Well, thanks for the HU! Was about to buy a GC from the bay to combine with this, too.
you can combine an egc iirc. just not a physical gc that has a pin#.
Argh, I thought the VIB 10% could be used in conjunction with the GC, but was told no in store :( I purposely didn't call about an adjustment for my black Friday purchases (I got my 10% sent on the 27th!) because I figured I would just use it when I used that $20. Do you think I might be able to sweet talk them to letting me get the adjustment from BF, even though it's been awhile?
doesn't hurt to try... sephora csr's are normally very nice. and the vib should work online... why don't you just place an order?
Is the expiration date for the $15 codes 12/12 or 12/13? TIA!
there are both. i've received both of them... i'm surprised they have 2 end dates actually - how are they going to keep track of them all?!
how do you put in the bday gift? is it a code or just automatic?
It's automatic if you're in the time frame- you'll see the prompt for it.
:iagree: this! there is also a code for it i think - search in this thread a few pages back. but i was able to get mine automatically when i placed an order in my bday month.

After spending a few hundred in 2 weeks, there's nothing else I need. Oh well.

I used mine on the sephora by OPI nail polish. My total was $1.14 shipped (including tax). Pretty good deal since the nail polish is $9.50. I also used the code PHILOSKIN for a free 1 oz. bottle of purity made simple :)

I know, that's what sucks, I have to deal with roundabout shipping (ship to myself and package it up again and send it out). It won't get there by Christmas, but hopefully a January surprise is good too! :)
How long does it take for a sephora order to process. Should I wait till my order ships before placing another order with a $15 gc from the same acct? Thanks!

I don't know if it's because they're super busy, but this seems to be normal for now. For my last few orders I didn't receive any confirmations, but I manually logged into my Sephora account and saw that they were processed and shipped. Hope this helps! :)

Yep! I spread mine out over the past week - 1 or 2 a day - because I was worried about my account getting flagged. However, others posted that they used theirs right after one another and none of their orders got cancelled or anything. HTH!

I've never heard of anyone getting their account flagged at Sephora for buying too much (unlike at VS, who will flag your account for anything and everything).
The only thing I've ever heard Sephora flagging an account for is excessive returns. I had asked an SA when I was returning a cleanser I was allergic to if it was okay that I did 2 returns at the same time and she just laughed and said that was nothing compared to what some people do- you have to return a couple times a week for weeks before they get suspicious. Even then, it's returns without a receipt that throw up the most red flags!

Well, it's still 80 degrees here, so I'll go based of what people are still wearing :lol:
I personally go for reds & pinks and I have these OPI ones and like them:
It's All About Me (bright pink, but not obnoxious)
Cover Me in Petals (coral-y red, very complementary to whatever you're wearing)
Fiercely Fabulous (perfect shade of red)
in Sephora brand:
Jealous (pretty coral, more orange than pink)
My personal recommendation is Cover Me in Petals, but that's just preference on my part :)

Yes, more likely than not you used it as the ones that come in mail are the same as the emailed ones. You can always double check the balance on the gift card in the gift card section of the site. It will probably be $0.

how did you guys get your orders to under a $1? Seems like my order had to be $15+ before I could use the code, and then $5.95 shipping was tacked on.

Is anyone's orders taking longer now to ship? My first 2 orders came within 3 days but my orders from the 12th and 13th have not shipped yet.
The last of mine from the 12th & 13th shipped, but won't be here until the 20th.
how did you guys get your orders to under a $1? Seems like my order had to be $15+ before I could use the code, and then $5.95 shipping was tacked on.
I did $10 orders and paid $1.55. I would assume others did $9 orders and paid under $1.

i had a really nice sephora customer service experience i would like to share today :)
i placed an order on monday and used the promotion code nailpups to get the trio of tokidoki nail buffers and when they arrived today they looked all faded and crappy so i called sephora to see if i could possibly get new ones even though i know it's a freebie/promotion. and the guy was super nice and credited my account with an addition 100 points instead! :)

My order total ended up being 8.65, and then the shipping put it over $15. I think that if you go over the $15, they're less likely to make it not go through. But that's totally conjecture.
I was able to get such a low total just by looking through items I was actually interested in, and then seeing if any were on sale, and then finding one I would have actually bought in that. It took a little while, because I didn't want to buy something I wouldn't use. Also, their Sale category doesn't show everything that's on sale, and you kind of have to look around for the things that are low priced to use as a "filler" to bump up the total too, which can be a pain. Hope that helps some!
Here's my actual order too:
Sample - John Varvatos Star U.S.A Eau de Toilette - 0.04 oz 1371780 $0.00 1 $0.00
Sample - Diane von Furstenberg Diane Eau de Toilette - 0.04 oz 1384049 $0.00 1 $0.00
Sample - Betsey Johnson Too Too Eau de Parfum - 0.06 oz 1378918 $0.00 1 $0.00
OPI for SEPHORA Nail Colour - Sale - Tempted By Teal 1335132 $6.65 1 $6.65
SEPHORA COLLECTION Professional Emery Board 121186 $2.00 1 $2.00
Sephora Sephora Felt Sleeve for iPhone 1378652 $0.00 1 $0.00

It was the Anastasia Brow Kit that was in the sale section for $16 (I got it with the 20% off) so I paid $12.80 and she gave me back $32. And the second was the Buxom Mascara and eyeliner duo that I think was a Black Friday special for $10, and she gave me $23. So total return with tax was $59.26!

I think it's a cute set if you don't already have anything Philosophy, but personally I already have enough to get through so I'm skipping this. So far, none of the 500 point perks have appealed to me. But at least you can save the points up!

get the mia 2 - it has 2 speeds and the normal speed irritates a lot of ppl, so it's good to get one that can do the 'low' speed. it costs more but i think it's worth it!
mufe hd foundation made me super oily within hours. i am NOT oily. i usually have pretty dry skin - not sure why this foundy did this! just fyi - might be good to get samples first if you can.
sephora brushes are pretty good in general but i don't really use them. i've built up a large collection and my most-used brushes are not the sephora ones. ecotools makes awesome brushes and they're cheap!

i like buying online but you're right, i should sample the foundations first and see how my skin reacts. i get oily though, so i wonder if the muf hd would make me even oilier. i bought the eco tools 6 piece eyeshadow brush set, and while they're very soft, i'm not sure if it's the best application for me--or maybe i'm bad at make up application :coverlaf:

For makeup brushes, I really love the Bare Minerals ones. I got the EcoTools set and thought they were okay, but the powder brush is terrible. It's very dense and not fluffy at all and picks up WAY too much product. I would just stick to their eyeshadow brushes.

Exactly. I don't recall reading that the holiday GCs could only be used by the account to which they were sent.
And so now I can't purchase anything from Sephora online. I guess it's in stores or look elsewhere at this point.

That's terrible! :hug: Like someone else said, if they're so bothered by it then they shouldn't allow it. Or just cancel the multiple orders.

My entire address is blocked, regardless of which credit card is used. Perhaps I could have orders shipped to my parents' home instead but I haven't tried that yet.
I've always heard that Sephora doesn't easily blacklist customers. It happened to me, so I thought I'd give others a heads up too.

Do you return often? They definitely blacklist for a lot of returns, or more than a few returns without receipt. If they blacklist me I would be pissed!!! I am such a good customer of theirs! If you call and complain to a manager, they might re-instate your address.

I called today and assured them I wasn't trying to scam anyone-- I just wasn't aware of the promo gc restriction. I asked if my address could be reinstated and the guy said that he couldn't but "the team who deals with that" would get back to me within a few days, so we'll see how that goes.

I was blacklisted as well for using too many gift cards (bought too many at ebay) I DID NOT EVER return anything (I was making over 4 orders a day). After New Years, any new order immediately gets cancelled. I use 2 email addresses, both VIB, both blocked. Now my boyfriend buys my stuff :(

they said that too me too, but I am still blocked. I would move on using a new I.P. address. They don't block your shipping address (I still get orders using the same shipping address), what they do is block your i.p. just use a new computer with a new email, and you will be fine. That is what I am doing (using my credit card BUT my boyfriend's laptop and his email address) (I never knew you could get banned from buying too much!) I don't think they ever lift blocks ever.

They don't block your shipping address (I still get orders using the same shipping address), what they do is block your i.p. just use a new computer with a new email, and you will be fine. That is what I am doing (using my credit card BUT my boyfriend's laptop and his email address) (I never knew you could get banned from buying too much!) I don't think they ever lift blocks ever.
Oh wow. :(
I mostly just wanted to make a purchase to get my birthday gift and redeem my BI points (I don't like any of the 100 point perks in stores). At this point though, I'm pretty annoyed with Sephora and will order online from them if I really need to-- otherwise I plan on looking elsewhere.
Thanks for letting me know about the IP thing though!

Do you return often? They definitely blacklist for a lot of returns, or more than a few returns without receipt. If they blacklist me I would be pissed!!! I am such a good customer of theirs! If you call and complain to a manager, they might re-instate your address.
you can get banned for making too many orders in one day, I got 2 email accounts blocked. 1 for using too many gift cards that were bought on fleabay, the other for too many orders in a reasonable period (they believe you are a reseller at that point). I told them I wasn't, it was just christmas season but they did not believe me. I made 2 separate calls for both accounts and nothing have changed. I think they started doing the banhammer when the VIB gift card season started.

I'm sure sorry this happened to you all but I hope they don't cut out the gift cards next year! I've never heard of a company blacklisting someone because they buy too much - wow! I buy tons from them but I don't resell, it's all for me. :lol:

I think you'll be fine in store (perhaps even online; it seems not everyone was blacklisted-- maybe there was a random check?).
I bought a couple items in store after Christmas with no hassles.

Blah, I hate not knowing. I'm debating on the Sultra Bombshell (anyone have this?) and would prefer this to be one of the few things I'll buy online to get some cashback though e bates, but I don't want to mess anything up.

If you have a store near by, you can go pick up your gift without purchase, you just have to give them your email or BI number.

Yea, I was planning on doing that for the birthday gift. As for the BI point perk...I guess I'll keep an eye out in stores in case something good comes up. Do they ever have deluxe sample fragrances as point perks in store or is that only online?

I thought it was available both places but maybe not, I guess best thing to do is when you see it online, call your store and see if they have it there for the BI pts to.

All this talk of blacklisting makes me nervous. I placed 10 orders with the VIB/BI GCs. I spread them out over a couple of weeks and over two different accounts, but I haven't tried to place any orders since then, so I have no clue if I was blacklisted. Do you only know after you hit the button to place the order or does it come up before then during the checkout process?

Unless you call CS directly to ask, I think they only way to find out if your account is blacklisted is when you hit the submit button on an order and it won't go through. Hopefully you got lucky!

I did at least 10 too grabbing gifts on my VIB acct. I just ordered some extra T3 rollers for my hot roller set, seemed to go through fine and submitted itself and I just got the confirmation. It sounds like if I was blacklisted it wouldn't have gone through?
ETA: if you don't have a UD palette already, get a naked or a naked2 palette, I seriously use mine every day. I can buy a million shadows, I just always seem to come back to UD for their staying power and pigment.
I guess we all need to make an order and buy more to see if sephora will allow us to buy more? :lol:

I made two purchases last week and everything was fine. I only used 1 VIB gc and 1 or 2 BI gc's, it's terrible but I can't remember how many I used. I checked my history and I made 43 online purchases last year with 8 returns and although I think that number of returns isn't excessive for that amount of purchases I will be more careful now before returning something.

Thanks! I keep going back forth between the Naked 1 and the Naked 2. I like the shades of the Naked 1 better, but from what I've read the Naked 2 would probably be better for my skin tone (pale with cool undertones).

checked that. it does not say anything about returns. only contains my online orders. some of the orders i had returned a thing or two but none of them shows those returns. I placed 2 orders on jan 3, one shipped one canceled because of unsuccessful authorization. nothing is wrong with my credit card. sephora automatically canceled the second order. not sure what is going on. i certainly spend a lot with them. i have 5 accounts with them and each has an average of 4000 points so I am certain that I spend A LOT with them. Still have some receipts that total a few hundreds points that I bought when i forgot to bring my cards, lol. need to call to add those points in....

A few of my orders also had "unsuccessful authorization." even though I only used 1 credit card. If worse comes to worse, you can ALWAYS redeem your points at a store with a small purchase, if they block you, they only block you online, not in stores.

Well, that's a first for me with Sephora. They cancelled half of my order from yesterday because one of the items was out of stock even though it was in stock when I ordered early in the morning yesterday. That then put the order below $25 so that cancelled my Algenist skin cream deluxe sample worth $24. On top of that, the out of stock eye shadow came back into stock right before I received the cancellation email from them. Sephora usually does better than that and it's not even Christmas now so they can't be all that busy.

Definitely YMMV, but I went to my local JCP Sephora and all of their Oscar Blandi hair care products were on sale on the cheap cheap! I got the Volumizing Spray for $4. They also had the dry shampoo for $5 or the small purse size for $3. The root touch-up pens were $5, Smoothing Shampoo and conditioners I think were $4, and some kind of conditioning hair treatment -- I believe that was $8.

Oh, on Sephora's fb page, I believe due to some complaints by beauty insiders not being included, they changed the code requirements to allow bi to use the code with any skincare purchase and 100 bi points whether you have the actual 100 points available at the moment or not. Meaning, a bi with no bi points will have a negative 100 points after redeeming the DRENCH code, etc. It's no big deal for me because I think the Ole Hendrickson choice is really nice versus the usual 100 pt option of a lipgloss or a deluxe mascara sample, etc. hth.

Nope, it's now a little red cosmetics case with sample packets in it. The eyeshadow kit is one of those ones on a sample card as well.
It looks like a cute sample kit though! If I didn't already have a gazillion samples it would be tempting.
