In 2013, Sephora announced the launch of Sephora Flash — an upgraded shipping membership that’s similar to Amazon Prime. And by similar, I mean the same but much cheaper.
Fast forward to today and Sephora Flash is still around, though it’s not marketed heavily.

Sign up for Sephora Flash and you get free, unlimited one- to two-day shipping on your Sephora orders for a year. The real benefit here is that there’s no minimum purchase required to get your free shipping. Without Sephora Flash, you must spend $50 per order for free shipping.
The cost of Sephora Flash
Sephora Flash costs $15 per year as of August, 2022.
What to know before buying Sephora Flash
Sephora Flash is a good deal if you buy from Sephora often and you tend to place small orders. But here’s what you should know:
- This program is nonrefundable. You can change your mind later, but you won’t get your money back.
- Your membership renews automatically after 12 months. Set a reminder in your phone for 11 months. Better to evaluate the value of this program and make a decision before you see the charge pop up on your credit card.
How to buy Sephora Flash
Head to the Sephora Flash page, accept the terms, and add your Flash membership to your cart. Once you check out, you’ll be set up with free shipping for a year.
Remember to review Sephora’s return policy before you shop!

Love this concept. I've spent so much money on random crap to make that $50 free shipping minimum.

I'm with Nichole. Awesome idea and for a fabulous price! I've already made a small purchase when I signed up Monday and my item was dropped off at 11:45am on Wednesday!

I absolutely love it and signed up immediately! I got the email last week. I am one of those with an ungodly stash of beauty insider points. I will probably end up with more impulse buys now that I no longer have to scour the site for items I don't need in order to reach $50 for free shipping. Lack of free shipping has always been a deterrent for me when it comes to online shopping, so this is awesome.
