Beauty Land Bargains and Sales

June 29th, 2008 by Karen 12 Comments

*LAST UPDATED: 7/1/2008

So, tonight I’m on the hunt for beauty bargains and sales, trying to track down the mythical 50% off everything at MAC coupon code (lol, I wish!). I haven’t found any superb deals so far (Shu’s 20% off Friends & Family sale ends tonight, bummer), but a number of companies, like MAC and Sephora, are offering deep discounts on select summer products. Quite a few also do free shipping on purchases over a certain amount.

Here’s what I’ve got so far: these are ongoing sales and promotions at some of my favorite beauty and cosmetics companies. Most of them are only valid online (unless specified otherwise) and, unfortunately for ya’ll overseas, only apply to orders shipped in the continental US.

Ladies, if you find any cool makeup and beauty sales, coupon codes or promotions (international ones too) and leave them in the comments, I’ll update this post with the new info. 🙂

    Mario Badescu: offer code 325527 for 15% off until 7/04 (I think)

    Urban Apothecary: PRO50 for 15% off on orders $40 and more.

    Yeah, I want to know the elusive 50% off everything at MAC discount code too. Did you get the California Dreamin’ lipstick?

    I noticed that Victoria’s Secret has a big 50-75% off sale with their cosmetics and body care items. If you want to be in style this fall, you had better pick up one of their golden glosses in a tube for 75% off! I do not buy my underwear there. I am not sexy enough. hahahahahaha

    The mythical 50% MAC coupon would come in REALLY handy lately 🙁 I’m still trying to build up a neutral collection for my blue eyes and that’s where the $$ goes! haha 🙂 Thanks for the heads up with Sephora. Love that store!

    I found this Stila code on Slickdeals. It’s 40% off and free shipping:
    The following taken from the posting ~

    Stila Cosmetics 40% off + Free Shipping at StilaCosmetics.com
    Stila Cosmetics is having 40% off PLUS Free Shipping on their website until 6/17.

    No minimums to my knowledge.

    Promo Code: STILAPRO

    I believe this is US Only

Welcome to Makeup and Beauty Blog
Hi there! I’m Karen, your friendly neighborhood beauty addict, and I’m a Bay Area girl who hoards brown eyeshadow and covets coral lipstick. Every morning, I wake up and say, “I’m going to do something other than a smoky eye today.” Then…I end up doing a smoky eye anyway (most days). When I’m not putting on makeup, taking pictures of makeup or writing about makeup, which I’ve been doing daily since 2007 (!), you’ll find me hanging out with my hubby (“El Hub”), my four-year-old daughter (Connor Claire) and my torbie girl cat (Pretty Girl Rosie, a.k.a. PGR).
