Unless you've been living under a rock, you're heard whisperings of the infamous Sephora VIB Rouge/VIB sale. Starting today until the 7th, VIB Rouge members receive 20% off their purchase, followed by the regular VIB sale next week from November 11th-14th. This is a big deal as Sephora only hosts two sales a year (one in the spring and one in the fall) and it is a great time to stock up on staples and purchase a few splurge-worthy items. Keep reading to see my recommendations, plus what is on my wishlist this year!

1. Foundation | I use a variety of foundations - mostly drugstore, but I generally splurge on a high-end foundation during the sale. This year, I have the Lancome Teint Idole Ultra 24H Long Wear Foundation on my wishlist, though I'm still debating between that and the Lancome Teint Idole Ultra Longwear Foundation Stick. I struggle to pay $50+ a bottle for foundation when I've had good luck with drugstore options, so I take advantage of the 20% off which makes it a little easier to swallow.

2. Primer | Like foundation, primer can be an expensive purchase. However, unlike foundation, I haven't found a drugstore option that compares to the quality of a good primer. Since trying a sample of the Becca Backlight Priming Filter, I haven't been able to get it off my mind. It honestly made my skin glow to the point where I didn't even feel like I needed foundation.

3. Beauty Tools | I love my Beauty Blender but I hate the nearly-$30 price tag attached to it, especially when there are cheaper alternatives. I wash mine regularly and try to make it last between sales, then get a bright new one at 20% off. Likewise, it is a great time to pick up a brush set, hair dryer or straightener without paying full price.

4. Palettes | Jordan already purchased the Anastasia Beverly Hills Modern Renaissance Eye Shadow Palette for me for Christmas so the only palette I currently have left on my wishlist is the Nars True Story Cheek & Lip Palette. It was love at first sight but I will be shocked if it's still in stock by next week. In previous years, I've picked up the Urban Decay Naked Palettes and the Kat Von D Shade + Light Contour Palette. Again, it's the best time to grab those pricier items at a discount!

5. Lipstick | Okay, this isn't a "must have" item for me right now, but it's hard to resist buying these at a discount. I have two Kat Von D Everlasting Liquid Lipsticks in "Requiem" and "Lovesick", as well as the limited edition Bite Beauty Amuse Bouche Mauvember 2016 Lipstick (hey, it's for a great cause!) on my list this year.

6. Limited Edition Holiday Products | Okay, this is where Sephora sucks us all in. Theres nothing like the words "limited edition" or a perfectly curated set of mini products to make you want to purchase it right now. Sadly, one of the items on my list, the Fresh Sugar Lip Party Favours is already sold out (fingers crossed that it will return!). The Bite Beauty Best Bite Redux and the Huda Beauty Lip Contour Set are also on my list and I love stocking up on the L'Occitane Hand Creams during the holidays (still using mine from last year!).

What I'm Buying This Fall

1. Kate Spade Monterrey Watch | 2. Gap 1969 Flare Jeans | 3. J. Crew Downtown Field Jacket | 4. American Eagle Soft Boyfriend Shirt | 5. Call It Spring "Kokes" | 6. Old Navy Marled Cocoon Open-Front Sweater

Fall is my favourite season of all (except it means that we are one season closer to the dreaded winter) and I look forward to it every year. I love everything from the fall foliage to pumpkin-flavoured everything but I especially love fall fashion. Although I haven't gone "back to school" for the past four years, I get an itch every September to buy a few new outfits. I probably should have been a teacher because at least then I could have justified it!

1. I'm actually not in the market for a new watch as I already own this gorgeous Fossil watch. However, I stumbled upon this Kate Spade watch and I fell in love. Is there a watch more suited to me? I don't think so. I love the simple leather band and the blue second hand but I especially love the "I need a vacation" on the time face. Mainly because I always need a vacation.

2. As much as I love skinny jeans and boots in the fall, I really want a new style of jeans for a change. I love how flared jeans make my legs look a mile long! I haven't owned a pair for a few years but I just ordered these Gap jeans for a steal at less than $40 and I really hope that they fit.

3. I have been wanting a military-style jacket for ages now and I fell in love with this one the moment I seen it. Even better, it's marked down with an additional 30% off using code "SHOPSTYLE". I actually slept on it before biting the bullet and ordering it because I really don't need another jacket but I love how versatile this style it. Because of the reviews, I ordered a size larger than I normally would so I am praying that it fits!

4. The plaid button-up shirt is a quintessential fall staple and I have been living in them recently. I love the colors in this one and it would be perfect for Christmas as well. These shirts are so easy to throw on with jeans and boots and are also great for lounging around the house when paired with leggings.

5. If only Spring accepted gift cards online, these babies would probably already be in my possession. I am hoping that they have them in store the next time I am there so I can try them on. If they are comfortable, I will definitely be adding them to my collection!

6. Fall is the season for cozy sweaters and this affordable option from Old Navy is definitely on my to-buy list. I love pairing long cardigans with v-neck tees and boots for days when the weather is chilly but not too cold.
