Today my post is about Sephora inside JCPenny , it is offering beauty products as regular Sephora site (with some distinctions). Give it a tour here to see special offers! I made a trip to Sephora inside JCPenny store on July 20. It was my first time there. Let see freebies and exclusive Sephora Favorites Kits offering at Sephora inside JCPenney!
This is what I bought: Sephora favorites fall into beauty 6pc makeup kit exclusive at Sephora inside JCPenney store August 2015.
- BENEFITS COSMETICS: They’re Real Mascara 0.1 oz (Travel size $12, Full size $24)
- FORMULA X: Illusionary 0.4 fl oz ($10.50 – $13.41)

- TOO FACED COSMETICS: Melted Liquified Long Wear Lipstick in Peony 0.16 oz ($21)
- URBAN DECAY: Split Pan Eyeshadow in Half Baked/Twice Baked 0.05 oz Full size ($18)
This kit has 6 piece makeup items in a canvas cosmetics bag. They get 4-star+ reviews on Sephora. Too bad that all this Sephora inside JCPenney kits are not available online (I link to Sephora Favorites page).
Let see each item and the description from Sephora.
1. TARTE: Amazonian Clay 12-Hour Blush in Classic 0.05 oz ($28)
Infused with natural clay harvested from the banks of the Amazon River and naturally baked by the sun, this nutrient-rich blush benefits all skin types for a fade-free flawless finish that lasts an amazing 12 hours. Inspired by tarte’s bestselling shades of cheek stains and lip tints, the colors range from soft to vivid to suit a wide variety of skintones. For oily skin types, Amazonian clay minimizes oil in and around pores to balance skin and keep product in place. Those with dry skin will benefit from the clay’s nourishing and hydrating properties, which naturally restore skin’s moisture. Combination skin types can rely on its ability to zero in on skin concerns and deliver benefits to restore complexion harmony. The result: Blush that wears better, longer, and truer.
Compact size good for travel. I bring it with me when I am travelling. Truly matte finish and really high pigment. This color is nice warm shade suitable for wearing it alone in winter or combine it with any bronzer in summer.
2. KAT VON D: Ink Liner in Trooper 0.02 fl oz Full size ($19)
Flaunt a killer line every time with Ink Liner. The innovative, no-fray marker tip holds the maximum level of formula, giving you bold lines with instant color lay-down and stunning intensity. Remarkably easy to use, the felt tip applicator provides total control for effortless eye lining. Rock your look around the clock with this waterproof formula that delivers a fade and run-resistant finish for up to 24 hours of wear. For effortless drama, put it in ink.
3. FORMULA X: Illusionary 0.4 fl oz ($10.50 – $13.41)
Achieve eye perfection with this high-pigment, waterproof liner that stays put all day for a fade-, melt-, crack-, and run-resistant finish. The superfine and flexible brush tip glides across the lashline for incredibly fluid application, allowing you to create a variety of looks with ease. Unlike traditional felt tip liners, this brush tip will not fray.
I tried it out, color is neutral. It is not as grey as it is in the bottle. More like white with a little grey mixed in it. Easy to apply and get a good job. Please note that it is not one of those Acetone free nail polish.
4. BENEFITS COSMETICS: They’re Real Mascara 0.1 oz (Travel size $12, Full size $24)
This breakthrough bestseller reveals lashes you never knew you had! The specially designed brush features staggered bristles that grab close to the root, boosting length and volume beyond belief. The custom-domed tip uses precision bristles to lift, define, and curl even your tiniest lashes. With a glossy, jet-black, long-wearing formula, you’ll flaunt luxurious, silky lashes that won’t smudge, clump, or dry out.
Go horizontal: the staggered bristles grab close to the root, boosting length and volume.
Then go vertical: the custom-domed tip with precision bristles lift, define, and curl even your tiniest lashes.
5. TOO FACED COSMETICS: Melted Liquified Long Wear Lipstick in Peony 0.16 oz ($21)
The shine of a gloss, lasting power of a stain, and pigment-packed color of a liquid lipstick, all in one high-impact formula. Bold, long-wearing color glides on cleanly with the precision tip applicator, delivering rich color with staying power.
6. URBAN DECAY: Split Pan Eyeshadow in Half Baked/Twice Baked 0.05 oz Full size ($18)
This eye shadow features even softer, velvety texture and richer, more decadent color. Sweep on smoother, more uniform pigment and blendability, and longer-lasting, more crease-free wear. This array of shades features a completely revamped assortment of shadows in new textures, and a redesigned token compact.
Formulated with Urban Decay’s Pigment Infusion System™, it acts as a vehicle for color that holds tightly to pigment so that the eye shadow can glide on seamlessly. It features a proprietary blend of ingredients that allows color to fuse with the formula, resulting in high-impact color that stays on your lids.
Sephora inside JCPenney Free Samples (no purchase necessary)
I search around and 5 of them are available at that time. I print them out (some of them are obviously scanned but okay to use!). I collect my 5 coupons and present them at checkout to redeem. Unfortunately, only 3 free samples are available. Here they are:
What I Thought: I like this kit, good value, good size and it contains items that I want to buy. Samples are okay (especially if you don’t buy anything and get 3 free samples to try!). I am a little bit disappointed that Peter Thomas Roth Retinol Fusion PM sample is not available. In terms of store, the store I went is small (as big as nail polish section of stand alone Sephora). BONUS: There is a BIG clearance section in the store!

Hi Leah, thanks for your comment! I went to stand alone Sephora(s) and asked if BI can get it, no luck. I wish I am VIB or VIB Rouge.

Hi Yami, rumor has it you will receive it if 1. you have their credit card AND 2. the store(s) near you has this monthly mail or email distribute to members. If you know someone in your neibourhood that receive it, you will receive it too. I am not posting links to online coupons (I used major search engine no trick) because it is too risky. Files are either pdf or image and they may have some virus or spyware. I hope that helps. If any readers have a better tips please share. Thank you for your comment Yami!
