It would just be more convenient if I had one...

I registered online but when I went into the store I gave them my email, then I asked if i could get a physical card. She gave me one and linked it to my email.

Keene! I'm so excited. I've been there three times now, and I really love it. I'm a little apprehensive to leave the whole "get anything you need 24 hours a day" thing but I found a really good pizza place, so I'm happy!

I just bought my husband one of those cologne samplers where you try them out, then bring back the certificate for a full-size of your choice...it was 50 bucks. Bought it at the JCP Sephora b/c they're across the street from our house, and the 'real' Sephora is 30 minutes away.  Yeah, didn't get ANY Insider points for it.  When I realized that, I looked at my last JCP/Sephora purchase and I also didn't get points for a 20 dollar face scrub and a toner, either! WTH?

I need to call them and see what's up with that, but I know they're just going to tell me that the JCP stores are "a little different" - that was the answer I got when I asked a couple questions about something else.  They should tell you BEFOREHAND when purchases won't net you any points, though, IMO.   

I haven't had any issues with the JCP Sephora, except for the limited selections they have. An actual stand alone Sephora is close to an hour away from me, so usually it's online ordering or popping into the JCP one really quick for something. I'm always sure to give them my account info to make sure I get points back on purchases and the girls are always great about it, telling me where I'm at before and after purchases.

Has anyone heard anything about August boxes yet?  

(sorry if I'm looking in the wrong place)

i went in to sephora at my jc pennys today to claim my birthday gift, and the only choice they gave me was this tiny little pencil eyeliner (no thanks, just got eyeko and i have UD 24/7 in black which is perfection) or some dinky sample tube of mascara (doesn't compare to the sample of diorshow i got from birchbox) or some small bottle of some bath thingy i don't even remember what.

i was kind of disappointed and wanted to say something because i thought i was supposed to get the sugar lip balms, but i didn't say anything because it's free and i know how much of a pain it is to work in service/retail.

I always have had a problem with the sephora at JC penny. I do not go there anymore. I will go straight to the sephora store and Yes I did get the sugar lip balms.

I'd go back bc at the Sephora inside the JC penny's by me,they have a sign at the register saying that the sugar balms ARE the birthday gift from having the Sephora card .

Plus go to Sephora .com and see if they have it posted there.

How much in advance do they send it out? I have had a card for years and never received a gift.

Do they send a card to you or do you just go in and get it ?

Thanks

I was told they mail you the card 2 weeks before your bday and it is good for up to 2 weeks after your birthday.

I got a card and guess what, it never linked up with my online acct. I lost so many points. I rather give the girl my email at sephora and they just add my points there.

I was wondering this as well, I haven't seen anything yet.

 

[Pattycakes]

I got the fresh lip scrub for my bday at jcp sephora today, but they said it was the first day they had them in stock in awhile!

 

[Eva Papoutsi]

Thanks ladies! I guess I will ask one of the girls in sephora to help me out with that next time I visit!

Got my Juliette has a gun sampler pack today, FOUR days after I ordered it. From FRANCE. How is that even possible?

YAY!! I'm going to a small grad school near KSC, so I figure that with KSC there it's got to have some fun stuff to do!

 

[Emr410]

Yeah, they told me the same thing.  It's obvious they are handling every case differently which is not good customer service in my opinion.  I sent them an email and called them out on it, we will see what their response is.  

Let us know what they say. I was told it was a printing error too and I was suppose to get the Larabar.

So, I have a question about the Alterna  Bamboo color care UV + fde proof fluide from this Months Birchbox... I can't seem to find answers anywhere. I like it but it said it prevents fading. I have blonde highlights and most of my hair is all blonde. In the summer i like when my hair gets lighter, that seems like in a way like it is fading? I just don't want to use this product and have my hair not get any lighter... Maybe this is best for darker haired people? I love how it is lightweight and not greasy and it smells really good..Opinions?

When your hair gets lighter in the summer it is due to the UV in the sunlight bleaching your hair. It is actually a type of damage, so the Alterna works to protect the hair strands from that damage. It is a good thing to use whether your hair is colored or not, although it is more of an issue if your hair is longer and therefore has more acccumulated damage. If you are a big fan of the summer bleaching but you like the Alterna otherwise, I would just save it for winter when you aren't getting the lightening effects from the sun. It won't reverse the color change, it just helps prevent it from happening.

My husband has fallen hopelessly in love with Juliette has a Gun Vengence Exteme.  I will cross post on the swap thread but if anyone wants to swap or sell PLEASE PM me

Thank you for this information!  I was wondering about the Alterna, too.
