This Is It—the Absolute Best Beauty Sales to Shop on Memorial Day
If you generally try to avoid the influx of sale emails in your inbox during Memorial Day weekend, then you've probably come to the wrong place. I'll admit my wallet encourages me to swerve on buying new skincare, makeup, and haircare products, but I'm not always one to listen. Instead, I like to comb through those deals to find the cream of the crop, and I may have succeeded this year.
I've spotted some epic deals and steals, from high-end retailers like Lancôme all the way to great, affordable brands like Pacifica, the cult-loved vegan brand taking over your Instagram feed. Keep scrolling for even more Memorial Day beauty sales you just can't miss and every item worth adding to your cart this weekend.
Violette_FR
The Deal: Receive 15% off all sets on Violettefr.com May 23 through 27. Some exclusions apply.
My Picks
Summer makeup just got easier with this limited-edition set, which features the brand's best-selling blush and tinted lip balm.
Add a pop of color with your choice of the brand's highly pigmented Yeux Paint Liquid Eyeshadow, Bisou Blush, Bisou Balm, or all three!
Canopy
The Deal: Receive 15% off Canopy's filtered showerhead May 24 through 27 with the code SUMMERGLOW.
My Picks
Trust me—you don't want to miss out on the opportunity to score one of Canopy's incredible shower filters. I've talked about the effects hard water can have on your skin, so it's important to try and filter your water wherever you can. This one is great because it comes with an evaporative aroma diffuser too.
Although the brand's beloved humdifier won't be on sale this time around, consider this your PSA to snag one anyway. My fellow Who What Wear beauty editor Kaitlyn McLintock talked me into getting one of these, and I'm now fully obsessed. I never sleep without mine and wake up with the softest, dewiest skin every morning.
T3
The Deal: Receive 25% off the FeatherWeight StyleMax Hair Dryer and SinglePass StyleMax Flat Iron on Sephora.com May 24 through 27.
My Picks
The Who What Wear beauty team tested the best hair dryers in the business, and this one was a favorite. Don't miss out on that $50 discount.
This self-adjusting flat iron creates the perfect temperature for your hair texture while minimizing any damage.
Dermstore
The Deal: From May 22 through May 31, receive 20% off sitewide using the code SUN at checkout.
My Picks
This choice SPF is beloved by estheticians, dermatologists, editors, and celebs alike. It's a great option for acne-prone skin that hydrates, calms, and helps clarify.
This fan-favorite liquid exfoliant often sells out, so you might as well snag it while it's both in stock and on sale.
Lancôme
The Deal: Receive 30% off sitewide through May 30. Some exclusions apply.
My Picks
I recently tried this foundation and became hooked. It gives you such a natural, dewy glow without leaning oily.
This advanced radiance-boosting serum is loved by the likes of Lily Collins.
Isdin
The Deal: Take 25% off sitewide May 22 through 28.
My Picks
This ultra-light emulsion contains DNA repairosomes designed to help reverse sun damage to the skin. It's a favorite among skincare experts.
This potent vitamin C serum combines powerful antioxidants to brighten, plump, and revitalize the skin.
Naturopathica
The Deal: Receive 20% off all orders $75 or more from May 22 to 31.
My Picks
You'll have to snag a couple of things from Naturopathica to receive this deal, but that's easy when there are so many good products. These gentle resurfacing pads with aloe and glycolic acid get the job done without being irritating.
For a stronger decongestant, try the brand's Pumpkin Enzyme Peel, which resurfaces and brightens.
Milk Makeup
The Deal: Take 20% off sitewide with a purchase of $50 or more May 20 through 27 with the code MILKFAM.
My Picks
This is one of my all-time favorite primers because it's great for sensitive, acne-prone skin and doesn't contain silicones. It is a bit tacky when you apply it, but after it dries, it creates the perfect smooth canvas for makeup.
Joanna Vargas
The Deal: Receive 25% off sitewide May 24 through June 2.
My Picks
With peptides, retinol, antioxidants, and other hydrating ingredients, this serum is a powerhouse. You might as well snag it while it's 25% off.
With superstar ingredients like mandelic acid and vitamin C, this mask gently brightens hyperpigmentation and helps clear blemishes.
Vacation
The Deal: Take 20% off sitewide May 24 through 27.
My Picks
ICYWW, this does smell exactly like a tropical beach vacation, bottled.
Omorovicza
The Deal: Receive 20% off sitewide with code GLOWING from May 23 through June 1.
My Picks
This mask is so great at clearing blemishes but never irritates or dries out my skin in the process.
If you love a good facial oil, you won't regret trying this one. It repairs, soothes, and hydrates the skin with ingredients like almond oil and winged kelp extract.
Act+Acre
The Deal: Take 30% off sitewide through May 29.
