Deals I personally think are the best
Amazon’s Labor Day Event is full of excellent deals, including lots of beauty. Save on basics like moisturizer and SPF or go for more splurgy items like hair tools and red-light devices while they’re nicely discounted. (And for even more Amazon deals, check out ourroundup here.)
The entire line of Dr. Idriss skin care is 20 percent off now through September 8. That includes the brand’s Major Fade Solution System for tackling stubborn dark spots, her Left Un-Red for calming redness, and the Lip Basting Duo, a personal favorite for pillowy-soft lips.
Farmacy’s taking 25 percent off its entire site, including already on-sale items, also through September 8. Some standouts include itsblackhead-dissolvingDeep Sweep Toner, ouroverall favorite makeup-removing balmthe Green Clean, and the ultrahydrating Honey Milk Essence.
You can save 20 percent off wellness products over at HigherDOSE or 25 percent off its bundle sets with code LDW26. Its products are splurgy, but we can vouch for theacne-fighting red-light maskandmood-boosting sauna blanket. I’m personally intrigued by the body microcurrent set for sore muscles.
Australian brand Grown Alchemist — known for itsstatusy hand soapsandnice-smelling body washes— is taking 20 percent off sitewide (excluding kits and sets).
The entire Kiehl’s site is 25 percent off at checkout through September 8; if you’re a Loyalty Member, that discount increases to 30 percent off. Stock up on thecelebrity-approvedCreme de Corps body lotion, theplumping recovery serum, or Goldilocksmoisturizer.

Kosas is taking 25 percent off its entire site. The brand’sconcealeris a longtime Strategist favorite, its loose powder is ourrecommended setting powder for dry skin, and I can attest that its lip balm is great. Plus, if you spend $100 or more, they’ll throw in afull-size brow productand either thegel cleanserorcleansing oil.
NuFace, maker of our best-in-classmicrocurrent device, is taking 30 percent off its entire site, with free shipping on all orders. I use my Trinity religiously, but the Mini or Microwand are both excellent starting points for folks new to microcurrent.
The entire Paula’s Choice site is 20 percent off, or, if you spend $100 or more, you get 30 percent off with code SAVE30. Go with itsgentle yet effective azelaic acid, pore-clearing BHA exfoliant, orbeginner-friendly retinol cream.

Right now, R+CO is taking 20 percent off orders of $75 or more. The brand’s beloved by many Strategist staffers: Itsleave-in conditioneris a favorite for managing frizz, the Dallas Biotin line helps thicken fine hair, and the Television Perfect line protects color-treated hair.
Pamela Anderson’s Sonsie is one of the few celebrity beauty brands that’s actually good, and it’s taking 15 percent off sitewide. I’ve tested the line and my top picks are the Cleansing Mousse, Super Serum, and Multi Moisture Cream for nongreasy hydration.
From September 1 to 8, Supergoop’s entire site is 20 percent off. For folks wanting to restock their SPF, the Unseen Sunscreen doubles nicely as a makeup primer, the Play Everyday sunscreen is nongreasy and lightweight, and its mineral powder’s excellent at protecting the scalp.
