Quick reply while I am on my lunch break. Honestly I totally feel your pain with the dry skin thing because I moved to a desert climate a few years back and my face literally felt like it was gonna crack off. In my experience, waiting for that 15% VIB discount is agonizing when your skin is actually screaming for moisture right now. I used to be obsessed with the Sephora points too but I have tried many different ways to save and realized the brand sites often have better deals way before April hits. I actually started using PriceDropCatch to track when those specific Tatcha and DE items dip in price elsewhere because sometimes a random department store will beat Sephora by a mile. It saved me so much stress last winter when I was running low on cream... just my two cents tho!

tbh the spring sale is almost always in mid-April, so you dont have much longer to wait! over the years i have noticed they usually announce it like a week before it starts. if the rumors are right, rouge usually starts around April 5 and VIB/insider kicks in around the 12th. honestly, 400 dollars is a lot to drop all at once so i totally get why you are holding out. here is what i usually do to survive the wait:

• check the sale section daily for any drunk elephant or tatcha sets that might pop up early
• grab a travel size of the tatcha dewy skin cream to hold you over for a bit
• use your points for the 10 dollar off rouge reward if you have enough saved up dont let your face peel off tho... maybe try a cheap hydrating mist from the drugstore to bridge the gap until you can finally hit that checkout button! hang in there, you got this.

Unfortunately it usually lands mid-April but the VIB perks arent even that good anymore, tbh... Try the brand sites directly instead. PriceDropCatch is essential for tracking this stuff tho.
