Yes agreed! ☺️

For the longest time, going to the nearest Sephora store would have meant taking a plane trip to a different island. And even after i moved, i still mostly order online as it takes over an hour to get to the store which is over crowded and often doesn't carry or is out of the products i need. I usually make at least two online orders during the sale in addition to picking up any items in store that ground ship (due to living on an island). I've realized I won't be spending as much as usual this time around because the second online order was always just luxuries I wanted and not necessities. I haven't even placed my online order yet... which i've had ready in my cart for a few days. So thank you Sephora for saving me money, even if you make life more inconvenient. 🙂

PS... shame on you Sephora, because there are still people with disabilities and others without stores in reasonable distances.

[Mickmoo]

I am disabled and never shop in store. I bought essentials the first day because I didn’t want them to sell out and thought that would be it, but of course, I’m now realizing a few things I should have gotten — as I always do—and now can’t do an extra order to receive the discount. Before becoming disabled 7 years ago, I enjoyed going shopping and walking around malls, but now there is no way that I can shop in store; I buy everything online. My poor husband even does the grocery shopping now. I don’t mean to come across as if I’m complaining as I’m thrilled for the surprise sale. I’m just disappointed that those like me that are disabled, or anyone that doesn’t live near a Sephora, can’t make that extra purchase. As a Rouge member, I already miss out on so many perks as they are in store only. I just hope this isn’t new policy. Being able to make multiple purchases online has always been what set Sephora’s sales apart from others, and is very helpful for those of us with disabilities.

People are so unappreciative. They normally don’t even run an extra sale that’s out of season. The rest of us hate online shopping (why do you think brick and mortar stores are going out of business and people are losing jobs???). I live in a high crime area so stuff gets stolen, my mailbox is outside so stuff melts in hot weather while I’m at work so it’s very difficult for me to order online. With all this complaining next time they’re going to say ONE TIME ONLY IN STORE OR ONLINE...or ONE TIME ONLY ONLINE (no in store) like the other companies or won’t even run an extra sale at all!!! Let’s not forget in store shopping helps employee jobs and also generates Necessary income to keep Sephora viable.

[Bellebourjois]

Are you kidding me? We are the customers, we are the ones spending our money on their products keeping the company alive and well. We have been spending 1000$ to keep this status that has been a long time disappointment, not to mention the rewards are constantly sold out. They will never take the sales away as this is a prime marketing target to push customers to spend and buy more products. Your view of them taking away sales because we are giving constructive criticism is down right ridiculous. Making the online code a one time use simply limits the amount of shipments they’ll need to place. They did this specifically for THEIR convenience. The complaints about this code are absolutely valid and completely understandable

Question to anyone that can answer this.... can I use an e-gift card and get the 15% off?

[Indy701]

@leilovesglitter Yes. I used one and got the 20% off for Rouge 

[Kim888]

Yes you can use a gift card and the discount. Gift cards do not go in the promo line you’ll see an option to pay with gift card at checkout

[jrabbit]

Like quite a few others, I live 4 hours away from a Sephora. It kills me all the unredeemed 50pt playbox points, because I can’t go in store to add them to my account. Really disappointed they isolate those that are already isolated in a way, because no Sephora stores are within a reasonable travel distance. For people to mass order for samples is a joke. All year, I’ve been getting zero samples or just perfume. Actually called and complained because...due to distance, samples and play boxes are the only way I can test out new products. I want to give you my money Sephora, but you just aren’t helping me here. Feeling pretty confident I won’t be spending as much as I usually do when these 20% offers come around. At least my husband will be happy.

I have not received anything in the mail or by email with my barcode for in store...what should I do??

[LaurieBT]

Hi @Anonymous, @leilovesglitter, @val2222@val2222
 and @teufel,

I'm sorry to hear this! For Rouge clients, I recommend ensuring that you're subscribed to receive our emails, and please check your spam/junk folders as well as your inbox. You should also be able to see all of the promotion details in your Sephora App Inbox. Additionally, the online promotion codes are available in the details of this thread, and you can also provide your Beauty Insider account information to a Cast Member in-store to enjoy the promotion.

Also, please know that emails and notifications regarding the promotion should continue to be distributed to VIB and BI clients in the near future. I hope this helps. 🙂

Warm regards,

Laurie

[val2222]

I didn’t get anything either.

[leilovesglitter]

I have not gotten the sale invitation in the mail yet for the stores... not even a email yet. Would the online code that I’m seeing also work in the store?

[teufel]

I haven’t gotten a coupon code, by mail or by email, either. However, the sale for VIB and BI doesn’t start until 8/30 so the current code is only good for those with Rouge status

[Shutterprincess]

Is Dyson ever included in a Sephora sale? If so, is there a sale that it typically is included in? I’m so eager to purchase the dryer but am really going to pick it up on a sale.

[baebyul]

Unfortunately the discount is not valid on dyson products. But Nordstrom rack is selling refurbished dyson hair dryers for $250 if you are interested!

[salvar08]

I used the coupon they sent last November on the dyson hair dryer. I hope they send it again this November.

[luvmadeup]

Can you please consider this to be used online (not just once)?  I'm disabled and going to start radiation treatments for breast cancer, and can't get into the store. Much appreciated if you can!

[Marathoner422]

The very best of luck to you. Please get well soon.

[KHRN]

I am so sorry for what you are going through. I wish you all the best with your treatment and hope you get well soon.

[luvmadeup]

Thank you for your kind words KHRN! But don't feel bad, I'll be ok and just want to make my life a little easier right now!
