Listen, we love a good shopping spree as much as the next girl, but those "take all my money" memes are way too real when it comes to Sephora. One second we're just popping in to grab a new mascara, then 20 minutes, $100, and a bag full of checkout-aisle minis later, the damage has been done. There's no truer love-hate relationship, and if you're here reading this (which, yes, you are), we've got a hunch you also know the struggle all too well.
But here's the thing, we'd rather let someone pry our Kat Von D lipsticks and Dr. Jart+ color correctors from our cold dead hands than stop shopping at Sephora, so we’ve compiled a comprehensive list of all the ways you can save money the next time you run out of eyeliner. According to makeup artists, beauty enthusiasts on Reddit, and of course, the good peeps at Sephora, these are the tips and tricks that will save you a few bucks and score you the best perks. Just be sure to let us know what awesome stuff you're nabbing so we can try it too. OK?

1. If you're in school, sign up for a student discount.
College is great. But the broke-ness that comes with student loans is not. However, you can actually use that student-life status to get yourself up to 10-percent cash back on a Sephora purchase at studentrate.com.
2. Check out the Sephora beauty deals page.
Sephora is quite literally doing the work for you here. Make sure to regularly keep tabs on this part of the site to see what kind of codes for discounts, deals, and samples are available. They change often, so the tab is rife with opportunities to save money.
3. Skip singles and spring for palettes.
Celebrity makeup artist Neil Scibelli suggests picking up palettes of the products you use most. “As a makeup artist, I only travel with lip and eye palettes since you have so many choices at your fingertips," he says. "So if you know you're a lipstick girl, buy a lip palate instead of five separate lipsticks. You're bound to save money that way." Our favorite of the moment? The Urban Decay Junkie Vice Lipstick Palette, which will only set you back $20 for 12 shades—nearly the cost of a single Vice Lipstick bullet.
4. Join the Beauty Insider club.
This one is obvious, but it bears repeating. If you join the Beauty Insider program (which is free, BTW), a world of options become available to you. Not only do you get a free yearly birthday gift with your membership, but you also get access to in-store events and the chance to rack up tons and tons of points that never expire. Those points will come in handy because you can cash them in for perks and deluxe product samples.
5. Mark your calendar for the semiannual sales.
Twice a year Beauty Insiders get early access to up to 15 percent of products. Make your beauty wish list and save your splurges for these crucial biannual events. Think of the savings on that fancy serum you love!
