You will earn points on purchases and on-site engagement, totalling to one point per £1 spent, two points for leaving a product review and five points for attending an in-store service. Plus, there’s a 10 per cent discount on your two favourite brands and a birthday gift for all members.

Points can be redeemed at 100-point intervals in exchange for £5 gift vouchers, iconic beauty treats and £5 charity donations to Face Equality International.

You will also work your way up the membership tiers, each unlocking extra benefits:

Students save up to 20 per cent at Sephora

Students can take advantage of exclusive Sephora discounts via Student Beans and Unidays. For Unidays members, there’s 20 per cent off all full-priced items. Student Beans members can also enjoy 15 per cent off fragrance and beauty, plus earn points with MySephora for extra rewards.

Enjoy free shipping on your Sephora orders

All orders over £20 qualify for Sephora free delivery, however, MySephora gold members are entitled to free next-day delivery, which is usually £4.95. If you’re a repeat customer, it might be worth upgrading to premier delivery for £9.95. This gives you one year of unlimited and free next-day delivery with no minimum spend so if you’re a regular Sephora shopper, you’ll soon make your money back.

Share the love with your friends and family and you’ll both benefit from a 15 per cent discount on your next order. Simply register on the ‘Mention me’ page to send your referrals.

Save up to 60 per cent on bestsellers with daily deals

The Sephora offers section is packed with daily deals and free gifts, with savings of up to 60 per cent on top beauty and skincare brands. We’ve recently seen the trending Elemis pro-collagen black cherry cleansing balm discounted by 20 per cent. It’s my favourite in the brand’s pro-collagen range, so much so that I awarded it five stars in my recent review.

You can also find some of our Dyson favourites, like the airstrait and airwrap, with up to 25 per cent off.

These deals are updated regularly, so if you spot one of your staples or a product that’s been on your wish list, it’s best to grab it whilst you can.
