sephora VIB members spend at least $350 a year to maintain their status. What do they get for this reward level? VIB exclusive promotions are available to all VIB and VIB Rouge members. Anytime I see a VIB exclusive promotion in 2018, I will add it to this article. My goal is to keep a listing of all promotions available. This article will cover promo codes as well as any offer available to members at this level. Rouge members have all the benefits VIB members get so Rouge members can take advantage of these offers. Offers are only listed in the article where all members at that level can redeem them. It means there are offers in the Beauty Insider promotions article not listed here that VIB members can redeem. If you are a Rouge member reading this article, there are offers in the Rouge article that are only available to Rouge members.
VIB members do get an extra $5 over Beauty Insiders in their Christmas gift (purchase required). They get a promo code for $20 off a $50 purchase. Prior to 2017, it was a gift card so the attached article will not reflect that. VIB members get 15% off in the spring sale, and BI members only get 10% off. They also get 20% off in the fall sale, and BI members only get 15% off. Prior to 2017, Beauty Insiders did not get a discount in from the fall sale. There are definite perks that are not advertised.
Sephora used to send an email with three coupons when someone reached VIB status. I am not allowed to list the coupon codes (as an affiliate Sephora forbids me from doing this), but they are one time use coupons for: free shipping on any purchase, a 10% discount on anything but gift cards, and a free makeover without a minimum product purchase. If you reached VIB status and did not receive your coupons, you can contact customer service. The codes are the same each year so write them down once you get them and save them for the future.
The only other advertised perk of this level is free gifts. I dedicated and entire article to discuss this fallacy, because they do not exist. A GWP is not a gift. To save you a click, I can say that the VIB promo codes are what Sephora likely means when it advertises free gifts. Beauty Insiders cannot redeem VIB promo codes so they are free (with purchase) gifts only VIB and Rouge members can redeem. Sephora does seem to offer over a dozen VIB exclusive promo codes a year.
Most VIB promo codes have a $35 purchase minimum, but I will specify the minimum for each code. Almost every VIB code is one-time use, but it never hurts to test it for a subsequent purchase. All promo codes are online only unless specified below. I will remove expired offers (as I find them) from my Sephora Deals Page (where I list all active codes I am aware of). Every promo code gets listed in reverse chronological order, but they do not always expire in order of release. Better promos will run out of stock faster. Anything I redeem will get mentioned in a separate article. When I mention a promotion code in another article, I will link the article next to the offer below.
Sample Bags have an article of their own. They are standout offers so I will list any available to VIB members here. If you choose to view that article, just remember that I specify which bags are available to VIB members. Point Multipliers have an article of their own. That article will specify when other rewards levels get a higher multiplier.

It is also the first time all year we jumped ahead of the one a month Sephora promises. Considering this is not in stock hours after receiving the email, I think there is a huge possibility it was emailed early. It did eventually come in stock and was still in stock on 07/05/18 when the next one released.

This is two days less than members received last year, but they still get 15% whereas Beauty Insider members only get 10%. That makes this an extra perk.
3- Emailed 04/18/18- Use code VIBDUO for a 2-piece Estee Lauder gift: a 0.24oz Revitalizing Supreme Global Anti-Aging Creme and a 0.24oz Advanced Night Repair Synchronized Recovery Complex II with a $35 purchase.

I did some digging and the Caudalie gift Kit commented about below from February 14th was only available in Canada. In the US, I cannot find any proof there was a VIB offer in February. As I am in the US, I do not get and thus do not share Canadian offers. Some offers only work in the US or Canada. Others work for both. Sephora never emailed me an offer, and I never saw one in the affiliate account. My guess is there was not an offer. Hopefully, we get a bonus offer in another month so Sephora keeps its promise of monthly gifts. Yes, I know a GWP is not a gift.
1- Emailed 01/18/18- Use code VIBMUD for a 0.5oz GLAMGLOW GRAVITYMUD Firming Treatment, a 0.17oz GLAMGLOW VOLCASMIC Matte Glow Moisturizer, and a 0.5oz GLAMGLOW GALACTICLEANSE Hydrating Jelly Balm Cleanser with a $35 purchase. I purchased that moisturizer without sampling it first and love it. Besides how beautifully this hydrates my dry skin, it smells like an orange creamsicle.
What are your thoughts on these Sephora VIB Exclusive Promotions? Let me know below. Sephora does not inform any Beauty Insider of all promotions. It does list a great deal of them on its Beauty Offers page, but I list some it does not on my Sephora Deals Page. Between the ones it lists and the ones I list, you can catch most of them. Subscribe to emails to get targeted offers. If you’re spending over $25 online, there is always a promo code that you can apply. Most major events run on a set schedule, which is why I track them.

I'm Kimberly. Shopping is always more fun when I've found the best deal available, so I am always on the hunt. My father instilled that in me, and I love that I carry a piece of him. Sometimes, my husband and sons (13 and 8) let me shop for them, too. They do not use as many beauty products as I do. We can all benefit from nice products, even though their routine ends with moisturizer. That is when I can convince my 13-year-old to apply it.
Deals Too Good to Pass Up 
When do you think Sephora will release a new VIB/rouge GWP? It’s been over 2 months!! I’m kinda pissed…. their CS has been so awful this year. I’m so disappointed with them. Have you tried reaching out to them? I did and they were really rude to me. Maybe they will give you a better response especially if you mention your blog.

Sephora should release a new code every month (according to its own chart), but a code was never released in February. The next gift, VIBTROUBLE, should release soon, probably tomorrow or the next day. This is a 3-piece Urban Decay gift featuring: 0.5oz All Nighter Setting Spray, 0.03oz Vice Lipstick in Bad Blood, and a 0.08oz Troublemaker Mascara. As soon as it is official, I will add it above.

You must have missed an email, the Feb 2018 vib Rouge gift was a 3 piece Caudalie Vinoperfect set with eye cream, essence, and serum.

Edit: Thanks for bringing that offer to my attention. I really appreciate it. The Caudalie offer you received on February 14th was for Canada only. There is still nothing I can find showing the US received a February offer so I think there really wasn’t one.
