Tips and Tricks to Save Money at Beauty.com

Beauty.com outdoes its competition by including free samples nearly every time you order hair products or makeup from this online retailer. Take advantage of those samples and save money at the same time with these tips and tricks the next time you shop at Beauty.com.

How to Get the Best Deals at Beauty.com

• Be careful how you check out. Depending on what items you buy, you can qualify for up to three free samples when you order. There’s a catch: Besides making sure you are making a "qualifying order," those free samples aren’t automatically added to your cart. So pay attention and be sure to visit the site’s sample center to make your choice before completing your purchase.

• Look at the gifts with purchase section before you submit your order. Beauty.com always has a few options for getting a gift with your purchase, such as a free full-sized item when buying a certain product. Little samples are fun, but a gift with purchase is a true deal — as long as the item you're buying to get it is something you'll use.

• Bundle items with Drugstore.com. Beauty.com is a division of Drugstore.com, which also sells hair and makeup products as well as other brand-name items you'd expect to find in a drugstore. The two sites are connected. If you're in need of Drugstore.com's items anyway, you might as well include them when you're stocking up on your glamour needs. Do it for two reasons: You're more likely to get over Beauty.com's $35 threshold for free shipping and you can add to your store credit total. Beauty.com account holders automatically get 5% back in store credit on every purchase (you do have to sign up). Credit is applied to your account at the end of every quarter, and you have one month to use it towards your Beauty.com or Drugstore.com purchase.

• Re-order automatically (and wisely). Have your favorite items sent to you on a regular timetable of your choosing (ranging from every 30 days to every six months) and you’ll save 10% off future auto re-order shipments. Keep tabs on your timing — you don't want to end up with more product than you need and more charges on your credit card than necessary.

• Use a coupon code, but pay attention to the fine print. Beauty.com regularly has coupon codes available, typically for a dollar amount off purchases of a certain amount. Note that many popular brands are excluded from most coupon codes, so shop accordingly.

• Return for free. Beauty.com allows customers to return any item that doesn’t meet their full satisfaction within 30 days of delivery. Returns are sent with pre-paid mailing labels.

• Follow on social media. Beauty.com posts sales and coupon codes on its Facebook and Twitter pages. It has sent an extension of its Friends and Family Sale (see below) to its Facebook fans, for example.

What to Buy at Beauty.com

• Perfume. Most perfume prices are the same at Beauty.com as they are at other stores, but you're more likely to get a deal here if you have a coupon code and if you can qualify for free shipping and free samples.

• Nail polish. Although some products are slightly cheaper at Beauty.com, most nail polish prices are the same across all beauty stores. Add in the coupon codes, however, and you could get a greater deal.

• Hair treatments. Beauty.com has a large selection of masks, conditioners, and treatments for all types of hair. The prices are competitive and the items occasionally go on sale.

• Lipstick. There are lots of lipstick options, and most products can be used with a coupon code.

• Candles. Beauty.com has a decent selection of premium candles, which tend to have lower prices than the competition and frequently go on sale.

When to Shop at Beauty.com

• Friends and Family Sale. Two weekends a year (usually in mid-May and early November), Beauty.com offers 20% off the entire site. The sale is typically applied to your order without a coupon, but is initially sent to email subscribers with accounts.

• Beginning of the month. Most coupon codes and promotions expire towards the end of the month, so shop early in the month for the best selection of newly released promo items.

What Not to Buy at Beauty.com

• Mascara. Nearly every item in Beauty.com’s extensive mascara selection can easily be found cheaper at other beauty stores.

• Face masks and peels. The same products can generally be found for lower prices at other stores.

• Phyto Professional brand. These items are marketed as a “Beauty.com Exclusive,” but the same items can be found cheaper elsewhere.

• Stila brand. Beauty.com’s prices on this popular brand are the same or higher than other stores. Plus, most items can’t be combined with coupon codes.
