hah -- because for years, the F&F are usually open to the public as well, with a code that can be used multiple times. last year, it became a one time use code for each email address. This year, it is closed up and one can only get it if you know someone who works at sephora.

We don't like change...specifically one that denies us a 20% off discount! ;)

Sephora is NOTHING like it use to be and I've been over it, I told the Sephora girl I wasn't interested in getting a code this year. Its been 4 years since I've been a VIB and when you would get 25% & 30% off twice a year and full size perks. They came up with the Rouge program to trick people into spending more money and there has been no incentive for joining. I get way better perks doing my beauty shopping at Nordstrom & Neiman Marcus.

I've been reading some news that sephora no longer ships to freight forwarders... This is the only way us non-US girls can order from sephora short of having a friend order from us. Can anyone who uses freight forwarders to buy from sephora confirm this?

I got emailed a f&f code and I also have a $10 groupon. Is there any way I could buy from a sephora store to get both discounts?

I don't think so. Sephora usually only allows you to use one code per purchase (I'm assuming that the Groupon is a code). If it comes in the form of a gift card, I'm pretty sure you can use the F&F code and then the gift certificate as a payment method in the same transaction.

i just did the same thing - ordered online ---- the f&F code is entered in the code section --- my groupon was from when they had the $5 for $10 -- that one is like a gift card, so it goes into a different box -- i applied both to my order

Wasn't last year's VIB discount 15%?:thinkin: or am I thinking about something else?



This has been my experience too. Granted, I didn't purposely plan to spend over $1K at Sephora but I will tell you this...getting to this Rouge level and not really seeing the benefit of it has REALLY made me rethink my beauty spending in general.:cool:

I believe it was 20% last year. Last year it started on Nov. 8, if I remember correctly.

sephora is so and so for me

at 10-15% it doesn't make much difference (plus they kept emailing me about that if I use 1k pts to redeem)

when my tax is pretty high

i might as well

I feel the same way. I'd been saving up my pennies for this one, and now im afraid i wont be able to get a coupon:( being VIB seems to have lost its luster.

The 20% off VIB sale should be starting in November. Sephora has two sales: the F&F sale and the VIB sale. Everyone used to be able to participate in both (whether that was Sephora's intention or not), but this year, those that don't get a code from a Sephora staff member have to wait until the VIB sale in early November. So you still will get 20% off.

I guess when I wrote that above, I should have added that you will still get 20% off...If anything is still in stock. I look a look and the first three things I looked up were out of stock. I wonder whether Sephora's will replenish their stock before the VIB sale. If I remember correctly, I had this same issue last year, in that quite a few of the items I wanted were out of stock when the VIB sale began.
