The night before the Sephora VIB Rouge Event September 2016 Holiday Preview we were scrambling to figure out which store near us was having this event and if we would be able to attend last minute. Like many others, when the invite for the event first went out we had issues accessing the link and it wasn’t listed under any store’s events. I took a shot and called one of the stores we visit on the regular and even though they were full, they still let us in, banking on that not everyone would show….not that we’re super fucking awesome or anything.

We made sure to get there on the early side of the event, which I’m glad I did since they ran out of one of the items we nabbed.

Confession: I went to Ulta after too. I had a return! I swear! But we all know how that goes. And then they had an Urban Decay Day so it was all downhill from there. Most notable though they had the same Buxom lip set already available for the same price in store and online. So if you didn’t make it to the event or were not able to pick up this item, it is available there now!
