Everyone loves a good beauty sale—Ulta’s 21 Days of Beauty, Sephora’s Annual Savings Event, Nordstrom’s Half-Yearly Sale, and, of course, Amazon Prime Day. But I have a little secret: the best and biggest beauty discounts normally fly under the radar. Case in point? This week, Sephora is giving shoppers massive discounts that put the Annual Savings Event to shame. Meet the Sephora Big Summer Sale. Best-sellers, from brands like Paula’s Choice, Saie, and Refy, are up to 50 percent off right now.
And after doing a very deep dive into the sale, I’m happy to report that nearly every single item in my glowy summer skin and makeup routine is included. Come summer, I really pare back my regimen and focus on the essentials. I reach for serums that are going to brighten hyperpigmentation and offer antioxidant protection, lightweight moisturizers that won’t clog my pores, and, of course, a fabulous sunscreen. On the makeup front, I stick to skin tints and a hell of a lot of blush. To shop my favorites—at a very steep discount—scroll ahead.
