I haven’t gotten a VIB email in ages. My sephora account says I’m still a VIB, and I know I’ve spent more than $350 at sephora this year alone. I emailed customer support and they said they’d reset my email settings and should start getting them within the month, but I didn’t. Don’t know what to do and how to redeem the 15% with out the email! 🙁

Hello Lucie! I actually work for a Sephora! You can just go to a Sephora store and when you go to make your purchase, it will show up in the system that you are a VIB and you can get you 15% off and your tote! Also, the 15% off is good for that whole week so it can be re used multiple times! Hope this helps! 🙂 Happy Shopping VIB and Thank You!

Alison Avatar

Agreed. I have over six hundred points and I’m totally glad they don’t expire because I haven’t redeemed them in ages. All the cool stuff is gone before I even know about it.

ValentinaB Avatar

I totally agree…been shopping at other sites or manufacturers’ sites instead for better perks and sales. Sephora has really been slacking on the goods lately. They use to have much better perks and discounts.

yes, i have the same question, it says that it’s not valid online so I’m thinking not. 🙁 sad i wish this would be in Canada too

Adrienne Avatar

I’m so excited for the tote even though I dont need another free one lol! I’m going just to get Jack Black lip balm for my boyfriend because he keeps stealing mine! Later in the week (i.e. when I get paid again) I’m going to try to use that and my intro to VIB 10 percent off for the Sultra Siren but I highly doubt it’ll work cus it says cant be combined but I’m going to try anyways!!

Does anyone think I should go with the Siren or some other dryer?? thanks!

Christine — I read your review on T3′s Featherweight Dryer from March 2008. Three years later, are you still loving it? Are you using the same dryer or have you replaced it? The reviews on Amazon and Sephora are mixed, so curious what you think after three years of use. Thanks!

I like shopping at Sephora, but I feel like the V.I.B. program in Canada sucks. We have to spend $500 instead of $350! And the awesome sales, GWP’s and discounts pretty much never apply to Canadian orders. For spending $100 I can get a lousy, tiny sample…. yaaayy….

BW Avatar

So just to be clear, the 15% off is only for VIB’s not any Beauty Insider card holder? My friend told me about this the other day but I told her I couldnt get the discount b/c Im not VIB. If Beauty Insiders can get the 15% discount, how do we do that in-store?
Thanks.

Babs Avatar

You don’t have to be a VIB to qualify for the 15%. Beauty Insiders get the same 15%, but have to wait one day later: VIBs get the discount from 4/14-4/21, BIs get the discount from 4/15-4/21.

Emily Avatar

I was so excited to finally be a VIB this year, but the perks have been ridiculous. Why do beauty insiders get the same percentage off as the more loyal customers?

Jenn Avatar

Just because we can’t afford to spend as much on cosmetics doesn’t mean BI are any less loyal than VIB’s. VIB’s do get an extra discount when they become VIB’s.

I hope I get my email soon, I don’t order Sephora online! There’s just too many within walking distance to justify the shipping and waiting for packages. I’m too impatient haha.

I’ve also noticed they haven’t really been sending coupons recently. I thought I was just disregarding them by mistake. Glad to know it’s not just me!

Melissa Avatar

Hmm, I looked on Sephora’s facebook (though what good that really is I am unsure as I don’t have facebook haha) and didn’t see much. Maybe I’ll get the email tomorrow?

I had to order the Kat Von D – Angeles palette online because it was online only – usually i wouldnt do that, but this palette looks pretty legit; i should’ve waited for this discount though!!

Tanushree Avatar

Christine can you do a post on what you would recommend from Sephora’s sale like you did with Bobbi Brown?…that would be awesome!

I’m skipping a class on Thursday so I can go to this! YAY! It’s my least favorite class and the professor won’t even notice. I still feel like a badass though :). I don’t even know what to get… I need foundation, but I’m about to go to Cancun for spring break and I don’t want to get anything before my skin tone gets darker!

Sophie Avatar

I don’t understand why Sephora is so keen on shutting Canadians out of the deal online. I just tried to make an order. Since I live close to the US border, I sometimes ship things across the border and go down to pick it up (great for US-only promos or free shipping). As soon as I tried to use the code, I was recognized as a Canadian VIB and it wouldn’t go through! When I took the discount code out – everything worked fine.

MJ Avatar

Sephora has really dropped the ball on their BI program. I break my purchases down to which store do I get the best reward/value from. First I go to Ulta. They have great coupons, it’s easy to rack up points and get big savings on products I REALLY want. I only go to Sephora when a product is exclusive to them. In fact I’ll go to department stores before I’ll go to Sephora since I get better rewards there.

ValentinaB Avatar

Yep, I now only shop at Sephora when the item is exclusive to Sephora. I use to shop pretty much exclusively at Sephora but since their perks and VIB/BI program have gone downhill these days, not any more!

Adrienne Avatar

I’m so annoyed with Sephora; I’m finally VIB and the perks really aren’t all that great. Being VIB isn’t all that great if all I get is one extra day to shop ahead than any regular shopper. They should have way bigger deluxe samples to justify spending 100 bucks with them, they aren’t many exclusives for VIBs, and the 500 points should really have more than one option!! I’m starting to like Ulta more bc you can rack up more points faster but I absolutely despise they’re coupons which are always misleading and exclude everything I do want. Meh, I already used my coupon on the Clarisonic Mia. I’ve had had my eye on that baby for months now.
