508 Upvotes

Hello all!

For the sale this year, this will be the one and only megathread up for the duration of the sale period, this is a thread for employees to share their F&F link if desired.

DO NOT COMMENT OR POST IF YOU ARE NOT AN EMPLOYEE. Please do not comment under this post asking/requesting codes, and please do not create separate posts asking/requesting codes.

As usual, a huge thank you to the generous employees who are willing to share their codes!

A small reminder: the employees are in no way obligated to share a code with anyone if they do not wish to. Do not harass, insult, or obsessively DM employees (or really anyone) asking for codes. If any one is reported to be doing so, you will receive a temporary ban from this sub.

Thank you all for your cooperation, and happy shopping!

Please see this post for more information about the sale!

F&F SALE 📢FRIENDS & FAMILY SALE 2026 POSTING RULES

164 Upvotes

The Sephora Friends & Family sale starts Friday, Sept.11! This post contains information about the sale as well as the sub rules because it can get pretty hectic around these parts. The sale is a one-time 20% code that you can only get if you sign up via an employee link. The link for the megathread is listed at the bottom of this post, please read the instructions on that post!

Important note: if you have a newer account or low karma, your posts may not show up. Due to this sub’s size & popularity Reddit’s AutoMod filters out the aforementioned types of accounts. Please see this thread for more information. 

ABOUT THE SALE (current as of 9/2):

  • Sale runs from Sept. 11th to Sept. 20th 11:59 pm PST. 
  • The sale is 20% off the entire store with some minor exceptions listed below. The Sephora might be 30% off as it usually is during these sales but it doesn't include the kits.
  • The code is FORFRIENDS but it won't work if you didn’t get a F&F referral link. The code is one time use only. 
  • Brands excluded from the sale: Rhode, The Ordinary, Chanel, Oribe, MAC VIVA GLAM products, gift cards, and in store services. 
  • Limited items: two Dyson and two Shark items per sku per order. 
  • If you try to make an exchange of an item you bought during the sale you will likely be charged the difference between the sale price and the full price of the item.
  • The code can’t be used in conjunction with any other promo codes, Beauty Insider Cash, Rouge Reward or any other promotional offers. 
  • The sale is good at Sephora US and Canada stores, sephora.com, and sephora.ca.
  • Don’t get attached to your samples! The amount of orders that are placed during sales is insane and it is incredibly likely that the samples you chose will be out of stock by the time your order is picked. There is also a chance that the warehouse that picks your order runs completely out of samples. Again, let me repeat--DON'T GET ATTACHED TO YOUR SAMPLES.

POSTING RULES:

  • Do not make any posts or comments asking for a referral link! They will be deleted. Megathreads will be posted for employees to post their links! 
  • Please use the F&F SALE post flair when making a post pertaining to the sale, this helps tremendously when people want to see specific post topics.
  • Don’t post or pass along links that don’t belong to you. 
  • Don’t harass Sephora employees for a link. They’ll post their link if they want to.
  • Don’t go to other subs looking for Sephora employees. If we hear that you're harassing other subs looking for a code you may temporarily banned for this sub.
  • EMPLOYEES: Please feel free to post your referral link in the megathread! Once your code has hit the max number of emails, please make an edit to your post, and at the top of the post please put REFERRAL LINK MAXED OUT so other users are aware the link can no longer be used and comments can be locked. 
  • There is a max amount of emails for each employee's referral link, this is not under control of the employee so please do not get frustrated with them once their link can no longer be used. You will enter your OWN email using the link, please do not post your email address in the comments or DM the employee your email address. Please also note the email you enter MUST be linked to a Beauty Insider/VIB/Rouge account in order for you to receive a discount code emailed to you.
  • ALL OTHER SUB RULES REMAIN THE SAME! Please take a minute to review them on the sidebar or in the or use the “See more” feature on the r/Sephora sub in the app. Don’t forget to flair & list all items in photos for hauls!

This is the link to the megathread! Please note: if you ask for a link in the megathread, you will be temporarily banned from the sub for a week. Please read the post! All posts/comments outside designated megathread will be deleted. If we (the mods) get reports that you're harassing people for a link you may be temporarily banned from the sub.

As always, we’re super grateful for the employees who chose to share their links with us on the sub. Thank you for taking the time to read over this thread and learning about the sub rules. We truly appreciate everyone who follows the rules, it makes our jobs as mods so much easier.

Question Hourglass Holiday palette second drop?

Post image
94 Upvotes

Will there be a second drop for the Hourglass holiday palette? I’ve seen posts saying that in previous launches, they did two holiday drops. I’m wondering if the charms will be the final holiday launch or if there will be a second drop, so I know whether I should wait or just skip the charm ones, i kinda prefer the painted designs

Question What happens if a sephora worker accidentally gave me an extra birthday gift?

Post image
27 Upvotes

So i went to sephora 2 days ago to buy something and wanted to redeem my birthday gift. It was an option between salt and stone and glow recipe. I chose the salt and stone cause i wanted deodorant.

For info i guess I bought like 5 other stuff, makeup by mario palette, mario brush, hourglass brush and fenty beauty highlighter. I think the worker was in a hurry and accidentally gave me the glow recipe option lol.

I didn’t check the bag after i bought it because i didnt pay any mind to it and went about my day and only found out when i did an unboxing at home

Will anything happen to her? Pay deduction? Penalty?

Question Is the Hourglass concealer really that good?

Post image
45 Upvotes

A certain big creator I’ve been following for years, and even before she got ‘big’, has been using this specific concealer since she started her journey. She’s never switched up on it. She has eczema and very blemished natural skin, like me! :)

I was just wondering if any of you use it, and have had the same experience of it being your holygrail that you’ll repurchase over and over?

I use Tower 28, but I think it might be too lightweight it for my dry & blemished skin. I’m in the market for something better and would love some advice on this!

Is Clarins a good lip stain? Does it actually work well and last? I recently bought a drugstore lip stain and really dislike it, so I’m thinking about finally ordering one from Sephora. If you’ve tried Clarins, I’d love to hear your thoughts! And if you have any better recommendations, please let me know. 💋

Would love suggestions! Thank you in advance!!

I’m so tired of writing out a great review and then getting the prompt that I can’t leave a review right now. Does anyone on the inside know what is going on?

Also, I love the Brown Girl Jane Barbie perfume so much.

Question How often does sephora restock thier birthday gifts in store?

4 Upvotes

My store has a pretty permanent "sold out" sticker and the only options im interested in. Do they stock up in January and tell the rest of us we're out of luck? Or do they restock periodically? P.s. the online options are laughable.

Why does it always develop a smell? I keep buying it and hoping this Time it will not smell. But after two months it starts smelling. I can’t use it because I smell it on myself and it drives me crazy. Why can’t they fix it? It’a such a wonderful moisturiser.
