Memorial Day Sales Are Here and We’re Kind of Freaking Out?


We’ve cracked the code: April showers bring May flowers, and May flowers bring the best Memorial Day beauty sales. Even though we’re sad to see May go, the end of the month is kind of incredible, because deals on makeup, skin care, and hair care abound—many of which are at our all-time favorite retailers. And, TBH, we Allure editors are having trouble staying focused on work because we’re busy daydreaming about what we’re about to add to our carts.

Now that we’ve arrived at the holiday weekend, retailers like Ulta Beauty, Amazon, and Nordstrom have been generous enough to open the floodgates on their full discount agenda (like, some are up to 50% off, without a code). Scroll on for the best Memorial Day sales live this second. Now go forth and shop.

The Best Memorial Sale Picks

Amazon Memorial Day Sales:

Revlon

One Step Root Booster Round Brush Dryer and Hair Styler

Revlon wasn’t kidding when they named this tool “One Step.” The Root Booster Round Brush Dryer and Hair Styler gets your hair smooth, silky, frizz-free, and styled stat.

E.L.F.

Monochromatic Multi Stick

The versatile E.l.f Monochromatic Multi Stick is a cream-to-powder formula that you can swipe on your eyes, lips, and cheeks for a tied-together, glowy look. It’s super blendable, too.

Maybelline New York

Lash Sensational Sky High Washable Mascara

“I applied two coats to my top and bottom lashes, and guys, I was shocked. This mascara made me look like I had a fluffy set of falsies on,” gushes shopping market editor Angela Trakoshis about this mascara. “The finish is very smooth and not clumpy. It really does exactly what its name says: make your lashes sky high.”

Waterpik

Cordless Advanced 2.0

If you’ve been reprimanded by your dentist more than once for skimping on flossing, grab Waterpik’s Cordless Advanced 2.0. This water flosser is easy to use and thorough, getting between each chomper with a precise stream of water, clearing plaque, gunk, and making your dentist proud.

Nordstrom Memorial Day Sales:

Tom Ford

Shade and Illuminate Soft Radiance Foundation SPF 50

Tom Ford’s Shade and Illuminate Soft Radiance Foundation SPF 50 not only makes your face look flawless, but it also protects against dangerous UV rays. It’s also spiked with hyaluronic acid and oils derived from crabwood, açai, and noni fruit.

Bobbi Brown

Bobbi Brown Dual-Ended Long-Wear Cream Eyeshadow Stick in Cashew

“Wearing eyeshadow doesn’t always mean a full cut-crease beat. These shadow sticks are user-friendly and practically mistake-free,” said tester Talia Gutierrez. “The only tool you’ll need is one fingertip! My favorite shade is taupe, but when I want to amp up some dimension and shadow, I’ll pat in the shade Bark for a quick and easy matte, smokey eye.”

Haruharu Wonder

Black Rice Triple AHA Gentle Cleansing Gel

Haruharu Wonder’s Black Rice Triple AHA Gentle Cleansing Gel is a hard-working but easygoing pick that washes away a day’s worth of gunk and grime without stripping.

Airstrait in Jasper Plum

A Dyson Airstrait is probably already on your wishlist, so now is a good time to pull the trigger. It’s on sale at Nordstrom in a brand new limited edition colorway, the muted violet Jasper Plum.

Brooklinen Memorial Day Sales:

Brooklinen

Super-Plush Robe

Once you go towel-robe, you’ll never go back. Just ask contributing commerce writer Annie Blackman, who uses her Super-Plush Robe post-showever every day. “This thing is cushy, drying, and so freaking cute,” she shares.

So you’re a hot sleeper but still want some overnight coziness? Grab Brooklinen’s Airweave Cotton Quilt, a lightweight blanket perfect for summer.

We’ve added an embarassing number of these Washed European Linen Pillowcases to our cart already. They’re soft, cool, and come in the most stunning shades.

Brooklinen

Percale Duvet Cover

Few things hit like crisp, high-quality cotton. That’s why we adore the Percale Duvet Cover. It’s on the pricier side, sure, which is why we’re acting now.

Nordstrom Rack Memorial Day Sales:

Olaplex

In Good Repair Strength & Shine Hair Set

Olaplex’s In Good Repair Strength & Shine Hair Set has it going on. This four-piecer includes some of the bond-building brand’s biggest hits—No.7 Bonding Oil, No.3 Hair Perfector, No.4 Bond Maintenance Shampoo, and No.5 Bond Maintenance Conditioner.

Supergoop’s Every.Single.Face Watery Lotion SPF 50 goes on super lightly and offers plentiful protection. And that round bottle? So cute.

Mineral Unseen Sunscreen SPF 40

We’d venture to say Unseen Sunscreen is the brand’s biggest hit. It goes on completely clear and can double as a makeup primer.

Another weightless pick, Supergoop’s Triple Prep Weightless Multitasking Moisturizer SPF 50 brings all the hydrating creaminess of a moisturizer, and all the UV defense of an SPF. Wins all around.

“I’ve always shied away from self-tanners (maybe one day I’ll have the guts!) and this SPF warms up my skin tone beautifully and produces similar results without any commitment,” says commerce editor Sarah Han of Glowscreen SPF 40.

Dermstore Memorial Day Sales:

EltaMD

UV AOX Elements Broad-Spectrum SPF 50

Elta MD makes some incredible sunscreen, and the UV AOX Elements Broad-Spectrum SPF 50 is no exception. This tinted pick evens out tone while providing antioxidant protection and, of course, UV defense.

Oribe

Gold Lust Repair and Restore Shampoo and Conditioner Bundle

Oribe’s whole Gold Lust line is to die for, so we obviously love this Repair and Restore Shampoo and Conditioner Bundle. Here, you get three favorites to soften, strengthen, and scent your hair beautifully.

Augustinus Bader

The Rich Cream Bundle

“The formula is dense, but a little goes a long way. One pump in the morning and another each evening has made my skin gleam without the white cast other heavy creams tend to leave on my olive complexion,” said former associate special projects manager Talia Guiterrez of the Augustinus Bader Rich Cream—here, in a bundle. “I don’t use it under foundation, but I do use it religiously at night for calming my dry, irritated skin.”

Harry Josh Pro Tools

Cordless Ceramic 1 Inch Curling Wand

A superb cordless curling wand? Say less. This one from Harry Josh is perfect for on-the-go styling, with perfectly even heat distribution to boot.

Billie

Razor Starter Kit

“I came for Billie’s pink, sparkly handles and stayed for the smooth shave,” says Blackman. “My legs will erupt with bumps randomly after shaving, no matter how moisturized and exfoliated I am, and Billie cuts down on that as much as humanly (razorly) possible.”

Those are just a few of the many, many Memorial Day Weekend sales you can shop right now. These favorites won’t stay in stock for long, so act fast before it’s too late.
