Sephora Welcome Back Sale | Recommendations in Pairing Form

Christine — Sat, 15 Aug 2020 22:40:03 +0000

We’ll call this recommendations in the form of a little from column A and a little from column B. Sephora’s “Welcome Back” sale is on through August 23rd. Beauty Insiders can use code WELCOMEBACK for $15 off a $75+ purchase or $20 off a $100+ purchase–and it’s a one-time use code for online purchases (but has unlimited use in stores–please exercise caution and be safe should you shop in-store!).

It’s as Sephora always does–gives a little but not a lot. Whether you spend $75 or $100, you’re effectively getting 20% off that purchase (so long as you’re exactly at $75 or $100 but the more you’re over the threshold, the less you’re saving in terms of percentage). So, here are some recommendations that I think pair together well to get to either $75 or $100 thresholds (as close to them as possible but no more than $5 over!).

You can also check out my best of product guides here.

If you took advantage of this sale, I’d love to hear what you bought! Share in the comments.
