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.

This is the best deal of the week, in my opinion. Sephora Insiders can take 20 percent off their entire purchase (and 30 percent off Sephora Collection products) with the code SAVEGIFTS through Sunday night. (Note that the code only works once, and doesn’t apply to already-discounted products.) You can also score free same-day delivery through December 24 with the code QUICKGIFTS.
Amazon

Here’s an excellent gift set for anyone looking to dabble with snail mucin. It includes CosRX’s best-selling essence, moisturizer, and hydrogel masks.

For a gift that looks far more expensive than it is, consider this French multi-purpose oil. As writer Sadie Stein put it back in 2018: “Basically, anything argan oil can do, HP can do, too — only it’s somehow sexier.”

Jennifer Garner says Virtue’s hair oil “makes your hair soft and shiny but not greasy — just moisturized, strong, and delightful.”
Anastasia Beverly Hills makes some of the most-loved brow products in the beauty sphere, and all of them are on sale at Amazon right now.
Nordstrom
True Botanicals’ entire line is 30 percent off at Nordstrom; these three feel the most gift-y to me (and are all under $30!). For dry winter skin, writer Kitty Guo uses the Rescue Balm for lips, elbows, cuticles, and everything in between. It’s orange in the tin but goes on clear, and it’s made with all-natural ingredients like shea butter, coconut oil, and jojoba seed oil.

Because no holiday party look is complete without a heavy dose of sparkle.

Through December 15, everything is 25 percent off with the code JOY25 at Londontown. Nordstrom is price-matching as well as offering a gift with purchase: a free Glow Getter Nail Luminizer when you spend at least $25. This gift set hits that price point, and includes a base and top coat to achieve a gel-like finish on your nails — it cures via sunlight, no UV lamp needed.

The dermatologist-approved skin-care device that deletes peach fuzz is 30 percent off.
Dermstore
I’m not normally one to recommend a discount that’s under 20 percent, but I’ll allow it here since SkinCeuticals never goes on sale. Several bundles are 12 percent off at Dermstore, and most include our No. 1 vitamin-C serum.
Ulta
New! You can now save this product for later.
Ulta’s Big Holiday Beauty Sale runs through December 24, and the the discounts change every Saturday. My favorite deal this week: Select cleansers are $15.
