This Week’s Beauty Report: Saturday, April 3rd, 2010
- Sephora beauty insiders will save 15% from April 12th-19th — so make sure you sign up, but we’ll remind you come the 12th 🙂 So, consider this a heads up to save up! The code will be BI15. It is also valid in-store, but you will need the coupon and be a Beauty Insider (free to sign-up).
- For Sephora V.I.B.s (aka you spent $350+/year), you should receive a postcard with a coupon for 15% off your entire purchase April 8th through the 19th. You can also shop online and use promo code V48ML6. Inside the postcard is also a coupon for a friend, but it’s only valid on April 8th (the Bring-a-Friend Shopping Event).
- Are you the world’s first reality hair star? Pantene is holding a contest where you can upload a video and America will vote to choose a winner. 12 semi-finalists will be flown to NYC for an in-person test shoot in may.
- Darphin wants you to share your favorite $50 luxury! For every tip shared, a donation will be made to the IDEAL Providence Farms, and the donations will help to purchase school supplies for children in Ghana. On April 21st, the 50 most creative entries will win a preview of Darphin’s $50 luxury–a full-size Hydraskin Essential. One grandprize winner will win a NYC Spa getaway!
- St. Tropez just launched its Wash Off Collection, which includes Wash Off Face ($15), Wash Off Body ($18), and Wash Off Mousse ($22.50). You’ll get that summery bronze sans the sun that washes off with soap and water at the end of the night.
- Dior releases Ultra Gloss ($26.50) in eighteen different shades! PSST! Addicted to Dior is (at least, partially!) available on Nordstrom’s website… but you have to hunt around a bit.
- Kiehl’s Açaí Damage-Protecting Toning Mist is now specially packaged with a limited edition label as designed by either Jeff Koons, Malia Jones, Julianne Moore, or Pharrel Williams in honor of Earth Month. 100% of net proceeds (amounting to $200,000) will be raised worldwide to benefit Rainforest Alliance with this collection. To support the project, celebrity photographer David LaChapelle will capture each personality in his unique style.
does the 15% apply in sephora stores in Canada also?
Not sure, the fine print was too fine to read on the event listing I got 🙁
Is there a promo code to get the discount? Or was there an email sent out because I didn’t get one! Thanks for the heads up though. I know not to buy anything until then.
Yep, there’s a promo code & we’ll post it on the 11th, just in time for the 12th 🙂
Yes!
I’ve been waiting for a Sephora sale since I got a $100 gift card for Chanukah! Thank you for the heads up!
I have literally no money to spend on makeup so I’ve been searching for every sale I can get.
I can’t wait!
oh my gosh >.<!!
I was about to check out from Sephora!!! Thanks for sharing!!
I will wait till April 12th~
Just wondering, is it online only? or can I get the discount at the store?
I have a very, very tiny version, but I think it says you can present a coupon at the register… so make sure you’re a registered beauty insider!
Cool, just in case I go Monday (out of town) it will be to make a shopping list! Thank you so much !
Is this an online promo or does it apply to in-store purchases? Thank You.
I think it can be used in-store but you’ll have to have the coupon, but the event notice I got is very small – so I cannot make out the fine print.
yay for the discount at sephora! i have a cart full of goodies that i will wait on. thanks for letting us know!
I heard rumors about a 15% off sale at Sephora next month. Thanks for confirming it! 🙂
I just checked my mailbox & got the news about the V.I.B. 15% “Makeup Madness” thing they have going on…the details are: Thursday April 8 (instore & online), 6 p.m-9 p.m. Enjoy 15% off (for you & a friend-Bring a friend shopping event). Friday, April 9-Monday, April 19~15% off in store and online (V.I.B.’s only April 9-11). I don’t know why it … See Moresays on the postcard that it’s from April 9-11 when right on top of that it has from April 9-19th…error perhaps?? This is an actual mailing from Sephora. Psst the online promo code: V48ML6
Happy Easter Everyone! & Have a Beautiful Day 🙂
Bummer for the Canadian checkout purchases online are excluded from this deal 🙁
It is good for Sephora inside JCPenny!
Is the sephora code for beauty insiders(the ones who just get emails and such) Or “VIBs”(who have spent a certain amount of money and qualified for further emails/offers)?
Some of my purchases never got listed on my account, so I haven’t been able to qualify for VIB. I really want to load up on some MUFE eyeshadows though, if i CAN use this code!
Also–this is different than the friends adn family sale they do in Novemberish, yes? I don’t know whether I should be plannign on loading up on other things that I’d RATHER load up on later in the year, when i use more of the bottle I HAVE of them!
So, V.I.B.s will get earlier access to the 15% Makeup Madness sale — access begins April 8th through the 19th. Beauty Insiders (which is free, so ANYONE can become one) will get 15% off, too, but it’ll start April 12th.
And yes, this is different than the F&F sale, though I think it’s similar in terms of what you can use it on. The F&F sale is 20% off (well, it was in 2009). I wouldn’t wait 6 months just for 5% though 😛
If it’s just skincare or stuff you don’t need to use now, there’s no reason not to wait until later.
Do you know when the AMAZINGLY DELECTIBLE new colors for Dior’s ultra reflect glosses will be available in Canada? I am lemming BBAAAAAAAAAAAAADDDD.
I imagine pretty soon – I’d call your local Dior counter, because most brands don’t have a specific date for on counter (it seems like it!), so it seems to be more dependent on when they receive the shipment.
Christine, would you be able to post the coupon so we can use it in store too? If you could thatd be great!
You have to be a beauty insider, so I’m not sure if the coupon is going to have your BI # on it or not, so just make sure you sign up today, and I’m sure you’ll receive it in your email!
Thanks for the info on the Sephora offer! Now I will be broke again… I just promised myself that I wouldn’t get anything else but 15% off is too much to pass up! 🙁
I haven’t gotten my postcard from Sephora yet. Last sale I had to call them on the phone and they had to email. Sad times, I want the Diorskin Shimmers you told me about and at least one MUFE HD blush and maybe a bronzer. I want to glow! I got 20% off at Ulta and bought a R.S.V.P. and Birthday Suit from Benefit’s Creasless creme shadows yesterday so I’m going to try them out for my ditching class and going to Santa Monica/Beverly Hills/Marina Del Rey and the Getty Day :).
