There's not a whole lot to look forward to on the weekends these days, but we're all about positivity and silver linings over here. One such happiness-inducer? The Saks Fifth Avenue Friends and Family Sale. If you're an avid sale shopper, then you know department store discount events often exclude the most exciting beauty buys. That is not the case here. We're not even exaggerating when we say the beauty selection of this sale is fully lit.
Now, we're not suggesting you need to spend a bunch of money to make yourself happy (there are plenty of other things you can do with your weekend that won't cost you a single cent), but we are saying that if you're a fan of prestige beauty brands like La Mer, Augustinus Bader, Sisley Paris, and Byredo, then you're going to want to shop this sale.
Whether you're shopping for yourself or for your loved ones, we suggest you hop to it quickly, as the sale ends this Sunday, April 12. We had some time, so we took the liberty of picking out the best 35 items you won't want to miss. Check out the items we've zeroed in on ahead.
