The Best Beauty Sales of the Week
As the Strategist’s deals editor, I sift through hundreds of discounts every day. Some of my favorite finds are in the beauty bins: The price drops are impressive, and there’s almost always something from our archives in the mix. And each week, I find the best-of-the-best beauty products on sale across the internet, exclusively for Beauty Brief newsletter subscribers, and present them to you here. Scroll on to see.

Just about everything is 30 percent off at Elemis with the code RETURN. The Pro-Collagen cleansing balm has a spalike scent and leaves skin feeling moisturized. Actress Abby Elliot told us it even removes eyelash glue and manages to be “very moisturizing” too, so much so that she sometimes skips the rest of her skin-care routine.

Our most-recommended French pharmacy staple (and our No. 1 makeup remover) is one of those beauty items you should never buy full price, since it’s always on sale. Right now it’s just $14, which is a Black Friday–level deal.

A delightful stocking stuffer for under $20. It’s on sale in the sheer pink hue, pictured here, at Sephora and Kohl’s; if you’d like the same deal on the clear, unscented version, you’ll need to head to Dr. Jart+ proper.

Lash serums can take months to actually show results, so grab this six-month supply while it’s on sale. This formula from Grande Cosmetics received a glowing endorsement from comedian Atsuko Okatsuka: “I was born so hairless — no eyebrows, no eyelashes. I considered getting extensions, but I just know sitting there for two hours would be difficult for me. I found this serum at Sephora, and it actually made my lashes longer and thicker over the course of six weeks.”

Makeup
Mere weeks after the movie’s theatrical release, r.e.m beauty’s Wicked: For Good collection has hit the sales bins at Ulta. Good news if you have any fans on your shopping list; the lip gloss is my top pick.
Hair care

R+Co’s Dallas thickening shampoo “works magic” on fine hair and gives “bombshell volume” when blow-drying, according to salon owner Fred Connors. (He says it has a “heavenly scent,” too.)

Frangrance
At Sephora, full-size fragrances, as well as hair and body mists, are 20 percent off through December 24 with the code SAVESCENTS. Glossier You is a perennial classic; Phlur’s perfume is great for vanilla lovers; and Sol de Janeiro is still a hit with Gen-Zers.
And if you’re looking for fragrance gift sets, there are quite a few on sale for whatever your giftee is into.
