I hope this is available to for use in canada!! I would LOVE to get some things 🙂
I just tried ordering on the website using Canadian checkout and it says this code is not applicable to orders from Canada. What a bummer. I send Sephora an email regarding this issue. Hopefully they get back to me in time.
Tested as well the Error mesage I get is:
“Must purchase merchandise to qualify. Not available with Canadian orders.” So it’s a no for now and I’m rather sad. >_<
I just emailed Sephora and they were very kind to get back to me right away. They said that this sale is not available for for Canadian orders online but available in store. They said we need the F&F discount card to be eligible for this sale. The only way we (Canadian customers) can get this is when we know some people who works at Sephora and give us the discount card since this sale is supposed to be available for Sephora employees only. Its not very convinient eh?! If you guys know someone who works at Sephora then you are lucky. I will still try to talk to people at Sephora store and ask if i can get this discount card. Good luck!
All the good sales tend to pass us Canadian costumers up. XP
Well here’s hoping they’ll do another Christmas $20 off coupon. ^_^
I thought last year they emailed Beauty Insider’s and VIBs a coupon we could print off to get the discount in store? Sephora hasn’t offered Canadians a discount in a long time. So annoying! I probably won’t bother trying to get a discount unless they email me one. I don’t go to my local store often enough.
I totally agree with you. At least the price now reflect the higher Canadian $. Before everything was suddenly more expensive in the Canadian checkout.
This is so not fair for us Canadians.
The Canadian prices are already 30% more than the American prices and the dollar is almost at par right now, sure they could say that includes shipping and duties to Canada but come on I doubt that going to add up to a 30% increase in the prices.
Even the 10% off VIB discount is invalid in Canada. I also thing Sephora should get on with a Canadian Shipping Warehouse so we can get the random things they won’t ship across the border and perfume and that. They wouldn’t ship me a Shu lash curler, Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer, or a Clarisonic brush head. All things we can buy in store so are licensed to sell in Canada but they won’t send them here for some reason. Really random. One time being a Canadian isn’t super convenient. I <3 Canada!
Canucks always get burned 🙁
It is so frustrating that they don’t have Canadian discounts..they have Canadian customers, and stores!! I have e-mailed them and they say they will have discounts in the future….when???!
I should keep e-mailing them..harass them a little 🙂
Well, it is still more expensive.
What a bummer, I wanted to get Guerlain products. I guess I’ll now do my shoppings at the Bay or Shoppers during their cosmestic gala. At least they give away GWP during the gala plus points.
As usual we(Canadians)end up getting screwed. Higher prices, have to spend $150 just to get free shipping and no discounts for us? I’m starting to feel like we are not valued customers…
agreed!
I don’t think we are. 🙁
Is the 10% VIB code permitted to be used on top of the F&F 20% code? Or do you have to pick one or the other? I hope not the latter…
Please check with Sephora – as far as I know, you can only redeem one code. I included all codes currently available for completion and so readers can determine whether the 20% code is worth it or whether getting a sample is worth it.
that would be nice! but I doubt it 🙁
How many codes can you use on a single order? Thanks for posting this!
Please check with Sephora – as far as I know, you can only redeem one code. But it’s best to check with Sephora as they are the retailer 🙂 Thank you.
Can I use the VIB code along with it? Or is that an option for us VIBs to use, bc if it is why would someone use a 10% off when they can get 20%?
Please check with Sephora – as far as I know, you can only redeem one code. But it’s best to check with Sephora as they are the retailer! 🙂
You’re so patient with you readers! : )
I heard it actually started today 🙂
The code is already working. I just placed an order and it gave me the discount. Yay! 🙂
thank you!!! I just tried placing my order now with the 20% code and it went through! can’t wait to receive my items! =D
can you use more than one code at a time
Hi Rebecca,
As mentioned in the post, I am still waiting for the fine print.
Christine:
Is that an additional 10% off for VIBs on top of the 20% discount?
No, it is a separate code that has been available for use for some time. I listed all codes so that people can determine whether the 20% is worth it. Sometimes it’s only $1 or 2 and maybe a sample item is worth it instead.
I tried the FF2010 code now (6:20 a.m. October 21st)and it already worked.
No, it’s a separate code that’s been circulating for several weeks now.
this might sound stupid but i’ve never shopped at sephora.com, i make all my purchases in-store. is there a limit to how many coupon codes we can use?
Please check with Sephora – as far as I know, you can only redeem one code. But it’s best to check with Sephora as they are the retailer 🙂 Thank you!
I thought VIBs and Beauty Insiders would get an email regarding this? I haven’t received anything…
Historically, the code has always worked before notice has been given.
The reason VIBs and Beauty Insiders do not get notified about friends and family is because it is not a Beauty Insider discount! It is the one time a year that Sephora employees are allowed to share their discount with their friends and family (hence the name), which is usually not permitted. Other companies, such as The Gap, do this as well.
I think Sephora sent out notices last year to their customers!
wait, so the 20% off code is FF2010 but there’s a VIB code for 10% off? what does that mean? thanks for keeping us up to date on everything Christine 🙂
They are two separate codes. The VIB code has been out for several weeks now – I just wanted to include all of Sephora’s current promotions and codes so you have all the information in one spot to determine what makes sense for you.
It’s annoying though that as I VIB I didn’t get notice of that code. Go figure!
awesome, thanks!
I hope they will have this for Canadian orders as well. Its so unfair that we don’t have it. We have stores here too. 🙁 Thanks for the info tho
Hi Christine! I’m confused about the code for VIBs… it’s only 10% but the F&F sale code is 20%?
It’s a *separate* code.
Sephora FF2010 code IS working today! Placed my order 8:30 AM EST & 20% came off the total. Get going ladies!
Is the sale valid in stores?
Thanks.
Hi Ash,
In the post, I mentioned that I do not have details like that this time. Thanks!
My cart is getting full 🙂 What are you picking up Christine? 🙂
Maybe just some shower gels. Nothing really 🙂
Hi Christine! Can I use more than one code at a time?
Hi Courtney,
As mentioned in the post, I don’t have the fine print yet.
Do you mean additional 10% off (Total 30%) for VIBs?
No. That code is an existing code.
I am noticing a lot of repeat questions. I think this may because when I enter my question it said only one other person had.
Hey Christine thank you for the info, but I’m pretty sure Sephora only lets you use 1 code 🙁
Yep, but I wanted everyone to have access to all the codes in case they wanted to see 🙂
I just used to code to place my order! I guess its working already.
Kind of confused about the 10% off bit for VIB’s, does that mean we get an EXTRA 10% off in addition to the 20% off everyone else gets? If so, SCORE. Finally this VIB thing is paying off!! Haha.
No, that VIB code has been out for awhile – I just included other ongoing codes for your reference.
Saved $60 off my order thank you Christine!!!
Just placed my orders online. Woohoo!!! =)
Hi Christine, we can only use 1 code per order, right?
Please check with Sephora – as far as I know, you can only redeem one code. But it’s best to check with Sephora as they are the retailer 🙂 Thanks!
Can we apply unlimited amounts of coupon codes? or is there a limit?
Please check with Sephora – as far as I know, you can only redeem one code. But it’s best to check with Sephora as they are the retailer 🙂
Hi dear, is the 20% off for all products storewide? and additional 10% for VIBs? thanks!
Please check with Sephora – as far as I know, you can only redeem one code. But it’s best to check with Sephora as they are the retailer!
I’m confused- the f&f sale is 20%, but then there is a code for 10% off for VIB’s? I think only one code can be used per order? I must just be reading your post wrong.
I may wait until the official details are up, to find out if it’s in-store too, and/or multi-use. I like instant gratification!
Yes, there is an additional code currently available for those who are VIBs, and it has been available for several weeks now.
Thank you so much for posting the info and answering questions, Christine!
Yeah, I gave the code a go and I got my 20% off! So worth waiting with those items beckoning to me in my cart 🙂 I got Tokidoki Robbery Pallet, Boscia Black Mask, PTR SPF 30 powder, sephora’s BCA palette, fresh rose get away set, fresh sugar plum let it glow set, and my usual sephora waterproof liner 08 brown (it has a nice shimmer for my green eyes). Sooo happy!
I just placed my order! Got a Clarasonic Mia and Nars Sheer Matte foundation. Saved me $38! Thanks Christine!
just placed my order! I got the UDPP professional size, sephora makeup bag, Urban decay show pony shadow box, Kat von D true love pallete, Urban Decay cream highights in brown sugar and moonshine and the beauty blender!!!! I wanted to buy the MUFE hd foundation and primer but i didn’t know my skin shade ;( I’m going to the mall sunday anyway so i will pick it up then 🙂
I just tried using the code on Sephora.com for Canada. It says it’s not applicable 🙁
aww just in time for my birthday!!!
My haul saved me money, but is nothing exciting. First, remember to get your cash back! Mr. Rebates, Lucky Rewards, and Shop at Home all had 5% cash back for Sephora when I checked this morning. Ebates only has 3.5%.
I got the Clinique acne liquid facial cleanser (2), moisturizer, and toner. I got enough skin care challenge credits to get a Murad Oil Control Mattifier for free. I’m plotting one more order of fun things before the sale ends. One note, if you were thinking of the Philosophy coming up rainbow set I noticed it’s $3 less on the philosophy site than sephora.
Could not come at a better time. My hands have been so dry this entire year, and with winter coming, I had to grab up a pair of the Bliss glamour gloves to try. Nothing else seems to work, so maybe those will do it. Also stocked up on what just might be my holy grail facial moisturizer, Skyn Iceland’s The Antidote. And they FINALLY added the Illamasqua nail polishes I wanted! 😀
W00T! Got the UD BOS!
i got UD book of shadows which i have been waiting until now to get, plus 2 of the coralista gift sets and the cover fx shimmering powder that was on sale for 8 bucks. im happy!
Yeah, I’ll have to save up till next week. 🙁 But I hope to get some Bobbi Brown and Lorac.
I’m annoyed that they don’t make a distinction between discounts, and promotional samples. I had to put back 70$ of MUFE eyeshadows/palette because I can’t use the code to redeem THAT, with the purchase! SOOOO annoying!
Thanks for posting this Christine. Oy, the comment confusion! 🙂
I bought a few things, despite unemployment stressing me out. I have been waiting to purchase replacement brushes for my Clarisonic. Other than that, Nars Douceur is in my cart. Hooray!
I just called both retail locations in Edmonton. Management at either facility were not aware of the FF2010 code. They ARE running a friends and family sale currently, but require a card that is handed out by staff to be eligible for the discount.
One location was going to trial purchasing a product and applying the ‘FF2010’ code to the purchase. I am waiting to hear back about whether it worked.
Either way I’m hoping they will give me the discount. It seems unfair to be offering it carte blanche in the states and only for a select few in Canada!
Thanks for calling them. I live in Edmonton as well. I tried using the ‘FF2010’ code on Sephora.com for Canada. It says it’s not applicable 🙁
Did they say you have to be a VIP or something in order to get the discount card handed to you?
I am from Edmonton too lets all go together lol they will be frustrated and let us have the code !!
The code will not work on Canadian checkout, we (Canadian customers)can get the discount in store if we get the discount card. I emailed them earlier and told me about this. They told me to ask someone who works for Sephora since this discount card is for them. I hope you guys can get one, i dont know anybody who works there but i will still try maybe they will give it away to the public.
Thanks for the tip Phoebe!
I got a bunch of MUFE stuff that I’ve had on my Shopping List forever and been wanting to try:
MAKE UP FOR EVER Mist & Fix
MAKE UP FOR EVER Smoky Lash
MAKE UP FOR EVER Aqua Cream – 12 Golden Copper
MAKE UP FOR EVER Diamond Powder – White 1
That particular aqua cream and diamond powder I’ve been wanting ever since I saw Pixiwoo’s tutorial from Sam’s Laura Whitmore shoot for Now Magazine (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E6Y2M6QRA-8). It’s so gorgeous!
The last item I got was because of you, Christine!
Laura Mercier Stick Gloss – Courtisane
Your swatches were just so beautiful and I have dry lips, so I thought it would be good to try.
Anyway, thanks for the reminder! I can’t wait until my new toys arrive in the mail. =)
Aww!! <3 I hope you love it!
Hey Tabi, How did you find out which diamond powder the pixi’s used? I didnt see which one it was? I want to get that combo too!! Thanks! Michele
Hi!
I thought she mentioned it in the video, but maybe not (I just rewatched it and didn’t hear the number). I probably guessed it was #1 White based on how it looks in the video and swatches, but I don’t remember since I added it to my cart a while ago! A lot of comments on the video also ask, but I didn’t see a response. =/
I already bought all my must haves long before this sale…I scoured the site and cannot really find anything I want….as far as everyone asking about multiple codes….I don’t think Sephora has ever allowed more than one code at a time….usually with the VIB disc I go for samples instead unless I’m spending a decent amount!
I got the Illamasqua pigment in Ore, Bobbi Brown Extra Eye Repair Cream (my HG eye area moisturizer), Professional size UDPP, and the Sultra Bombshell clamp-less curling iron. I think I am done for a while 😉
I just placed my order got the clairisonic philosophy set and nars coconut grove shadow. I saved $49. 🙂 I’ll also probably order a few holiday sets for gifts when I get paid next week.
I purchased $250 worth of stuff (prior to the discount code)…. stock of favourites, but mostly items I plan to give as gifts for upcoming birthdays 😀 I LOVEEEEE SEPHORA FF!
My FIRST Order:
-Korres Wild Rose Skin Care Set
-Clinique Even Better Set
-Clinique 7 Day Scrub
-Josie Maran Love Nest Set
-Smith Rosebud Salve (tube)
-philosophy Gingerbread House
-philosophy Gingerbread Man Scrub
Saved $40 and likely going back for more. As usual some of the items I wanted went out of stock just before the sale kicked in, so I have fingers crossed that some will come back in stock.
Just placed my order!
My haul:
Laura Mercier Hydratint in crimson
2 clear sephora makeup cases
NARS matte velvet lip pencil in Dolce Vita
NARS single eyeshadow in Fez
sephora brand small eyeshadow brush
Sephora favorites little black eyeliner kit (!)
a set of 2 beautyblenders (I can’t believe I bought only one…and it was $20!)
and I got some free samples, but I’m not even that excited about the samples because the makeup haul is all stuff I’ve been waiting to get!
I like clear makeup cases too, especially for on the go. Which ones did you pick up?
SEPHORA COLLECTION/Signature Clear Cosmetic Case, one in black and one in blue, both are large size! I am so unorganized, but I did a huge makeup/skincare overhaul recently and threw out a ton of old/bad/never really bother using stuff, so it will definitely be worth it. I buy stuff from Sephora on average of 3-4x a year, but I never bothered to buy organizers like makeup cases…but now it’s one of my goals! I guess I’ll see how those two large cases suit my needs, then I’ll buy more accordingly.
Again, thanks to everyone for great ideas and the code! I didn’t buy refills for my clarisonic because I got one of those codes for registering on the clarisonic website..I guess I’ll have to check the expiration date, haha.
Question…if something is out of stock, we wouldn’t even be able to purchase it, right? I pre-loaded my cart
If it’s out of stock, you can’t purchase it.
I emailed customer service to inquire about Canada, and was told that the offer will not be extended to online Canadian customers. They said that you can get the offer in-store, but only if you have been given a card by a Sephora employee.
Interestingly, when I hit “Canadian checkout” on my (very) full cart the price had already gone up well over 20% to begin with, even though our dollar is nearly at parity….this has always been the case, and it drives me insane! If you can get access to a border city with a post office that will hold packages for you, it’s definitely worth the trip (and more) to buy online using the US site and cross the border to pick it up.
Sorry for the rant, Christine. 🙁
I live on a border city so I have tried to use the US online checkout but Sephora requires an American billing address in order to ship to a US address 🙁
ack, you’re right, I forgot. And also, you need an American credit card/bank account. This is so frustrating!
Ohhh this is dangerous! I think i’m going to get Benefit Birthday Suit creaseless e/s and the Smashbox Wish lipgloss set….we’ll see what else makes it’s way into my cart though
Omg I’m about to lose control!
I purchased two of the new Nars gift sets, a Clarisonic Plus, and the YSL holiday set. I saved $88.00
Thanks Christine!!
I always get annoyed that they make these sales and then no free shipping… like most of the time, we still end up paying more than we do instore even with the 20%. If I wanted to save 2 or 3 dollars, I’d just go down to Sephora and buy something there. idk, just my opinion I guess. They should be doing these sales with free shipping already included, so we can get some legitimate savings.
There’s free shipping over $50 on all orders, and keep in mind that not everybody has the luxury of having a Sephora nearby 🙂
I agree, the closest Sephora to me is 2 hours away! Much cheaper to pay the shipping, than what it would cost in gas for me to drive there.
The current Bobbie Brown makeup remover code bbremover is US only as well.
Actually this is my biggest complaint about all these FREE product codes they advertise on the web site. Pretty much all of them are US only once you get to the checkout.
Sad thing is they are all packed and shipped from the same warehouse at the US costumers so I don’t know why the feel the need to excluded us.
I believe that Sephora is only shipping BB within the states? so that might be why. Given that nobody wants to exclude a good customer base, I’d say there’s gotta be something involved regarding importation, international business, etc. that’s making it that way.
Actually all the FREE item codes you’ve list at the top are US only despite it being an item I can order to Canada. A lot of them in the past as well besides the Christmas special which are Sephora brand items. I always get excites for there promos but then when I get to checkout it’s a so go. 🙁
Although your right about BB is not being sold to Canadians … Sephora would have been the only place to buy it other then ebay.
Oh dear, oh dear, I just bought way too much stuff, and I still had to leave so many things I want behind!!! If only this were a “FREE” code 😉 Thanks for letting us know about the code, I haven’t been getting promotional emails from Sephora, only the “review your recent purchase” emails, and I keep changing my email preferences in my account, and it still doesn’t change anything 🙁
Hey Sarah,
I haven’t received any newsletter emails about the sale, but I did finally get an official email from Sephora corporate just a few minutes ago.
Illamasqua Cream Blushers in Rude and Lies
Illamasqua Lipstick in Obey
NARS Blush in Sex Appeal
NARS Single Eye Shadow in Etrusque

I hope you love the Rouge G!!
I got:
Urban Decay Book of Shadows III, Benefit Some Beauty To Love, Benefit Stay Put Set, Smashbox Jet Set Liner, and a double pack of replacement Clarisonic heads! Yayyy!!!!! I love sales :]
Thanks for the notice, Christine! Poor you – how many times did you have to tell people to check with Sephora about using two codes? lol.
I know I felt bad for her repeating herself like 100x…LOL
thanks christine! i finally ordered my UD BOS III! I’m so excited!
I picked up things that everyone probably already owns lol but I’m cheap so I decided to get them today. I ordered Too Faced Shadow insurance (for the first time), Too Faced Primed and Poreless Face Primer, Stila’s Backstage palette, and 2 of Stila’s collectible travel palettes (Paris and road to brilliance). I’ll probably order more next week.
Poor Christine… everyone is using you as Sephora customer service! Anyway, I just stuck to kit basics – Benefit She Laq, Smashbox Photofinish Primer, Urban Decay Primer Potion – my first tube size version 🙂 and an Anastasia brow brush. 🙂 What did you get?
Not much, just some Philosophy shower gels!
Thanks so much Christine! Placed my order earlier today. I have been waiting for so so long…haha.
I bought
– Philosophy/Red Apple Shampoo, Shower Gel & Bubble Bath x 2
– Fresh/Fresh Brown Sugar Lip Polish
– Fresh/Sugar Lip Treatment SPF 15/Sugar Lip Treatment SPF 15
– Philosophy/Melting Marshmallows Shampoo, Shower Gel & Bubble Bath x 2
I just ordered Tarte’s TEN Palette and Natural Lip Stain in Charmed, Too Faced Pixie Perfect, Fresh’s Sugar Plum Let it Glow! set, DiorBlush in Passion Fruit, and NARS Oasis blush. I always get the most expensive things on my list, or things I think are too expensive for what they are (i.e. the lip stain) when I have a discount. I also got a 500-point perk added to my order, a small Bare Escentuals set. I’m really happy about that because it includes Buxom Lash mascara, which I LOVE. 🙂
My Haul:
Korres/Deep Colour Mascara – Blue Black
MAKE UP FOR EVER/Aqua Cream/18 Purple
Ojon/Restorative Hair Treatment/4.6 oz

MAKE UP FOR EVER/HD Microfinish Blush/14 Star Struck
tokidoki/Robbery Makeup Bags/Matita Pencil Case
Givenchy/Le Prisme Unique Eyeshadow – Iridescent Finish/19 Vintage Silver
I know that looks like a lot, but not all of that is for me (example, 2x the Benefit set). I’ve been waiting for quite a while for this sale ^_^.
My F & F haul today includes, UD Dashiki(finally Yeay), UD Urbanglow Cream Highlight in Brown Sugar, Sephora Favorites, Little Black Eyeliner Kit, Temptu/Adorn Temporary Tattoo Kit in Sexy & Sinister Chic set (for Halloween),and some cool samples, lol. Thanks for letting us know when the code was usable!
Wow – I feel so bad for you. You are probably not enjoying repeating yourself. They only give you one box for a promo code. Even in the fine print of the coupon you posted a pic of, it says “cannot be combined with any other promo codes.” Oh well…
I placed an order. I couldn’t believe it, RIGHT after I placed the Illamasqua pigment in Ore in my shopping cart, it said “not in stock”. I hope that means I got the last one! If not, I will go to the store and buy it at full price. Losing out on 20% off one item is nothing to cry over. 🙂
Thank you so much for keeping us makeup enthusiasts in the know! I know it must be more hard work than it appears and I am grateful for all of your helpful information and great swatches!!!!
I bought 2 Illamasqua pigments (Alluvium and Ore), the Illamasqua false lashes that came with that bug on the packaging, Makeup Forever gloss #3, Bobbi Brown shimmer brick in Nectar. I splurged and paid $3 for UPS 3 day shipping. So awesome! I can’t wait for my package.
omg… i just did some MAJOR damage… was getting my cart ready for a week… 2 mias, one for sis and one for me, 5 very different lipsticks each by a high-ender i’d never tried (i’m new to fancy lipstick – guerlain! dior! laurent! givenchy! illamasqua! reds! pinks! purples!), ole’s “truth is in the eyes”, philosophy eye believe, the mini OPI nail polish set, 24/7 jackpot, josie maran argan oil hair serum (better than ANY glossing creme!), mini nail files, CLEan body powder (it makes me feel classy and old-fashioned), and touche eclat, which i’ve been coveting!!! many luscious samples, ooo YAY!!! had to hold back on the three pure pigments i wanted… well the sale is on for a week or two, right?
Eh turns out it would be cheaper for me to get what I want in store than to buy online with the discount but to have to pay for shipping. Oh well I hope what I want is in stock!
Just put my order in! Woo hoo! Thanks I got $50 off and lots of high end stuff I wouldn’t usually buy!
Thanks for sharing, Christine. I placed my order about 3 hours ago and could only use the 20% — no stacking with the VIB discount.
Also, I just rec’d an email from Sephora customer service saying they’ll ship once my credit card payment clears — hmmm, this has never happened before. No problems on my end. Interesting.
And, I paid $3 extra for the quicker delivery so I could receive by the end of next week! (I hope I didn’t waste my $3 — I’ll let you know [and Sephora, too!])
I usually fork over the extra $3 (but I’m west coast, so it’s usually totally worth it) – and they are good. It may take longer to ship out orders with the influx of orders, though!
I got that email too! and i am a very frequent shopper, never happened before. I’m sure maybe they are SUPER busy. I didn’t pay for extra shipping but I bet it will take longer this time due to everyone in the world ordering on sephora…
I finally got the UD BOS III I’ve been wanting along with the Sephora lash sampler and the Boscia black mask. I’ve got a second order in mind already!
Hey Christine!
My first order only had the Benefit “Some Beauty to Love” and the Sephora favorites cologne set for my boyfriend. My second order will likely have the Lavanila Pure Vanilla set (with the spray and body butter) when it comes in stock and the Josie Maran “Orgalmic” kit.
Not going to lie, the huge let down of this sale not being extended to Canada will probably cause me to simply never use the site or store again. Starting my protest letter after work, it’s not like Canada is 1000’s of miles away. I’m 30 minutes from the border.
Same I wrote a complaint about this. Fortunately many other companies will be holding Holiday/Friends & Family Sales. I know last year The Bay offered a great holiday sale and since they sell much of the same merchandise as Sephora, I will most likely be taking my business there instead this year.
CURSE MY BRITISHNESS.
Augh, so frustrating! I’m trying to get $50 worth of goodies in my basket so I can get free shipping, but most of what I’m lusting after right now is from Origins and Estee Lauder, which of course Sephora doesn’t carry. Bah.
Just bought some Origins cleanser (Checks & Balances) and I LOVE it. Also want the Origins Never A Dull Moment after I sampled it.. totally amazing product!!
I use Never a Dull Moment cleanser too. I also love Origin’s Have a Nice Day and Nit-A-Mins Moisterizers. The only big gripe I have is the packaging. It really should come with a pump and I can never get the right amount of product out without making a mess.
I love both those cleansers, too! I own Checks, want Never a Dull Moment.
Wow. Sephora actually makes me hate that I’m Canadian. o__O
But it’s so wonderful being Canadian! Hate Sephora instead for not recognizing that! :p
I feel your pain though. I’m sure Sephora makes a killer profit from their Canadian locations and online purcahses, so it’s disappointing how much they exclude us.

Hi Christine!
I splurged and bought Hourglass Veil Mineral Primer SPF15- been wanting to try this one for a long time!
Also bought:
Ole Henriksen Truth Serum Collagen Booster
Josie Maran Blush in Fever
Laura Mercier Loose Setting Powder in Transluscent
Bare Escentuals Mineral Veil SPF 25
Can’t wait to get my goodies! I may order more next week!
OMG this is going to sound so dumb but i cannot for the life of me find where to put the discount offer code. Would it be under shopping basket, shipping address, packages, payment info, or confirm order?
ahhhhhh
Payment info!
Thanks so much! I was going crazy trying to find it. Another website said that it was in the shopping cart/ checkout area, and I was obviously not seeing it.
Bought the clarisonic! I’ve been waiting and waiting for the FF sale just to get it! Cannot wait to start using it!!
I keep going back and forth on the Clarisonic- been lemming it for months, but feel SO bad about the price/luxury of it.
whoopie 🙂 I just made my first F&F purchase and the code provided above worked 🙂 I only bought three things, I had to stick to a budget, but since the sale goes through to November 3rd, I may buy more next week 🙂
Here is my list:
Yves Saint Laurent TOUCHE ÉCLAT Radiant Touch – 5 Luminous Honey – Org. $40.00
Laura Mercier Moisturizer Creme With SPF 15 – Org. $45
Dior Extase Mascara Set – One full size mascara and two mini sized – Org. $30.
Total after discount and taxes: $99.59 (shy of $100). I’m too afraid to spend more then that.
I wanted to buy products that I normally could not afford at full price. So I’m excited to try them all 🙂
What did y’all get?
Hey Christine,
I was good and only purchased three things:
Illamasqua lipgloss in Hermetic
Nars duo in Melusine
Duo lash glue…wanna try my luck with false lashes!
I got the UD BOS 3 and pale moon nail polish by OPI. I thought the glow in the dark nail polish would be fun for Halloween!!
I got NARS Daphne eyeshadow, NARS Torrid blush, MUFE Rock For Ever Palette, MUFE Rouge Artist Intense in 43 ( Moulin Rouge), and NARS Lipgloss in Chihuahua. 🙂
OMG I just blew $250!!! Don’t tell hubby! I got Fredrick fekkai conditioner, curling spray, the Tarte holiday pallet, 2 stilla palletts, lip scrub, the smashbox eye pallett, and a marc Jacobs daisy perfume set….am I forgetting something???
T3 Hair Dryer & Flat Iron & a few more perfume sets! I won’t tell your hubby if you won’t tell mine! Enjoy!
Make sure when you get your hair dryer that you save your receipt and register the hair dryer on the t3 website. My dryer wasn’t nearly as hot 6 months after I bought it. I didn’t know that you could register it, save your receipt, and send in the receipt with dryer and they would send you a new one. Doesn’t matter where you bought it. They stand behind their product.
is this for everyone and how long will it last?

Saved $80! Thanks so much Christine!
YAY! Got the Guerlain 93 Rue de Passy palette, and a tube of Hourglass Superficial Lash (loved it as a sample, didn’t want to pay $26 for more of it). Thanks for the heads-up Christine, I thought the sale started Saturday and I might have missed out on the palette by then 🙂
I just ordered Make Up Forever primer, HD powder and Dual matte powder foundation. I’ve never used any of their products but everyone seems to really like them on Youtube so heres crossing my fingers 🙂

Why are you so damn good to us pretty lady?!!!!!

Maybe one each week until the sale is over? lol Anyway, for my first haul I got ysl rouge pur couture in #20 rouge flamme and #13 le orange, mufe rouge artist intense in moulin rouge, urban decay de-slick powder, opi nail polish in only gold for me
rose bud salve. I really wanted guerlain rouge g in gillian but they didn’t have it. It would have been my first guerlain purchase. It’s ok tho I got a nordstrom note in the mail today so it will be going towards that : )
THANK YOU SO MUCH!
I’ve been waiting to order so much stuff…
for basics I’m purchasing Make Up For Ever HD High Definition Powder, Urban Decay Primer Potion (the new jumbo one… finally they made that!), Sephora Eyeshadow in 13 peach beige, NARS Soft Touch Shadow Pencil in Goddess.
for my mom I’m purchasing Alterna Hairspray and Terax conditioner! hah!
And of course, for a little fun I’m dying to try the Josie Maran Beauty in a Box
Considering that they gave us a cheaper in-store discount mailed out last year, you think they’d do something for Canadians. I’m kinda PO’d about this. I was looking forward to purchasing a bunch of things, but alas will not do and will buy my one main thing I needed when the time comes that I actually do hit pan and need a new one. Heck, might even just buy it elsewhere since Sephora is a bit of a drive out of the way for me. (Sorry for the little rant, I just find the situation with giving Canadians discounts absolutely ridiculous).
🙂
I jut preordered some stuff from MAC Holiday, and came home and found this, and just ordered again. I’m not even going to look at my credit card balances until I get my statements. LOL.
Hi, is the vib 10% code along with the other ones not including the FF20% code good in a canada

I wanted to get a NARS blush but couldn’t decide which one, so I just passed altogther.
I went to Sephora today to see if there were any last minute items for my shopping cart and the store was EMPTY! I saved $64 thanks to the sale. Can’t wait for my stuff to arrive!
Dear Lord,
Please give me the strength to resist the Sephora F&F sale. I know I promised that after my Mac Venomous Villains haul that I was on a no-buy but I am growing weak.
Amen
I have been on a no-buy for 3 solid months now. This sale was the perfect time to break the fast!

this is bad. my wishlist is $344 before discount. not good for a recent college grad.
Total= $814.00. SAVED $163.40 with the 20%off so PAID $714.38. My wallet is hurting…but I have been waiting for this sale.
FYI:LADIES go to ebates.com and save an extra 3.5% on top of the 20%.
Is It only on line or in stores as well?
Just online!
I ended up buying:
benefit high beam to go (just to try it out)
shiseido eyelash curler
DDF sulfur therapeutic mask
MUFE mat velvet +
korres lip butter in quince
saved $22 🙂 can’t wait til it gets here!
It is beyond ridiculous that Sephora does not extend this to Canadian customers. I shop there all the time and this is seriously making me question and re-consider my loyalty. I wrote to Sephora about it also.
I went for YSL L’Homme cologne for the boyfriend (planning for Christmas already!), Nars lipstick, Nars Lipgloss and Dior Rouge lipstick! I’m so excited!
Just placed my order- saved $50 overall thanks to this sale (which i’ve been planning for haha)
My Haul:
UD 24/7 eyeliner in El Dorado
Nars Blush in Orgasm
MUFE Duo Mat
Nars eye shadow in Night Star
UD Book of Shadows III
YSL Rouge Volupt lipstick in 29 Opera Rose

I seriously hope my husband doesn’t check the credit card anytime soon! Here’s my haul:
MUFEAqua Eyes – Majorelle Blue
Illamasqua Intense Lipgloss – Fume
LORAC Multiplex 3D Lip Gloss – Cliche
Kate Somerville Detox Daily Cleanser
Kate Somerville ExfoliKate
Guerlain Rouge G de Guerlain Lipstick – Gracia
I needed to stock up on my Kate Somerville skincare since I missed out on the last Gilt sale and I’ve been lemming the Guerlain lipstick for months! I totally forgot about the Nars stuff I’ve been after, so there may be another order in the works (and another Rouge G lipstick!). I would have been on board the extra $3 for faster shipping, but I’m in China on business so it wouldn’t have mattered anyways. Fingers crossed I get home before this arrives so that the hubby doesn’t freak out!
Placed my order 🙂 I got:
Clarisonic Plus
RareMinerals Moisturizer
NARS Sex Appeal Blush
NARS Etrusque eyeshadow
My haul:
NARS Duos in Misfit, Melusine and Sugarland, NARS e/s in Etrusque, NARS Eyeshadow base, the Laura Mercier Eye Book and Korres Mascara in Gray Green (for $9!!).
I’m considering another order that could possibly include the Smashbox Hazel Eyes kit, Fresh Sugar Rose kit and a couple of the Sephora brand Vinyl lip pencils.
I wish I would have waited on getting my Clarisonic, UD BOS III, and TF Glamourland palette until this sale. Oh well.
I hauled:
Stila Backstage palette
LORAC tie dye lip gloss set
LORAC Holiday train case palette
3 MUFE Rouge Intense lipsticks
TF Insurance Policy palette
oops, it’s called Box Office Sensation by LORAC from their holiday collection (not train case)
Finally going to buy Guerlain Meteorites. I’ve been tempted for awhile but have managed to restrain myself until now.
MY HAUL:

Bobbi Brown Creamy Concealer Kit – Sand

NARS Single Eye Shadow – Biarritz
I’ve been wanting to try Bobbi Brown concealers/correctors forever! Then I had to have the new NARS collection plus a few odds and ends.
The code worked for me just fine.
Happy shopping.
Thanks so much!!! Just used it!!!! Haha spent quite a bit 😛
I was about to buy the Benefit Stay Put Set to get free shipping but it’s sold out! ARGHH! Dang beauty junkies 🙁
I placed my order yesterday afternoon and I just got the shipment confirmation … it’s already out for delivery and should arrive in a couple of hours! And that was with free shipping! Bravo, Sephora 🙂
I don’t understand why they cannot do this in stores, I hate shopping online
Does anyone know if this works when you buy sephora from amazon.com? I can’t buy from sephora.com cause i don’t have a US credit card, but i want to buy some things and send it to a friend that lives in miami so that he can bring then when he comes visit the next month
I’m not sure, but it doesn’t hurt to try?
Do you know if there’s going to be a discount available for use in stores? I emailed Sephora earlier but haven’t gotten a response.
The coupon says that it is not applicable in-store.
I’ve also rec’d one of those “credit card pending” notices. I’m a little irritated about that since I shop with them on a monthly basis using the same card.
I did too…but I think I entered my credit card security code in wrong lol. Would I have received an error message prior to completing my order if I had done that? Sorry if that’s a stupid question..I’ve never entered it wrong before!
Hi Hannah,
I called Sephora customer service twice regarding this issue. Neither associate could enlighten me as to why it was happening. I placed my order on the 21st at 6am PST and I got an email on 10/23 stating that my order had been sent to the fulfillment center. Now I’m just waiting for it to ship!
Made two purchases. I spent waaay too much and there are still a million things I want.
Murad Starter Kit
Benefit Some Beauty to Love Set
Benefit Hoola
Sephora Eyebrow trimmer
Sephora for OPI in Merry Me
BE Tutorial- Rocker Eye
BE Tutorial- Smokey “V”
BE Tutorial- Smokey Eye
I got a few things (a benefit kit and some moisturizer and that smashbox eye palette that was on sale). I was really hoping to get a new eyelash curler, but the shu uemera’s aren’t for sale anymore. Any recommendations on the second best eye lash curler?
Shiseido’s is supposed to be good!
Fellow Canucks! I just saw this on the Sephora Facebook page:
“O Canada…We’re as disappointed as you are that we can’t offer you our online Friends & Family discount due to technical limitations. But we want to make it up to you. So take your pick: A Vera Wang Princess Tote or a Tarte Be Good To Your Mother Earth Set—FREE with ANY online order while supplies last. Enter code:
LOVEMARIT for the Vera Wang Tote
or
BEGOOD for the Tarte set
We hope you enjoy your gift and accept our apologies!
(while supplies last, not available in stores)”
there are also rumours of a 20% off in-store deal for us after F&F US wraps up, but I’m not holding my breath.
Christine, I was wondering if free shipping works if i have $50 worth of stuff in my cart and then after the promotion its $40..?
I have no idea – you should be able to just go to the next step to see! 🙂
Yes, you will still get free shipping. I “pretended” to check out with $50 worth of items, but after promo it was $40 and the free shipping was still applicable.
Also, if anyone has a discover card, if you shop thru them you get 5% cash back.
Thank you, Christine, for the code and all the details, as well as your endless patience! You have taught me so much!!! I’m around an NC 35-40, but your swatches are so, so helpful for me to estimate what will look good on me. I’ve always neglected my lips, but you have really converted me into a lip product fan!!!
I’ve changed my cart so many times in the past week! I ended up with:
Tweezerman pointed tweezers
Bobbi Brown creamy concealor kit in Honey
Bobbi Brown color corrector in Dark Bisque
Bobbi Brown gel liner in Cavier
DDF erase eye gel
Smashbox arced eyeliner brush- ( I was gonna purchase the Sephora black eyeliner box set that had this brush in it, but I realized at I would never use all those pencil liners b/c gel liner is the only thing that works for me. So I just ordered the brush itself)
Laura Mercier sheer l/s in Tender Lips
Kate Sommerville Exfolikate- I was gonna get this regardless, but I’m so glad they came out with a smaller $20 version b/c I did Not want to spend $100 dollars on it!
Nars blush in Deepthroat- I had been stalking this for a while!
I saved $50!
I’ll probably do another order next week; I always feel obliged to take advantage of any discounts because Sephora hardly Ever does anything for VIBs! What’s up with that!? Oh well:)
Sephora’s been running a 10% off VIB code for 2-3 months now, actually!
