There Is Something For Everyone…

November 5th, 2007 @ 2:25 pm by Mrs. Emerald

At Sephora!! I don’t know about you, but I can’t walk past a Sephora without going inside. There are just too many goodies in there waiting for me, calling out my name, and rarely do I come out empty handed. blush029 And now it’s time for their annual Friends and Family 20% Off Sale!! YIPEE!!

Coupon Code: FF2007 (not sure when it expires)

Free shipping on orders over $50 is also available when you use code FIFTY (however, I have not confirmed that both codes can be used at the same time. You can try calling the 800 number and placing your order that way, perhaps they will honor both codes!)

For my bridesmaids gifts, I purchased these limited edition fragrance sets:

Fragrance Gift Certificate - For Her

For $45, it includes 8 mini sample tubes of Sephora’s newest/most popular fragrances and a gift certificate. The lucky recipient can choose their favorite from the set and redeem the certificate for a full size bottle! This is an absolutely ingenious gift idea! After all, perfume is a fab gift, but also a very personal choice!

This year, the included perfumes are: DKNY Be Delicious, Robert Piguet Fracas, Stella McCartney Stella, Marc Jacobs Perfume, Salvatore Ferragamo Incanto Shine, Philosphy Inner Grace, Aquolina Pink Sugar, and Guerlain Insolence. Apparently this set changes yearly depending on whats hot, cuz the ones I bought last year had completely different choices! Another thought: if the recipient wants a different perfume that’s not included in this set, they can purchase one of them first, and then exchange it later for another fragrance. Sephora has the best return/exchange policy!

What are your favorite Sephora finds!? I absolutely swear by their makeup brushes!! Happy shopping!

You can use the two codes together for the discount and for free shipping. I recommend buying the T3 hair dryers and curling irons with the discount, because although they are pricey, the results are definately worth it!

Can you use the FF in stores?

Sarah - good question, not sure if someone else can answer that? My guess is No, but I could be wrong!

My favorite Sephora find is my perfume — It’s called “Sugar” from Fresh. I actually tried it on three different times while at Sephora and finally decided it was “the one!”

Mrs. Onion says:

oohh, and I forgot about my addiction to the fresh sugar lip treatment. at $22.50 each it’s not something i do for myself very often, but at 20% off it’s just $18! totally worth it :)

Sarah - No - I’ve asked and you can’t use the code in the stores. Online only. I didn’t know about the Free Shipping code though, so Thanks Mrs. Emerald! What an awesome Xmas gift idea too! I agree Sephora has the BEST exchange policy.

My faves include: BareEscentuals powder (addicted and always converting my friends), Stila and Tart eyeshadows, and Kinerase stuff!

sarah, how are you able to use both the free shipping code and discount code? i tried but, there’s only one promotion code allowed per purchase.

does anyone know how to use both codes at once??

I love this gift idea with the perfume gift certificate and samples! Too bad it’s temporarily unavailable! :(

What a great gift idea! It’s particularly nice that there’s a fair amount of variation between those perfumes. Something for everyone….

I was so sad to learn about the Sephora code earlier today — I just spent $$$ there on Friday! Oh well, maybe it’s an excuse to buy MORE so I can take advantage….

This promotion ends on the 24th and you can only use one code, not both.
