I'm Not Trying to Cause Chaos, But You Can Score These Expensive Beauty Products for So Much Less RN
It's no secret that we love a good sale, but when one of our favorite luxury retailers Violet Grey has one, we quite literally stop everything we're doing. Violet Grey offers the crème de la crème—each product is vetted by the brand's panel of picky editors before being sold on the website, so you know everything is good.
That being said, it's rare that the retailer has a sale. Believe me, this is something you want to take advantage of. I'll be honest—most of the products sold on VG are pretty darn expensive, so you'll definitely want to save a few extra bucks when you can. To save you some time, we've taken the liberty of putting together a list of solid finds from the sale that you might want to snag. We spotted discounted picks from 111Skin, Charlotte Tilbury, La Mer, and more! Keep scrolling.
Recharge, replenish, and renew the skin with 111Skin's seven-day hydration treatment. It contains potent hydrators like hyaluronic acid microspheres and natural moisturizing factors to heal dry, dehydrated skin and prevent transepidermal water loss.
This creamy gel multiuse pigment is a favorite from Byredo. It can easily be used as a lip color, blush, or eye pigment. I'll take three—anything to cut my makeup application time in half.
This treatment from Ourself is anything but your average hyaluronic acid serum. It leaves your skin so silky smooth and contains a blend of high- and low-molecular-weight hyaluronic acid along with firming Intides. These Intides are a combination of peptides that firm the skin and strengthen its natural barrier. It also leaves you with a serious glow thanks to an extra shot of vitamin C.
Of the entire Replica collection by Maison Margiela, Beach Walk is one of my all-time favorites. Breezy notes of pink pepper, lemon, ylang-ylang, coconut milk, and musk really do evoke sunny walks on the beach. Solar notes like heliotrope and transluzone provide the cherry on top.
Matte lipsticks don't usually do it for me, but this is one of the few formulas I truly love. While it might dry to a matte finish, it's also hydrating and doesn't dry out my lips, and the shades are so vibrant.
Face Gym is a brand that really surprised me. Not that I didn't think its products would be great, but its offerings definitely flew under my radar for a while until I tried the brand's Electro-Lite Enzyme Brightening Gel Cleanser ($42). Spoiler alert—it's amazing. This lightweight daily hydration serum complements it really nicely. It instantly plumps the skin, helps reinforce the skin barrier, and fades dark spots with niacinamide.
Who What Wear editors (and the internet, for that matter) love this buildable foundation from Charlotte Tilbury. It gives you an even, flawless-looking complexion and contains skincare ingredients like hyaluronic acid and a rose complex. Get it before it's gone—many shades are selling out fast.
I know—the largest size of La Mer's cult-loved moisturizer is nowhere near cheap. But I couldn't miss out on the opportunity to include it when it's over $500 off. Coined by the brand as "Mega Mer," this jumbo size of Crème de la Mer contains the brand's signature healing seaweed blend, which soothes skin, heals it, and reduces redness. A hefty dose of vitamins and minerals helps the skin maintain its elasticity and moisture levels.
Celebrity makeup artists and editors love this Armani Beauty foundation. It's lightweight, oil-free, and noncomedogenic and creates such a flawless base for other makeup products (ahem, like the brand's equally divine new Cheek Tint).
This hyrbid styling brush from T3 lifts roots, smooths hair texture, and can create effortless waves. The brand's Rapid HeatIQ technology styles hair quickly and maintains body and shine while three heat settings allow for use on most hair types and textures. It's the perfect tool to keep handy at home and for traveling.
We've mentioned a few of our favorite night creams previously, but this Rèvive option is a serious winner. It blankets your skin in a coat of luxurious moisture and is packed with antioxidants that bolster the skin's moisture barrier. Peptides and niacinamide also improve uneven tone, fine lines, wrinkles, and barrier function while prebiotics support healthy bacteria on the skin, reducing redness and sensitivity.
This soft, light, and airy scent is packed with aromatic notes like cardamom, rose, vetiver, fig balsam, and clary sage. It's meant to trigger the calming feeling of being close to a body of water, and boy, does it deliver. It always instantly uplifts my mood whenever I give it a spritz.
