Plus my 3 freebies. it was kind of exciting buying stuff at Sephora, I never have before!

Are the freebies at random at checkout?? My choices were two Benefit products and a liner pot I think

for the $100 spent.

Hmm I dunno, my total came to like 60 something before the discount, and I only spent 50 something after the discount. So i guess the freebies vary with how much u spend? I didnt know that. i got 2 perfume samples and a shampoo or something. I got to choose them.

Damn i should have spent more! LoL

Every purchase you get to pick 3 samples, but if you become a beauty insider you get a deluxe sample for ever 100 points you accumulate. You also get a cute gift for your b-day (last year it was a bliss body lotion, this year it was birthday cake scented shower gel... they'll pick a new gift in January for the new year) If you save up 500 points you get a gift set.. if you want.

You just have to sign up on their site, it's free.

Lately the deluxe samples have been great. A few weeks ago I got a big Sephora shopper tote, and this week it was A full-size Benefit Creaseless Cream Eyeshadow or Benefit lipstick. You could get that with 100 points only.

If your not a beauty insider sign up and call customer service. They will add the 50 or 60 points you would've got to your new beauty insider account.

If you ever get to an actual Sephora store ask them for a card for your beauty insider account. Then whenever you get to a store they just scan it with your purchase.

Cool! thanks! I am a beauty insider, this was my very first sephora purchase. I got to pick the regular 3 samples, but obviously I wouldnt get 100 points yet. I wonder how to find out how many points I have for making a purchase?

 

[bella1342]

When you sign in it will tell you.. but it might be hard to find it at first. I know I didn't notice it right away. In the box it will say beauty insider, then it will say you have __ points in your beauty bank.

LOL, actually I just checked on sephora's site & it says its for men AND WOMEN for after they shave or wax...it has great reviews too so its a good sample! Maybe you'll love it, I'm going to take itback from my hubby & try it too!

I use tend skin on my pimples, dries them right up. Otherwise you would use it as to avoid ingrown hairs after shaving or waxing.

Thanks!
Is it like a MAC code, in the sense that it can be used as often as you like?
And what are the valid dates?

 

[airplane_girl]

so today I went to Sephora to look at the stuff( i.e MUFE foundation) I plan to buy online using the f&f discount. You know how they usually come to you and ask if you need any help well one of the girls did and I told her I was just looking at the stuff I was going to buy online so I can get the F&F discount. Well she happened to be a manager or assistant manager and said since I knew about it I can just buy the stuff there and get the discount. YAY so I don't have to wait for it... I saved 81 bucks. Finally got the clarisonic that I have been eyeing,extra bush head for the clarisonic, MUFE foundation, Shelaq, full size bliss body cream, the lash placement tool that was recommended by mac_pixie, holiday tweezerman set, black tweezerman (for the hubby) and clinque instant pore minimizer.

i was planning on getting some UD but I'm going to buy with UD for the 30% off.

I read here that if you save 500 points you can get a gift set with them. Is that true?

You were very lucky that you spoke to her. The online sale ended at midnight on Tuesday. Had you tried to order online, you would have had to pay full price.

The only time we do is when a brand is exiting our company and we put the leftover stock on clearance, or sometimes certain Limited Edition items that don't move fast enough will have their prices dropped. We sell luxury goods, and luxury goods don't often go on sale, so this one time of year that we offer our discount to our clients is really the only time you could consider us to be having a "sale." Because our products don't turn over with time of year or trend--say like winter clothes go on sale in spring to make room for spring clothes in a department store--we don't have sales. And, the only time we can make price changes or have "sales" is if the brands and our corporate heads allow it, which almost never happens. So if you're going to Sephora on Black Friday or the day after Christmas expecting a sale, you're going to be disappointed. It's not something we do, just like Macys, just like Nordstrom.

Sorry to bump this thread up, but just had to say that Sephora now has their sale online! I knew they'd have something so took your comment with a pinch of salt at the time.

Gift sets are being discounted aswell as some of their own brand single items and a host of other brand names.

I dont see any sale at Sephora.com?

It is showing on the main page now. I wasn't working earlier for me either. There is nothing really on sale. Most of them are just a few dollars off the retail prices. The up to 75% off is on about 4 products. I hope that they add a few more things later or have some deeper discounts.

 

[Beauty Mark]

The sale looks like mostly stuff that they're discontinuing. IIRC, I saw some of it in the Clearance section on the website.

Every so often, I look whats on the sale page. But now-a-days, it's alot of sets ranging from BE, DKNY, Sephora's brand, brushes, Ojon, Lorlac, Vincent Longo, etc. But with BE and DKNY, I think that they have alot of sets that have become unpopular and Sephora is tryin to clean out 2008's inventory.

Brands like Sugar, Vincent Longo & Pop Beauty seem to be going out of business (like Hard Candy).

It's about 25%-75% sale. But if Sephora's main page doesnt have the "sale" link, just search the word SALE on Sephora search engine.
