The Best Beauty Sales of the Week
As a deals writer, I sift through hundreds of discounts every day, and my favorites are always beauty sales (the price drops are often very impressive). Every week, I’ll find the best beauty products on sale exclusively for Beauty Brief newsletter subscribers. Everything I surface here is something we stand behind — either we’ve written about it before or it’s from a brand we trust. Here are my top picks of the week.

For our retinol veterans looking to take it up a notch, Dr. Elizabeth Bahar Houshmand, owner of Dallas-based practice Houshmand Dermatology, says this serum’s high retinol concentration is effective but still prevents “irritation, flaking, and redness” with antioxidants and soothing bisabolol. Today, it has a nice limited-time deal at Amazon.

This hand-model-approved lotion has a lower oil content, allowing it to quickly absorb into the skin and deliver long-lasting hydration, not just shine. Right now, you can get two for less than the price of a single bottle at Nordstrom’s summer sale.

Our favorite (less expensive) hair towel reduces frizz and cuts our writer Dominique Pariso’s drying time in half. It has an even better price thanks to Act + Acre’s sitewide sale. Note: It is only available for preorder and ships on September 12.

I also recommend grabbing this Scalp Detox Oil that hairstylist Kristi Wilczopolski says is “really fresh” and “super-nourishing” when you use it weekly.

We first wrote about this Strategist editor- and reader-beloved lipstick back in 2017 when fashion editor Amy Larocca deemed it the “black turtleneck” of lipsticks thanks to its universally flattering dark tint. Today, I found it on sale for much less in this cost-effective bundle alongside Clinique’s best-selling moisturizer.

In case your summer tan is already wearing off, the St. Tropez Express Glow Kit features two sizes of our favorite quick-developing self-tanner — a 13.5-fluid-ounce can for home and a 3.38-fluid-ounce version for on the go — and a mitt for just $35 (over $100 less than its original value).
