19 Jan Beauty Story: Online Sample Sale

By now we’re all aware of private fashion sales like HauteLook, Gilt and ideeli, so it’s no surprise that the beauty world is now jumping on the bandwagon.

BeautyStory.com is the latest site to offer discounted prices on brands like Cargo, Tarte, Perricone MD and tons of other lines. It works just like the other online sample sales: sign up, get alerted of the weekly sales and shop whatever interests you. The site offers up to 80 percent off of American and European brands.

Right now they’re currently selling Vincent Longo lipstick and glosses at half off. Like most online sales, you receive $10 for every friend you refer who makes a purchase.

I’m not that into department store beauty products but I could definitely see myself stocking up on products that have proven themselves effective in the past. I swear by Prescriptives foundation, but at $40, a discount is a must.
