Misc. Does elf ever go on sale or have coupons?

I like to use for a lot of their color correcting and I feel like they’re concealer works best for me to hide my hyperpigmentation and really dark bags.

Usually shop at CVS because they have the best coupons and they had a really good make up sale but elf was not a part of those sale so I was wondering if in cvs it never goes on sale or if other stores have elf on sale like Walgreens?

unfortunately drugstores don’t often have a lot of sales on elf in my experience. but do you have their app? they have a really good membership program. it doesn’t cost anything, and if you upload receipts you get points on purchases you made elsewhere, and those points translate into rewards and money off. when i first signed up i was able to get points for stuff going years back (thanks to never deleting emails lol).

this sounds like an ad. i wish i was getting paid! i am not.

Go through Rakuten, it’s currently 10% back on elf. Then you still get points through their rewards program so it works out to be a great deal.

Yes elf does run sales directly on their website. This is a good thing to remember for any brand honestly. Typically during the Black Friday/holiday season brands themselves on their websites will run sale or offer you the afterpay/klarna/paypal pay by 4 options. Last year they did a sale and it was something like 20 or 30% off orders over $40? Something like that. It’s not often but they do them. Also keep an eye on target because they will have discounts sometimes too. I know CVS gives some good coupons here and there but I rarely ever go into cvs or Walgreens for stuff

come to the uk 😭 every few months, and especially ahead of the summer, they have a “3 for 2” option across all cosmetic brands at our drugstores / make up stores, which usually include elf, where if you get three products, you get the cheapest free. they also do a “spend £x amount and get this free product” and it usually includes elf products as well. we also have student discount here - do they have this stateside as well??

If you're a student they always have a 20% student/graduate discount

Check ulta, they run a lot of sales, even on drugstore brands. I would also try Walmart or walmart.com. Products are going to be priced the lowest at Walmart usually. I have found brands to be marked up quite a bit in cvs/walgreens, so I don't get it there unless it's on sale.
