As Memorial Day weekend kicks off, so do all the best sales of the summer season. Although I love a good holiday weekend fashion markdown, the beauty sales this time around stole my attention. In my opinion, the best beauty sales happening right now, happen to be at Dermstore and Ulta Beauty. I clocked in the hours and dug through pages of markdowns and hundreds of products to bring you the best beauty steals to snatch up from these sales—no endless scrolling required on your part.
Both stores are offering up to 20%, which is major, given some of the brands that are included. I already have my cart full of restocks from some of my personal skincare favorites, like Augustinus Bader’s Rich Cream and Sunday Riley’s C.E.O. serum, which rarely sees a discount. And since summer is on the brain, there are a slew of useful options, including lots of SPF-packed moisturizers, for the ultimate in skin hydration, and essential sunscreens, to keep harmful sunray damage at bay. Topnotch cleansers are also a must for me, for those impossibly sweaty days when temperatures hit over 90-degrees and pore clogging is a huge problem. I also included plenty of haircare products to combat all the chlorinated pools and salt water dips your locks might be privy to, all season long. Don’t forget the useful devices and tool sections, either! Shop these best Memorial Day sales asap, before they are over—and stocks have run out! They are sure to go fast.
DERMSTORE
Load up on plenty of skincare essentials from top brands that rarely see a sale, such as Sunday Riley, Augustinus Bader, and more. Beauty, haircare, and more can all be found in this Summer Sale. Be sure to use the special code SUN at checkout.
Dates: 5/22–5/31
Details: Up to 20% off with code SUN
Give your skin that summer glow with Sunday Riley's C.E.O. Vitamin C brightening serum. Believe the rumors, it really is that good.
Camera ready hair in one tiny bottle? Sold! I will be packing the 1.7 oz travel size on all my long weekend trips ahead.
I don't wear a lot of makeup during the summer, but I do love a good mascara at night. This one instantly lengthens.
Hydration is key in the hottest months. Revive your under eye area with Wander's gold eye masks. This 6-pack is a no-brainer to pack on vacation when you need a little R&R.
A little dab will do you. The Rich Cream helps reverse any damage from excess sun or dehydration from chlorinated pools and salty sea water and is rarely on sale!
A toner packed with aloe, lavender, and mint ingredients is sure to soothe skin that has seen too much summer sun.
SPF is my number one everyday must-have. I up the percentage in the summer (this one has SPF 46) to ensure the ultimate in protection, while enjoying more time outdoors.
After over-tweezing as a teenager, I rely on a brow enhancing serums to fill in the blanks. They actually work!
Even the best skin routine can't protect from an unwanted zit here and there. Grab this pimple patch set so you're fully covered when they creep up.
It's hard to find a sale on Sunday Riley products. Scoop up this anti-aging treatment that is a consistent, customer hit before the deal is gone.
Cleansing is so important when your skin is seeing more dirt, sweat, and potentially blocked pores. This micellar water is your answer to take it all off at the end of the day.
A two-in-one product is a no-brainer for me. I love the pink and peachy tones of this lip and cheek stain that scream warm weather (and are on sale!).
A fine lines and wrinkles savior, anytime of year. Just be sure to use plenty of sunscreen in the summer, since this has retinol.
Restore moisture and a balanced skin pH with this cleansing oil that is packed with vitamins, antioxidants, and fatty acids.
Trust the French. Avène's Retrinal Eyes will alleviate signs of aging, puffiness, and dark circles after those extra long nights, out and about.
ULTA BEAUTY
Kick off the summer season with a fresh assortment of makeup, skincare, and beauty tools with this limited-time Memorial Day Sale. LolaVie shampoo, Pacifica moisturizer, and an Anastasia brow and lash kit are just a few of our favorites. MDW20 unlocks all the deals.
Dates: 5/24–5/27
Details: 20% off with code MDW20 (excludes prestige & fragrance)
Our head and hair is put through so much more in the warmer months (middle part sunburns are only the beginning!), so load up on a restorative shampoo that is loaded with botanicals and clean ingredients.
Tinted moisturize (with SPF!) is a summer essential. This one is oil-free but will still offer a dewey result that feels fresh.
The rollers on Pacifica's facial massager are made from zinc alloy, which cools and de-puffs, when your face turns bright red on those 90-degree days.
Easy to use and long-lasting, Laura Mercier's caviar stick eyeshadow can withstand 12 hours of wear. Need I say more?
Brow goals = made with Anastasia's brow and lash styling kit. All you need in one super pack.
The OG beauty blender sponge. Why not refresh your supply with a new one while they're on sale?
Grab this waterproof liquid eyeliner to combat sweat, water, and more all summer long.
This shadow has a creme-to-powder finish that will withstand a day (or night out!) of wear. The high impact colors can't be matched for the price point, either.
Stow this brush easily in your pool tote, basket bag, and more for those moments where you are going beach to street and need a little detangling.
Memorial Day means the start of swimsuit season, and all the waxing and shaving that comes with it. Combat ingrown hairs with this clean, ingrown hair oil from Bushbalm.
Whether you get a little time in the rays or not, Lancôme's bronzer will give you that extra tint for a sun kissed look, without any skin damage.
Because you will need a great makeup brush to go with that bronzer. This one was specially crafted for use with powders, thanks to tapered sides.
Be sure to keep cleaning those brushes frequently all season long. IT's Brush Bath works on both synthetic and natural hair brushes.
This instant blemish corrector can be stored in any bag to assist on weekend trips, overnight flights, and more.
An affordable moisturizer that works on all skin types. This formula will make sure your skin is refreshed, no matter where you are.
