School me on Sephora

[whiskeytails]

I am new to make-up in general. I have been using a lot of Clinque, which I love, but I want more sparkle in my life. I have found a few items on Sephora.

Do they have sales? I keep hearing about a club, what is that all about? When is a good time to buy?

The Beauty Insider club (give them your info, get a free card) lets you rack up 1 point for every dollar you spend. They offer deluxe-sized samples and sets at 100, 250, and 500 point denominations. There's also usually a 20% off event in the fall and again in the spring for Beauty Insiders, and sometimes a free gift card in the winter. Beyond that there aren't many sales, per se, except for discontinued merchandise online.

For when is a good time to buy, the next 20% off event looks like it'll be in November, so if you have some things you want to try I'd wait until then.

Proceed with caution!  Sephora will suck you in and the next thing you know you just spent $500 on lip gloss.

Ditto above. Plus $50 gets you free shipping (easy to do lol) there's always samples with purchases then usually a code (such as yourgift) for more samples.

Awesome, I anxiously await the 20% off.

Thanks ladies!
