(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!).

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.
Lol happy shopping! :)
Nope, sorry! :(
Thank you so much, R.! I hope you had a wonderful day yesterday!!! xo
Sure! They have some absolutely gorgeous perfumes. Some of my very favorites (in order):

Nice! Thank you, Valerie!! Will add to the list! xo
Good to know, Robin! Thank you!! And yeah, yikes on that price tag, right??
I got through. There was about 5 things in each catagory. I left the site sad and empty handed.
Don't see the lucky bags
Got through, nothing left. 2nd year in a row. I'm done. Thanks for the updates, glad you are on the mend! Looking forward to all the new ways you'll help me part with my mad money in the new year!
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.
when will the MAC Nutcracker be 40% off? It's still 25% off at their website.
Luckybags are still available. $75 plus $7 for 2-day shipping. Bags ship on the 6th.
If anyone is braving the stores, I saw a number of beauty items on clearance at Target.
G,the links in the comment above don't work: (
Lancôme - 2 FREE SAMPLES + 20% OFF $49 OR MORE W/ CODE THANKS
You have to add to your cart and then you'll see the discount.
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.
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!
I haven't heard anything yet, but I really hope they do it again this year!!
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!!
Thank you, Brittany!!! xo
Thank you!!! Will add to the list! xoxo
Ooh thank you, Jenny!!! Will add to the list! xoxo
UPDATE! Try this link--it's working for me as of 1:30PM Pacific:
http://bit.ly/2ixRV3f
Thanks, Lola! I just updated my listing with the working link. Yay!!!
I would not recommend the micellar water( green bottle). It did nothing for me.
I waited 2 hours to get into the Lush website this morning, and then got nothing.
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!!
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.
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
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.
Cake Beauty (cakebeauty.com) has 40% off everything with the code CAKEBOX40. The code is good on clearance stuff too!
Promo ends Dec. 27th @ 12 am EST.
Hum. They're working fine on my end! Are you copying and pasting into your browser?
So happy to see your email in my inbox! We were lost without you---so glad you are feeling better!
Glad you are back and keeping us updated.
FYI the 20% off of Too Faced Coupon does not work on PB&J Palette. Sad times. That's all that I want!
Glad you are back!!!
Had a lot of Xmas clearance at bath and body when I went yesterday if u want more of something I just asked and there is plenty more in the cabinets under the tables
So glad you are feeling better. I really missed seeing your blog. Wishing you lots of health and happiness in the New year.
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 :-/
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.
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
Benefit is having a Flash Sale. 1/2 off a bunch of cool stuff. Don't know end date. So happy to have you back!!!
Glad you are doing much better! You really were missed. I almost felt lost in diretion without your blogs. Be safe and well. Happy Healthy New Years to you and your's.
Dollskill online has many of the Lime Crime Velveteen and metallic lipsticks for 20% off
So happy to have you back! Stay well!
Kiehls. Now you can use code MERRY on gift sets too. up to $30 off
