I'm Refreshing My Beauty Cabinet for Spring—15 On-Sale Finds in My Amazon Cart
As a beauty editor, I live for opportunities to score major deals on my favorite products, so you can bet I'll be all over one of Amazon's biggest sales of the year. I already have my eye on a couple of products I want to snag while I still can. During Amazon's Big Spring Sale, taking place between March 20 and 25, beauty lovers can shop hundreds of beauty products for less, including some from the most reputable and recognizable brands in the beauty space like Embryolisse, Nuxe, Ogee, Sulwhasoo, and more.
Believe me when I say these deals are way to good to pass up! For shopping inspiration as you head into the sale, keep scrolling to see my picks for skincare, haircare, and makeup products I'm keen on restocking my beauty cabinet with. You'll definitely want to bookmark these for easy access over the next five days—they'll be sold out before you know it.
Skincare
Sulwhasoo has been one of my favorite Korean skincare brands for years, and its Concentrated Ginseng Renewing Brightening Ampoule is one of my top picks. It has made the biggest difference in the appearance of my hyperpigmentation and dark spots, especially when I used it in tandem with the Concentrated Ginseng Brightening Serum.
Plantifique's gua sha tool is handcrafted from 100% authentic jade gua sha stone from Anshan City in the Liaoning province of China. I swear by using this facial massage tool daily to help me relieve tension while de-puffing and brightening the under-eye area, defining my cheek bones, and sculpting my jawline. It also works wonders for promoting circulation, giving my skin a healthy-looking glow.
I'm surprised with how long it took me to hop on the toner-pad train, but I'm glad I finally did a few months ago. Anua's Heartleaf 77 Toner Pads contain PHA (an active, mild exfoliating ingredient) to delicately exfoliate dead skin cells and reduce the appearance of blackheads, whiteheads, and breakouts. It also helps me reduce my pore size for smooth and healthy skin.
A best seller since its original launch in 1950, Embryolisse's Lait-Crème Concentré is a vitamin- and antioxidant-enriched moisturizer ideal for dry skin. It has a light and milky texture that absorbs easily, leaving the complexion with a soft satiny finish. Its hero product, shea butter, delivers skin-nourishing essential fatty acids that repair the lipid barrier and increase elasticity.
This gentle yet effective serum reduces the look of fine lines, wrinkles, and uneven tone and texture. In addition to being lightweight and fast-absorbing, this serum helps support a radiant complexion using a noncomedogenic and dermatologist-approved formula using bakuchiol, niacinamide, and holy basil. My hyperpigmentation is no match against this must-have serum.
Hairstyling
With silk-press season still upon us, I'm scrambling to pull off the perfect modern-day Donna Summer blowout with the help of these ceramic thermal hair rollers. Designed to evenly distribute heat and set curls while cooling, they provide longer-lasting volume with less heat. They're also the perfect compact size and easy to take with me on the go in any of my tote bags for overnight trips.
Dae's Cactus Fruit 3-in-1 Styling Cream is a clean, multitasking formula that's infused with desert-derived extracts to polish, smooth, and moisturize the hair while combating frizz. Ideal for all hair types and textures, the products uses three of my favorite products to nourish the hair: antioxidant-rich dragon fruit, prickly pear seed oil, and meadowfoam seed oil.
Everything is better when it comes in twos. The R+Co Waterfall Moisture and Shine Lotion set comes in a full size and a bonus sample size that's the perfect solution for travel. Ideal for fine to medium hair and extra-long hair, this light, hydrating lotion will leave hair glossy, soft, and manageable using a blend of babassu oil, witch hazel, rosemary, and nettle.
Self-Care
This dry oil uses seven precious botanical oils and 98% natural ingredients to provide long-lasting hydration for the skin. It helps to visibly reduce stretch marks, resulting in a glowy and smooth finish. I like to apply a few drops of the dry oil to my skin in circular motions, focusing especially on dry areas, stretch marks, and dark spots as part of my full morning and evening routines.
My hair may grow quickly, but it's unfortunately never been full in its chemically treated or natural states. I swear by Viviscal's Hair Thickening Serum, a lightweight, volume-boosting leave-in treatment to give me thicker hair. Its formula features biotin, keratin, marine collagen, and seaweed extract for strong, frizz-free strands. Pro tip: Pair it with the brand's Hair Supplements for quick results.
Say hello to longer, fuller lashes. This plant-based lash growth serum is packed with peptides and amino acids to boost the production of keratin, the key structural protein of hair. Its formula's botanical extracts promote new hair growth, helping to fill in sparse or patchy lid lines in as little as three to four weeks. By this time next year, I will have majorly cut back on the amount of mascara in my makeup bag.
Makeup
Lately, I've been on the hunt for mascaras that achieve maximum length and volume with clean, high-performance formulas. This Covergirl mascara is infused with argan and marula oils and uses an applicator brush that separates and defines for visibly longer, fuller lashes, offering 10 times the volume of bare lashes. For a hint of color, I usually opt for the mascara in the gorgeous black-brown shade.
I'm not normally one for matte lips, but Nyx's Smooth Whip Matte Lip Cream has me sold. It's designed with a scoop lipstick applicator that hugs your lips for the perfect application and offers smooth, pigmented color in just one quick swipe. My favorite shade is Kitty Belly, the perfect peach-nude shade for my deep skin tone to kick of the spring and summer months.
If you're after a glowing, soft-focus makeup look, this makeup-skincare hybrid works to enhance the overall look of your skin. TikTok may have convinced me to buy it, but I'm sure glad those hundreds of beauty content creators did. It can be worn on its own, under or over makeup, or mixed in with your foundation for a fresh, luminous finish. Plus, it's offered in a variety of shades.
If you haven't gotten your hands on any part of Ogee's Contour Complexion Sets, take this as your sign to go for it. I use the blush stick religiously to create that just-pinched rosy glow I'm obsessed with. (The shade Carnelian is my top pick.) Its formula uses green coffee oil to stimulate collagen, sal tree resin to refine the appearance of pores, and organic tapioca powder to smooth the appearance of skin and absorb excess oils.
