All Things Sephora

[poodle649]

May as well. That's why some people have so many points. Between Sephora trying to fix probs by dishing them out and people hoarding because none of the regular perks interest them...

I just sent an email.

I will still be shopping the VIB 20% off sale in the fall. I'm a sucker for a discount on high end brands!

[COLOR=141823] I just wanna thank Sephora for the comedy gold this whole thing has been, grown women throwing tantrums, threatening to never shop at sephora again, calling for sephora executives to be fired (lol), acting like this whole thing has ruined their lives... all this over makeup. I've literally laughed out loud over some of these comments and I can't believe they're coming from adult women. To all of you throwing these internet tantrums, I just wanna say I think it's time to reevaluate your life and your priorities. Sitting in front of computer hitting "refresh" for an entire night and day getting no sleep, is something only a mentally ill person would do. And those of you calling for the heads of marketing executives and the like (again lol), please realize that it's not going to happen, no one is going to be fired cause a stay at home mom obsessed with makeup wants "rewards justice". These execs know what they were doing and they'll do it again and again, and you women will threaten again and again to boycott them, only to find yourself shopping there again in a few weeks, hoarding more makeup.
A word of advice, look at yourself and think "will this matter a year from now?" No it won't. Cause it's makeup. That wasn't "free". Because you've already spent over 5k in makeup. You gals also need a basic course in math because if you actually went and bought more stuff you didn't need in the weeks leading to the event to try and get 2x or 3x the points, then I'm sorry to say you are an idiot.
Take a step back, log off, turn off your computer, leave your phone at home and go for a walk, go get yourself a cup of coffee and stop writing senseless stuff on this and all other social media, your crazy is showing."

Omg I can't, there's a FB group that already has 635 members! https://www.facebook.com/groups/SephorasEpicFail/?hc_location=ufi And a petition! https://www.change.org/p/calvin-mcd...utm_source=share_petition&utm_medium=copylink

Where is that Jon Stewart gif right now? The streets need it.

And I am paying for the stalking day yesterday at work lol!! Also I missed the etsy listing of one of the shops I follow!! I wanted one of the pendant chain so bad

I think I was more bummed about that lol'n

Ahh, that sucks!

I was so tired today, that when I went to the store I was more distracted with my jeans sliding down & my tshirt sliding up & my butt showing, that I actually walked out without paying for my $106.00 worth of groceries

I figured it out as soon as I walked through the exit & went right back in to the checkout. The self checkout lady laughed at me. Thank goodness they know me

 

[Subparbrina]

Have any of you tried the Stila Watercolor blushes? I might pick some up during the 20% off sale.

 

[montREALady]

That's exactly the problem, even such a huge amount of money from them wouldn't begin to cover their customers. I think they should do away w the whole points system entirely. Or offer a selection of epic rewards each month in place of the birthday gift, like you could attempt to redeem your points during your birthday month only (but they still better have way more than 40 of each, that's staggeringly low to me) I also really like the idea of the Ulta method where points converts to money off a purchase, even if it isn't dollar for dollar. The points as they stand are totally useless right now, I'm going to have mine for the rest of my life lol sorry Sephora, I'm never using them on your 1-250 pointers! And I think they should have been realistic about people's chances w the rewards. If I knew even with stalking it wouldn't happen I wouldn't have tried, it's not worth the effort lol

Yup, points for dollars would be great. Heck, even Children's Place does that with their My Place Rewards! I get "CP Cash" all the time and I love it! I then use it for regular-priced items I may want for the kids that I wouldn't spend full-pop on. Otherwise I just do sale/clearance and coupons, lolll. Sephora loves giving you the points then saying they don't expire...thank goodness because you need that to ever get something with them! Ulta and Children's Place points expire, but that just makes you shop and use them and not hoard. I'm thinking cash-based rewards need to put expiration dates on their points so that you can't hoard and end up with thousands of dollars though

:haha: Yes she makes these nice little pendants with dried tiny flowers!! They look so cute but the shop sells out as soon as she lists!! I totally spaced :sigh: for something epic!!

 

[MsGlossy]

Not sure it's been mentioned because I'm still not caught up, but Sephora has had a banner for the extra points rewards that ended on August 9th up on their website since last night. They sure know how to add insult to injury, don't they? I feel like cussing. I didn't even try this time around but I am so pissed because I had faith that they were going to improve and they literally made NO changes whatsoever. I participated from the sidelines and it was a big let down so I can only imagine how those that actively participated must feel. SMDH

Hahaha, me too re work! But I get my eye mask so I'm a happy camper!

Sorry you missed the pendant chain, lollll, I know, precious hours wasted with Sephora and their shenanigans!

 

[elegant-one]

I felt so stupid but it was really funny at the same time. I'm fortunate that I live in a quiet small town & everyone knows everyone or that may have happened lol

I'm thinking cash-based rewards need to put expiration dates on their points so that you can't hoard and end up with thousands of dollars though :lol:

That's another reason I think they need a revamp on their system, bc so many of us have thousands of hoarded points just waiting for sephora to pay out lol I wouldn't want a bunch of my customers having hoarded points when there's no real way to satisfy everyone, it's like ammo! All these now annoyed customers with mountains of points they want you to back up with product lol

Bwahahaha, me too! I'm all good for a cause until I can get a discount. Then I'm like "What cause?"

Plus I need more samples to just hoard and not use and run out of places to tuck them in...

I have to say, I do enjoy the fragrance ones.

That's what happens when us older gals try to play young

 

[pandorablack]

The matte/shimmer one looks good to me. I think I will be grabbing that from Nordstrom. I have moved most of my NARS purchases from Sephora to Nordstrom. I found a SA in Miami at the Aventura store that make it worth my while to shop at there instead. I really hope I can make that sort of connection again.

That's what I did too. And really, the perks are just as good if not better than Sephora. Like, during the anniversary sale, I got three free gifts from Nars with deluxe samples for spending over $85 (uh, three separate times...) plus a full bottle of Prada perfume.

I love E! Very reputable source. They have their ears to the street!

The article:
"
Sephora, you got some 'splaining to do.
The beauty retailer has come under fire on social media for hyping up their annual Epic Rewards Day and then, according to dozens upon dozens of angry customers on Twitter, not delivering. (Like, at all.) The Epic Rewards Day Fail promotion teased insanely luxe prizes for the brand's most dedicated buyers, like a trip to Paris for Beauty Insiders with more than 10,000 points to their accounts, alongside other options—like $500 worth of Make Up For Ever products with a complementary training session at the brand's beauty academy and a Marc Jacobs Incognito satchel featuring a Marc Jacobs wallet and assorted beauty loot.
Other prizes up for grabs (well, supposedly) included a range gift bags and kits from Elizabeth & James, Drybar, Stila, Bumble & Bumble, Bobbi Brown and Benefit. So you had to know there was going to be quite the demand, right?
Apparently, Sephora didn't—the available rewards were gone within seconds. What's more, the brand added kindling to the flame by offering a vague start time for the promotion ("The Epic Rewards will be launching on 8/10/15 during business hours," a brand tweet announced) and equally opaque responses to the stream of complaints about the lack of available prizes.
Well, you knew it was coming—read on for some of the more heated tweets below."

She obviously never met a Specktrette -especially when there is a new MAC launch.

Yes, in the end is just make up. It's not going to change lives or make the world a peaceful place. But if it is important to some people who would enjoy receiving a special perk from Sephora, who am I to call them mentally ill? I would probably find a few of your (you(r) in the general sense) obsessions as strange as you would find mine. There is a problem with how Sephora handles these promotions and they need to be aware of it (whether or not they actually do something about it is another issue). Sometimes people just need to vent at the way they have been treated.

She may not have been up all night, refreshing the page but she must have been on Sephora website/ social media, reading post after post about the epic rewards. She should take her own advice to step back and log off of social media because her condescending and pretentious attitude is showing.
