I spent over 55 dollars the other day and received a free sample bag with 13 makeup products. That’s almost half an advent calendar for free.

Fr. Bought some YSL cologne for my bf recently, I spent maybe $120 altogether and got a bag of freebies, all YSL branded. It came with a small makeup bag, a mini lipstick, a mini sized bottle of Black Opium perfume, and two makeup sample cards, one containing multiple shades of concealer, and one with three shades of their loveshine balm. THAT'S what I would consider proper Sephora Advent Calender gifts. If it's not a problem for them to give this stuff away free when we buy a certain amount in store, why not include stuff like that in their advent calendar?

People tried to get their points refunded for the insider advent calendar since Sephora said there would be makeup products and there weren’t, and got the runaround from customer service until they sent a report in to the Better Business Bureau. so honestly Lauren maybe you should do that and get your points back 😭

That beauty insider box is a HUGE missed opportunity from Sephora. They’re literally owned by one of the largest luxury beauty retailers in the world. If you are a Sephora customer and have those kinds of points that means you are dropping tons of cash at their store and are likely VIB Rouge. As stated in the video 2500 points is roughly a $500 monetary value. Sephora should’ve made this calendar super luxurious and super exclusive. So that people want to spend the money to get the points to get this calendar next year. It’s literally a missed marketing opportunity. Putting out this stupid box is proof that Sephora doesn’t understand the current beauty market or how their consumer thinks. You’d have super happy rouge clients and be well on the way to earning more. People love a goal.

Yes! Such a missed opportunity. Anyone with that many points who is aware there’s a calendar like this to redeem them for and chooses to do so is clearly a returning customer who regularly spends money at Sephora. Not many people would just happen to rack up that amount of points by shopping there here and there. These are clearly dedicated beauty consumers who are likely aware of the trends and value of what they’re getting from the products. Sephora could have knocked it out of the park and had the next big exclusive thing for next holiday season everyone is dying to get their hands on. Instead they gave them trash.

I used to work at Sephora, and a few years ago I think (just my opinion) whoever works on the point perks thought it would be a good money saving tactic to make a bunch of useless crap with the words “beauty insider” on it and use them instead of products for point perks. Obviously no one ever wanted random garbage they could get at the dollar tree, and we were constantly left with boxes of overstock of them. I genuinely think the point calendar is their way of getting rid of a backlog of four years of “250 point perks” which should have been free with purchase add ons the entire time Edit as I watch the video: the sleep mask and gems were definitely point perks in the past. Wow.

Sad part is if they didn't stretch the items further (separating the 2 hand globe things for instance) and added a couple coupons it may have actually been ok. Like if the quantity was good and grouped (get a bunch of facial tools then a coupon for a face care product, mirror then an eyeshadow/blush coupon, hairbrush then a hair care voucher, etc) then they prolly wouldn't have had any issue.

My sister and I laughed so hard when you were opening that Beauty Insider calendar. What a joke! It's like they pulled the items from a dollar store and wrote "Beauty Insider" on them. Truly the worst thing that could happen to a beauty connoisseur who has saved up their points over a long period of time. I think it might turn off loyal customers to the point where they won't shop there anymore. Customer appreciation and generous rewards are what set companies apart, so Ulta and other beauty retailers may benefit from this fiasco!

I already knew the 2500 point calendar was bad enough that Sephora was refunding points, but it's so much worse than I thought! Definitely get your points back!

The oat cleansing balm is my fave but just a heads up - when you think there’s no more product left you got to cut it open because there will be a lot left! The packaging isn’t the greatest for the product itself 😊

The point perk is honestly insulting! Like I’m mad for you because they knew!! THEY KNEW!! There is absolutely no way someone thought it was worth it like no everyone who worked on this knew it was a scam.

The $50 box makes sense for a gift for a 13 yr old cousin or something. The beauty insider box is just robbery. I would be soooooooooo pissed. It doesn't even make sense because they actually make some good makeup products. They could give you mid toned lipstains and blushes. They make good eye liners, lip liners, and mascara. They literally have good options and they chose to give party bag gifts for preteens instead.

I do like mini nail files. I throw a bunch in my car, in my husband's car, in my purse and I have one or two at work. They can be really usefull so I wouldn't be disapointed about them but honestly I think the thing with advent calendars is they can be very subjetcive. One gilr trash is another girl's treasure

If any advent calendar is great, the one on style Korea is the best. You get full-size products ranging from skincare and makeup. It’s 10 pounds of products for $130. Anything you don’t like, you can gift it to other people for Christmas.
