27 Luxury Beauty Buys Actually Worth the Splurge and Where to Get Them Cheaper
We've said it before, and we'll say it again: The post-Thanksgiving shopping blitz is plain exhausting. Even though we may not be hitting stores at the crack of dawn like we once did, the whole Cyber Weekend shuffle is a lot. Even if you're feeling overwhelmed by all the deals out there, I feel the need to let you know, friend to friend, that there are plenty of unmissable beauty buys to consider. And not just any buys, either. We're talking about those bougie, luxurious picks that too often fall just outside your price range.
Well, it's your lucky day because a number of those fancy beauty finds are seriously discounted. From life-changing skincare to iconic makeup and everything you'll need to make your home and body smell super rich, check out 28 of the best luxury beauty products currently on sale.
Fragrance
This unisex perfume is an editor favorite. With woody notes of burning wood and chestnut, you'll feel like you're in a cozy log cabin all winter.
This set of three fragrant candles includes By the Fireplace, Lazy Sunday Morning, and Bubble Bath Scented Candle. An ideal gift, if you ask us.
Skin
This science-backed cream has a cult following despite its hefty price tag. Grab it for 20% off today.
Start 2022 off with a zip! This wireless, gold-rimmed device delivers the benefits of an electrical nano-current facial and can be used daily to stimulate lymphatic drainage and increased circulation.
Editors stan this hyaluronic serum from Dr. Barbara Sturm and recommend it even when it's not on sale.
This UK-favorite vitamin C serum is great for all skin types, especially those looking to increase firmness and brighten.
You've seen the before and after photos, right? This multi-action treatment mask smooths, corrects, brightens, tightens, lifts, firms, and detoxifies—all at once. We recommend stocking up now or subscribing for monthly deliveries.
Don't think twice: this dermatologist-curated skincare regimen is going to sell out fast!
This facial-firming beauty tool might look like a toy, but it produces a natural lifting effect for all skin types that is sure to be appreciated by anyone who wants to maintain their skin's youthful texture.
If you're after impeccably soft skin, this body hydrator is formulated with five different types of hyaluronic acid for the most moisturizing effect possible.
Anyone with chronically dry skin knows that this La Mer product is the G.O.A.T. This luxuriously rich cream deeply soothes, moisturizes, and helps hydrate from head to toe.
Harness the power of a spa facial at home with this 2-in-1 ultrasonic device. The innovative stainless steel spatula deep cleans and minimizes the appearance of pores by removing dirt, oil, and blackheads, while vibrations help to boost circulation.
This popular device improves facial contouring and tone while reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Try it once and you'll be hooked.
Who couldn't use a spa day right about now? A collection of cult-favorite products from Susanne Kaufmann includes a calming bath soak for dry, sensitive skin, moisturizing mask, body butter, nourishing hand cream, warming foot cream, and a blend of skin-firming blend of cold-pressed botanical oils to use all over the body.
This spendy exfoliator is so worth the price. Maybe it's the tiny magnesium, sodium, and quartz crystals, or maybe it's the warming sensation, but we can't recommend it enough.
Sisley's Black Rose range is the luxe upgrade your spa day has been missing. Now, you can get this plumping, revitalizing mask at a discount.
Hair
Dry, brittle hair has met its match thanks to this four-piece set of super-hydrating hair treatments.
The interchangeable barrels are what makes this hot tool a winner. Each has a protective ceramic surface that glides smoothly over hair to help create shiny, frizz-free waves, spiral curls, and more fun hairstyles.
If you've been waiting for a sign that it's time to try a silk pillowcase, this is it. Your hair and skin will thank you.
Fellow flat hair friends, take note: this lineup features a shampoo and conditioner that are specifically formulated to add texture to fine hair and create volume that lasts.
The nourishing ingredients in this color-correcting tinted hair mask combined with an acidic pH of 4.5 help minimize porosity, fix natural oxidation, and enhance color. Whether you're a natural or bottle blonde, this is a hair care essential.
This strengthening, moisturizing hair oil is the reason that French girls have such good hair. Plus, it smells absolutely divine.
Makeup
The clean-makeup offerings from Saie are all so good. Now, you can test out everything from the beloved mascara to the glowy primer, the handy eyelash curler, and more.
We cannot get over Merit's stunning lip oils. They are so hydrating and perfectly pigmented. It's like magic.
Thanks to a multidimensional rose pink hue, this cult-favorite lip kit belongs in the beauty hall of fame. With three different lip finishes in colors you get to pick yourself, you'll have a product for every upcoming occasion.
A good quad can be hard to find, but this set of complementary eye shadows in neutral shades ranging from sparkly to matte checks all of the boxes.
It looks like a lipstick but feels like a lip stain. Too good to be true? Nope! And at this price, it's worth stocking up.
