#1. Try Before You Buy With Your Choice of FREE In-Store Samples on Makeup & Skincare! (Tip From A Sephora Employee)
Did you know you can test almost anything in the store before you buy it?? It’s true!
No purchase is necessary for you to grab free samples in-store at Sephora!
According to a Sephora Beauty Advisor employee I spoke with, if there is a specific makeup or skincare product you’d like to try before buying it, simply ask an employee for help.
She said if they don’t have samples already on hand, they can make you up a sample in a small pump bottle to take home! Talk about a sweet deal!
I can’t tell you how many times I’ve fallen in love with something just to try it and it didn’t work with my skin tone. So the Sephora samples can save you so much money to help you find the perfect products before committing to the purchase! Just keep in mind, no fragrance samples are available.
#2. Or Get FREE 2 Free Sephora Samples With Every Online Order! (Great for Travel)
For every order you place online, you’re eligible to receive 2 Free Samples from a list of available samples. This is such a frugal way to try different makeup without having to buy the full size version first!
I also recommend selecting Free Samples that you can use in place of Travel sized makeup.
Travel sized items at Sephora are often overpriced, so using the free Sephora samples you already get with your order is a super easy way to save money! Many of them fit great in those TSA bags when flying, too!
#3. Score A FREE Sephora Birthday Gift Every Year During Your Birthday Month!
Do you love freebies as much as I do?
All Sephora Insiders (free to join) get a generous Sephora Birthday Freebie every year!
Simply stop by your nearest Sephora store any time during your birthday month to get your freebie. No purchase required. You’ll usually have about 5 different options to choose from, but stock can vary from store to store.
Or if you’d rather claim your freebie online, you can add that to any order of $25 or more.
You can never score enough free stuff for your birthday!

#4. Become a FREE Sephora Beauty Insider to Earn Sephora Rewards with Every Purchase!
Be sure to join the ‘Free’ level of the Sephora Beauty Insider rewards program to receive exclusive savings and discounts.
Want the inside scoop about upcoming Sephora sales? As a Beauty Insider you’ll be notified of Sephora sale dates, which typically happen in April, August and November… think Black Friday!
Like rewards programs at other stores, you’ll also earn 1 point for every $1 spent.
Once you accrue enough points (at least 100), you can cash them in for free travel size products, skin care kits, beauty tools, makeup bags and more!
#5. Get Sephora Free Shipping on Every Order! (No Minimum Purchase)
Did you know another perk of being a Sephora Insider is FREE shipping on every order?
No minimum purchase is required!
Score!!
#6. Skip the $20 Beauty Blenders and Get a Dupe on Amazon for About $1!
Now I LOVE a good Beauty Blender… but did you know there are Beauty Blender Dupes on Amazon for about $1 each?
It’s true… and they work amazing! I’ve been purchasing the knock-offs on Amazon for years, and I’ve found them to work just as well!
Pocketing that extra $19 is such a simple way to Save Money Fast!
#7. Clean Your Beauty Blender to Make it Last Longer!

#8. Scour Each Aisle for Hidden Sephora Clearance Deals (Up to 72% Off)
Most Sephora stores don’t have dedicated clearance sections.
That means you’ll want to make sure you walk each and every single aisle looking for red clearance tags intermingled with regular-priced merchandise.
You never know what you might find!
#9. Mark Your Calendars for the Annual November Sephora Sale for the Deepest Discounts! (Tip From A Sephora Employee)
Have you been eyeing something in particular you’d love to try? After you’ve sampled the product for free and added it to your ‘Definitely’ list… then wait.
According to a Sephora Beauty Advisor Employee I spoke with, you’ll want to wait until November for best deals at Sephora!
You just might see that very thing you’ve been swooning over drop in price with a nice discount!
#10. Also Shop the Sephora Sale on Black Friday for up to 50% off!
Want even more deals?
During your Black Friday shopping frenzy, don’t forget to check out the Sephora Black Friday Sale and see if anything on your wish list drops in price!
#11. Check the Sephora ‘Beauty Offers’ Page for the Latest Sephora Coupon Codes!
Did you know Sephora has coupon codes?
It’s true! I just recently saw a code for free same day delivery!
Always check the “Beauty Offers” link (located under the ‘Sale and Offer’ tab) on Sephora’s site for today’s top Sephora coupons and discount promo codes before you checkout.
Just enter the code at checkout to stack up the savings!
#12. Save Even More When You Know the Sephora Return Policy! (Gently Used Products Included)
Sephora has a pretty generous return policy.
Don’t like that lipstick you just purchased… after using it 3 times?
You can probably return it for a full refund at your local store. Some colors just don’t work on certain skin tones, but you may not know until you’ve tried it at home, right?
Before you go shopping at Sephora, I highly recommend taking a moment to familiarize yourself with the Sephora Return Policy!
This is an easy way to save money… or at least not waste your money in case you change your mind!!
#13. Try New Lush Skincare Products From Top Brands at In-Store Events!
Did you know that Sephora regularly hosts free in-store events?
At these events you can get more samples to try of high-end skincare products like Tatcha, Topicals, and more.
See what Sephora Events are happening at your store when you call your local store to see what upcoming Sephora Events are happening near you.
#14. Get the Sephora App for App-First and App-Only Products!
Want access to new products before they hit the store? Or would you like exclusive access to app-only products?
Go take a minute to get the Sephora App and you’ll be the first to know!

Oh my word, Heidi, I didn’t know about half of these – thank you! I’m pretty new to makeup so I knew about the birthday club but nothing about getting samples or special sales or anything else. I can’t wait to take advantage of this. My skin is pretty sensitive and there’s nothing worse than spending a lot of money on products that you can’t use because they break your skin out. Hugs, CoCo
That’s so true, CoCo… I’ve done that in the past, and it’s the worst! That’s why I love the ‘try before you buy’ options at Sephora. They really are a game changer!
So many fabulous ideas. Will have to sign up during our birthday month. The store is a bit different in HK but I am sure they have some of the similar offerings.
That’s fantastic… I’m so glad you liked the tips, and have a Sephora nearby!
