PSA: Sephora is having a massive winter sale!

Earning your stripes as a dedicated beauty-lover is a total honour (and a stunning one at that). But what people don't realise comes with the bags and bags full of everything from skin care to hair care and of course, an extensive makeup collection is also... debt. Well, we hope you're not putting yourselves in that position at least. But we totally get the feeling of doing the necessary 'beauty top up' shop and coming away feeling, um broke.

But what if we told you, you don't have to wait a day longer to get that all important shop done? Amazing news, right? Totally! But how? Well, Sephora really said EOFY, who? Let's extend the sale season and splurge a little longer with their winter frenzy sale. Um, sign us up, our carts are already full. 

So, let's see how to score the epic Sephora sale deals...

Sephora Winter Frenzy Sale

Is there any better words to hear than 'Sephora Sale'? We'll wait. Nope didn't think so! We can hear angels singing every time we think about this glorious winter sale. With this incredible sale giving you the perfect reason to go try out the new trend (is it time to jump on the colour mascara bandwagon?), you can finally switch over your seasonal skin care or just stock up on the everyday faves. 

When does the Sephora Sale start?

So, we know why we're shopping (do we actually need a reason?). But when can we get our clicking fingers (or walking feet if we must) ready to peruse the categories? 

Well, first off you're getting the inside scoop (you're welcome), because this sale doesn't start until 10pm on Wednesday 17th July (online) and of course, as soon as doors open on Thursday 18th July. And although you might want to snap up your faves before they sell out (because you know some will), you've actually got a few days to shop the sale! You'll be scoring discounts for days because the sale doesn't end 'til 11.59pm Sunday 21st July, that's 97 hours of prime shopping time there people.

Sephora discount code? 

Okay, pause. Screenshot this, because when you're frantically trying to check out, you're going to need this info! 

First up, are you a Beauty Pass Member? Because if you aren't, you won't be able to snap up all the fantastic deals. So, quickly go sign up (trust us, it's worth it) and then get ready for the secret intel.

Okay, you ready? In this Sephora Winter Frenzy Sale, you'll be able to score up to 20 per cent off sitewide (minimum spend of $120). Yep, girl math it with us. If you buy five similarly priced items at 20 per cent off that's basically one free. Ya welcome. 

But you NEED to use the special discount code: WINTER to be eligible for the great deals.

What to shop in the Sephora Sale

Fenty Beauty Gloss Bomb Stix

From $39 at Sephora

Are we going to collectively buy every single product Rihanna ever releases? Our ever growing beauty draw (okay, drawers, plural, you caught us) is making it look like we will. Why? Because they're amazing, one. Two, for at least these brand new glossy sticks, they've been formulated to actually care for your pout while you're wearing them. And of course, the shine is totally unparalleled. 

Key features:

• Enriched with vitamin E, shea butter and squalene 
• Locks in moisture for eight hours 
• Ultra-glossy 

Moroccanoil Treatment Purple

From $57 at Sephora

Um, hello brand new launch. Yep, we're hard-launching this blonde-saving treatment into the sale. Because who would have ever imagined being able to reduce the dreaded blonde curse of brassiness (why?!) with a nourishing treatment oil? Not us! But boy will we take several bottles. Designed (with violet pigments) to not only colour (and tone)-correct this treatment works on boosting your strands radiance and shine too. Yep, we're sold. 

Key features:

• Works to neutralise brassiness 
• Argan oil-infused 
• Restores vibrancy

Benefit BADgal Bang! Volumizing Mascara

From $49 each at Sephora

Coloured mascara. It's the trend that comes and goes in and out of fashion more than we'd like to admit TBH. But that doesn't mean with every round trip the products don't get that bit better. Although we're not sure how the fan-favourite BADgal Bang mascara is ever going to be beaten. With some seriously unbeatable smudge-proof abilities these three new colours are going to stand out (and stand up) for quite some time. Pick your player between neutral chocolatey brown (rebel brown), an unexpected, but celeb-loved maroon (wild plum) and vibrant neon blue (powder blue). Or you know, snap up all three!

Key features:

• Trending coloured mascara 
• Same great volumising formula
• Designed to last 36 hours without smudging 

What brands are on sale?

If you've scrolled through the 'brands' section on Sephora, you know there are loads of top-tier beauty brands to choose from. So, you know we'd literally be here for hours if we listed all of our faves that are going on sale. Instead we'll let you know what you won't be able to (unfortunately) pick up in this sale. 

Exclusions include: 

• Markdowns, Gift Cards, Services, Smile Makers, Shark, Mermade Hair, Lelo, GHD, Dyson, Cloud Nine and K18

What are you waiting for? It's time to add to cart people! You already know that's where you're going to find us for the next few days.
