A Huge List of Sales: Status Socks and Chubby Candles
Sales last week were lacking in the beauty department, so I’m making up for that this week. I spent several hours perusing Amazon’s Holiday Beauty Haul, which started on Monday, to find all the discounts actually worth shopping. There were plenty of duds to sift through, but among the gems I found were a cystic-acne-clearing face wash, Rio’s favorite nail-strengthening polish, and the cologne that Smokey Robinson has been wearing for 20 years, just to name a few. On the clean-beauty front, Credo’s best sale of the year, where absolutely everything is 20 percent off, went live yesterday. If you need a cheat sheet, writer Arielle Avila put together a guide on how to shop the Credo sale here.
As for other sales, I found some nice puffers at Nordstrom, and Wrangler is offering 30 percent off all its coats this weekend. If you’re after less-bulky layers, I recommend Rag & Bone’s quite good warehouse sale, with up to 80 percent off blazers, jeans, shoes, and more. And two brands that are nearly always having sales but are nearly always worth checking out: Gap is taking 40 percent off everything for its Friends & Family Sale, and Brooklinen is offering 20 percent off sitewide for its Friends & Family Sale.
