Very helpful. This is an amazing sale when you look at the crazy range of products at Sephora, especially high end. No place else comes close. But there are always folks still complaining, lolz. I hope Natasha Denona and P McGrath continue making some of the smaller, spin off palettes that are less spendy, like Denona with the mini-Sunset. Their shadows are both amazing, but I still think Anastasia shadows and lip glosses are the best bang for the buck in a more budget friendly range. The Charlotte Tilbury Flawless Filter is really beautiful. A great product.
It definitely depends on the brands you shop for! Neiman Marcus/Saks can get closer to 25% off/back (depending on how often you are spending money on beauty), and then Ulta gets to be totally ridiculous on % off/% returned as cash (some orders end up with the equivalent of 35-40% cash back from point multipliers). For BIs/VIBs, 10-15% is usually lower than a lot of brand-specific sales, and for skin care, places like b-glowing and Dermstore routinely offer 20% off promos.
Whoa, I did not realize the contrast could be so sharp with Ulta rewards! Very helpful info in planning for this sale.
Ulta rewards can be quite lucrative! Even for those who don’t spend much, the points’ events they run are frequent and useful enough that it’s hard not to earn more than the base level. For bigger spenders (like me), Ulta rewards are insanely good – they had a 20% off coupon (including prestige) running last week, and now they’re doing 4X points on all purchases for Diamond members. As a credit card holder (I pay off the balance every month), I get an extra point for every dollar spent, so when I spend $400, I earn 2,000 points, which converts to $125 off an order – 31% “cash back” (limited to spending at Ulta). In general, when retailers give $ back to spend at their store, it works if you are a regular shopper, but if you shop once or twice a year, then a % discount is usually better.
But here’s a crazy order — they had 10X points on Lancome, and on a $400 order, that earned 4,000 points (not even including credit card bonus), which is the equivalent of two $125 rewards (that’s the most efficient redemption level) — that’s a 62.5% back!
Ulta runs a lot of promos, too, throughout the year where they have meaningful 2x/3x/4x/5x/10x point events (often on specific brands or types of products but often on everything) – Sephora has one for fragrance and skincare (if I remember correctly), but Sephora points are often 1 point = $1 spent. You get a $100 Rouge Reward for 2,500 points – 4% back at a 1:1 point earning ratio. I think they highest they’ve had is 4X points on fragrance, so that’s probably going to be the “best” return scenario.
I loathe Ulta’s packing for online orders, I loathe that they charge $9.95 for 2-day shipping (minimizes damage to powder products in transit vs. their free shipping), and their website could use an update but rewards program? So good, and I definitely feel like they reward/work to EARN my repeated business as a higher spender. (They have also upped their customer service in the last few years re: broken products.)
Wow!! This breakdown is so helpful. This sale I’ll just get Sephora eye pencils, ILIA mascara, and a brush set I’ve been eyeing. Added Stila, DHC, and MAC items to my Ulta list.
This information certainly highlights the profit margin on cosmetics — anywhere!!!!!
Yes! You’re right. If your brand you want is at Ulta, the price can be great. But yiu can only use the discount code once and their range of brands isn’t even close to Sephora. Even at NM or Saks. And often specific sites don’t have free shipping so your savings is gone. I’ll get a notice of discount, and then the cost of shipping takes away most of the discount. IMO. In any case, I’m excited for this sale!
The only things I am planning to buy this sale is 1 drunk elephant product and 2 hourglass products. (Firstly because I don’t truly need anything else, secondly because those two brands aren’t widely available so the Sephora discount actually makes a difference.).
Such a great tip! I don’t know why I don’t shop at Ulta more often but this is a great reminder to always check multiple sites when shopping for a particular brand!
Thank you so much for the No-Buy & Low-Buy Support section! This is the first (and likely last) year I’ve been Rouge, and I’m torn between taking advantage of this status and sticking to my no-buy.
(On the other hand, I really want a neutral matte shade of Laura Mercier Caviar Stick. I don’t own anything that can dupe it, and it would be something I would definitely use several days a week. What to do, what to do…)
Really consider why you’re on a no-buy and what it would mean to break your no-buy and maybe why didn’t you already have a neutral matte shade in a cream/pencil form already – like if it’s something you feel you’d use several days a week, why don’t you already have it? (I don’t mean in that, “so go out and buy,” but in a “what stopped you before?” way.)
Here’s the story: I bought the Amethyst Caviar Stick last year and only used it once…didn’t really give it a fair chance because I was so used to powder shadows. About a month ago, I decided to try it again, and totally fell in love with it. Since then, I’ve been using it almost every day for my daytime office look. I own a LOT of powder eyeshadow palettes, but I’ve been spoiled by the ability to do a 5-minute eye look with the Caviar Stick. But I’ll stick to the no-buy, and not think about getting a new Caviar Stick until I get close to using up the one I have.
Thanks for helping me think this through!
Yay! That’s a good idea to wait until you’re through Amethyst!
Laura Mercier usually does a holiday set with a variety of caviar stick colors! I’ve gotten them in two separate years and it was a great way to try out a bunch of different shades (sometimes they include shimmer and matte).
If they have them this year, I will probably get them!
I’ve shopped a LOT at Sephora over the years: last year I was Rouge and through a deliberate decrease in purchasing I’m currently VIB. So it’s without judgement of people who are totally pumped for the sale that I say I think Sepora’s sales and rewards for their customers are ridiculous. Part of my opinion is influenced by what I now view as predatory practices toward picking up and then discontinuing indie companies (RIP OCC), but I’m also just really disappointed in the skimpy discounts they offer to great customers.
The 10% they offer regular Insiders is actually less than sales tax where I live, barely even a token discount.
As a VIB I’ve probably spent $200-300 so far this year and it’s still only April. That entitles me to 15% off, if the products I want don’t sell out during the Rouge tier only portion of the sale.
Then don’t even get me started on the relative “perks” of being Rouge to the amount of spending it entails. After I had spent the thousand dollars to get there last year, there really wasn’t much left I passionately wanted so there was little incentive to buy anything anymore, especially with such meh rewards and discounts.
I know Sephora is a business and doesn’t owe us freebies, but in the current market of coupon codes and flash sales, it seems like they don’t offer us incentive to shop with them. None of this would be a big deal, except this is supposed to be their big sale! TBH the only reason I see to shop their sale at all is if literally nobody else sells the product you want. You can get more money off from most other retailers when they aren’t advertising any particular sale. That’s actually what I did this year: I went to Briogeo’s site and saved more than I would have if I’d waited for the Sephora discount. The only thing I’m considering from them this year is the Fenty undereye concealer.
It’s always a good idea to sign-up for a brand’s specific ecomm emails/loyalty programs if you tend to shop that brand for staples (e.g. hair, skincare, etc.) as a lot of brands definitely offer slightly better discounts direct since they’ve cut out the retailer.
I’m in trouble on the 29th…I don’t believe that I can rein it in, either.
Doesn’t hurt to try!! 🙂
Mmmm…… PMG LuxeTrance lipsticks are my favorite. The MatteTrance are surprisingly (granted, I only have one) are surprisingly comfortable too.
I think I’ll be spending this sale on skin care. As I’ve only got one palette on my wishlist and will be saving that for the rouge giftcard reward. Though it’s always nice to pick up one of Sephora’s cream lip stains are they are hands-down the most comfortable liquid lips I’ve ever used.
The one thing I tend to prioritize during Sephora’s % off promos is brands exclusive to Sephora, like Sephora’s own brand, since you really can’t get them anywhere else for less!
LuxeTrance are my fave, too, and I’m always surprised that the MatteTrances are so much more popular 🙁
That’s definitely how I made my own personal wishlist, “What does Sephora exclusively carry?” followed by “Is it skincare? Cuz you really don’t need more cosmetics, get skin care.”
Soo….I’ve purchased skincare and one discount lip cream. I’d love to grab another PMG LuxeTrance, but I don’t know what other colors would be good on my skin (besides the ones I already own).
You are so, so lucky to have this kind of sale as it doesn’t happen at all here in Aus.
If you pick up any of the above eye palettes, blush palette or some lippies, products that you know you will use frequently, think of it as an investment.
If it were me, I would be picking up some lipsticks.
We just had a 20% off Sephora sale here in Aus! Sure we don’t have the same range of brands, but we certainly get the sale. Typically it happens a couple of weeks before the US, the Gold Sale here started the 3rd of April and Black was the 4th, and unlike the states all members get 20% off!
Thanks Carla, I didn’t know that Sephora Aus had a sale here…oh well, next time.
I am really trying to decide which Natasha Denona palette I want… I plan to purchase only one during the VIB sale along with some lippies. I have Lila and Tropic plus 4 of the smaller 5 pan palettes and use all regularly. I have been debating between Biba as a neutral to use with my other palettes (but it seems like such a boring palette to splurge on!), Gold (mainly because its stunning and I think it would pair well with Lila) or Safari (all matte appeals to me as well because I mainly use mattes with a pop of shimmer BUT I do own and regularly use ABH Subculture and it seems many shades are quite similar). Its such a tough call! I’d say Biba and Gold are nearly a tie and Safari is a close 2nd.. so now which one?!
I think if you enjoy Subculture, pass on Safari – it is a similar vibe – unless you are super into mattes or think you might finish Subculture. I enjoy both Biba and Gold, but sometimes I feel like Gold is a little redundant for something with only 15 shades, so you might look to see how many shades feel like they’re adding to your stash. Biba is definitely a workhorse type palette and complements her other palettes well.
I’m fussing over my picks, have only 6 products in my basket, 2 of which are refills on products I regularly use, and I’m making very good use out of Temptalia dupes in vanity feature. It has helped me to remove 2 pricier palettes which were tempting me until I realized a combo of other palettes I own cover the colour story.
Yay for dupes! I really love when people use that feature, because I feel like it is kind of hard to educate new readers on but it’s sooooo good (assuming what one tends to buy overlaps enough with what I review).
I have quite a list but trying to buy a balance of needs and fun stuff! And working to remind myself that I don’t have to buy it all now…that I can wait until I run out of things to rebuy. That’s helped me trim my list.
Are you picking up anything?? :o)
If anything new releases, probably those things! I usually end up buying things when they release vs. waiting for a promo, so I don’t often have much of a list when a sale starts, lol!
Ooo…hope you find some good buys with new releases then! :o) (I’m considering ordering the Dani lipstick…the only thing that will new release while the sale is on that I’m interested in!)
Looking through your list, Christine, it’s comforting (or maybe “comforting” is the wrong word) to be saying to myself “got that; got that, got THAT!”). Is the ABH Sultry palette (got that!) still available as Sephora in the US? It isn’t any longer here in Canada (and they cut the price just before phasing it out/discontinuing it; I was a bit miffed as I paid full price but now, I’m just comforted that I “got that”)
Yeah, Sultry is still on the US website for sale!
I am planning on buying the Christophe Robin Cleansing Volumizing Paste. I have never used anything like it and can only get 10% off on their website. It adds more volume and body to my hair than anything else has ever done.
I am also quite drawn to the ABH Norvina palette. I probably don’t need it, but I’d quite like to have it, I think!
I am on a no-buy 2019. Still reading these lists is very soothing and a nice distraction! when 2020 rolls, I will splurge on the Laura Mercier caviar sticks! Thank you Christine for the dupes section (I always check it before I lust over new products). More importantly, since I started reading Temptalia, I am more conscious of how much product I am getting for my hard earned bucks. I just saw a youtuber use one of the Chanel Rouge Crayon de couleur which is 1.2g for 36 euros. that’s a hard pass for me.
