Hi guys! Welcome to our new home! No, you are not dreaming, we got a makeover. So, first things first: Everyone pull out your mobile phone, go to Sephora.com, and click on โCommunityโ from the side navigation. Notice anything different? Weโre mobile! We will also be integrated into the Sephora iOS and Android apps very shortly, so stay tuned.
Now that thatโs out of the way, look around, check the place out. You will notice the black bar at the top that will help you navigate through the whole Beauty Insider Community. Letโs exploreโฆ
โHomeโ is the homepage of the Community and where you can see all of the ways you can get involved. If you ever get lost, just go home.
โGroupsโ is where you can find people and content that are relevant to your interests. You donโt have to be a member of a Group to see that content or to post in that Group, but by joining a group you can filter the conversations to only see content that youโre interested in. You can also be notified when someone posts a new conversation in a Group youโve joined.
โConversationsโ is where you can post just about anything beauty (or sometimes not) related. Ask questions, join in a thread, or just check out whatโs happening in the Community.
โGalleryโ is where you can post photos of your beauty looks and get inspiration from others.
In the top right of the navigation bar you will see a little bell. Those are your notifications. Click here to see whoโs messaged you, replied to you, tagged you, or started a new conversation in a Group youโve joined.
Next to that bell youโll see a plus sign. By clicking on that you can join a group, start a conversation, or post a look to the gallery all from the same place.
Okay, now comes the fun part. Click on your username! This will bring you to your new Profile. The profile is your Sephora home base. It is a comprised of four tabs.
- The first tab is mostly public, with some private content where denoted. It serves as your introduction to the Community. It is where you can keep track of, and others can see your Community activity. Get in there and upload your avatar and cover photo. You can also write a little blurb introducing yourself and post links to your Instagram and YouTube accounts, if youโre into that.
The other 3 tabs are completely private, and only you will be able to see this information:
- The โBeauty Insiderโ tab is where you can keep track of all of your Beauty Insider Information.
- The โListsโ tab is where you can access the products youโve loved on the site and also past purchases.
- The โAccountโ tab is where you can access all of your Sephora account information.

UPDATE: We've changed the email notifications settings so that you don't get emailed for every post in a thread you've participated in. This should alleviate some of the inbox clogging! We've also changed default notifications so that you aren't notified about activity for every thread you participate in, just the ones you've subscribed to or the Groups you've joined.
If you'd like to change your notifications, you can so by going to the "Notifications" tab and clicking on the gray gear shift in the bottom left corner to get to your Settings.
