Memorial Day weekend is officially upon us, and we’re excited about two things: having Monday off from work and all of the online beauty sales we can shop between now and then.
Even though we’re finally able to venture back out to our favorite stores, you’ll probably find great pleasure in kicking back on the couch and perusing the deals online. In fact, many sales start before the actual weekend hits and last through Monday, May 31 (or even later), so get your clicker finger ready.
Y’all, there are so many sales to browse, and we realize that it can get overwhelming, so we’ve rounded up a solid batch of the best deals in beauty for you. We’ve broken it down by categories, starting with a section of retailers who offer many of our favorite skin, hair, and makeup brands. Check out the sizzling deals below. Happy shopping.
Multi-Brand Retailers
Dermstore: Dermstore already got the ball rolling on savings when it kicked off its Summer Event on May 24. Shop the massive online skin-care retailer through June 1 and score 20 percent off select brands, like dermatologist-loved brand SkinMedica and its popular TNS Essential Serum, along with Ilia Beauty and Dermalogica. Just type in code SALEAWAY at checkout; some exclusions apply. (Through June 1)
Violet Grey: Shop your favorite luxury beauty brands that rarely go on sale and get 20 percent off your total order. It’s the perfect time to indulge in La Mer’s Crème de la Mer while it’s discounted, or the decadent and effective Augustinus Bader The Cream. There are also amazing summer makeup options like Westman Atelier’s Super Loaded Tinted Highlighter. (May 25 to May 31)
SkinStore: Pick up all of your favorite skin-care necessities in one go — all for up to 70 percent off. The breakdown goes like this: There are sitewide savings of up to 60 percent off, and then some products are an additional 10 percent off with code EXTRA. We suggest starting off your shopping spree with Wander Beauty Baggage Claim Gold Eye Masks and SkinCeuticals Plump and Glow Regimen. (Through June 2)
Lookfantastic: Sister brand to SkinStore, Lookfantastic is offering a similar deal with up to 60 percent off sitewide, plus, an extra 15 percent off select brands with code SALEX15. Personally, we think the Christophe Robin Cleansing Volumizing Paste with Pure Rassoul Clay and Rose Extracts and the Perricone MD Intensive Pore Minimizing Toner will make great additions to your hair and skin routines. (May 27 to June 1)
Soko Glam: The mega K-beauty retailer is offering up to 50 percent off a wide range of skin-care favorites — no code needed. Stock up on innovative Korean beauty products, like Thank You Farmer’s Sun Project Shimmer Sun Essence and Some by Mi’s AHA-BHA-PHA 30 Days Miracle Toner. (May 27 to June 1)
