(More Deals Added) After Christmas 2016 Beauty Sale Round-Up


I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday and I want to thank you for the overwhelming response to my last blog post. WOW! You have no idea how much love I felt in those comments and how much it made my day, week, month and year! Seriously, this month has sucked for me and you all raised my spirits so, so much. I can never repay you for that. Thank you again for the outpouring of kind words and sweet messages. After being sick for so long, I had to cram a lot of pre-Christmas errands into just a few days and it was so hectic that I didn't have the opportunity to blog at all--I am so sorry about that!

But hopefully this post will start to make up for my absence. There's a lot going on starting today (12/26) and some of these sales are time-sensitive so let's get right to it! Thanks SO much to everyone who contributed tips to this list and if I missed anything, you know I would so appreciate if you left a tip in the comments below!

(Click the name of a retailer below to go directly to the website)

Lush - Lush only has one sale a year, and it starts TODAY, 12/26 at 9AM Eastern both online and in-store. Select items will be either BOGOFREE or 50% off. Try to log on as early as possible for the best selection because things sell out quickly (seriously, don't hesitate if you want anything).

(UDPATED) Beautylish - the annual Lucky Bags are still in stock (click that updated link to grab yours--it's still in stock as of 1:30PM Pacific on 12/26). These are mystery bags that retail for $75 + free shipping and the value of the bag is "at least $150". If you google "beautylish lucky bags" you'll see that last year some people got full-size Anastasia Beverly Hills eyeshadow palettes, IT Cosmetics mascaras, Natasha Denona palettes, RCMA powders, Wayne Goss makeup brushes and more. Certain bags had a retail value of $200. So it may be worth taking a chance on this one, even if you don't usually go for "mystery" bags.

Too Faced - there are couple of promos going on right now. First, check out the 50% off sale page here. Second, if you're buying any items that are NOT on sale and NOT new (doesn't apply sale page, Too Faced x Kat Von D collection, Sweet Peach collection, etc.), you can use code IPSTERLOVE2016 for 20% off your order + free shipping. For example, I tried that code with the Born This Way foundation and it worked. This code expires on 12/31.

Laura Geller - today only, 12/26, receive a free mini Gilded Honey with all orders ($18 value), no code required. You will also receive a free sample Spackle with all orders. Use code HOLLY30 for 30% off your order, and don't forget to check out the sale page here (the 30% off works with sale items!).

Lancome - right now you can get 20% off sitewide + 2 free samples + free shipping when you spend $49+ with code THANKS. Spend $75+ and you'll also receive a free full-size Eau Fraiche Douceur.

Tarte - Year End Sale is live now with new items up to 60% off and free shipping on orders $25+.

Kate Somerville - today only, 12/26, receive 25% off sitewide with code BOX16. Free shipping and 3 free samples with all orders.

Amazon (PRIME MEMBERS ONLY) - Amazon is doing their sample promo again! If you missed this last year, Prime members can click that link and choose from dozens of samples (several beauty options) to purchase for just a few bucks and when your samples ship, you'll get a credit for the price you paid for each sample, to be spent on the same brand in the future. So basically free samples and free shipping. After your sample(s) ship, you'll receive an email from Amazon letting you know that your credit is available to use, and there should be a link in that email that will take you to the qualifying items to use with your credit.

Did I miss anything? Please do comment below and fill us in! I'm guessing that some retailers will announce sales after I've gone to sleep (it's about 1AM on Christmas night as I write this) so I'll update this list again in the morning and probably throughout the day!

  16. Charlotte Tilbury face palettes are back in stock in her website. 75.00 limited edition. I so want to try one of these, but can't justify that price tag... they sold out quickly the first time around, so those who missed out, can try again.

    1. Good to know, Robin! Thank you!! And yeah, yikes on that price tag, right??

    1. I'm not sure, but I think they're sold out. You can try requesting access here:

      https://www.beautylish.com/shop/lucky-bag-2017

      But I think that even though that link says 2017 (these are the 2017 Lucky Bags), the page now says that access is over and to wait for next year's bag (2018). So sorry!

      Delete
    2. UPDATE! Try this link--it's working for me as of 1:30PM Pacific:

  18. Has anyone heard anything about whether Sephora will do their usual sale-on-sale this year (extra 20% off sale items)? It usually starts a few days after Xmas, if I remember correctly.

    ReplyDelete

    1. I haven't heard anything yet, but I really hope they do it again this year!!

  19. when will the MAC Nutcracker be 40% off? It's still 25% off at their website.

  20. Luckybags are still available. $75 plus $7 for 2-day shipping. Bags ship on the 6th.

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. Oooh, can you tell me how you got to them? The sign-up page is now reverting to the 2018 bag, so I assumed they were sold out. Thank you!!

      Delete
    2. Ooh thank you, Jenny!!! Will add to the list! xoxo

      Delete
    3. Sorry I didn't get back to you. I signed up for the notification last for the Luckybag about ten months ago and I think it's an early access situation. I can't wait to get mine! I love Beautylish and all the brands they carry, but most of it is so expensive. I think it will be hard to go wrong with this bag.

      Delete
    4. I just got an e-mail saying they were available (around 5pm), and they were still up when I looked a few moments ago at this URL: https://www.beautylish.com/shop/lucky-bag-2017
      I was tempted, but I didn't realize they would force you to get the $7 shipping -- with shipping and tax, the bag comes to $88.56. -- I can't justify spending $90 for a bag of random stuff.

      Delete
  21. If anyone is braving the stores, I saw a number of beauty items on clearance at Target.

  22. Lancôme - 2 FREE SAMPLES + 20% OFF $49 OR MORE W/ CODE THANKS

  23. Beautylish lucky bag is live for early access. They seem to be having trouble with the emails (people not getting it), so if you're still waiting for the email, check their twitter account for the link.

  25. You know I had to hit up that Lush BOGO & 50% off sale lol! Probably spent more than I should have, so I'll be having nice baths and smelling good all of 2017!!

  26. So glad you're healthy again, G! I figured you were just taking some much needed rest after the insanely thorough job you did with Black Friday and Cyber Monday, and it really made me realize how often I visit your little corner of the internet! Much love and wishes of good health xx

  33. Glad you're feeling better, G!

    My Walgreens had a bunh of stuff on clearance, along with Target.

    Also, some ELF items at CVS had the little pink 50% off stickers that they use for their semi-annual sale. I looked for others, but no luck :-/

    ReplyDelete
  34. Glad you're feeling better G! Happy holidays everyone!

    If anyone is interested in Korean Beauty skincare and/or want to try the Hada Labo Tokyo Gentle Hydrating Cleanser, there is an amazing deal at Harmon Face Values/Bed Bath & Beyond. There is a $5 coupon in the circulater for any Hada Labo product. They sell the 5 oz size of the cleanser for $5.99. So the total cost is about $2 for the 5 oz cleanser. For comparison, Target.com sells the 3.5 oz size for $8.49.

    ReplyDelete
  35. Also, has anyone heard if Sephora is going to do their "Sale on sale" event this year? I found the link from last year and it was running right about now: http://nouveaucheap.blogspot.com/2015/12/reminder-sephora-sale-on-sale-20-off.html
