went to my local sephora just to see if they would honor the F&F. i was browsing around when one SA came up and asked if i needed help. i asked her "are you guys honoring the friends and family sale in store?" and she smiled and said "yep!" so then i wandered around and got my things and then went up to the check out. another SA rang me out and i said "i was told that you guys are honoring the F&F sale" and she hesitantly and quietly said "yes......." and then said "did you bring the print out?" and i said no and she just said "ok"
so i was able to get the discount anyways, but there must be an email out there somewhere.

I only got my MUFE foundation and the new UDPP. got some samples of new hair serum to try so once i see if i like either of them then i'll probably purchase that and my urban decay eyeliner online.

and it turns out i have like 1200 BI points lol but my sephora only had some sephora set for the 500 but I got some hair stuff for 100 points.

If you're in Canada, you could always try maybe shipping to a third party shipper type thing to get the 20% off? I don't know how it works, but it might be a way around it...

i think i remember someone last year who was from canada but she had a mailbox on the US side to ship to. but because her CC was canadian they will wouldn't give her the F&F discount even though she was mailing to a US address.

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.

they're only once a year, usually november i think but this year it's early

I felt sorry for the other 8 people in line with me at my Sephora who had no idea there was a sale in progress. I thought it a little bit of a bummer that they secretly give out cards to some, while everyone else around the store was paying full price... I wasn't going to say anything tho, I felt it wasn't my business or place to do so.

Seems just a little shady...like if you are going to blast to the world via social networks about the sale, you can at least honor it if someone mentions it in the store.

There needs to be a secret F&F handshake or something, lol.

Also, how long does it take for beauty points to get put into the account? Just placed my order yesterday, but was wondering.

HAHAHA!! I can't believe how disorganiized this sale is and that the store employees aren't even educated enough to know that it is for anyone that finds their ads for the FF code online but fir online use only. Sheesh! I guess for in store shopping it is for friends and family but online it's for anyone??? That makes no sense at all.

in the past its been discreet! at least at my local sephora! this time around--not so much. i already placed my order of skincare stuff online (cleanser, moisturizer, toner and mask) plus some mascara but wanted to test the eyeliners in person. :p i browsed around and they were having some people from SUPER give out free....er.....facial? or testing out their stuff..some lady approached me while i was looking over some eye cream and asked if i wanted to try..wasn't bad but wasn't impressed enough to buy but i didn't want to say so in her face..

so she goes, cos she sees i'm hesitant, i think she thinks cos of the price. "did you hear about the friends and family discount? you can totally save with it!"

i guess its open at some stores and not at others?

walked out with some brushes, two eyeliner (am thinking of whether i should get more online now that i've seen it IRL..usually use chanel's which they don't carry) and some serum/lotions.

Last year I just happened to be in the store on a day of the sale, total luck.

There was a line of about 30 people and my mom asked someone why it was so busy. Only then did I know there was a sale. I had to mention it to the cashier, or I would have been one of the people paying full price.

I suppose though, the idea of "Friends & Family" taken literally, would mean just that. I don't know anyone who works there, I guess I'm super lucky I got in on the sale! Once again, thanks to tPF!!
