We are all now very I’m aware that there’s a major sale happening every day of the week. (And if you’re like me, the constant barrage of deals and bargains has led to a certain amount of shopping fatigue.) Most of these sales are nothing special. Sometimes the deals are tiny or there are clearly too many leftovers. And sometimes the savings are so pathetic that I mutter: “What’s that supposed to mean?”under my slightly annoyed breath.
So when I start browsing a sale and click “add to cart” with the speed of Sha’Carri Richardson, it’s a rare, if absolutely victorious, feeling. And this week, it’s all thanks to Shopbop. From August 12th to 18th, the retailer is offering 20% off selected, sought-after offers including brands like Augustinus Bader, Olaplex, Vacation, Supergoop!, Dr. Dennis Gross and so on, So and much more. Simply enter the code BEAUTY20 when paying and you’re ready to go. Oh, and because I have no self-control, check out all of my favorite picks and buys below.
Bask sun protection
Invisible sunscreen mist without aerosol SPF 30
For someone who lives in a warm and sunny climate 365 days a year, SPF is a year-round essential. Bask is the under-the-radar sunscreen brand that every beauty editor loves, but that many people (frustratingly) haven’t heard of. This aerosol-free mist provides a fine, ultra-even application, and the subtle vanilla-coconut scent is nostalgic, not gross.
ceremony
Guava Rescue Spray
This delicious 4-in-1 all-rounder is a regular in my beach bag (it detangles and protects against UV damage), but it’s also a great post-shower must-have if you’re looking for heat protection and shiny, super-healthy hair.
Barbara Sturm
Lip balm
$55 is a lot of money for a lip balm, even if it’s a cult product! You can bet I’ll be stocking up as long as I can get 20% off.
LAWLESS
Forget the Filler Lip Plumper Line-Smoothing Gloss
This is the lip gloss that made me a lip gloss fanatic. You won’t find a gloss that offers better shine, prettier color (if you want tinted) or more fullness to just make your lips look better.
Tammy Fender
Bulgarian rose water
I have tried many facial mists in my life, but this one from Tammy Fender is by far the most luxurious. So, yes, if your budget allows it, it is is worth the money!
Augustine Bader
Starter kit with rich cream
Glowing, dewy skin in fall and winter may seem like a contradiction, but once you’ve tried the liquid gold of Augustinus Bader’s The Rich Cream, you know it’s possible! Why not try a few more bestsellers while the sale is on?!
Sun protection for your vacation
Instant Vacation Tanning Lotion
I have very fair skin but always feel more confident when I glow a little. This Instant Vacation Browning Lotion is such a throwback to my teenage years when I would (very insecurely) bake on the patio with friends. without the sun damage. It has a tiny dose of self-tanning power, so you get instant long-lasting color (I love that!), plus a protective dose of SPF 30.
Sun protection for your vacation
Chardonnay Oil SPF 30
Don’t like tinted or self-tanning sunscreen formulas? Try the Radiance Sunscreen Oil that the editors at Who What Wear absolutely love.
Gold thread MD
Doctors peeling – Ruby Crystal Microderm
Infused with ruby crystals and many other delicious ingredients, this iconic facial scrub will give you baby-soft skin in minutes.
The beginning
Blue clay purifying mask
I love clay masks with a blue tint. (There’s something about them that reminds me of romantic comedies from the early 2000s!) But this formula from The Outset isn’t just fun to apply—it reduces shine without drying out the skin (miracle!) and sucks out pores so they’re practically invisible.
111SKIN
Rose Gold Glowing Eye Mask Box
If you want brighter, firmer, and practically shimmery under-eyes, these celebrity and editor-approved eye patches are the secret sauce.
Supergoop!
Glowscreen SPF 40
Who wouldn’t want a sunscreen that protects precious skin from sun damage, gives it a golden hour glow and provides a smooth, absolutely flawless base for makeup?!
Costa Brazil
Lua Moonlight Body Oil
There are body oils, and then there are Costa Brazil Body oils. If you’re familiar with the brand, you already know what I’m talking about. But if not, you’re in for a treat. Lua’s slightly shimmery finish and nutrient-rich ingredients (watch your skin look firmer and healthier right before your eyes!) will be your next addiction.
OUAI
Rose hair and body oil
One part body oil, one part hair oil, one part perfume (it smells like the popular rose scent from Ouai, Melrose Place!) means you’re basically getting three different products in one bottle that’s currently on sale. I’ll take several!
BeautyStat Cosmetics
Daily peeling pad with triple action in one step
I damn Love a good exfoliating pad. I also love waking up with smoother, brighter, and all-around healthier looking skin. These handy exfoliating pads are some of the best I’ve ever tried.
Jenny Patinkin
Pure Luxury Skin Smoothing Trio
Once you’ve had your face professionally dermaplaned, you’ll never go back to it. Now that I’m obsessed with how much better my skincare products penetrate and how much better my makeup looks and applies, I’ve *carefully* taught myself how to do dermaplaning at home. Quality tools like these stainless steel razors from Jenny Patinkin are a must.
Dennis Gross
Alpha Beta Glow Pad
I’ve already told you that I love a good exfoliating pad, so is it any surprise that I’m a fan of exfoliating pads that also give me a little glowing, sun-kissed color? These are especially great when you’re traveling.
RŌZ
Willow Glen Body Oil
I love everything from celebrity hairdresser Mara Roszak’s Rōz line, but this conditioning oil has truly transformed the length of my hair. Anyone who knows me knows that I love a fantastic pre-wash hair treatment, and this delicious blend of plant oils makes my hair so much softer and shinier after washing.
Agent Nature
Holi (mane) hair, skin, nails
Biotin gives me rashes like crazy (yes, it is one thing), and since virtually every hair and skin supplement has tons of it, I couldn’t use most of the products on the market. So I had to look at other types of formulas that are out there. I’m a huge fan of high-quality collagen, but this one from Agent Nateur is really the only one worth the money in my opinion. It’s a collaboration with renowned functional medicine expert Will Cole, IFMCP, DNM, DC, and contains marine collagen and pearl powder as its two main ingredients.
TOILET PAPER Beauty
A tube of hand cream to take with you
A girl can never have enough hand creams, and while I’m sure the formula and sweet almond scent are heavenly, I’m buying this one just for the packaging.
OLAPLEX
No. 9 Bond Protector Care Serum
No other hair serum has given my damaged hair as much shine and resilience as this miracle formula from Olaplex. It is the perfect antidote to post-summer hair chaos.
Beauty salon
Buriti Bronzer
Apply this creamy, sparkling bronzer from RMS to the high points of your face and chest and thank me later.
Peter Thomas Roth
Firmx Face & Eye Power Pair 2-piece set
Not many products live up to their hype and TikTok buzz, but this incredible firming face primer and eye treatment really packs a punch. If you’re looking for a firmer, brighter complexion, the $39 solution is for you – no Botox or office appointments required.
Revitalize
Masque De Brilliance Resurfacing Multi-Acid Mask
I was so impressed with how well this rejuvenating mask looked on my stressed skin that I wrote an entire article about it. Trust me – it’s the next best thing to a professional facial or peel.
I’m not really an eye shadow fan, but every now and then I like a touch of light-reflecting shimmer. Nobody does it look chicer than Róen’s Disco Eye.
