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:

Do you knOw if VIBs get early access? I've been waiting for an email but have not heard anything!

Supposedly VIBs will get access on the 17th and the Nov. VIB only sale is Nov. 8. The only thing I might get is a NARS lip pencil. I wish the discount was 25% & 30% like it use to be, it would make me want to buy more. I do better buying my beauty items at Nordstrom and Neimans to get my points.

Hmm... so I just called the VIB line because I needed help finding a product in a local Sephora store. I asked again about F&F, and the consultant (confidently) told me that Sephora is changing their approach to F&F this year and will just be doing the online Spin to Win. Crap. Now I have to go to my usual Sephoras to get a consultant I know to add me to their friends and family list...

So are they just doing the Spin to Win during the Friends and Family, and then doing the VIB discount a week or two later like they did last year, or are they just doing away with the VIB discount as a whole?

I googled around about sephora F&F 2012 and nordysgal seems to be correct in that they're limiting it to friends and family of sephora employee's only. That's not cool. I feel like they're making a big mistake in all of a sudden changing it. I mean, what's the point of being a VIB (and spending all that money) anyway besides the perks we get such as early access? *sigh* this is so disappointing. Maybe with enough customer complaints they'll make it available to everyone? I was really looking forward to F&F, now I'm just super bummed.

EDIT
So apparently they do this every year and say that it'll only be to F&F of sephora employees but they always end up opening it up to the public. :shrugs::confused1:

The Spin the wheel promotion has been replaced with a Beauty Insider only promotion of selecting 5 samples per order until the 17th. The Sephora associates have their discount cards to give out, whether are not the discount will be offered on-line like last year won't be clear until the 18th. VIBs should have a seperate discount in Novemever which happens every year. I stopped being a VIB years ago because its no longer worth it.

Supposedly it's suppose to be a sales strategy. They just had the "spin to win" 10% off codes, and something similar happened last year where they were waiting for people to cave in and use the 10% off code. Then when orders come to a standstill or they want more sales, they pull out the 20% codes.

It is true though that they do have a 20% VIB event in November though. So we'll just have to wait another month if by the 17th or 18th we don't get an email or postcard.
