UPDATE: The Balm 50% off Sitewide Flash Sale LIVE NOW (5/5 FROM 10AM - 2PM PST ONLY)

UPDATE: The sale is live NOW! GO GO GO here! Ends 2PM PST on 5/5!

Thanks so much to everyone who took the time to make sure I knew about this one!

IT'S BACK! theBalm is having another one of their famous flash sales! Tomorrow only (5/5) from 10AM PST TO 2PM PST,  you will receive 50% off sitewide on theBalm website HERE, no exclusions, no codes required. The discount should appear once you add something to your cart (I believe that's how it always goes with these flash sales).

Shipping is as follows:
  • $5 US
  • $20 Canada
  • $38 everywhere else

Start plotting NOW because you'll want to be ready the moment the sale goes live. Fingers crossed that the new website has better servers and we won't see the crashes we've seen in the past. Either way, plot now and set your reminders!

Fingers crossed, the website doesn't crash!

I want a couple of those eyeshadow sticks. I swatched it at Kohl's and it stayed on my hand for 2 whole days.

Liz said...

Can't wait!! Thanks for the head's up, I want the Matte Nude palette!

KenKenBeauty said...

Definitely going to try it!

Sofia said...

This is my first time participating in one of their flash sales, can you add stuff to your cart beforehand or will it get removed once the sale goes live?

Just FYI - I tried to log into my account, but it's saying there is no such account. I called customer service and they said this is happening to everyone right now. They said it should be fixed by 5pm PST.

Krystyn Lowe said...

I'm curious about the cart thing too!

kittyninja2000 said...

I wonder if https://thebalm.com/pages/design-your-palette will be included? Randi, I agree same thing when I swatched shadowsticks from Kohls

herrokittycakes said...

Thanks for the heads up! On TheBalm website, it says free U.S. shipping at the top? So I'm not sure if it is still $5. Just wanted to let you know.

chibi639 said...

Thanks for the heads up, but what you're really saying is, try to check out at 10am sharp, but most likely deal with the heartbreak of an epic server breakdown as usual. Lol. It happens every time and then theBalm kindly extends the sale to the next day.

Sofia said...

Yeah, on the promotional picture they posted on Instagram it says U.S. shipping will be $5

G. said...

No, it's not free shipping during this event. In the pic in this very post you can see in the fine print that it says $5 for US. Hope that helps!

G. said...

Exactly!!

G. said...

That's impressive! I haven't had something like that happen to me since the LORAC Take me to TANtego liners (when I swatched those for my review they stuck around for two days on my hand)! Love those types of products with amazing staying power. :)

G. said...

You're so welcome! You are going to LOVE the Meet Matt(e) Nude Palette! :)

G. said...

If you have an account (which you can create on their site) I believe you can add items to your cart that way and they will be saved. But it sounds like they're having issues with that right now (see hizzcheck's comment below).

G. said...

Thank you SO much for that extremely helpful tip! Hopefully they have it fixed by then! :)

G. said...

Please see both of my comments above! :)

G. said...

Pretty sure it will be, since I don't recall there every being exclusions during these flash sales. :)

G. said...

LOL noooooo! I am NOT saying that. I may be THINKING that, but I'm not saying it! Positive thoughts, girl. Positive thoughts! ;)

Randi said...

As of 5:45PM PST, I can't get to the website. It says " enter password" or something weird like that.

ReedShoot said...

The site is down for maintenance!? It says "the store will be opening soon..."!!! As of 8:52 east coast time

kittyninja2000 said...

They are down now, running tests for tomorrow- fingers crossed

bostonbecky said...

I was doing some pre shopping and noticed that they don't have the "in the balm of your hand" palette on their website. Bummer!! I guess I waited to long to pull the trigger and buy it :(

Natasastra said...

The site is working fine now.. as of 11 PM.. I added items in my cart, hopefully tomorrow will be a breeze checkout!

Unknown said...

at what time is it pst ? because i just ckecked out the website and nothing ;/

Unknown said...

Are they really having the flash sale now? It's not showing on my cart.

Randi said...

Just tried at 8:40amPST, can't get it.

chibi639 said...

Just placed my order. That went unexpectedly smooth! Good job on theBalm for being prepared. :)

Randi said...

Got 2 shadow sticks and a long lasting lipstick.

Krystyn Lowe said...

I was on at 9:45am PST and they had dropped prices already. In and out no problems! Yay.

J.J. in L.A. said...

I'm not a customer and I have my order ready (16 pan palette but it's not showing any discount. Do I need to have an account? Help!

J.J. in L.A. said...

Mine either. I have my cart all ready to go and it's showing regular price.

Unknown said...

had my palette in cart since 10am est time and checked back around 12:50 and discount was applied! in and out with no prob! first order with them! hope their eye shadows are awesome! lol

ReedShoot said...

I don't see any discounts in the cart. And I also don't see a link for "my account". And the website is not mobile friendly!! :-( help!

Unknown said...

I went crazy buying more than I need...well really I don't NEED anymore makeup at all, but it feels like I need it. Safe to say I'm a makeup addict and your site is an enabler. LOL! I have been wanting to get a few things from the Balm, but waited until they had a sale. I bought the Mary Lou Manizer full price at Kohls last year and love it. Today, I splurged and bought the Matt(e) Trimony palette, The Balm Jovi palette, an InStain blush in Swiss Dot and 2 of the Overshadows (the gold one and the copper one). I also love to gift makeup and picked up a Mary Lou Manizer for my niece's birthday.

Idzie Desmarais said...

I ordered one no problem! :D So excited.

Unknown said...

The prices are already reduced,your cart won't show a percentage off. Good luck! I got 4 shadow sticks and how bout them apples lip and cheek cream palette

Unknown said...

There's no discount for it since they already discounted the shadows, I thought there would be one too. I still bought it since it's still a great deal :)

Anonymous said...

Thank you for sharing this sale! I have been wanting the Nude'tude & the Nude dude palettes! So happy I got both for the price of one! Great sale!!

lovelyandroid said...

I had things in my cart from yesterday that were all gone today. There was no link to log into my account. No problem, re-added the things I wanted and checked out fine. I was able to get the custom palette and I am super happy.

Unknown said...

I missed this because of work!! Wahhh D:
Oh well I don't need makeup anyway. Maybe next time. Thanks for always updating these sales G! :)

kittyninja2000 said...

So happy for those who shopped yesterday! With much will power, I avoided partaking by going to the mall lol, to buy some things for my mom
