My Spring Beauty Restock Is Entirely on Sale—Everything I'm Shopping for $384
With deals up to 51% off.
There's something so cathartic about a spring clean-out. You feel lighter, more refreshed, and certainly stripped of the dead weight of your outdated winter sweaters and those expired skincare bottles. That said, once those boxes are donated and glass tubes are recycled, you're usually left with a small shopping list for restocking the essentials—and that's exactly what I'm in the midst of.
As a beauty editor who's made a living out of online shopping, I've become quite savvy when it comes to sourcing deals. I avoid paying full price for all of my beauty essentials if I can help it, and thanks to my experience surfing the sale sections, I've found all of the staples in my spring refresh slashed as high as 51% off. From daily face washes to chic, springtime nail polishes, this is the on-sale-only haul that saved me $209.
15 On-Sale Spring Beauty Essentials
I don't know about you, but fancy face washes tend to break my skin out. As someone who doesn't have acne-prone skin, this is deeply irritating! That said, it's precisely why I take advantage of any deals I spot on Cetaphil's Gentle Skin Cleanser, which effectively removes makeup, sweat, sunscreen, and oil buildup from throughout the day without stripping my skin. Drugstore face washes get the job done without the fuss (nor the pricey checkout total).
I have dry skin, which means that my complexion needs a little extra help year-round. While rich, deeply hydrating facial moisturizers do wonders for my skin in the fall and winter, these formulas are a bit too rich for everyday use once spring rolls around. For that extra pump of nourishment, I'm relying on The Inkey List's Peptide Moisturizer this season. It's plumping, nourishing without feeling too thick, and fast-absorbing, making it perfect for makeup prep and outdoor days.
According to celebrity manicurists, "leafy green" is one of spring's must-try nail polish shades, so I'm wasting no time before adding this kale hue to my bag. It's bold, elevated, and effortlessly chic, plus it's an entire $10 off if you shop right now.
Editorial manicurist Jin Soon Choi created these aura nail stickers, which are the easiest way to bring this ethereal trend home. Simply wait for your nail polish to dry before sticking one of these appliqués on top and sealing it with a topcoat. (The green aura spots would look super cute over the Tood nail polish, just saying!)
I, like most beauty lovers, have been on the lip peptide bandwagon for quite some time, but I'm still on the lookout for new tubes to complete my collection. Case in point, OleHenriksen's shimmery Peptide Lip Treatment: a micro-glitter-flecked, nourishing lip balm that leaves a lush, glassy, lip-plumping shine in its wake. Officially restocking now that this golden shade is nearly 50% off.
Okay, so this isn't a restock item, but it is one that I'm adding to my cart now that it's 50% off. This makeup and skincare case is the answer to my travel prayers, outfitted with elastic brush holders, slip pockets for runaway essentials like hair pins and cotton swabs, plus a roomy main compartment for all the products I'll need to pack for my spring travels.
I love a luxurious body lotion, but if I'm grabbing one at the drugstore, this Cetaphil bottle will be my choice every time. The lightweight formula is specifically made for those with dry skin (ahem, me!), and each drop absorbs super quickly, making it great for post-shower nighttime rituals and anyone who avoids greasy, thick lotions before sliding into their sheets.
I'll admit right now that I don't have the best hairstyling routine, especially after an evening hair wash. After I've showered the day away, the only thing I want to do is crawl into bed with a good book, which means that I let my hair air-dry more often than morning me appreciates. To prep my strands for their smoothest air-dries, I'm nabbing a few of these microfiber towels to help reduce dry time, control frizz, and wring any last droplets out.
I likely need not introduce you to the viral Sacheu lip stain, but I do need you to know about this on-sale duo that I'm snagging ahead of spring. Though red feels like the most quintessential winter lip color in existence, I beg to differ. With the release of Rhode's cherry-colored Pocket Blush, campaigned by Sarah Pidgeon, and the "sunburned" beauty aesthetic trending this spring, it's clear that red is hot, hot, hot this season. Personally, I can't wait to pair this juicy lip combo with a glowy tan this summer.
Warmer weather comes with a tighter social calendar, which means that I have consistently far less time to get ready for an outing than I do in the winter. To simplify my eye looks, I keep this exact Nudestix eye pencil on hand. It's great for smudging into a softly smoky eye shadow look, blending into the lash line for a kiss of liner, and can even double as a bronzer-contour hybrid if you're desperate. Plus, it's more than half off right now.
With blurred "Nina Park" lips trending this spring, there is no better product to grab (in general, but especially while it's on sale) than the Freck Beauty Makeout Club Lipstick. Engineered to deposit lip-blurring pigments onto your pout in an imperfectly chic way, this soft-blur lipstick offers the illusion of plumper lips while offering a very real dose of hydration.
I'm obsessed with keeping my espresso hair deep, dark, and glossy, and this glossy glaze is one of my favorites to stock up on. Redken's five-minute in-shower treatment gives you instant glass hair that lasts up to a week. What better time to hit "purchase" than when it's 50% off?
I waxed poetic about the e.l.f. Cosmetics Halo Glow Skin Tint last summer, though, I promptly ran out of it at the end of the year due to constant use. Now that this featherlight, ultra-glowy serum is cheaper than usual, I'm stocking back up for the warm weather ahead.
After having a not-so-fun realization that my hair is thinning this year, I've been increasing my efforts to incorporate volumizing, growth-inspiring, and thickening products into my routine. Two of my favorites have been Vegamour's Gro shampoo and conditioner, which not only boost shine and strengthen strands, but also nourish the scalp to promote healthier hair growth.
Why stop at the scalp? I'm also trying to boost the thickness and length of my lashes and brows this season, which is why I'm adding this two-pack of Grande Cosmetics' growth elixirs to my cart. They're 15% off right now and are very worth the bundled purchase.
