Sephora
With up to 50 percent off through the 27th, nows the time to cash on your Sephora points. Not sure what to scoop up. My top picks ahead.
Nudies Glow All Over Face Highlight (Was $35)
A little summer glow is made easy with this Sofia Richie-approved highlighter. Just swipe it on your cheekbones (or eyelids) and blend away with the convenient brush.
Iconic London Precision Duo Contour Pot (Was $39)
A matte and shimmer bronzer duo provides endless opportunities for your summer makeup looks. Personally, I like to use the matte version on my cheekbones and let the shimmer double as an eyeshadow.
Laura Mercier Caviar Stick Eye Shadow (was $33)
If you, like me, will be traveling every weekend this summer, easy eyeshadow sticks are perfect to toss in your weekender bag. I love shade Rose Gold and Nude Rose—they go with everything.
OleHenriksen Beamcream Smoothing Body Moisturizer With Ahas (Was $38)
Time in the sun and the ocean can leave legs feeling drier than preferred. This nourishing body cream instantly restores hydration—and gives a great glow.
Nordstrom
Nordstrom's half-yearly happens to fall on Memorial Day Weekend—and the retailer has some big ticket items available at unbeatable deals. You can get up to 50 percent off from brands like Dyson, Bobbi Brown, and Clinique.
Dyson Airstrait Hair Straightener (Was $499)
Perhaps the best deal of all, the Airstriat is a full $100 off through June 1st. Not only is it a great investment; it will also help you cut down hair styling substantially so you can rush out the door and enjoy summer activities.
Clinique Even Better Clinical Radical Dark Spot Corrector + Interrupter Serum (Was $88)
Dark spots and hyperpigmentation can be more apparent post sun exposure, which is why having a solid skincare routine is key. This serum is packed with brightening agents like vitamin C to help create a clear, even complexion.
YSL Touche Éclat High Cover Radiant Undereye Brightening Concealer Pen (Was $40)
Foundation and summer humidity don't mesh well, which is exactly why I am a concealer-only girl in the summer months. This YSL pen happens to be my go-to; it's lightweight, brightening, and incredibly easy to use.
Armani Ecstasy Mirror Lip Gloss (Was $49)
There is no such thing as having too many lip glosses. Add a bright hue to your summer collection. Can I suggest Culmination, a pretty pink, or Ecstasy, a gorgeous berry?

Ulta is running a handful of buy one, get one deals—and slashing prices on hundreds of products. They have some amazing kits on sale ideal for summer travel, and a few best-selling staples at a steal. Just enter code MDW20 at checkout.

Did you know you're supposed to get a new makeup sponge every few weeks? Scoop up a handful at a discount—and get a free nine-piece complexion kit if you spend over $50.
Lolavie Restore & Protect Travel Kit (Was $40)
Jennifer Aniston knew what she was doing when she created LolaVie—the products smell amazing, detangle, and leave my hair insanely shiny.
Armani My Way Parfum (Was $145)
Perfume is an investment, so it's best to buy it at a discounted price—which is exactly what I'll be doing with My Way. The floral fragrance is solar and bright, but balanced by a woody base.
Eva NYC Spectrum Far-Infrared Dryer (Was $90)
Another big ticket item at a huge discount, this Eva NYC blow dryer and diffuser will make hairstyling so much faster. The tool is powerful, yet not damaging and comes with three different heat and power settings.

A cult-favorite sunscreen by all accounts, this elegant chemical sunscreen leaves no white cast or greasy texture. It's dermatologist-approved, too.
Neocutis LumiÈre Firm Riche Extra Moisturizing Illuminating & Tightening Eye Cream (Was $125)
I have incredibly sensitive eyes and this is one of the only eye creams that doesn't illicit tearing or redness. The texture is creamy and sensorial, but sinks into the skin with ease.
Oribe Gold Lust Repair and Restore Shampoo and Conditioner Bundle (Was $101)
Oribe is certainly a splurge, but with 20 percent off this weekend, I plan on treating my hair to a little luxury. This duo brightens my blonde and gives my strands incredibly shine.
Obagi Medical Professional-C Serum 15% (1 Fl. Oz.) (Was $115)
You can never have enough vitamin C in the summer (it protects against free radicals and brightens hyperpigmentation). This Obagi serum is incredibly powerful with a 15 percent concentration and has no greasy, sticky texture.
Lyma
Lyma, the at-home laser loved by Jennifer Aniston and Joanna Czech, is offering an incredible deal. Now through the 31st, you'll get a free, full size Lyma Skincare Starter Kit, which is worth over $650, with your laser purchase.
Lyma Laser Starter Kit
The Lyma laser is the most intense at-home laser you can get—and the results are well worth the investment. You'll notice better skin tone, less sagging, and a plumper texture within just a few months.
Serum and Cream Duo
Lyma launched skincare earlier this year to accompany their laser—and customers can't get over the immediate effects of the cream. While you're shopping, make sure to add these to your cart.
Charlotte Tilbury
Very rarely does Charlotte Tilbury just toss a free, full-size lipstick your way. And yet, that's exactly what's happening through the 28th. With any $110 purchase, you'll get a Hot Lips 2.0 Lipstick in the shade In Love with Olivia—no code necessary.
Beautiful Skin Sun-Kissed Glow Cream Bronzer
If you need inspo on what to buy, allow me to suggest this gorgeous cream bronzer. It blends seamlessly and gives and I-just-left-the-beach glow.
Airbrush Flawless Setting Spray
While I love to use this to lock in my makeup, I'll also spray it directly onto bare skin for a little refresh and subtle shine.
ReVive
This is one of my personal favorite skincare brands of all time—over half of my regular routine is comprised of ReVive products. If you want to test out the line for the first time, now is your chance. From Thursday, May 23 through the 31st, you can get 20 percent off select items. My picks, below.
