: Save 25% on everything when you spend $50 or more on smashbox.com with code SBXFF14, ends 12/1. - ULTA: Too Faced Complete Matte Eye Palette for $39 (regularly $45), ends 11/29.
I did indeed buy a few items at the Sephora VIB .. once I could actually log into Sephora 😛
Monica.
I feel you on that sephora wait! I almost quit Sephora! Haha! There was no way I could make it mobile, so the decade wait on the laptop lent to me was a relief! But it only let me have a few seconds each time and I had to re-login.. So frustrating! “you’re almost there” Really? Dude, best April Fool’s joke ever! 😉
Is there a discount for beauty insiders at Sephora?
Not that I know of!
Check the Beautytalk forum at Sephora. Some generous VIB and Rouge members have shared their unused friend codes. A few people were able to use it today (looks like the sale is still on).
Christine, did you know that Lime Crime is now available at Sephora?
I didn’t, but I don’t keep tabs on that brand!
Me too! I was surprised to see LC at Sephora, with all the drama associated with that company. Before I forget – thanks very much for reviewing the NYX Wicked line! Just saw them online at Ulta. I’m glad to have a cheaper alternative to LC from a company with a better reputation 🙂
I can’t thank you enough for all the brilliant work you do here. I always check your site first for anything related to beauty and you’ve introduced me to many great brands. I hope you enjoy some proper down time, even with all the holiday collections coming up.
It is surprising at the very least!
Thank you!
Beauty.com and drugstore.com discounts never apply to my account for some reason. I always click on the link and sign into my account but still won’t work. I called the customer service a few times. They were always not very helpful.
The only thing I know to do is clear cookies/cache, because if you had a previous offer in your cart, it won’t activate the new one. You might be able to try a different browser.
Thanks Christine! I think it’s working.
Yay!
Hi Christine, not sure if its a typo, but what’s 40% off + free shipping? Or is it related to Clarins? Thanks for doing all these lists! I made like 3 trips to Sephora + an online order… *waves goodbye to money*
The Body Shop
Thank you, Christine. So far I have enjoyed Urban Decay, Too Faced and Sephora’s F&F. I’m eagerly waiting for Nars and will keep checking this post.
It’s such a shame that the Sephora sale wasn’t for beauty insiders this year. I was looking forward to it for months and was planning on getting the Sephora Favorites Superstars collection. :-/
They had friends and family for beauty insiders a little over two weeks ago with 20% off.
Drugstore.com (Beauty.com’s sister site) has a sale too! 15% off any order off $75 or more + free shipping.
PSA! PLEASE READ!
The Beauty.com extended F&F family sale is very different now. The original F&F sale had only 2-3 brand exclusions. It now excludes NARS and Urban Decay, which stinks because it was great for non-Sephora VIB’s due to the brand overlap. The full list of current exclusions:
“Discount valid on Beauty.com items only, excluding gift cards and certificates, backordered, out-of-stock items or items from the following brands: essie, Jack Black, Jane Iredale, L’Occitane, MALIN + GOETZ, MenScience, NARS, Perricone MD, SARAHPOTEMPA Tools, Urban Decay. Cannot be redeemed for cash. While supplies last.”
Honestly, I used to appreciate Beauty.com for their sales and how they carried a lot of international and lesser known brands but as a previous loyal customer, I find this change to be arbitrary and frustrating. I only discovered this after seeing the extension and had tried to place another order to pick up a few NARS lip glosses/UD pencils and saw that the offer was not working. I was bewildered since just the day before, I had ordered NARS and UD items which received the discount. Lo and behold, the fine print had changed. I suppose it has to do with the vendors/brands when it comes to exclusions but why was NARS and UD not exempt during the first round of the sale?
Also, their offers and special promotions are not user-friendly at all. Instead of entering coupon codes, you have to click links. This means that if you wanted to use a different offer or coupon code (since they tend to have multiple offers going on at once, and also occasionally send you coupons that have codes) you either have to contact customer service to remove whatever “offer” remains in your bag, or clear your cookies/cache as Christine mentioned before. In addition, their interface is terrible.
Ok rant over. Happy hauling yall!
Thank you for the heads up – that is a lot more brand exclusions. I believe there were only two before (I remember Jane Iredale) – and I did order Jack Black products on the 7th and had the discount applied.
I’d SO be taking advantage of that Too Faced sale if it weren’t for the fact that the Melted Kisses set was sold out.
I might have to use that Too Faced deal to get some more products to review!
Quick question about the post overall as I see it’s an affiliate link. Did you seek out and find the affiliate network or did they reach out to you? I’m still relatively new to the blogging world and don’t know how to go about it.
Hi Laura,
It just depends on the network and program!
Hi Christine,
Do you think Ulta will be doing a 20% off your entire purchase promo soon? I know they did a 20% off one item sale a week or so ago. I have more than one item I want to purchase from there! 😉
Thanks!
Debbie
No idea!
B-glowing also has a 20% off sale till Nov 15. No sales tax in CA and 7% cashback from a popular cashback site is a plus. $75 for free ship tho. They don’t have some brands carried by sephora or beauty.com but I go there for Anna Sui and Paul and Joe 🙂 They have gorgeous holiday collections.
Beautyhabit is having 20% off until sun, Nov. 16th. The code is LOVEBEAUTYHABIT
Is the beauty.com link still working for anyone? When I click through, I don’t see the offer being applied. I’ve tried clearing by cache, browser, everything. I just don’t know if this is happening to just me or if it is happening to everyone!
They ended the sale early, unexpectedly 🙁
Hey, whatever happend to the Beauty.com sale link??
They ended the sale early, unfortunately!
Hi Christine
I’m looking for the link to the beauty.com sale that was here earlier and I can’t seem to find it. Can you help me please?
They ended the sale early 🙁
awwww that sucks. Thanks. I’ll get the stuff from skin store. They have a sale $10 off $60, $20 off $100 and $50 off $200 until the 17th . Time to stock up on skincare 🙂
oh I love Juice Beauty! Did you get a package from sephora yet? I still waiting and waiting.
I have received all of the orders that were successful 🙂
FYI It cosmetics is only 25% off a purchase of $30 or more. The code wouldn’t work for me so I sent them an email. Nowhere on the site does it say you have to spend $30!
Ohhhh can you please tell me where best to shop Charlotte Tilbury? I need it discounted!!! 😀 I love you! 😛 Thank you so much for all of these heads up! Now if I can only remember to go through Ebates, or learn how. 😛
Truly appreciate this as I get so caught up with life and a few specific sales that I completely forget other FF sales and various events. Much appreciated! Now off to do some shopping from a couple listed above. I did some lovely “damage” at the Sephora sales and am ready to hit up a few more items. Best regards!
I placed an order at Kiehls (Canada) and did not get free shipping with the code. The 20% off applied however.
Kate sommervile is doing 25% off till 12/1. Hopefully hourglass and Becca will have sale!
