@Vonneh Thanks for sharing! Good to know that the Farmacy Honey Halo Ultra-Hydrating Ceramide Moisturizer is a good one! I jope you enjoy your new products also 🥰

[Mellmars1185]

@Vonneh That is so exciting! Our skin could always use some extra love and care. Did you pick up items you have used before?

I ordered the SEPHORA COLLECTION Ultimate Gel Waterproof Eyeliner Pencil in matte black with the 30% off promotion.  I saw it in a Sephora tutorial on YouTube and decided to give it a try.

Sephora Collection has great eyeliners @Mel231 ! I am getting SEPHORA COLLECTION 12 Hour Contour Pencil Eyeliner 01 Black Lace 

[MKC78]

This isn’t working for me. 20% works but none of my Sephora Collection items are being discounted at checkout. 😞

[Saradestin]

@MKC78  Oh no! 😓 That’s weird! I have had mine discounted once I added the discount code 

[Mindofa20s]

I’m having the same issue. 

[leiiyah05]

Trying to buy a foundation spray for my body. But can’t find a matching shade. Gona use that 20% to help find a perfect one 

[chewieleroi]

Just bought a cream last week and now its 20% off . should I buy another one with the rebate and bring back the unuse one ? #Sol de Janeiro Bum Bum

[CynthieLu]

Keep the bum bum and get yourself something you've been on the fence about trying? 😋 @chewieleroi 

[Saradestin]

@chewieleroi , I agree with @CynthieLu . This is the perfect time for a Holliday treat! 😁

Dyson Dyson Supersonic™ Hair Dryer

@cyoenu, the Dyson hair dryer is a beautiful product. Unfortunately, Dyson looks like it is excluded from the sale.

[vscxv553]

hi this deal accept for chanel ?

[itsfi]

@vscxv553, Chanel appears to be excluded from the sale. Here's the fine print, including exclusions for Sephora and Sephora at Kohl's (from temptalia (dot) com)

You're welcome; sorry it wasn't great news. @vscxv553

@TeamBIC I had no idea about the 20% off sale tomorrow.  I need some time to think!  IDK if I should splurge on MAKEUP BY MARIO Ethereal Eyes Eyeshadow Palette (whoops - it's still OOS!) or just try something simple like SEPHORA COLLECTION Ultimate Gel Waterproof Eyeliner Pencil for 30% off.
