Hello, summer! As we enter the new season, excitement is brewing for weekend getaways, longer days, and, of course, beauty sales! Summer is one of my favorite times to shop for my beauty products. As the seasons change, I often switch out my skin, hair, and makeup products for more lightweight, frizz-fighting, and sweatproof options. And while we all know that any time is a good time for shopping, this 4th of July, Sephora is kicking off the holiday with their first-ever deal week sale.
This sale will help you beat the heat and save big. It starts on Thursday, July 4th, and ends on Wednesday, July 10th. The sale includes up to 50 percent off select makeup, fragrance, and more. You get 25 percent off shampoo and conditioners, including brands like K18 and Pattern by Tracee Ellis Ross, so you can experience hair growth and have healthy strands year-round. In addition, they will have 25 percent off fan-favorite skin care brands, including Kiehl’s, Guerlain, and Youth to the People—be sure to head to Sephora.com frequently during the sale because the brands change daily. “If you love scoring deals on your favorite beauty products for summer, this is the sale you’ve been dreaming of. It’s the perfect time to treat yourself,” says Sephora’s beauty director, Helen Phillips Dagdag.
With deals like these, your favorite viral beauty products are sure to sell out. Not sure what to shop? No worries—ELLE spoke with Dagdag, who shared her favorite summer beauty essentials that will be on sale. Below, her top 10 picks to shop.
