    For those who shop K-beauty at Stylevana, they’ve been sending newsletter subscribers a link to a secret 50% off sale with 30+ pages of products. This link seems to stay active all the time even though the products change.

    https://www.stylevana.com/en_AU/promotion/half-price-sale-3.html

    code: NSHALF18

    The prices shown on the product pages are BEFORE discount. You need to have an account to apply the discount code ‘NSHALF18’ when you check out, which will take 50% off everything from the list.

      I’ve scored the top-selling Jung Saem Mool Skin Nuder Cushion + refill set for $20, Pyunkang Yul essence toner for $5+, VT capsule cream for $15 +many more from this half price link. So far the expiry dates have been 1-2 years away but it depends on the product.

        I kinda think I should not have seen this because I went from no-buy to big-buy. I think weighing this up, I should still thank you for this tip-off @Jupiter, and you also influenced me to buy the Jung Saem Mool Skin Nuder Cushion + refill set when I have not used cushion foundation in years.

        Ha I’m a little sorry Ethelinde, I have also succumbed to those prices despite telling myself ‘no more!!!’ I think you bought at a great time though as there were over 70 pages of half price stuff over the weekend (usually it’s around 30 pages). I hope you’ll like the skin nuder cushion – it’s a little hard choosing shades without trying them beforehand.

        Since I’m travelling to Seoul again last this year, I asked Google Gemini about the cheapest prices in Seoul and it seems like the Stylevana half price prices are mostly unbeatable, because the brands themselves don’t allow their products to be discounted too much on the domestic market.

    1/2 Price Dermal Therapy lip products at Woolworths until Tuesday. DT body products are 40% off.

  • 2 mths ago

    Chemist warehouse has 1/2 Price sale on La Roche-Posay and Cerave ‘for a limited time’. This wasn’t in the catalogue and has just happened, so not sure how long it will be for.

  • 4 mths, 1 w ago

    Just a heads up that the annual 23% off from The Ordinary has moved from November to April, and it’s starting tomorrow at 2pm AEST. Time to stock up on your NIOD & The Ordinary items.

    Woolworths has a $10 or less sale on Revlon, Maybelline and MCoBeauty mascaras and lip products. Pretty good considering some mascaras are almost $30 these days.

  • 6 mths, 3 wks ago

    Priceline’s $10 cleanser sale started today, includes selected Bioderma, Avene, Cerave, Innisfree etc. No LRP or Banila Co this time.

    • 6 mths, 3 wks ago

      Rather than Banila Co, the Garnier cleansing balms are excellent.

      • 6 mths, 3 wks ago

        I was eyeing them too, the ingredients looked good and great to see that they are fragrance-free. I didn’t end up buying because I still have quite a few oil cleansers to go through (I only use one at one time – either oil or balm)

    Beauty aroma are offering free shipping on orders $9.99+ ending tomorrow but you need to be a member.

    There are other promotions on offer that might be worth checking out at beautyaroma.com.au.

  • 9 mths, 1 w ago

    The ordinary, NIOD, and Loopha currently have 23% off all products until 7th December.

      • 8 mths ago

        @Jupiter I apologise for the late reply as I have had trouble commenting on the website.

        Thank you for your post regarding the Reddit information!

      • 8 mths ago

        No worries at all @Miss_85, I’ve had issues posting too. Thanks for the heads up about Beauty Amora free shipping – I hadn’t noticed!

    • 9 mths, 1 w ago

      Thanks @Miss_85, yes I’m thinking about what to buy. It’s a shame they don’t have half price on one specific NIOD product like they did in the last couple of years. I may hold off until later in the month – they usually start offering freebies with orders later in November. Last year it was the lash serum.

      • 9 mths ago

        @Jupiter Yes you are right. In 2023, I placed an order in late November and received a free eye serum.

        Speaking of which, I happened to visit the Ordinary Australia website last night and this pop up ad appeared, ‘A moisturising gift – shop from November 8 – 14 and choose a complimentary qualifying moisturiser with any Ordinary product*’ * conditions apply.

        After adding products that I am looking to buy, I was given the opportunity to select from one of three moisturisers (30ml Natural Moisturising Factors +HA, 30ml Natural Moisturising Factors +Beta Glucan or 30ml Natural Moisturising Factors +PhytoCeramides).

        The one thing I noticed from the pop up ad was the ‘…shop from November 8 – 14…’. As the 23% off promotion ends on 7 December, could there be a possibility as @Jupiter had mentioned that a free serum is on offer to orders placed later on in November?!

      • 9 mths, 1 w ago

        Yes @Jupiter I noticed their was nothing better than 23% off everything, I have tried a few NIOD products and been disappointed, but I will get something from The Ordinary in the sale though.

    • 9 mths, 1 w ago

      Oooh that is a good deal, and ow does my skin need some Ordinary help. its looking very rough right now.

  • 9 mths, 4 wks ago

    Woolworths has an online sale for selected mascaras for $10, including the very popular MCoBeauty XtendLash which is normally $28.

    Meanwhile, the Priceline $10 mascara sale finishes today

  • 11 mths ago

    Chemist Warehouse has a new catalogue out with 1/2 price Cancer Council, Hamilton everyday face sunscreen, 40% off Cerave, 40% off La Roche-Posay
