The complete Mented Cosmetics email collection
1. Perfect Your Labor Day Look for 25% Off
Objective
This email aims to drive Labor Day weekend sales by promoting a 25% discount on curated beauty products that align with seasonal trends like red lips, nude nails, and glowing skin. It encourages immediate purchase by highlighting limited-time pricing and product benefits.
Why this works
The email smartly ties product recommendations to a cultural moment, Labor Day, making the offer feel timely and relevant, which increases emotional resonance and urgency without relying solely on discount messaging.
How to implement
Each product is presented with a clear price drop, benefit-driven copy, and visual consistency, helping shoppers quickly understand value and make confident decisions without needing to click through multiple pages.
Pro Tip
Add a countdown timer near the hero section to visually reinforce the urgency of the 25% off offer, which could increase conversion by making the deadline feel more immediate and tangible. • Include a small testimonial or user-generated photo next to one of the top products (like the Red Matte Lipsticks) to build social proof and reduce perceived risk for first-time buyers.
2. NEW Exclusive Primer Bundles! ✨
Objective
This email aims to drive immediate sales of Mented Cosmetics’ new Perfect Prime Primer by promoting limited-time bundle offers that combine it with complementary products, while also encouraging community engagement through a Facebook group event.
Why this works
By bundling the new Perfect Prime Primer with bestsellers like Better Setter and Skin by Mented Foundation, the email creates perceived value and reduces decision fatigue, making it easier for customers to justify a purchase while increasing average order value.
How to implement
The use of bold savings percentages and strikethrough original values in circular callouts creates visual urgency and reinforces the limited-time nature of the offer, which psychologically motivates quick action without overwhelming the reader with too many options.
Pro Tip
Add a countdown timer beneath the bundle pricing to visually reinforce the urgency of the 3/20 deadline, which would increase conversion by reducing perceived time for deliberation and triggering FOMO more effectively than static text alone. • Reposition the 'JOIN GROUP' CTA in the Education Section to appear directly after the bundle offers, creating a seamless flow from purchase to community engagement, which could boost group signups by associating the event with the product’s perceived exclusivity.
3. MEGA Mascara Event ends at midnight!
Objective
This email aims to drive urgency and immediate purchases by promoting a limited-time mascara sale ending at midnight, while also encouraging cross-selling through curated makeup looks and a free gift incentive for orders over $65.
Why this works
The email brilliantly leverages urgency by anchoring the sale to a specific deadline, midnight, while pairing it with aspirational visuals of real users achieving trendy looks, making the offer feel both time-sensitive and personally relevant.
How to implement
By showcasing three distinct makeup looks tied to specific products, the campaign transforms a simple mascara sale into a storytelling experience that guides customers toward complementary purchases without feeling pushy or overwhelming.
Pro Tip
Add a visible countdown timer near the hero section to reinforce urgency visually, since the deadline is mentioned only in fine print and may be missed by skimmers. • Reposition the free gift CTA to appear directly under the hero section or alongside the mascara product grid to strengthen the incentive’s connection to the main offer and reduce friction in decision-making.
4. Your Feedback = $10 Off Your Next Order!
Objective
The email aims to encourage customer feedback by offering a $10 discount on the next purchase, turning survey participation into a mutually beneficial exchange that strengthens brand loyalty and gathers actionable insights.
Why this works
By framing feedback as a valued contribution rather than a chore, the email transforms customer surveys into a rewarding experience that fosters emotional investment and brand advocacy.
How to implement
The clear, immediate incentive of a $10 discount creates urgency and reduces friction, making it easy for customers to justify spending a few minutes sharing their honest opinions.
Pro Tip
Add a progress indicator or estimated time to complete the survey (e.g., 'Takes 2 minutes') to reduce perceived effort and increase completion rates. • Include a brief testimonial or social proof near the CTA, such as 'Over 5,000 customers have shared their feedback, help us make Mented even better!' to build momentum and trust.
5. Last Day for Labor Day Savings!
Objective
This email aims to drive immediate purchases by creating urgency around the final day of a Labor Day sale offering 25% off sitewide, while reinforcing brand values like inclusivity and ethical beauty through trust signals and perks.
Why this works
The email masterfully combines urgency with simplicity, using 'Last Day' and a bold '25% OFF sitewide' headline to instantly communicate value without clutter, making the offer impossible to ignore for deal-seeking shoppers.
How to implement
By embedding trust-building elements like 'Cruelty-Free,' 'Vegan,' and 'Free Shipping' directly beneath the CTA, the brand reassures conscious consumers at the exact moment they’re deciding to click, reducing friction and boosting conversion confidence.
Pro Tip
Add a countdown timer beneath the 'SHOP NOW' button to visually reinforce urgency and create real-time FOMO, which could increase click-through rates by making the deadline feel more immediate and tangible. • Include a small product grid or 'Bestsellers Under Sale' section just below the hero to guide indecisive shoppers toward high-converting items, reducing decision fatigue and increasing average order value.
6. It's the MEGA Mascara Event! 👀
Objective
This email aims to drive immediate sales of Mented Cosmetics’ mascara by highlighting a limited-time $12 price point and emphasizing its flake-proof, clump-free formula that delivers length and volume. It also encourages broader brand engagement through rewards, store locator access, and social proof.
Why this works
The email brilliantly leverages urgency with a time-sensitive price drop to $12 while pairing it with a clear product benefit, flake-proof, clump-free application, making the offer feel both exclusive and trustworthy for beauty shoppers seeking performance.
How to implement
By featuring a radiant model applying mascara mid-sweep, the campaign visually communicates transformation and joy, turning a functional product into an emotional experience that resonates deeply with consumers who value self-expression through makeup.
Pro Tip
Add a countdown timer beneath the hero headline to reinforce urgency and encourage immediate clicks, since the current 'limited time' phrasing lacks a visual cue to trigger FOMO-driven action. • Reposition the CTA button slightly higher or add a secondary sticky CTA near the bottom, as the single ‘SHOP MASCARA’ button may get lost after scrolling past the model image, reducing conversion potential for mobile users.
7. Get Memorial Day Ready in 4 steps!
Objective
This email aims to drive Memorial Day sales by guiding customers through a simple 4-step summer makeup routine using Mented Cosmetics products, while promoting a sitewide 25% discount to encourage immediate purchases.
Why this works
The email brilliantly frames the sale as a seasonal ritual, 'Get Summer Ready in 4 Steps', which transforms a discount into a personal beauty journey, making the purchase feel purposeful rather than impulsive.
How to implement
Each step pairs a product with a clear benefit and visual example, creating an educational flow that builds trust and reduces decision fatigue, encouraging customers to buy the entire routine instead of just one item.
Pro Tip
Add a countdown timer near the CTA to create urgency around the Memorial Day sale, since the current design lacks time-sensitive cues that could boost conversion before the holiday passes. • Include a small customer testimonial or review snippet under each product step to reinforce social proof, especially since the email relies heavily on visual examples but lacks third-party validation.
8. 30% Off ALL Lippies for Mother's Day
Objective
To drive immediate sales of lip products by offering a limited-time 30% discount for Mother’s Day, encouraging recipients to redeem the promo code before the deadline while reinforcing brand values through affiliate and ethical product messaging.
Why this works
The email leverages urgency and occasion-based marketing by tying the 30% discount to Mother’s Day, making the offer feel timely, emotionally resonant, and impossible to ignore for gift shoppers.
How to implement
By visually anchoring the promo code ‘MOMSDAY’ directly under the discount headline, the email removes friction in redemption while subtly reinforcing the holiday theme through clever wordplay.
Pro Tip
Add a countdown timer beneath the promo code to visually reinforce urgency, since the fine print deadline may be overlooked without a dynamic visual cue prompting immediate action. • Reposition the ‘SIGN UP NOW’ affiliate CTA to appear after the product grid or as a secondary button under the main ‘SHOP NOW’ to avoid splitting attention and diluting the primary conversion goal.
9. Get Ready with CEO & Co-Founder KJ Miller!
Objective
This email aims to drive immediate sales of the limited-edition 'Back to Work Box' by leveraging founder KJ Miller’s personal endorsement and a time-sensitive offer, while also reinforcing brand values like inclusivity and clean beauty.
Why this works
Featuring the CEO in a relatable, behind-the-scenes moment humanizes the brand and builds trust, turning a product launch into a personal story that customers want to be part of.
How to implement
The limited-time offer paired with a clear value comparison ($55 vs. $85) creates urgency while justifying the price, making the purchase feel like a smart, exclusive decision rather than a simple transaction.
Pro Tip
Add a countdown timer beneath the 'Offer ends 9/21' text to visually reinforce urgency and encourage immediate action instead of passive reading. • Include a short testimonial or user review near the product grid to validate the box’s value and performance, bridging the gap between founder endorsement and customer experience.
10. BOGO 50% Off Semis, Gloss, and Liners
Objective
This email aims to drive immediate sales of lip products by promoting a limited-time BOGO 50% off Halloween offer, encouraging customers to complete their costume look with curated lip combos while leveraging urgency and seasonal relevance.
Why this works
The email brilliantly ties the promotion to Halloween by framing lip products as essential costume accessories, which emotionally resonates with seasonal shoppers while subtly justifying the urgency of the offer.
How to implement
By visually segmenting lip products into Semis, Glosses, Liners, and Liquid Lipstick with dedicated CTAs, the email reduces decision fatigue and guides users toward specific categories, increasing the likelihood of multiple purchases.
Pro Tip
Add a countdown timer near the CTA to amplify urgency, as the current static fine print doesn’t visually reinforce the October 30th deadline, which could reduce conversion from procrastinators. • Include a single customer testimonial or review snippet near the product grid to build social proof, especially since lip products are highly subjective and peer validation can significantly influence purchase decisions.
