Omg I love this store. Only great things, honestly. I really love the reward points you get (1 dollar spent is 1 point, you can redeem points for gifts they rotate out like every week). I guess its kinda funny that their reward program totally beats my credit card reward one, but oh well. Sephora is the only place I would use for cosmetics!
I love ordering online at Sephora. I always find what I need!
I LOVE SEPHORA. They have one of the BEST return policies ever! You can return items even without the receipt, even if you're already half way through with it. So awesome
I love buying on Sephora. You get 3 free samples every purchase you make and you don't have to go through the hassle of going to sephora itself.
The delivery is really fast everything in good condition.
Great site, fast shipping (free for more than $50) and there are always free samples! They'll also email you coupon codes so that you can get deluxe samples with your order. Pretty neat!
I had e deal with the service. Very good. Everything a women needs is here
Ordered over $150 worth of makeup in two separate purchases on the same day and received them both 3 days later, even though it was holiday season! And they package all of the makeup safely so none of it breaks. And they are awesome with returns, even if you've used a product and realized it just isn't for you! Love shopping online on sephora!
I have ordered from the online site several times without any problems. They offer great sales, fast shipping, and free samples. They offer a wide variety of brands and reviews from consumers. What more can you ask for?... I have never had to return anything so I can't comment on customer service.
The best make-up anywhere. I get compliments all the time now. Since we don't have a place locally that offers it, I am always ordering through the site. They are fabulous.
Love the online store, lots of amazing products. Only downfall free shipping takes forever :( I spend over 250 dollars and have to wait 2-3 weeks. Oh well.
I have ordered from Sephora many times. Everything arrives quickly and packaged well. Never had any issues :)
Love this site. Beauty Insider gives you great deals and free products, also free shipping over $50 and 3 free samples!
You cannot cancel an order - even if you call 1 minute after placing it. A refund takes 30 days AFTER THEy receive the product. Customer services does not answer emails. You are put on hold when you call with problems. AVOID
I used to live near a sephora retail store, but once I moved the closest one was about an hour away. Most of my beauty products are from sephora, so I decided to use their website to get my essentials. They are fabulous! There are all kinds of perks, like free shipping on orders costing more than $50, free samples, and more. Their website has almost every product like the retail store, and sometimes they have online specials for different products. If there is ever a problem, customer service is very friendly and efficient. I don't know what I would do without sephora!
I absolutely love Sephora! I think I even like shopping online better than going to the retail store. They have pretty good sales most of the time and many fragrance value sets. You can get a free shipment with 50$ order, get 3 samples and you can also redeem your beauty points. Not to mention they have a special b-day gift waiting for you!
This is one of the easiest companies to work with because they have employees in excess. Going to the physical store has the same level of customer service as the website: exemplary. The site is secure and user friendly, which is a necessity if you want to enjoy an online shopping experience. Best feature of ordering online is you always get a LOT of samples, more free samples than any other company. The biggest and only con to shopping on sephora.com is the very high prices.
Nice friendly people. No hassle returns and they even pay shipping back! I love shopping on sephora.com and in store.
Sephora has a large inventory of makeup and beauty products, love shopping on this site! They have a great return policy if you are unhappy with what you buy. For frequent buyers the VIP rewards are nice you get free samples and special sales a few times a year. Very good customer service!
Frustrating website if you can't remember your dumb password! Why don't sites let you shop as a guest? I found the specific product I wanted somewhere else and the price was the same. So guess what?
Answer: There are a ton of great moisturizing and anti-aging products out there to help you. Sephora has so many that your head will spin, but there are also a lot of drugstore alternatives that are rated just as highly (or better) than a lot of higher-end ones. I would do some research online before ever stepping foot into a store like Sephora (trust me - they will bombard you with very expensive things you don't need). Honestly, I really like Ulta as a store better than Sephora because they carry both drugstore, middle-end, and higher-end products. (MUCH better service, too) But before you go anywhere, Google things like "best anti-aging products for mature skin" or things like that. Using multiple products, such as a glycolic toner, a serum, as well as a moisturizer is a good idea. One thing that is FANTASTIC for wrinkles and dark spots is Retin-A, but you have to get a prescription for it and it is harsh on your skin (especially if you're sensitive). It literally kills off your top layer of skin (which leads to a very annoying period of your face peeling for a few weeks), but once you get over the growing pains, your skin is amazing. I was diagnosed with melasma, which is hyperpigmentation of the skin, on my face, so my doctor gave me Retin-A and hydroquinone, which really works at fading dark spots. If you can't afford the Retin-A (mine is over $200 a tube), there are a lot of great OTC products that contain retinol and work well, just not like the Rx version. Neutrogena has a great line of products for dark spots and wrinkles. But like I said, do your research and don't let sales reps push you into really expensive products, because they get a commission, and you may get stuck with a bad product and an empty wallet. Hope this helps!
Answer: This is Sephora's list of current promo codes. They should always be valid - whether you get them to actually give you what they're supposed to is always a gamble. To get a birthday promo, you have to join their Beauty Insiders club. It's free - just go to their website.
Answer: Yes. I have to take Care of my skin in every routine when my acne appears
Answer: Yes! They have a VERY liberal return policy. You can try most products in store, as well. But, if you do buy something that you don't agree with, for any reason, don't worry. They exchange easily. I always use Sephora.com... never have had a problem returning for any reason whatsoever.
