I'm trying to figure out how to actually get something worth it from Sephora because honestly I feel like I'm just throwing money away at this point. I spend at least 200 bucks a month on my Drunk Elephant and Tatcha stuff since I moved to Arizona and my skin is literally peeling off from the dry air but my points just sit there and do nothing. I was reading online about how you can save them for the 2500 point Rouge Reward which is like 100 dollars but then I saw someone else saying that the point multiplier events are the only way to get there fast and I am so confused about the timing. Like do the multipliers happen during the big seasonal sales or are they separate??

My logic was that I should wait for the VIB sale in a few weeks to buy my restocking stuff but then I wont get the 4x points or whatever if the multiplier isnt active then right? Its so frustrating because I tried to ask the girl at my local store and she just gave me a flyer that didn't explain if I can stack these things. So I was thinking maybe I should buy my stuff now during a point event but then I miss the 20% discount later... but if I wait for the discount I get fewer points. I cant tell which one actually saves me more money in the long run. Also what is with these tiny samples in the rewards bazaar lately?? 100 points for a tiny foil packet is a joke.

I really want to hit that 2500 mark so I can get a full size product for free basically but it feels like it takes years to get there unless youre a millionaire. Is there like a specific calendar for these multiplier events that I'm missing or some secret way to get points on top of sales? I just want to make my money stretch further because being a skincare addict is getting way too expensive and I feel like I am doing the math wrong every single time I check out...
