All Things Sephora

[awickedshape]

LOL. I've always enjoyed that Kristen Bell/Veronica Mars scene they use at the end of this list. They must've had a peek at this site to compile their list.  

I loved V.Mars! Yes, I did look over my shoulder lol

:lmao: #truth

Testify lol

Lmao

;-)

damn, guilty.

Aw lol

I don't like this writer ooh:

They've only exposed the tip of the iceberg lol

[@]Shars[/@] the MJ is a mini? An even easier skip lol Thanks

 

[Shars]

Thanks

Yup! All minis:

Don't pay attention to the size listed. Marc Jacobs' highliner sizes are always wrong - even on the packaging. It's a mini in that set.
I think the should multiple points too. Like at Ulta, if you spend $400 in a calendar year and make Platinum, I think you get double points on all your purchases thereon. Only thing I don't like about Ulta is that your rewards expire. I had $6.00 in rewards and didn't get to use them and they just disappeared.

Sorry to hear that your points expired. I hate missing out on stuff like that. Especially since i usually realize it the DAY AFTER.

Points don't expire for platinum members so I just keep rolling mine. I usually spend 2000 points ($125) near the end of the year and use it with the 20% off coupon that includes prestige items and fragrances. Besides my Zoya and conditioner addiction, I prefer buying certain items at Ulta over Sephora since their point system is better.

I know right! And I could've cashed in. For some reason also, Ulta won't let me check out. I always get a payment processing error. I even tried buying a gift card to see if I could just pay with that instead but it still wanted me to enter card information and I was back at square one.
I do agree that their rewards system is better except that I think when Sephora has sales, it's more transparent and applied better across the board (e.g. you know if you're rouge, you're getting a certain % off between certain dates, etc.). I never get those coupons from Ulta even though I've checked my subscription.

Seems good. How many of the products are you interested in? I'm only interested in trying the black eyeliner/highliner so I'll hang back.

Lol I'm pretty much only interested in the eyeliner too. I tried to get excited about the lipstick but no cigar, and I already have that mascara. This set is becoming underwhelming very quickly lol.

im gonna also order Caudalie Grape Water n Beauty Elixir...has anyone tried these before?

Waiting for your thoughts on these! I've had my eye on the Beauty Elixir.

The gif at the end! :haha:

They tend to have the liner by itself as a 100 pt perk quite often. So, if you're not interested in the other products, you can probably wait around for it to pop up again. Don't pay attention to the size listed. Marc Jacobs' highliner sizes are always wrong - even on the packaging. It's a mini in that set.

Thanks girl. You pretty much helped me make up my mind with that! I'll just hold out for the liner itself. I thought it looked like a mini but was hoping for the best lol.

 

[Shars]

Has anybody tried/swatched these new MJ brow pencils? The shades look limited but I'd still be interested in them.

Have you tried calling them? They need to fix whatever is preventing you from checking out.

So you don't get the prestige coupons at all? Well, that sucks! They generally send it out at least twice per year. I've gotten it 3x before since they stagger it sometimes and someone wanted me to have an extra one! Haha. I figure waiting on the prestige coupons is similar to waiting out Sephora's twice a year sales so I'm cool with that. I use all the other coupons mostly for polishes. At this point, I need more fingers.

Bah! No dice, Sephora lol Thanks

Same here re liner and lipstick lol One of the few tv characters that I liked. Brains, guts, a big dog and a tazer lol

I sent them an email but I'm going to try to call them when I get off from work if their CS lines are still open.

My only qualms with them is that sometimes people get the prestige ones and sometimes they get ones with limitations and it's not based on their status so there's no rhyme or reason to it. I have used the other coupons in store when I travel. I don't have immediate access to a store so I would only have the option of ordering online. Sephora seems to love my money and card, so that ends up being my drug of choice lol. Them and Nordies.

 

[Monsy]

do you have ulta card and have you checked if your email / mailing address is correct in the system ?

 

[DLuxJessica]

Yup! I'm a fan! It's crazy pretty and does a nice job finishing off your face.

They stagger the coupons, which is kind of weird. Luckily, my friends don't really care about makeup and stuff so I just use theirs to get access to the discount more often. Even though their name may be printed on it, I give my phone number and then the coupon. I just let them know I got it from a friend and I've never had any issues with them not accepting it.

Sephora is clearly my drug of choice, as well.

They just have more items, but if there is an item that both Ulta and Sephora have then I get it at Ulta. I also like Beauty.com since i have free shipping and get a GWP with just a $10+ purchase. Nordies and Saks are also good for free shipping and a nice GWP.

Nice! I need to get some friends like that lol. I like Beauty.com too. Especially the fact that they don't charge tax. I've got a cart load of stuff on there for their 20% off sale that's going on. I usually get stuff in their 20% off sales instead of Sephoras because of the no-tax.

 

[Monsy]

You mean like an Ulta Rewards card right? I do and I checked both email and mailing address. Actually, I only started getting emails from them after I made a big instore purchase after Easter!
.

i think they send coupons that are good on prestige to people who actually make in store prestige purchases. or at least they send them to these customers more often than to the other ones who buy more mass stuff

Maybe. I think Saks does that too.

Miracle cushion - VERY nice if you want sheer to medium coverage. Beautiful finish - very satin.
