I just called my local store. She said that the F&F event is literally for friends and family of employees. The employees are given a limited number of people they can invite to use the discout and it is "very exclusive" in her words. She said it is totally against policy to send it in email. I had mentioned in the beginning of the call that I placed an olline order already but that I wnated to purchase more in the store but she asked me how I was able to get the discount and I didn't want to tell her so I changed the subject. It's pretty common knowledge on the internet what the online code is. I don't get how Sephora works this event AT ALL. I guess I'll place my next order online. I'm now worried about being hassled if I want to excheange items in the store and they look up my purchase history and see I used the FF code.

Anyway, she also told me that they will be doing a separate promotional even that includes a discount (that she wouldn't disclose) around the holidays. This event is for Beauty Insiders and VIBs. That event gets an email.

Lurking in this forum has been really dangerous for my wallet. I had a blast yesterday with the Sephora F and F deal. I'm plotting another order, but I have a question.

This is the first time I've ever paid attention to Sephora's sales. Do they offer the F and F discount once a year only, or do they offer this sale twice a year?

I am dying to know because it will impact what I buy. I'd be inclined to stock up if it is going to be once a year.

hmm, I think it's once a year thing. searched through past my RSS feeds and all of them were around this time of the year.

I'm shocked! I mean I guess our store is fairly new so they do want to meet sales, but I literally went in no less than 6 times last year and had no problems each time with the code and I had already made an online purchase. I plan on heading over tomorrow bc I need to sit down and go through things, but I'll definitely report back as to if there was a change.

So far I bought Guerlain aqua parer foundation and bobbi brown extra eye repair cream. I am wondering what else to get ? I wanted to get J'adore perfume, but I have soooo much perfume, I can hardly justify this purchase. Also, was thinking about getting clarisonic opal, but I already get botox, so getting anti-wrinkle device is kind of pointless.

IIRC, last year it was a $20 in store credit for VIB's. I remember because I used it to buy the KVD gunmetal compact.

I can't believe that chick acted like this was SOOOO exclusive or some kind of secret and demanded to know where you got your code - it's all over the blogs and as has been mentioned before, ON THEIR FACEBOOK. It's not like it's a freaking Illuminati Artifact Rummage Sale. People are nuts!

I agree that sales rep was WAY out of line, Her attitude is appalling, sorry you had to go through this lawchick.


Question : has anyone tried perricone cold plasma ? I am thinking about buying it since I need a new face cream but still in the fence. Is it worth the price ?

I stopped by my local Sephora today to see what the colors I bought online will look like in person. A SA stopped by and asked me if I needed help, and I asked her if I can use the F&F in-store. At first she said no, then she went to ask her manager, and the manager said no. Then the SA came back and told me she'd give me one of 'her' cards so I could get the discount. She was very helpful, and because of this, I ended up buying MORE in addition to what I had already ordered online. When I went up to the register to make my purchase, the cashier told me it was the first card she'd seen and she didn't even know how to ring the purchase up.

LMAO.

When I got my invite, she whispered it, like it was some kind of secret. I've had some issues with this particular SA, so I'll be curious if it even works out.
