Yes, Chanel! I don’t even need them to go on “sale,” but a customer appreciation discount once or twice a year would be very appreciated. :p

That’s a tough one as there are quite a few brands I forbid myself from buying from due to their expense but would snap up in a heart beat if there was a good sale. Chanel for sure, as it’s a luxury I’ve long envied but have never once caved in and bought from, Guerlain falls in that category too, but I’m fan of Nars shadows (which I do occasionally splurge on) and would love to see a sale there too.

Hey! Chanel can be on sale with Bergdorf Goodman’s beauty gift card event! ($25 off $100) I couldn’t do it this year though 🙁

Thank you for your awesome reviews 🙂 I got Dragon Rouge Allure Laque last year (with 2 other lipsticks and a polish) and I love that product the most, I want them to make a dark berry red in that formula!

I want MAC to go on sale again so bad! I think I buy more MAC than anything. They are the most exciting make up brand with all their collections!

Since my illness has disfigured my face Dermablend. I know I will need at the very least 2 different shades to cover and even my skin tone but I’m still a makeup addict and I know I’m going to spend the cash.

NARS! I don’t use blushes enough to spend 20$ on each, but if they went on sale i’d stock up on the ones I haven’t bought yet 🙂

Ooh, for makeup, I’d love if Chanel or Guerlain went on sale.

For skincare, DECLEOR! My BABY!

For haircare, Kerastase, or maybe Aveda.

MAC. OMG THEY NEVER EVER EVER HAVE A SALE (BUT I REMEMBER HEARING THEY FEEL THEIR PRODUCTS ARE PRICED SO LOW FOR A “HIGH END” BRAND, SO THEY FEEL A SALE IS UNNECESSARY). THE CLOSEST THING TO A SALE IS FREE SHIPPING ONLINE. SMH.

I did actually get a discount on Guerlain, just ordered 2 of the Rouge G’s (Gillian and Gini) and Debenhams have a great offer at the moment: you get 750 points on your beauty club card if you spend over £40, plus 5 points for every £1 spent, so I just got 1020 points (=£10.20) on my card to spend on beauty products! That’s nearly 19%, not too shabby! 🙂

I have to agree with you with Chanel! I actually just woke up because I had a dream I bought the Dragon Rouge Allure Lip Laque and that it cost $130 cdn and in my dream I totally bought it with my boyfriend just glaring at me because I was using my credit card that I’m trying to pay off!

MAC. At the very least on their “good buys” on the website. Or, a loyal customer appreciation sale.
Got any pull on this one, Christine? 😉

Chanel! Twice a year Bon-Ton does their Goodwill Sale and all makeup and perfume is included. It is 15% off which is better then nothing. I spent way too much on Chanel at the last sale. :0)

MAC, Benefit, Urban Decay. Those are the brands I buy from often, so I’d rather those go on sale and I get tons of stuff I want rather then splurge on Chanel or Dior on sale, cause I’d still consider it a splurge, I’m a college student. 🙁

FYI – Lord & Taylor runs a Shop Smart Do Good event in some of its stores where you give a donation and get 2 coupons, one of which is usable for cosmetics and fragrances. See if your local store is running the event after all, getting a discount on Nars is always a nice thing!

MAC because they never have any sales or even coupons or a “frequent buyer” programm.

Bobbi Brown cause I like her products but they’re overpriced.

MAC. All’s Good has been out since last January. Not a lot of folk’s are interested. But if you put it on sale, MAC, I’d buy a backup or two for sure.

I wish Tarte would go on sale! Tey sometimes have really good online sales, but not for a while… I use their tinted moisturizer and love the cheek stains. I’m also dying to try to eye liners 🙂

Honestly…what brand WOULDN’T I love to see on sale? I cannot resist a sale on cosmetics, and have bought some ridiculous items just because of the low prices…

But probably some stuff I have not tried before like Illamasqua or Guerlain.

i would definitely save a lot of money if Chanel and Guerlain go on sale once in while…but i guess that’s why they are luxury brands and need to be top quality right?

MAC did have a sale once that I remember. I think it was about a year & a half ago or so.. idk if it was in stores but everything online was 20 or 25% off. It was wonderful! I’ve been waiting and hoping they’d do it again :-/
