When I’m making a purchase online, 9 times out of 10 I use PayPal to pay for the item. It’s secure, convenient, and being self-employed, I get paid via PayPal a lot.
I also tend to buy a lot of skin care and makeup products. Unfortunately, Sephora does not accept PayPal as a form of payment on regular orders. However, they DO let you use PayPal on Sephora to purchase gift cards or e-gift certificates!
♡ First load up your shopping cart with the items you want. Go through the motions of “checking out” so you can see what the total will be with tax and shipping included. Always round up the number. If your total comes out to $42.33, you would buy an e-gift card for $43.
♡ Follow this link to purchase an e-gift card. Enter in that exact number of your order.
♡ Fill out the recipient boxes with YOUR information, so the e-gift card goes to yourself :) And click “Add to Cart”. Once you hit “Add to Cart”, the option to check out with PayPal pops up.
After paying through PayPal, check your e-mail for your gift card. Go back to your regular item check out on Sephora and enter in the gift card number and PIN.
Thank you so much!!! Sephora hack! Haha.
I was eyeing the KVD saint and sinner palette and wanted to use paypal, and didnt even think about using an egift card! What a loophole!
Hi Janet! Just a tip, this post is a few years old, and now in 2017 you can checkout using PayPal the proper way! Check it out! :)
BEWARE: The giftcard can’t be used on international orders… When I read this post I tried to order some stuff through a giftcard that cost me $136, after I got an error with finishing the order (after being able to have used the giftcard) I contacted the customer service and they told me that giftcards can’t be used for international orders. Now I’m in trouble because I have a giftcard with a large amount of money on it that I unfortunately can’t use. I’ll have to contact the giftcardsupport and hope I eventually get my money back..
THANK YOU!!! :)
Great advice!
thank you! You’re the best! I had lots of PP cash but no credit cash so this was great!
Thanks so much!
