Free Shipping on Beauty Items from Macy’s All Year Long

Don’t worry, I double-checked the fine print three times over before writing that title. It’s real: Macy’s is offering free shipping on all beauty orders for the entirety of 2018.

Macy’s carries all of the standard prestige brands, and some I’ve never heard of! You won’t find any drugstore brands here (except NYX!), but considering the number of sales and coupons, you’ll just have to settle for high end makeup at below-retail prices.

For example: according to Dealspotr, if you sign up for Macy’s E-Mail List, they’ll give you a 25% off coupon! Or shop through their mobile app for a similar discount. Nearly every store has a coupon at any given time, how else do you think I’ve been able to run this blog for 10 years?

Currently, I’m filling up a cart that may never see a payment method. You know, the usual broke-girl-in-a-sale routine. I’m waiting to sign up for the email list until I know I’m going to buy something. Oh, and I will also be using Ebates because, at Macy’s, you get 6% cash back on every purchase!

Here are some of my favorite beauty brands at Macy’s. Please note the extreme and shocking discounts on NYX and Benefit because that’s serious value!

Anastasia Beverly Hills at Macy’s

Obviously, this is a cult-favorite brand that creates either really great or really bad eyeshadow palettes. (Opinions on the validity of that statement are definitely going to vary.) Alleged manufacturing complications aside, the creative vision of ABH is, and long has been, on point. Love it or hate it, the Subculture palette was a brilliant concept, and you can’t deny the power of the Glow Kit. Getting ABH with perpetually free shipping is a gift in itself!

Benefit Cosmetics at Macy’s

I couldn’t help but notice that Benefit’s skincare line is already on sale for around 25% off, so obviously check that out ASAP. (It’s worth noting that the Benefit skincare packaging is gorgeous.)

Buxom Cosmetics

To this day, Buxom Cosmetics is one of only a handful of brands that makes a lip gloss that I actually  like. After trying the Buxom Lip Polish sample set, Six Degrees Below Sexy (ugh), I discovered that their lip glosses were not only tolerable, but beautiful! I’ve also seen enough positive reviews of their mascaras that I have to try one.

Elizabeth & James at Macy’s

There aren’t many posts about Elizabeth & James on Broke & Beautiful because, well, they’re f@#king expensive, but I am so tuned in to the aesthetic of that brand. Not only are the clothes from the line gorgeous, but the fragrances associated with their beauty line are incredibly good. Macy’s carries their entire fragrance line which is mostly designer-priced, with the exceptions of some roll-on perfumes, but there’s one product that has an incredibly high value for the price:

Elizabeth & James Nirvana Fragrance Gift Set
$25

IT Cosmetics at Macy’s

The only IT Cosmetics I’ve ever interacted with was buying a gift for a friend. The Superhero Palette is such an incredibly giftable palette despite the fact that it’s the least superhero-y color range I’ve ever seen. Their concealers, on the other hand, seem to be the true heroes of IT Cosmetics. Rave reviews left and right!

NYX Professional Makeup at Macy’s

As you learned last week in a post about a NYX makeup deal (that’s still going on), there are some crazy discounts happening and, for some reason, a ton of NYX makeup is 50% off. Oh yeah, and remember last year when everyone wanted lip vaults from NYX and they all sold out before Christmas? Well, you’re in for a treat…

Stila at Macy’s

As one of my OG favorite makeup brands, I love pawing through Stila’s makeup inventory. They’ve had a pretty strange trajectory, especially over the last couple of years. Despite having tons of hit products, they’re not exactly at the forefront of the beauty world. They’re kind of just chillin’ in the back, churning out great stuff and reaping the rewards.

T*RTE COSMETICS CONTENT REDACTED — Late 2018, T*rte Cosmetics contacted our web host (without contacting us first) and had our website shut down for multiple days due to “copyright infringement.” They alleged, with no explanation or provided proof, that we infringed upon the T*rte Cosmetics copyright in a sale post from April 2017 where we linked to a sale they were holding on their own website, with 23 links back to their website. After I sent multiple emails over three days, I received a response from the Brand Protection department stating that T*rte Cosmetics would “contact my ISP” to have my website reinstated. (Fun fact: ISPs, or Internet Service Providers, do not have anything to do with my website or where I host it.) Even after being denied clarification, T*rte maintained that I was infringing upon their copyright and I agreed to remove all mentions of them on my website. This message has been posted wherever T*rte Cosmetics was previously mentioned.

Urban Decay at Macy’s

Urban Decay is the quintessential department store makeup, in my opinion. That impression comes from my childhood, where I would stroll around big department stores while my mom shopped, and I spent a ton of that time looking at Urban Decay makeup.
