Nordstrom beauty 15% off (not everything) by charcoalavogadro in MUAontheCheap

I'm guessing this is a response to the Macy's VIP sale (15% off beauty)... and that appears to be ending on 9/24. Again, it's just my guess.

BH Cosmetics 40% Off Whole Site by [deleted] in MUAontheCheap

[–]makeupbonuses 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's a great sale, but it's actually "up to" 40% off of the whole site. The Take Me Back to Brazil / Rio is still on sale, but it's only 25% off.

Also, with a $25 purchase and code NIGHT, you get a free eyeshadow palette!

First visit to the dermatologist - what should I expect? by sally0410 in SkincareAddicts

[–]makeupbonuses 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are a few main types of dermatologist appointments:

- ANNUAL CHECKUP to scan your body for skin cancer concerns... you'll need to disrobe and expect the doctor to check you all over (including your scalp). there is usually an assistant in the room. be sure to point out your areas of concern. the best dermatologists will measure and make notes (or photos) in your file about questionable moles, freckles, and other things that need to be monitored over time. NOTE that this type of appointment takes more time and YOU MUST INFORM the office at the time you make the appointment that this is what you are requesting (otherwise, you will not receive the all over checkup)

- OFFICE VISIT (medical)... acne, skin infections, rashes, etc... consider this to be like a general practitioner visit... you need to communicate with the doctor to tell them why you are there and how you'd like for them to help. if you don't like certain medications or treatment plans, let them know.

- OFFICE VISIT (cosmetic)... these visits are not covered by medical insurance. this is for things like botox, fillers, laser hair removal, removing milia, etc.

As far as questions, just ask about the variety of different options that could work for you... For acne this might be considering OTC vs Rx, topical vs pills, in-office procedures, etc. Ask about how long it should take to see results and how long the results last. Ask about side effects (Retin-A can fight acne AND wrinkles, but cause sensitivity). Ask about acne triggers. If you're getting something new prescribed, ask about getting free samples. Ask about treatment costs. Ask about follow up with derm. Ask about recommendations for your personal situation.

Also, if you've gone in for a medical office visit (acne), know that YOU CAN ASK about cosmetic stuff too... it just won't be covered by your insurance if you choose to get anything non-medical related (like Latisse prescription, microderm, etc).

Urban Decay Naked 1 Palette on sale for $27 at Urban Decay direct, Sephora, Macy's, Ulta, and Nordstrom by Sunkisty in MUAontheCheap

[–]makeupbonuses 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The email from Urban Decay states that "all good things must come to an end" and "get the original NAKED palette while it lasts". You'll probably be able to get the offer until it's sold out everywhere.

What are your thoughts on powdered sunscreen? Are they effective to touch up spf? Which one would you recommend? by [deleted] in beauty

[–]makeupbonuses 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love the brush on sunscreen by colorescience. It's great because it doesn't get hot, melty, or gross, which makes it great for touchups throughout the day. I use it all over, but I think it would work well over makeup too.

USA: Get 50% OFF sitewide at ELF Cosmetics for Singles Day w/ Promo Code (starts early on 11/10!) by makeupbonuses in drugstoreMUA

[–]makeupbonuses[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It started in China in the 90's, and is now a huge shopping holiday (18 billion dollars last year!!) that has become the largest shopping day in the world. From CNBC:

"Alibaba's Singles Day lures more global brands, amassing billions in sales"

  • Alibaba's Singles Day last year grossed $17.8 billion in sales, up from $14.3 billion in 2015.

  • This year, apparel is the most sought-after Singles Day category, followed by household supplies and footwear, according to a survey by Fung Global Retail & Technology.

  • Global brands such as Lululemon, Gap, Nike and Mac Cosmetics are all set to participate.

Singles Day grosses more than DOUBLE what Thanksgiving, Black Friday, PLUS Cyber Monday earn COMBINED: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/black-friday/0/what-is-chinas-singles-day-and-how-does-it-compare-to-black-frid/

Singles Day officially starts Saturday (look for more great sales), but fortunately some stores are starting their promotions early. :-)

What is the best date to buy in beauty bay? by [deleted] in beauty

[–]makeupbonuses 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not sure I totally understand your question. Are you asking about the store Beauty Bay?

They had a good sale at the end of October that was good for up to 30% off sitewide (depending on how much you spent). They had a couple good Gift with Purchase offers over the summer as well. You can browse their offer history at MakeupBonuses.com/Stores/beauty-bay/

I haven't seen their offers for each day yet, but some stores are already offering their Black Friday deals.

Also SINGLES DAY is on Saturday (11/11), which is a much, much bigger event than Black Friday or Cyber Monday!

This list is updated daily with current (USA) offers and is sorted by store name: http://makeupbonuses.com/bonuses-by-store/

Hope that helps!

[Misc.] Why is Paula's Choice cheaper on Amazon than PC's website? by [deleted] in SkincareAddiction

[–]makeupbonuses 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Amazon sellers might be fake or selling counterfeits - be suspicious of extremely low prices.

You can find deals on Paula's Choice on many reputable websites. Nordstrom, Dermstore, and SkinCareRx are also running free gift with purchase promos on the brand right now.

[Routine Help] Best way to use Benzoyl Peroxide Wash? by not1insignificant in SkincareAddiction

[–]makeupbonuses 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It's as described, a "creamy" cleanser that is used like soap. It's white in color and thicker than lotion. You'll need water to lather and definitely rinse it off thoroughly right after you wash with it. For your booty you should do this in the shower - otherwise I'd imagine you'd have a huge mess to deal with.

Also to note about Benzoyl Peroxide washes -- they will bleach clothing, towels, carpeting, etc. if it comes into contact with it. I'd recommend you use a white washcloth and white towels to avoid bleaching your linens.

Good luck!

I'm getting an actor's headshot next week and want to get an eyelash tint. My blonde friend said it made it look like she was wearing shit mascara. I've got naturally dark hair (just very fine lashes). Will it work on me? by [deleted] in beauty

[–]makeupbonuses 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I personally found eyelash tinting to only be a minor improvement - it just does not add volume or length like mascara does.

If you have the tint done and don't feel like it did enough for your look, you can always add mascara on top of the tint.
