Do the E.L.F. Coupons Really Suck Lately?

I placed an order for some of the new E.L.F. goodies that recently launched like the Jumbo Eye and Lip Pencils but dude, what’s with the lack of coupons?

I used to get all sorts of cool 50% off your total order coupons but now all the coupons are 10 to 15% for new customers only.

What the hell?

I miss those killer deals E.L.F.!

Anyone notice the lack of coupons lately?

    Yes! I totally noticed. ECD2 is usually always active and gives you 50% off studio line.

  • LINDARRAGNAR

    I think the coupons always kinda sucked, if you wanted 50% off of studio you always had to hit a certain threshold, and only could get a certain amount off.
    I get emails from them, and I know they have a scavenger hunt on right now, and they had free shipping two days ago (im reading my emails from them) and they have 50% off all Halloween items.
    maybe for holiday season the big coupons will come out to play!!
    I am sure you are subscribed to their emails, but if not, maybe that could help? 🙂

      that’s true linda you’re kinda forced to purchase a ton of products to get the 50 off plus shipping ended up evening up the cost…they charge $7 for shipping :-/ I am unfortunately as they send me dozens a day lol!

      • LINDARRAGNAR

        OMG I totally forgot about shipping 🙁 that was the worst part, because i would always have to wait 2 weeks!! 🙁

        stinks, my emails are FULL of junk! 🙂 I can only imagine yours!!

    Hey Muse

    That’s strange, ECD2 completely works for me. but sadly so many products are out of stock as always.. you can still try again and see..:)

    • the Muse

      I tried it a few days ago and it kept telling good for new customers only BOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!! now I placed my order already damn them ;-D

  • Sweta

    oh shucks..sometimes these codes reallly suck..never work when you want them to..:(

  • Kiss & Make-up

    Myeah, I’m not too impressed with the coupons in Belgium either. “Here’s 50% off!” “Oh but wait, it’s only and those, those and those items, and you don’t really want or need those to begin with”. Boooo.

    Yesterday I bought only the jumbo lip gloss sticks (all 8 shades) and used the coupon elfshipzrt and got $1.98 shipping. Thought this was the best deal I could find anywhere.

  • Hannah

    Yes it sucks! U have to spend a certain amount in order to get the discount. Its annoying! I unsubscribed to their emails. I only buy at Target even though it is not a big selection.

  • Tina

    Yeah I’ve been thinking the same thing. I’m going to hold off buying anything till there’s a big sale again…

  • Marilyn @ Lipgloss and Spandex

    Seriously! And I agree with Kiss & Make Up–there’s a whole lot more “look here’s a 50% off code good for anything!!!… just kidding, you only get ten bucks off.” Annoying.

  • Saiba

    I recently placed an order last week because of the same reason. I got a 50% off total order coupon code in an email but what annoys me is I put it in and it says “no more than $10” so what, that’s my limit for the amount I get off my order? Then how is that 50% off?! Don’t tease me!

    • deyna

      Agreed! i just placed my first ever order on elf a couple of days ago so i can’t comment on how their coupons used to be but the best coupon at the time was 50% off (up to $10)…i left kind of feeling robbed. seriously, how did they come up with this?

      …but its worse being canadian. shipping is ridiculous.
      regardless i’m excited for my first purchase !

  • JenJ

    I’ve noticed that as well. I’ve gone on a few times recently thinking that I could scoop a deal. Not so much -___-

  • Marie

    I stopped using ELF promo’s a long time ago. The only one I really look for is either the 50% off’s or free shipping. I’m happy with a free shipping code, good thing those happen often lol!
