Sephora, the makeup megastore that has come to sweep the international cosmetics market today, is an easy place to drop $300 in just a matter of minutes. High quality makeup is not cheap, and Sephora sales reps are trained to get you to shut down your willpower and say yes to making yourself look better.

Don’t worry: here are 5 ways to save money shopping at Sephora today:

1. Sephora’s Beauty Insider program:
It’s completely free to sign up for Sephora’s Beauty Insider program, and it gets you seasonable promotions, a birthday gift, beauty classes, and all kinds of free products that are actually high quality. If you spend more than $350 there in a year, you unlock the VIB (Very Important Beauty Insider) status, which gets you even better deals.

2. No Receipts Needed:
Sephora can look up your purchases with cards and won’t require you to show a receipt if you want to return a product. They are known for their generous returns policy, making a Sephora investment a less stressful investment on your end.

3. Free Samples:
If you order from Sephora online, you can count on free samples with your purchases: perfume, facemasks, primers, and more. When you’re in the store, you can also ask reps for samples and tell them you want to think about it. They’ll almost always give you what you ask for.

4. Do Your Homework:
Sephora sales reps are trained to sell you the highest priced products in each makeup category. Do some research before you visit the store so you don’t find yourself racking up an incredibly expensive makeup bill.

5. Ask About Sale Items:
Sephora doesn’t have a sale section that showcases only the discounted items available that day. They are scattered throughout the store, somewhat hidden to the average shopper. Don’t be afraid to ask where they are.
