If you're a beauty insider they should have sent you an invite for 20% off by email. It's from 8-10 AM. It applies to Canadian stores.

Bump to answer my previous question -

Anyone who works at Sephora now who has thier Fand F card? My friend currently works there and said she had a card for me, and that in the store the discount is valid until the 22nd, yes/no?

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.

Don't you discount the sets that come out especially for Xmas, after Xmas?? Perfume gift sets, etc

 

[LatinaRose]

I really held back and chopped my list down to the UD Deluxe Shadow Box and Nars Blush in Crazed. I wanted to get so much more!!! But I have too much makeup I don't use anyway, so I'm trying to chill out.

 

[winterwonder]

Yayyy I stocked up on my basics (Clinique concealer and Purity made simple).

Still waiting on my Shiseido mascara base!!! I ordered stuff for a friend after I ordered that and hers arrived first. Gr!! =(

 

[ambicion6]

Whooo!

I got the following:

[FONT=&quot]Make Up For Ever/Mat Velvet + Matifying Foundation/No. 35 - Vanilla [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Urban Decay/Eyeshadow Primer Potion/0.34 oz [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Dior/L'absolu/2.5 oz Eau de Parfum Spray [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Make Up For Ever/5 Camouflage Cream Palette - No. 3/N3 [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Sephora Brand/Professionnel Brow Brush #10/Professionnel Brow Brush #10 [/FONT]

I went to Sephora today to get matched for MUFE foundation after reading all the reviews on here and on makeupalley.

I just need something more matte for day to day instead of the MAC satinfinish.

 

[purrtykitty]

I had a little fun with my invite this morning. I got MUFE HD Primer #9, Benefit Powderflage, a Sephora Pearl shadow (in a pretty creamy beige), and two brushes (a blending brush and small shadow brush). Plus I got a free mini Philosophy Purity cleanser and I had enough points to get a beauty bonus, so I got the Smashbox Bionic mascara. I also nabbed a sample of the MUFE HD Primer #1 (the green one).

 

[CantAffordMAC]

the one damn thing i wanted (velvet rope eyeliner set) is sold out.

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. Oh well, more money for MAC. I never shop at Sephora, and I was going to take advantage of this sale, but now I wont.

 

[astronaut]

Woo hoo here's what I got:

Dior Dior Vernis - Black Sequins - Black Sequins 905
NARS Single Eye Shadow - Night Breed
Philosophy Café Au Lait Shower Gel - 16 oz
SEPHORA by OPI Daily Hand Moisturizer To Go - 1.7 oz
Make Up For Ever HD Microperfecting Primer - 0 Neutral
Shiseido The Makeup Mascara Base
Philosophy Supernatural Airbrush
NARS Duo Eye Shadow - Misfit

And I got 3 full sized Benefit lipsticks in I do. I do. I do. It's like Gentle Simmer slimshine on steroids!

In the US, possibly not, since everything can be returned to the vendor. In Canada, you can't ship across the border due to transportation regulations for alcohol, so maybe/probably (unless it's a brand with a Canadian warehouse).

That's odd. I've been told they do in Macys, etc They always do here in England.

Hmm I'll check on Boxing Day myself anyways...thanks hon.

I know!! People can be so nasty! I've had people blatantly ask me for my discount, people I hardly know. Or "Wow, this is expensive. Can I get a discount since I'm buying such a big item?" Uhh no, see that price tile? Thats how much you pay...all year round unless something changes in our corporate office.

F&F instore is 11/6-11/22, but you have to have a stamped store card from a cast member.

No, because nothing we sell comes out specifically for Christmas; there are launches around the holidays, but those things are still good afterward. Most of our gift sets don't even look like they're for the holidays because even after Christmas etc, we want to still be able to sell them. If we don't, we send them back to the brand and they can do what they want with their merchandise. That's sometimes how things end up in Nordstrom Rack etc.

As far as I know here in the US, Macy's Cosmetics and Fragrance departments don't have sales or coupons. They have GWP as an incentive, because they can't alter the price of those luxury goods.

 

[CantAffordMAC]

where do i put in the damn code? Im trying to check out but cant figure out where to put the FF2008...

Im so...dense.

lol

EDIT: Ummm I figured it out. Wow Im slow lol

 

[CantAffordMAC]

Urban Decay Velvet Rope 24/7 eyeliner set
Ojon Rub Out cleanser (dry shampoo)
And Philosophy Under The Mistletoe ornament, with 3 lipglosses.

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