HOW TO SHOP IT
1. If you aren’t a Sephora Beauty Insider – Become One
This is an absolute must - It gets you tons of Insider Benefits such as early access to items, a birthday gift and point perks. For details on the program check it out here.
2. Mark it on your Calendar and Do Your Research
About a month before the sale I start watching for spoilers on new spring and summer releases as this is the season where most new innovative products and new collections get released. I also check my supply of my most loved / used products, review what samples i've tried, loved and want to purchase a full sized product of. A great tip here is to keep your Loves List up to date on Sephora.com as it saves you time when online ordering instead of clicking around the entire site to find your favorites.
3. Shop Early, Maximize Your Orders and Get Cash Back
Since this is such a highly anticipated sale you will want to shop it as soon as you can - as some of the most popular items tend to sell out quickly. Also make sure to check your Rewards Bazaar and use up some of those hard earned points on new things to try out. Lastly, get an EBATES account. It is an online service that gets you cash back on items you are already purchasing at great rates. It is simple and easy to use.

NICE THINGS TO BUY
Makeup & Seasonally Specific Items
Been eyeing that new shade of lipstick? Can't live without that newly released blush? With new collections making their grand debut why not try something new and fresh ( for less dollars ). Also, it is a great time to pick up things for specific to these summer months whether that be a good SPF or sunless tanning products to give you the glow all summer long.
Restocks On Your Favorites
Running low? For me, it is the perfect time to get some of my must have and most used products, especially the pricey ones. I typically purchase things like skincare & foundation at a lower price point.
Caution: Check your expiry dates as there is another sale in November so only buy what you will use between now and then.
Beauty Tools
It is a great time to replace beauty staples at every price point from big to small. This includes makeup brushes, hair ties, lash glue or even big ticket items like hair styling tools or beauty tech.
Sephora Favorites & Value Sets
Want to try out that beauty brand everyone has been talking about? Or want to try a new line or skincare or just need to find your perfect nude lipstick but can't commit to a full size? The Sephora Favorites & Value Sets are a great way to try multiple new beauty buys without breaking the bank.
