It's that time of year again: Sephora is rewarding us beauty lovers with its annual exclusive Beauty Insider holiday sale. This year's annual sale is taking place over two weekends, so we can come back the second weekend and buy all the things we talked ourselves out of buying during the first (which includes all those newly launched holiday gift sets). The Instagram account Trendmood broke the news via the social media platform that the first weekend, October 26 through October 29, is exclusive to those who have attained VIB Rouge status, while everyone can participate the second weekend, from November 2 to November 5.

VIB Rouge members, or beauty shoppers who have spent at least $1000 this calendar year, can get a whopping 20 percent off all purchases in stores and online with the code ROUGEBONUS. At the time of publishing, the codes for the VIB (people who have spent at least $350 this calendar year) and Beauty Insider tiers had not been announced. We'll be updating as soon as we learn more.

It's a pretty good time to be a loyal Sephora shopper. As of August 14, Sephora announced that they would be updating their entire Beauty Insider Program and now the return on feeding your shopping habit is better than ever before.

For VIB and VIB Rouge members, you can earn 1.25 and 1.5 points, respectively, for every dollar you spend. The Rewards Bazaar (where you can trade in points for rewards) also got a serious upgrade: Not only are there more rewards than were offered before, but now VIB and Rouge members can also take advantage of full-size products offered at the 750+ point level. Rouge members can also redeem 2,500 points for a $100 Reward (so you can just keep shopping, obvi).

And while all levels receive the coveted birthday gift (Who didn't get introduced to Nars' Velvet Matte Lip Pencil via Sephora's birthday present?), VIB and Rouge members can opt instead for an extra 250 points. On top of these new additions, Beauty Insiders can still enjoy the fun perks that Sephora offers across all levels, including free in-store beauty classes and free custom makeovers for Rouge.

We'll keep you posted on the Beauty Insider Holiday Sale. So head over to sephora.com and start updating your wishlist and filling your shopping cart.
