ANYWAY, If you're like me, you're probably looking around at boxes full of new makeup purchased during Black Friday, Cyber Monday, etc., telling yourself you're going to use up everything you now own before you buy Even. One. More. New. Thing. But if you're like me, you're still looking at deals online...just to see what's out there. I mean, because there are some great end-of-year deals right now, and we at least want to know what we COULD be saving if we were to purchase anything. Right??
Hashtag: WINDOWSHOPPINGISINNOCENT.
That said, I just want to take a moment to give you some reminders about some sales/events that are ending very soon, and also mention some new deals that I've just discovered today (while innocently window-shopping, of course). So here we go:
ENDING TODAY (12/31)

- Today (12/31) is your last chance to use code 205730 for $5 off your $15 non-prestige online purchase on the Ulta website. Ulta has added some new Ulta beauty products to their site today, and all Ulta beauty products are currently BOGOFREE. Using that code on top of the BOGOFREE would make for a mighty fine deal. Here are the new items in case you want to check them out:
- New Ulta Slim Line Brow Pencil

- Today (12/31) is your last chance to take advantage of the Sally Beauty "Up to 75% off" clearance sale HERE. Also, ALL CHINA GLAZE PRODUCTS ARE BOGOFREE HERE (including clearance and gift sets!). Use code 555273 for $5 off any $25+ order. Free shipping on orders $50+, so using that code is like getting shipping free.
- Today (12/31) is your last chance to take advantage of the 50% off sale page sale on the Too Faced website HERE. Free shipping on orders $50+. (Thanks to readers Marcy and Elizabeth for this tip!)
- Today (12/31) is your last chance to use code STOCKING at Dermstore HERE for $10 off any $50+ order. OR you can use code NEWYEAR for 20% off sitewide (expires 1/3).

Speaking of prestige makeup, the theBalm Mr. Write Now Set HERE is still on for $17; regularly $34 (you can't use those codes with theBalm, but still a great price for 3 full-size eyeliners).
ENDING TOMORROW (1/1)
- Tomorrow (1/1) is your very last chance to take advantage of the additional 20% off all items on the Sephora sale page HERE. Use code EXTRA20 at checkout. Ends 1/1. Sephora added some new items to the sale page last night, but I'm hoping they're saving the best for last and that they will add some new surprises between now and tomorrow (fingers crossed).

ENDING 1/2
- Now through 1/2, CVS is offering 20% off sitewide with free 2-day shipping on all orders with code SAVE20. Discount does not apply to items on sale--only regular-priced items. (Thanks to several of you for that tip!)
ENDING 1/3
- At Nordstrom Rack HERE, now through 1/3, receive an additional 25% off clearance items both online and in-store. As I've mentioned in the past, Nordstrom Rack does not have beauty products on their website, but in-store you may find some gems on clearance right now (Urban Decay, Stila, Essie, Smashbox, etc.) so if you're near a Nordstrom Rack before this sale is over, definitely pop in and see what you can find. Beauty clearance items vary wildly from store to store.
ONGOING OR NO END-DATE SPECIFIED; SOME DEALS MAY END OR SELL OUT SOON
- The annual Lush BOGOFREE sale is still going on HERE, and they have restocked many items (also still valid in-store). (Thanks to several of you for that tip!)

- Macy's hasn't added much to their beauty sale page HERE lately (free shipping on all beauty orders), however I did notice that they now have the Philosophy Purity Cleansing Device HERE, which comes with the device plus a 4 oz. Purity Made Simple, for $39.50 (regularly $79). They also have Stila Smudge Sticks for $11 (50% off) HERE, and they still have a few Philosophy 16 oz. holiday shower gels for $9 (50% off) HERE and HERE.
- Beauty.com currently has all Soap & Glory products 20% off HERE .Also, repeated from my original post-holiday wrap-up: Beauty.com has a ton of items on their beauty clearance sale page HERE (free shipping on orders $35+). Too Faced Little Black Book of Bronzers $24.50 (originally $49), Too Faced Sugar Pop Palette $18 (originally $39), NARS Dual Intensity Eyeshadow Palette $63.20 (originally $79), Stila Magnificent Metals Eyeshadows $24 (regularly $32) and much more.

A few new items that I noticed today include this bareMinerals Lash Domination Mascara Set (one full-size mascara and one travel-size) for $12.60 (regularly $18). Also new is this Stila eyeliner set for $14. I believe the Smudge Stick in that set is full-size (retail: $22).
- The Foreo Luna Mini has dropped to $99 at Ulta HERE and Macy's HERE. This is still $139 at Sephora. (Thanks to reader Mili for that tip!)
- b-glowing is stil having a crazy blowout sale with items from 40% - 75% off HERE, including select products from brands like Rouge Bunny Rouge, Butter LONDON, Cargo, By Terry, Indie Lee, Paul & Joe, and much more.

- Yves Rocher is still offering 50% off sitewide HERE and you can enter code 15ROCHER for an additional 15% off your order. As always, tons of gifts with purchase (depending on how much you buy) and free shipping on orders $35+. (Thanks to reader Lcook for these tips!) As always, my number one recommendation during this event is THIS FRAGRANCE (you can read my full review HERE). And if you're a Lily of the Valley fan, THIS is my favorite Lily of the Valley fragrance of all time. I honestly cannot recommend it highly enough. If I could buy each one of you a bottle of both of these fragrances, I would. (This is in no way a paid endorsement; I'm just a huge, long-time fan of Yves Rocher fragrances. For the money, they're one of the best perfume houses in the world to me).
You don't even want to know what I've returned so far( Buyer's remorse).
ReplyDeleteLunatick Cosmetic Labs is offering free worldwide shipping until Jan. 1st with the code: shipyouaway Just thought you might want to know as I am tempted myself!
ReplyDeleteOk, I just about died laughing when I saw that meme. I literally was JUST ordering some makeup (from a deal YOU provided, thank you!) ;) and thought to myself, "You're good, you're good. You still have some time before 2016. Just hit "place order" already." Haha!
ReplyDeleteHappy new year and thanks for all your hard work! :)
Happy new year G!! Thank u for another amazing year of the best deals. Ur work ethic is unbelievable and so appreciated! All the best to u and urs in the new year!!
ReplyDeleteHappy new year! Many thanks for all your hard work, I've certainly benefitted from your excellent advice! See you next year ;)
ReplyDeleteThank you for all the hard work you do. We all LOVE you for it. As I just arrive home with new Wet n Wild, Maybelline and L'Oreal. XOXO Happy New Year G
ReplyDeleteMy husband had the nerve to say I have enough makeup, then bought me clothes for Christmas!! He usually gives me cash to buy what I want! I'm pretty certain he was knew I would buy makeup with it!! Duh..! He says he still owes me more stuff!! (insert wicked laugh here) 😆 Thanks for everything, G!! XOXO 😍
ReplyDeleteThanks for these tips. Does anyone know if the CoverGirl The Roses palette is exclusive to Ulta? I was at 2 CVS stores today, and they both had a display with only the Goldens and the Nudes. I wanted all three, because that would put me at the $30.00 to get the $10 ExtraBucks...
ReplyDeleteCheck Walgreen's. I saw it there.
DeleteThank you for the Yves Rocher reminder! I love their eyeshadow quads, skincare and fragrances. Quelque Notes d'Amour and Naturelle are my favorites. I only wish they had all the peach scents here in the US.
ReplyDeleteWent to Nordstrom Rack and saw the NARSisst dual eyeshadow palette for ~$50 but still couldn't buy it. I wanted the Too Faced book and bronzers but they were all opened and swatched. My Nordstrom Rack is always a hot mess so I don't get typically buy the makeup there.
ReplyDeleteHappy new year! I've been a silent lurker on here for a very long time now, so now is as good a time as ever to tell you that this is by far one of the very best blogs I've found. Thank you for all your hard work G, and I hope you and your loved ones had fantastic holidays <3
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for all you do here! Currently placing an order for Bath and Body Works and almost forgot to use the code. I love this site and love all you do. Happy New Year 2016!! See you later!!! :)
ReplyDeleteLOL at the meme! Awesome. Too true!
ReplyDeleteI used the Ulta $5/15 on the NYX Simply lip cream sets and WOW what a deal. Those are normally $6 or so, but the sets of 3 are $6.99, so I got them and used the code
ReplyDeleteG
ReplyDeletebh cosmetics offering 20% site wide till 3rd Jan ;)
Aaah hahahahahhahaha! That meme is too funny. It's taken me one year to finish a tiny elf Lip Balm Tint! It's a tiny drop in the ocean of makeup I now have to use up!!!

ReplyDeleteThank you G for all the wonderful work you have done. I have been with you for all these years! I'm not going to get sappy either, though I could very easily! I just want you to know that you and your writing style brightens my day!!! Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteI have to laugh at that meme. My goal was to not buy makeup for a while in 2016 and then after dinner with two glasses of wine and being near an Ulta ... let's just say the Full Throttle lipstick by NYX is awesome...reminds me of Revlon's ColorStay formula in the 1990s, though I think that's more wishful thinking on my part, but this new stuff does last.
