As you can see, the image I have is quite small, so I can’t make out much of the fine print. Hopefully, I will have those details for you soon…
I really want to get that Dior Crush Glow palette after seeing your review – the palette ust looks so gorgeous.. So hopefully they’ll have that in stores when I stop by. Outside of that I’m wanting to pick up some MUFE aqua eyeliners, and anything else that catches my eye ;P
I got one in my e-mail so I’m sure other people will too! =)
making a cart now!
guess i can stock up some more NARS stuff…maybe some marc jacobs frangrance ^^
gah, i’m a VIB but never got the email, and i don’t currently live at home so i never got the physical voucher. Any idea how i could find it without having to shop online? i want to get matched for a Tarte Tinted moisturizer!
I think the emails will go out tomorrow or the 8th!
I got the email already. Sometimes when I don’t receive their email I call Sephora and they allow me to make the order over the phone with the discount
guerlain Rouge G gerdenia =)
running low on my makeupforever HD full coverage foundation. gotta restock
I wish the V.I.B. discount was higher since V.I.B.s are supposed to get “exclusive” deals.. They’re the same deal!! Anyways, Urban Decay is having their FF sale too.. 30% off. “1SFNF” so if you plan to buy lots of UD, just get it from their site!
I hope Canadians get to delight in the 15% off too! :p
Hilarious! Two minutes after I post that comment, I get an email for 15% in Canada! Yay! (Stores only. They need to sort out the website so Canadians can use offer codes online too!)
I didn’t get an email yet. Are you VIB, or regular BI?
My email offer was for VIBs! (Hopefully they send it to BIs too!)
Seriously!!! I have actually sent Sephora customer service a couple of e-mails in the past complaining about that.
I didn’t get anything either 🙁
My list so far:
Urban Decay Summer of Love Shadow Palette
Too Faced Lip Insurance
Korres Peach Mango lipstick
replacement Clarisonic brush head
Gah.. I seriously cannot decide if I want to get the Guerlain Meteorites or not… or which one!
Hi Christine!
Do you know whether the Beautiy Insider sale is available to Canada as well?
I can’t read the fine print at this time, sorry!
Update:
Mines was waiting for me in my mailbox when I got home.
Korres blush on sale if the sale is still on. Probably Dior eye shadows too!
I wonder if UD planned their F&F sale to compete with this? I love competition. =)
OMG I LOVE THIS SALE! I really like the UD F&F sale, but other than UDPP, I really don’t use any UD products.
Can anyone recommend a foundation for acne prone combination skintone? I’m looking into the YSL one and Nars sheer glow since everyone raves about them. I’ve been using Khiel’s tinted moisturizer for the longest time because I hate the feeling of heavy foundation… but i feel like it’s time for me to perfect (or hide) my skin again! Any recommendations would be much appreciated! Thanks!
shiseido sheer matifying compact.
i have very oily/combination skin with acne/acne scars. i was using mineral foundation for couple years now, but my dermatologist told me mineral fd can cause breakout for some ppl. so i switched to shiseido, and i’m loving this soo much. it sucks up the oil, covers well, and my acne calmed down. highly recommended!
I too have acne prone skin and have alot of hyperpigmentation from acne. I was given a sample of Korres Ginger and Vitamin Lightweight foundation at one of the Sephora stores and fell in love with it. It is water-based foundation, very hydrating.
I heard great things about MUFE matte foundation, and will ask for a sample next time I stop by Sephora stores.
try the neutragena skin makeup thing that everyone is talking about! in my opinion, it is a good dupe for nars sheet glow AND it says that helps blemishes! it’s a bit more affordable too =)
waiting on my email!
I’m so jealous VIBs get it early. Hope the stuff I want isn’t sold out, sigh.
I’m hoping I get this coupon via regular mail or email (maybe they’ll send it out later this week) because it is an opportunity to save on the more expensive makeup (e.g., NARS and MUFE).
I’m in Canada and I got an email! Yay! It’s in store only-but Yay!
i’m a beauty insider, how come i didn’t get an email 🙁
Hi Christine, I wanted to make a request of you, if you get the chance to read this comment. I really enjoy your website and the classy way you do things here, what with the LimeCrime drama and just in how you take the time to answer comments, even though I’m sure you are swamped with them. It really seems like you put a lot of love into this website!
Was just curious if you’d ever swatch all the MAC your-lips-but-better pinky nude lipstick colors side by side, like Blankety, Hue, Modesty, Brave, Kinda Sexy, etc. I’m trying to buy a color sight unseen because we don’t have a MAC counter in my town, and just going off the descriptions to see which one has enough mauve/brown tones to be flattering on cool fair skin. It’d be a lot easier with side by side swatches, though! If you get the chance, or feel like doing a swatch post of lipsticks, I’d really appreciate the pinks grouped together like that. At any rate, I love your blog and will continue reading to see the reviews of high end products (love your lancome and bobbi brown reviews especially!!) and see what’s new in terms of product launches. Thank you for all that you to do make make up shopping more fun! 🙂
Kind regards,
Lisa
Hi Lisa,
Thanks so much!
I don’t own all of those, but I did swatch all of MAC’s permanent lipsticks (at the time and whatever was *there*) here – http://www.temptalia.com/mac-cosmetics-lipstick-swatches-on-skin
I also did paper swatches…

I wish I could be more helpful! 🙁
i just got mine thrugh email as well but what i really want are chanel’s rouge coco lipsticks 🙁
I’m totally hauling! Haven’t decided exactly what yet, but I have $65 in gift cards from my birthday and I’m definitely getting the Shu Uemura Face Architect Foundation. We’ll see!
I just got my discount coupon via e-mail. I didn’t get mine in the mail like you did. I sure hope no one swiped my coupon in the mail and plans on using it. If someone gets a hold of my coupon card in the mail and uses it, will that void out my coupon e-mailed to me?
No, I don’t think so. I think a lot of the barcodes/codes are the same.
Thank you thank you for posting this info up! I have been holding out on picking up the MUFE Face and Body Foundation, waiting for a coupon. If you didn’t post this up, I would’ve waltzed in there tomorrow and bought it because I am getting so tired of waiting!
Hi Christine,
I can’t seem to sign up as beauty insider 🙁 i think it’s only available for US resident. Do you think i can use the print out of the voucher to make an in-store purchase? i’m going to US ard next week.
Perhaps if you have a U.S. address of a relative or friend you could use?
I’m not actually entirely sure I need anything. Hm. But I might take the opportunity to get a backup of my Korres TM at a discount. I’m thiiinking about getting a Dior Skinshimmer Star, but I am so in love with Benefit High Beam right now that I’m not sure I’d ever use it.
Darn I wish I was at a VIB status there!
I’ve been waiting for one of these yet now that its here, I don’t even know what I want. Anyone have any suggestions? I think I’m in a makeup buying funk. lol.
Picked up a few of the Tokidoki eyeshadows and a Juicy tote 🙂
Hi Christine! Could you recommend a good moisturizer that is available at Sephora?
What kind of skin do you have?
My favorite is Kate Somerville’s Oil-Free Moisturizer!
Thanks for the heads up! I ordered some of the more expensive things on my wish list, a Mother’s Day gift, and some presents for my sister’s upcoming b-day. 🙂
I have several things on my list, but I need to wait until my next paycheck! Do you know if Sephora runs out of the goods during these sales usually?
They do run out of some things – lots of stuff stays in stock, but there are definitely things that go out of stock 🙁
Hi, I wanted to know if there is going to be a Sephora friends and family coupon anytime this month because if I’m not wrong, didn’t Sephora have f&f event twice a year or is this V.I.B spring makeup madness 15% sale taking over it? thanks.
Sephora F&F is only once a year, in November!
We have the F&F event tonight in Canada!
yay! i just placed an order for the pink clarisonic mia & the harajuku lovers sunshine cuties love edt. can’t wait 😀
Sounds like I’m the only one who thinks 15 percent is NOT worth it!
Nah, I’m definitely skipping on this one, too. I have too much to save for, like MAC’s beach-themed and cat-themed collections.
Just to confirm can the online code be used multiple times thoughout the promotion like the in-store coupon?
I think so!
I just made a purchase at my Sephora today and they told me I could only use the in-store coupon once 🙁
I’m going to try it again though.
Aww 🙁
I really can’t understand why you would only be able to use it once. Plus the “fine print” doesn’t say that.
I want some more urban decay eyeliners , but I feel that it would be cheaper to use the urban decay discount
Canadians only get 10% off and our prices are higher 🙁
It’s definitely 15% for us too!!! But yeah, our prices are higher 🙁
It’s ridiculous. Our dollar is almost equal to the US right now!! I’m planning on swatching a few things at Holt and the Bay, and then checking to see if I can buy for cheaper from Nordstrom/Neimans/etc online. I know Canadian orders can use the free shipping codes on from Neimans. It’s stupid how often we’re ripped off. 🙁
where do i print/how do i print out the coupon for the regular beauty insiders????
I really wanna buy some things in my store!
They should send out an email in the next few days.
Does anyone know if this is one-time use only? I went in today to stock up on cleanser/moisturizer, and was think about giving the Benefit velvet eyeshadows a try. One of the colors was not carried in-store, so I put a few things back and was going to just order the rest of the stuff with the online code. Well…got home and the other e/s I wanted is OOS online, but they had it in-store. So, can I go back and use my coupon again to get that one item?
I believe it’s the same code, soo, yes. If they didn’t take your physical coupon, then I’d also assume it was for repeat use.
has anyone gotten the coupon for regular beauty insiders in their email yet?
NO! I’ve been checking my email often and nothing, my friend hasn’t gotten it yet either. 🙁
I hope they send it in on time cause I don’t want my stuff to sell out.
I just tried the BI15 code on the website and it seems to be working when you apply it to your bag before checkout!
Well, I answered my own question today. I went back to Sephora and when I checked out this time, the girl rang up the coupon, and gave it back to me. She said “you can use this as many times as you like during the sale.” The store I was at yesterday kept my coupon. (I went to a different one, as I am ashamed that the girls at the store I normally go to know my name, and I was just there yesterday, LOL.)
Anyway, I got Benefit velvet eyeshadows in Leggy, Buckle Bunny, and Nice Melons. (The first store didn’t carry Nice Melons, so now I don’t need to do an online order.)
Yesterday I just stocked up on stuff I would normally buy, anyway, so even though the discount isn’t huge, it will save me $$ in the long run: Fresh Sugar Lip Treatment; Clinique Moisture Surge; and Perfekt Skin Perfecting Gel.
Of course, now I can’t afford to buy a single thing, so I can save up for MAC’s beach-themed collection.
Aww, I’m glad you were able to use it at another Sephora AND that you learned that you could re-use it 🙂
Question:
When placing an order online, you can’t use both this 15% code and another promotional code for a deluxe sample etc.. right?
Right!
I can’t decide what to buy! I went into 2 sephoras and I walked out with nothing! I don’t see anything really exciting. 🙁
I used the coupon when I bought nars sheer glow foundation, a tarte lip stain, and a roll on perfume. I love all of the stuff that I got!
i’m hoping canada will have our own f&f sale soon ^^ going to get me some perfume

Hi Rashmi,
You should try their HD blushes — I think you’d like them! 🙂 Very pretty and great in hot weather.
For sunscreen, try Shiseido – love all of theirs. For a moisturizer, try Clinique Maximum Hydrator. For a loose powder, try Laura Mercier’s.
Thank you!
