I'm pretty sure you can make more than one purchase with the 20% card/print-out until the 14th. I didn't purchase that much but I saved quite a bit of $ and somehow got two extra tote bags without even asking! they didn't have any free samples to give away though, unless you chose to cash in your points... so I chose to save mine.

U can use it till the end, I asked :)
 
The Sephora I went to last night was pretty dead. As I was checking at the SA asked another SA "what about the other style of totes, where are they?" the other SA said in an erked low tone, "there are no other totes"...she knew what she was talking about, the other girl implied, "yes there is, where are they? other SA just shot her a look and she didn't say a word. So I asked "what other totes?" she said "these are cuteier". I got the black one and the SA was going to give me both if she knew where the other one was so I guess those were reserved for when the black go OOS, would like to see what those look like.
 
Sephora I went last night was so busy. They gave away chocolates and the line at checkout was soooooooo long.

I had to wait for half an hour(was browsing stuff meanwhile anyways...love doing that) for SA to help me out to match foundation and concealer.
Never seen such a big crowd in Sephora before.

they were giving away black totes(the one displayed in their email) before and once they were out of them they started giving the white ones.

Its nothing special and people who didnt get it arent missing much.
I can post picture(i should see how to do on tpf) of bag if anyone want to see.

I bought : BB HD foundation.
Coverfx concealer
sephora lipstick (lipshine,forgot the name)
stilla eyeshadow
nothing special, but SA tried out everything on me and they looked great.

they had fresh set(which was mentioned above) as a 500 point perk.
I didnt go for it though!

For sure if you want to go to sephora in the days like these, you should have like good couple of free hours :)
 
Yesterday, my Sephora was crazy :jammin::rochard::party: they had a dj, chocolates, and reps from Philosophy, Clarisonic, Bliss, Nars, etc...it was fun chatting with the reps. So glad I'm finally getting the Mia(ordered online). I picked up 2 Nars blushes, Nars bronzer, Bliss body wash and lotion, Boscia blot sheets and a few goodies for DH. I waited in line for 20-35 mins with 4" heels :push: I got a black tote with my purchase.
 
I went out to the event last night a little after 6pm when it started and the Sephora I went to did not have any totes, unless they were all gone in 10 minutes. They did however have small goodie bags prepared to hand out at the door that had a 1 oz Philosophy Purity Cleanser, 3 0.5oz Ole Henriksen Truth Serum Collagen Booster samples, a Sephora logo mirror, and an Algenist Overnight Restorative Cream sample.

They didn't offer me a choice of a point perk item and I don't know if that was because of how busy they were and the cashier just forgot or if they just ran out of things to offer. I don't think I have ever seen a Sephora so crowded, it was difficult to walk through the aisles and when I got in line even will all the registers open there were still 14people in front of me. They did give me my voucher back so I may make an online purchase before the sale ends.
 
I went to Sephora at Block 37 (Chicago) last night before 6pm, and it was manageable, but a bit more foot traffic. All the MUA had someone in their chairs already. I received a Sephora compact mirror and one small piece of chocolate.
 
hmm... i was in sephora yesterday and i didnt see anything event-like there! and its not a terribly busy sephora either so im wondering if not every store had the event going on?

Ditto, I even heard one of the SAs ask another what was going on! I wanted a white tote like the one pictured but I don't think they had them, just the cloth black one.. No samples or snacks, just 1 piece of chocolate. Last year they had sparking cider and chocolates and samples. I was disappointed.
 
I didn't end up getting much this weekend, but I did get/planning to get these:

L'Occitaine hand cream trio and the 5-count hand cream set
MUFE Lip line perfector
Caudalie beauty elixir (love this)
Caudalie Vinexpert firming serum (i've heard rave reviews)
Alterna Bamboo glossy hair kit (travel size)
OPI nail polish Stop Stocking Me (purple)
YSL Pur Gloss in #6 which is a beautiful plum red - perfect for the holidays! I've never tried these before and I am pleased that they feel so moisturizing and the color is so rich. There is also a #14 that is a similar color but with a bit more glittery effect - the store I was in was OOS of this one and it's not online! The hunt begins ...

I'm ordering:
Two skincare kits from Anthony Logistics
I may order Fan di Fendi - it's nice but I don't need fragrance right now
 
aw, i didnt see this thread, i posted my VIB purchase in the make up forum.

i let my sister use it too, we went xmas shopping together.

i will say the store was dead on sunday, but they were out of most of the shades of the items i wanted. i had to do a couple of subsitutions.

i didnt even get the cloth tote or the chocolate, lol.
 
It's almost time.

This years event is October 18-31st.


I'm hoping they have those AMAZING 100 perks this year like last.

Did anyone go to the store last year and did they have the full sized 100 point perks there as well?

I'm giddy once again.

:choochoo:
