Urban Decay UK Website Closing Down

I receive a small commission if you shop through my link.

Urban Decay is shutting down their UK Website. As per a notice on their website they are closing down the website permanently and are instead working with retail partners to get their makeup in the hands of their fans. The Urban Decay UK website is accepting their last orders as of December 28th. The brand hasn’t quite been at peak level performance in several years now but it still has a strong consumer and fan base and this doesn’t necessarily mean they’ll be closing up shop anytime soon here in the USA. A lot of brands have been closing their websites across a variety of countries lately. It’s sort of quietly done and we don’t really realizing it’s happening but Too Faced has done the same in the past year. They even closed up the store they opened in Liverpool about a year or so ago! I’m not saying Urban Decay is doing fantastically but I don’t think they are headed for closure here in the USA either. It doesn’t seem like it but the beauty industry saw a 15% increase in beauty sales last year.

The note on the Urban Decay UK website can be read below.

Sephora Beauty for All 20% Off FINAL DAY!

I receive a small commission if you shop through my link.

The Sephora Beauty for All Event Sale is still happening Holiday 2023. The event gets you 20% off your total without the limits of the Rewards Program. TODAY IS THE FINALE DAY TO HAUL! This is why Rouge is a worthless achievement sometimes. But hey, I think it’s great they are doing this but it did take away from the Holiday Reward Cards we used to get which people really enjoyed. That being said 20% is still a very generous perk if you weren’t Rouge didn’t get to enjoy that perk when the Holiday Savings Event happened a few weeks ago. You might just want to start popping stuff in your cart now. I feel like Sephora is going to get some heavy traffic from this sale. Black Friday sales are up this year and people have been pretty free with their gift spending cash! So, if you have any essentials you want this is a good time to grab them at a discount! You can shop once at Kohl’s and once at Sephora!

When is the Sephora Beauty for All Event? It starts December 1st and ends December 10th! What is the promo code for the Sephora Beauty for All Event? It’ll be a universal code and that coupon code is YAYGIFTING (one-time use only). Are there any exclusions during the Sephora Beauty for All Event? Typically there were no exclusions but we’ll have to wait to hear more. I doubt there will be though. This is a rare opportunity to get all your beauty purchases done in one place and a good way to purchase brands that aren’t always on sale at 20% off. Especially luxury ones or fragrances.

I realize Sephora does have to push a sale like this because SO many brands are doing such deep discounts they are missing out on sales. I remember a time when so many beauty brands had sales and it was rare for beauty to be on sale, especially luxury brands. It was unheard of to see Dior on sale 10-plus years ago. It’s super common to see it go on sale nowadays. I’m not saying Sephora is hurting as they are still a major player in the beauty game but I’m pretty sure they see less and less of everyone’s Holiday cash due to the excessive amount of deeper discounts available from brands themselves or from other stores such as Ulta, Macy’s, and Nordstrom! It’s just a smart move to do an overall 20% discount for everyone versus excluding certain Rewards Members from the sale. It’s also a smart one as Ulta doesn’t actually do a 20% for all event (YET anyway!). They’ll do 20% off non-prestige but not 20% storewide for non-Diamond Rewards Members. Although, that being said the amount of sales Ulta does have and smaller coupons more than makes up for that.

I think one of the real parks of the Sephora Beauty for All 20% Off is it’ll work on sales items and a lot of items are hitting the sales rack now. Too Faced Holiday Palettes, Haus Labs ones, Urban Decay Metal Mania, and various gift sets. That means already reduced items will get that extra sweet 20% discount if these items don’t sell out fast.

As always, this sale will also include the Sephora Collection. Sephora seems to push the collection hard lately during their Sales Events. You’ll 30% off any and all Sephora Collection purchases. Sadly, Sephora hasn’t updated their in-house collection in years with anything remotely interesting. Much of is very cheap and not great. Their brushes remain a sold offering and during the sale it’s a good time to haul them but aside from that there isn’t much else of interest.

Sephora Beauty for All 20% Off starts very soon! Are you excited about getting 20% off sitewide? Start making your list!

Eilish No 3 Perfume Available Now And $10 Off

I receive a small commission if you shop through my link.

Billie Eilish has announced that there will be a new Eilish No 3 Perfume that is now available at ulta.com! I’m so excited I just can’t even. As you may know I’m a massive fan of the original Eilish Fragrance that launched in 2021. It’s the warmest chocolate gourmand ever! It’s truly a beautiful fragrance that’s unique and very special. I did find a dupe of that’s a bit long-wearing in the form of Lattafa Perfumes Nebras. If you have not tried Nebras what are you even doing with your perfume life? You need it! It’s the most perfect, coziest Fall fragrance! P.S. If you love Eilish you need to also get on Body by TPH Anything Glows Body Oil!

Update: It’s available now at Ulta.com! And you can snag $10 off a bottle with code CHEER23 or spend $100 at Ulta and get $20 off with code JOY23. It’s a nice time to grab this one up! I’ll have a review posted soon!

Top- grapefruit, pink peppercorn, jasmine
Middle- saffron, fresh fir needle, cedar
Base- amber, oakmoss, skin musk

Anyway, I got sidetracked there talking about warm, sexy scents. Billie released a second fragrance called Eilish No 2 in 2022 but sadly, it failed to capture my interest. This was a woodsy, earthy fragrance and it’s actually very interesting (it sort of reminds of Illamasqua Freak Perfume). It was different from the original for sure. I admire Billie for creating something entirely different and new and not going Ariana’s route because as much as I love me some Ari Cloud we already have three versions of it in the from of the original, the intense version, and Cloud Pink now!

We don’t have notes yet but there are hints in the form of little cherry emojis that appear on an Instagram photo that was posted on the Eilish Fragrance account. They also mention this being the last of the three fragrances. I guess that means we’ll see something new from Billie going forward. I thought maybe No 2 would be about cherries but looks like No 3 is headed in that direction! Cherry is very trendy in the fragrance world. I’m curious to see how this will smell and can’t wait to try it!

Eillish No 3 Perfume launches in November!
