Can you explain this? I just became VIB rouge and so far all I see as a perk is free shipping. I have 1100 points (have spent other points on smaller items through the year). Are there any other real perks to being VIB rouge than just the free shipping all the time (which is an awesome perk). That and some of the LE lippies and stuff that only Rouge people an buy?
I feel like its not really worth it, I'm VIB rouge now and have to spend $500 more dollars in order to keep my status before the end of the year and honestly it doesn't really matter to me. The free shipping is a perk but I've only used it once this year since I never order online and a majority of my money goes to Mac anyways. I don't take advantage of the in store makeovers but I do like how sometimes they will host VIB rouge only parties and its nice being able to have access to the newest products first.
You get all of the in-store make-over stuff and consultations free (I use that ALL the time, like every time I go to the mall). To be honest, even if you have zero points you can always get them to do your makeup, but if you're VIB rouge you can call ahead and reserve a time. Like set up the hour and a half or whatever make-over and consultation. Plus there are random redeemable things only for rouge, like they had a 1000 point thing that was two full-size marc jacobs lip products. Then there are super duper random things like they give you a bottle of water at check out (and sometimes ring a bell and everyone goes WOOO!! It's super awkward).
I totally missed out on that 1000 point Marc Jacobs set but that was a really awesome gift! I think its funny the special treatment you get with being a VIB rouge, its like every time I go to check out the MUA is always surprised and super duper nice when I hand them my card lol
