Whether you’re restocking your fave skincare products or trying out the latest TikTok makeup trends, Sephora is the place to shop. The virtual and store shelves are teeming with beauty products that span from delightfully cheap to a total splurge. And though Sephora sales may be infrequent, there are lots of ways to save on every order with Sephora coupons, freebies, free shipping deals, and little-known store hacks (hellllo, free mini makeovers).

Free Full-Size Bottle of Perfume | In-Store Pick Up
Finding your signature scent is expensive. We get it. So what better way to explore the aromatic landscape than with a perfume sampler set? Not only do you get to try out some of Sephora's best-selling perfumes, but the samples come with a scent certificate for a free full-size bottle of your favorite perfume, which can cost up to $95 alone. You can order the Perfume Sampler online, but you’ll need to visit your local Sephora store to cash in the certificate.
Free Beauty Samples | Online
Who doesn’t love a freebie? Sephora lets you add two free samples to every online order. Some of the products from brands like Kerastase, Tom Ford, and Bobbi Brown are quite pricey, so it’s a good way to try it before you buy it.
Free Beauty Samples | In-Store
If you’re on the fence about a product, you may be able to walk out with a free sample of it. Just ask a Sephora store associate if they can prepare one for you, though it may depend on product availability. This applies to perfume, makeup, and even some high-end skincare serums.
Free Trial-Size Products & Extra Points | Online
Every week, Sephora updates its Beauty Offers page with promo codes for free trial-size products. The trial-size products are larger than the free samples, giving you more time to assess a product’s staying power or see skincare results. If you’re a Beauty Insider, you’ll also find deals for 4X points on select products; that gets you closer to cashing in on even better freebies.
Sephora’s Beauty Insider rewards is the easiest and free-est way to get fun freebies.
Free Mini Makeover | In-Store
You’ll need to check with your Sephora store, but some stores offer free 15-minute mini makeovers to test out products before you buy. You’ll also get a free bag of goodies to go home with. No appointment is needed; just chat with a store associate to get started. Past mini-makeover looks have included:
- Smokey Eyes
- Essential Eyeliner
- Everyday Eye
- Polished Brow
- Blush + Bronze
- Perfect Lips
- Flawless Foundation
Free Beauty Classes | In-Store & Online
Sephora often hosts free beauty classes both in-store and virtually. You have to be a Sephora Beauty Insider member to attend though. Previous classes have featured experts and influencers divulging their beauty secrets, and have covered product launches from high-end brands like La Mer, Dermalogica, and Caudalie.
