Re: 2013 Chic Week Promotion for Beauty Insiders: FAQs

I agree with feline it kind of hurts a little when your early for an event and being waitin in line and by the time you checkout the tell you they ran out of samples or whatever reward they are offering. I love Sephora I just believe they should have a backup plan for when these situations occur

Re: 2013 Chic Week Promotion for Beauty Insiders: FAQs

Yeah, there should be a backup plan especially when you need to make a purchase to get the reward (it's not just automatically free).  All VIBs should get the opportunity to get the designated reward (or be able to get a raincheck).  VIBs should also be able to automatically use the 15% code online as well as another code, because that really sweetens the deal.  I'm not trying to complain, I just feel there are a few ways Sephora could improve, namely in their organization and rewards program.  I am 100% loyal to Sephora when it comes to makeup and skin care, so I really do love Sephora, and I wouldn't waste the time with the constructive criticism if I didn't intend on remaining a loyal customer!   

Re: 2013 Chic Week Promotion for Beauty Insiders: FAQs

Can canadian customers get 15% off on their over the telephone orders?

Re: 2013 Chic Week Promotion for Beauty Insiders: FAQs

I'm really excited about this. Hoping one of my girl friends will be able to visit to come with me. 

Re: 2013 Chic Week Promotion for Beauty Insiders: FAQs

@jan42 the 15% will require a code and will not automatically be applied towards your online orders.

 

@rockhound0508 the stores will all have the VIB totes with samples and should have the same ones (they are still subject to change!) the only difference is that our SiJPC locations will have a different variety of samples provided from our freestanding stores.

Re: 2013 Chic Week Promotion for Beauty Insiders: FAQs

Is there a standard list of the samples or does it depend on what each store sets aside for the event?

Re: 2013 Chic Week Promotion for Beauty Insiders: FAQs

Will the 15% off be used as a promo code where would would have to type it in? Or will it be automaticly applied on the website into our cart? I was hoping to get one of the promo code offers (repair cream) but worry that it's not possible if the discount for Chic Week is a typed in promo code offer!

Re: 2013 Chic Week Promotion for Beauty Insiders: FAQs

it's going to be a promo code, so no other freebies 😞  They should at least allow VIB's to use 2 promo codes.

Re: 2013 Chic Week Promotion for Beauty Insiders: FAQs

@dannyc the details for the promo "readyduo" were posted with a slight error that we did report to our marketing team to be resolved so our clients will know where they can redeem their promotion.

Re: 2013 Chic Week Promotion for Beauty Insiders: FAQs

@jpark107 - Our online promos, such as READYDUO, are not available in-store.  You are able to take advantage of VIB Promos that are not restricted to online only, however we suggest giving your local Sephora a call to confirm that they have it in-stock prior to your visit.  Thanks!

 

Re: 2013 Chic Week Promotion for Beauty Insiders: FAQs

READYDUO is available in stores. It really boggles my mind how many different stories we hear depending on the employee. Information from e-mails, Customer Serivce on the phone, FB mods & BT mods all have something different to say. Can't this company ever stick to one story? A promo's facts, are facts, not something you can choose to change. Screen Shot 2013-04-07 at 10.19.08 PM.png

 

Re: 2013 Chic Week Promotion for Beauty Insiders: FAQs

Can VIBs also redeem an in-store promo code (ex. Bare Minerals READYDUO) when we shop during the event on the 11th?

Re: 2013 Chic Week Promotion for Beauty Insiders: FAQs

Does anyone know about how quickly they'll run out of the bag and samples? I know that's hard to predict because all stores are different. This is my first year of being a VIB, so I don't know if they typically run out at events like this. I probably won't be able to get to the store until 6:30 on the 11th, so I'm wondering if I need to send my boyfriend over to the store to get it...that may be desperate measures.

Re: 2013 Chic Week Promotion for Beauty Insiders: FAQs

@feline5190 to be honest, its very hard to say when VIB bags will run out. It really depends on how much traffic comes to the store you decide to visit- if you have a Sephora inside JcPenney you can also take a visit there for the tote as well!

Re: 2013 Chic Week Promotion for Beauty Insiders: FAQs

What time does it start on-line on April 11th for VIB's? Is it midnight EST or midnight PST? 

Re: 2013 Chic Week Promotion for Beauty Insiders: FAQs

I'm super excited for this! Thank you Sephora! 

Re: 2013 Chic Week Promotion for Beauty Insiders: FAQs

Do Canadians get the 8 free sample in Canadian stores? or just the 15% off in sotres... 

Re: 2013 Chic Week Promotion for Beauty Insiders: FAQs

@Yaning- Samples will be included in the VIB bag in stores only during the event. (Canada stores included) The bag is available while supplies last!

Re: 2013 Chic Week Promotion for Beauty Insiders: FAQs

Will we have to print off the email to get the discount? I will be on vacation while the event is on, but there is a Sephora near where we are staying. Can I just show the email on my phone, or do I need to actually print something?

Re: 2013 Chic Week Promotion for Beauty Insiders: FAQs

@Bellaijou. You should not have to show the email or print out the email to receive the discount in stores. However, you may need to print out the invite in order to attend the VIB event! Please make sure to provide your email address or Beauty Insider Card number at the time of checkout.

❤️ Melissa
