What Every Sephora Employee Wants you to Know

I have currently worked for Sephora, for roughly a year, now. And I have loved everyday working there. But there are some secrets and tips I would like to share with you.

1. YOU CAN GET YOUR BIRTHDAY GIFT ANYTIME

Many customers come in months after their birthday, saying I forgot my birthday gift, not realizing that they can still receive their gift. The entire month of your birthday, you can pick up your birthday gift. You DO NOT have to wait until your actually birthday. Once your birthday month hits, you have the remainder of the year to receive your gift. So do not worry, if your forget to receive your free birthday gift. Save that special day, for the fun stuff!

2. LIQUID, GEL, CREAM YOU CAN HAVE ANY SAMPLES YOU PLEASE

Many customers come into Sephora, believing they can only receive foundation samples. But you can receive so much more. You can ask for samples of perfume, face cream, hair products, etc. As long as the product you are wanting a sample off is a liquid, cream, or lotion texture you can receive a sample. Please do not become greedy either, technically we are only able to give out 3 samples to one customer. But if you are nice and not demanding, we may give you an extra sample or two.

3. COUPONS, HAVEN'T HEARD OF THOSE

Please do not ask if there are any coupons. Rarely does Sephora have coupons. Maybe 2 times out of the year, depending on your beauty insider status, will coupons be sent out. So asking at the register, does not mean a coupon will magically appear. So be sure, if you are not one, to become a beauty insider member.

4. BEAUTY INSIDER MEMBERSHIP

Yes, I know we ask you every time you check out, but you should really sign up to become a rewards member. Perks of being a beauty insider member, include, gifts, discounts, free samples, free birthday gift. Ranks go from beauty insider, VIB, and Rouge. And depending on your beauty insider status, more perks will come too. And what many customers do not know, is that their beauty insider rewards account, keeps track of your purchases. So when you forget your lipstick or foundation shade, we will have that in our system. Or making a return, and do not have the receipt, we can find that for you too. So sign up in store or online!

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
