Let’s be real, you probably spend an unhealthy amount of money at Sephora every month. While the makeup junkie inside of you couldn’t be happier, your wallet is not.
Fret not, because we found an app that can make you and your wallet happy when you shop at Sephora!
We also included our a few of our favorite apps that let you earn extra bucks when you’re not shopping at your favorite makeup store!
Earn Sephora Gift Cards While Shopping At Sephora
Drop is an easy-to-use app that lets you earn gift cards on stuff you already buy from your favorite brands. Yes, this includes Sephora!
It’s the ultimate & modern loyalty card without the card.
All you need to do is link your most-used credit card(s) and whenever you purchase at your favorite activated brands, you’ll automatically get points for gift cards!
Self-proclaimed Sephora-addict? Get points for all your purchases there.
Jonesing over the new Disney summer product line at Target? You get points for all your purchases there too.
You need that Mocha Frappuccino from Starbucks? Yep, you guessed it. You get points for that too! Whaaaat?
I already redeemed my $20 Sephora card after only 3 weeks! We’re really loving Drop since you can earn gift cards on popular brands you already buy from. Easily set it up and watch the points drop in.
Get Paid to Do (Almost) Nothing
The average person unlocks their phone 110 times per day – that’s a lot of time spent looking at a screen. Unfortunately, nobody will pay you to text friends or post to social media. Or so you thought.
With S’more you get paid every day you unlock your phone. It’s even easier than it sounds, and since you can cash out with as little as $1 there’s no waiting around for your rewards!
S’more partners up with brands looking for more eyeballs, and you don’t even need to click on anything to get paid. S’more pays in gift cards so you can redeem for:
- Amazon.com
- AMC Theaters
- Best Buy
- CVS
- Target
- Domino’s Pizza
- Starbucks and more!
Just use your phone normally, and your earnings will apply daily. Pretty much the easiest thing to do.
Get a Chance to Win $1,000,000 When You Save with this App
Long Game Savings is this amazing app that combines playing games and saving money.
You save, you get to play games, you can win money up to $1,000,000.
When you turn on Automatic Savings on your linked bank account, every deposit will give Coins.
These Coins are used to play fun games like Spin-to-Win, Flip Cards, Slot Machines and more to win real cash, even up to $1,000,000 real dollars! How’s that for encouragement?
Not only will your savings account grow within Long Game, you’ll also earn daily and weekly chances to win more cash. On my first day, I got $2 just for depositing $10.
“I check the app everyday since it’s fun. I already got paid $5 my first week!” – Stanley S.
Long Game is FDIC-insured so your money is completely safe. It’s also free to use, you’ll earn 0.1% interest on the money you save, and you can withdraw all your money at any time (takes 3-5 business days to completely transfer).
It’s no wonder that Wall Street Journal, Forbes, and TechCrunch love it too.
Since Long Game is insured, they take extra steps to protect everyone. Your info is completely safe and they need this before you can start to get paid to save. They’ll ask you to:
- Connect to a bank account (they do not store any login information)
- Provide a mobile number so they can text you a code for verification
- Provide your social security number to prove you’re you
- Provide your email address to be sent a verification email
After that, you’re free to save as much or as little as you want, but also earn chances to win more money. You’ll never lose any money as it’s not the lottery but a valid prize-linked savings account.
So skip that fancy coffee this week and put the money into Long Game instead. It’s also way better than throwing that money away on losing lotto tickets. The chance to get up to a $1,000,000 just for saving is just too good to pass up.
Don’t Toss Those Receipts. Scan Them for $$$
My common beauty products like shampoo, cotton balls, SPF, etc usually come from drugstores. Because of this, I keep Ibotta on my phone.
Ibotta is a super easy-to-use cash back app with 100+ retailers, both in-store and online. When I go shopping anywhere, I typically find a cash back opportunity.
So before you head to the store, check Ibotta for items already on your shopping list. Neutrogena SPF 50? Hit that + sign in the app. Makeup Remover? Tap that + sign again.
Go shop!
Then take a photo of your receipt. I usually just scan on the way to my car.
Now you got yourself some cash back! Just for getting stuff that you needed anyway.
Here are some cash-back opportunities I’ve seen:
- 50 cents back for any item
- 25 cents back on bread
- 80 cents back on Honey Bunches of Oats
- $2 back on L’Oreal products
- $2 back on Yellow Tail Wine
- $5 back on Enlightened Ice Cream
Ibotta is 100% free to download and you’ll get a $10 sign-up bonus after scanning your first receipt. On average, I save $20 a month on household items even at Walmart and Target! Enough for another new lipstick.
