You should return it - you had the right to get a price match because of the Scanner Price Accuracy Code, through the Retail Council of Canada. Lots of stores even give you a $10 credit towards the purchase to compensate for this error.

So I asked in store and apparently Sephora does not abide by the scanning code of practice in Canada except for in Quebec @Insomniacmuffin

[jesscheems]

@Insomniacmuffin Do they honor the scanner accuracy code? Also would they still give me the 20% off- with my luck probably not 😄 

Thanks for the heads up!!

I also saw it listed as $19 in store!

[annypoo]

I saw this in stores and it had a $19 sign 

[alexasteph]

Interesting... Mine is the exact same way. I wonder how they would go about fixing it? Change the price online? Override in store? This is an item I'm waffling over too.

I think yesterday, is when I saw that it had changed price online but at first it was $19 online too

My peeve is what I overhead at my SiJCP today.  One associate was telling (training?) another that she isn't to give out the Rouge discount or the free tote to anyone unless the customer specifically asks for each one.  I'm not sure if this is a new policy or just one for my store, but it really rubbed me the wrong way since I used to live near 3 Sephora stores, and the associates would always apply the discount or give out the freebies automatically once they scan your Rouge card.  So once I checked out, just like she was told to, she told me my total with no discount until I showed her the email about the sale and the bag.  It just seemed kind of stingy to me since I'm used to a great experience in store.

Well that makes sense now! On Friday when the sale began I took a friend in there with me so she could get 20% off also like it says on the brochure, but when we went to the register the SA didn't give us a bag and I didn't even think to ask her for one...she didn't seem to happy tbh! Well yesterday I went in again for something that was sold out online, and went to checkout and was given a bag without even asking!! So it makes sense why me and a friend weren't automatically given a bag because i didn't ask! Just seems silly considering if nobody asks, they won't give out bags leaving them with a plethora of bags after the sale!!

Of course I hold off on buying really the only set that caught my eye and its sold out already. Perfect way to end a crappy week.

Of course ebates goes back down to 4% right before the VIB Rouge sale tomorrow. Of course.

[obnurse86]

maybe it will magically go back up at midnight I can only hope

My pet peeve lately is that I can't make my eyeliner look even lately! One side will point straight and the other will point up slightly. Its not something others would notice in person but it bugs me. I have hooded eyes and they are slightly different. ugh haha

[veronika23]

Random peeve...

Tried a Formula X polish weeks ago and it stained my nail this horrible yellow! It's a pain waiting for it to grow out!  My nails are naturally really white so I very much hate this yellow highlighter color 😄 😄 😄

[jesscheems]

Oh no! That womps!

@veronika23 did you happen to use a base coat & was the colour you used a darker one?

I used to be a 24/7 polish wearer... and got stuck in the cycle of painting over the nails to cover the yellowness, and making it worse... 

I've been polish-free for over a year now (with a short period of gel polish in a few months ago for 2 weeks). Love I don't have to worry about chipping my polish, removing it when it looks bad, and my nails stopped peeling and grow much faster nowadays. I stopped painting my toes, too...it was just too much work to keep everything looking nice. Chipped toe nail polish looks terrible!

[veronika23]

@k617 no base coat... It was a darker color and I was just swatching it.  I own a lot of dark colors by other brands and never had that problem.

Oh man I can't go without painted toes... get a pedi like monthly LOL  and yeah chipped toe nail polish looks terrible. Glad mine lasts like a month! 😄

[k617]

@veronika23 Yikes! A swatch did that to your nails?! Crazy!!

[veronika23]

@k617 yup!  Wasn't too happy. I think I'll stick with brands I really love like Cirque Colors. I am so impressed with them. Same goes for ILNP.

[NikkkiNikkki]

This happens to me too, with any nail polish I use on my toes. Now I always have to have my nails painted or they look yellow 😞

[lyravega]

Long flights. Hate them. For so many reasons… But, let’s keep ‘em beauty related… They mess with me inside out. My skin goes crazy. My everything goes crazy. Then I go crazy. Gah!
