The 16 Best Deals at Sephora’s Extremely Good Labor Day Sale
Out of all the Labor Day sales happening this weekend, Sephora’s is one of my favorites. Hundreds of products are up to 50 percent off from now until September 1 (no promo code required), including some rare deals on Sunday Riley and Glossier products. Almost everything in the sale section (at least that I’m eyeing) is at least 30 percent off, including Best in Class makeup remover, hair care, toner, and more. Below are the 16 items I’d recommend buying at this year’s sale, but hurry: A few products I had my eye on have already sold out since the discounts went live yesterday, and I expect plenty more to sell out soon.
If you’re in the market for more beauty deals, I found several dozen Labor Day beauty sales here, and you can find all of our Labor Day sales coverage here.

Great for travel, this solid sunscreen stick won’t spill in your bag and makes on-the-go reapplication a breeze. Our fashion writer Ambar Pardilla likes that it’s “not gloopy” like some liquid sunscreens. “Since it’s a stick, I can really get the sides of my nose, underneath my eyebrows, and along my ears and can roll it around my neck,” she says.
