WEEKLY STEAL 💋 9/4–9/10 | Urban Decay Face Bond Luminizer Waterproof Liquid Highlighter

WEEKLY STEAL 💋 9/4–9/10 | Urban Decay Face Bond Self-Setting Waterproof Foundation

WEEKLY STEAL 💋 9/4–9/10 | Beekman 1802 Micellar Milk Froth Cleansing Gel & Makeup Remover
A longtime IT Cosmetics favorite and a good one to grab while it’s half off, especially since mascara is something you’ll eventually need to replace anyway. $14 instead of $28 all week.
WEEKLY STEAL 💋 9/4–9/10 | IT Cosmetics Superhero Elastic Stretch Volumizing Mascara
This is the kind of sale I’d use to restock something I know I’ll use. Drybar’s Detox Dry Shampoo is made to absorb excess oil and refresh your hair between wash days, and it’s $15 instead of $30 this week.
WEEKLY STEAL 💋 9/4–9/10 | Drybar Detox Dry Shampoo
If you’re regularly blow drying, curling or straightening your hair, heat protectant is one of those products worth keeping around. Hot Toddy helps protect hair from heat while styling and is 50% off this week, starting at $15.50.
WEEKLY STEAL 💋 9/4–9/10 | Drybar Hot Toddy Heat Protectant Mist

Sept 5 Beauty Steals 💋
Sept. 5 had SO many good brands in the lineup.
These are the Beauty Steals that stood out to me from the day, including makeup, skincare, SPF, haircare and fragrance at 50% off. 💋
One of my top picks from today’s sale! If you’ve been wanting to try Rare Beauty’s luminous blush, THIS is the time. It gives you blush + a gorgeous glow in one, and getting Rare Beauty for 50% off doesn’t happen every day.
9/5: Rare Beauty Soft Pinch Luminous Powder Blush
Medicube’s PDRN line has been everywhere, and this is such a good opportunity to try another product from it without paying full price. It’s a moisturizing cream focused on hydration and that plump, glowy skin look.
9/5: Medicube PDRN Pink Collagen Capsule Cream
Another SPF pick, but this one is for my glowy-skin girls. It gives you sun protection with an illuminating finish, so it’s especially pretty on no-makeup days or underneath makeup.
9/5: Kopari Sun Veil Illuminating Elixir Face Sunscreen
Charlotte Tilbury at 50% off is automatically worth my attention. This is a medium-coverage foundation with a more natural, healthy-looking finish, so if you’ve had it on your wishlist but couldn’t justify the full price, today’s the day.
9/5: Charlotte Tilbury Beautiful Skin Foundation
SPF that doubles as part of your makeup routine. Glowscreen gives your skin a luminous finish that looks so pretty alone or under makeup. If you already use it regularly, I’d definitely take advantage of getting it for half off.
9/5: Supergoop! Glowscreen Sunscreen with Hyaluronic Acid + Niacinamide
This is the kind of 21 Days deal I LOVE because it’s something you’ll actually use. This is a must have for me every morning. It’s a multitasking leave-in for detangling, heat protection and making your hair more manageable, and Pureology can get pri...
9/5: Pureology Color Fanatic Leave-In Conditioner

9/6 ONLY 💋 Vacation “GRAND CUVÉE” Eau de Toilette
The newest of the four and inspired by Vacation’s Orange Gelée scent. 🍊 If you love that nostalgic, bronzy summer fragrance vibe, this is the one I’d check out. It’s normally $60, but the 1 oz is just $30 during today’s Beauty Steal.

9/6 ONLY 💋 Ariana Grande LOVENOTES Eau de Parfum
A Clinique classic and one of those skincare staples that has been around forever for a reason. If this is already part of your routine, I’d definitely restock while it’s only $17 instead of $34. And if you’ve been wanting to try it, 50% off is a muc...
9/6 ONLY 💋 Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion
The Smashbox primer I’d look at if you want more hydration instead of just smoothing and blurring. It helps prep and hydrate the skin before makeup, and getting it for 50% off makes it way more worth trying.
9/6 ONLY 💋 Smashbox Photo Finish Hydrating Primer+
One of the OG makeup primers! If you want a smoother, more blurred-looking base before foundation, this is the classic Smashbox formula. Today is definitely the time to grab it at 50% off instead of paying full price.

9/7 ONLY 💋 Sol de Janeiro Cheirosa 76 Hair & Body Perfume Mist
Vanilla fragrance girls, this is one I’d look at. Vanilla Bourbon is a warm gourmand with vanilla, brown sugar and night-blooming jasmine for a sweet, rich vanilla that feels more elevated than straight-up sugary. Today it’s $49 instead of $98.
9/7 ONLY 💋 NEST New York Vanilla Bourbon Eau de Parfum
One of my skincare picks from today’s sale! This concentrated ampoule is made to support firmer, smoother and more radiant-looking skin with exosomes, peptides and other skin-supporting ingredients. Peach & Lily can get pricey, so $26.50 instead ...
9/7 ONLY 💋 Peach & Lily MiniProtein Exosome Bioactive Ampoule
This is one of those 21 Days deals where the 50% off really adds up. Murad’s Retinol Youth Renewal Serum is made to target the look of fine lines, uneven texture and loss of firmness, and today you can grab it for $48.50 instead of $97.
9/7 ONLY 💋 Murad Retinol Youth Renewal Serum
Probably one of the most practical buys from today’s sale. This lightweight blow-dry spray helps protect against heat while speeding up blow-dry time and leaving hair smoother and shinier. $15 instead of $30 is definitely a stock-up price.
9/7 ONLY 💋 Redken Quick Blowout Heat Protectant Spray
A longtime Philosophy staple that combines cleansing and gentle exfoliation in one step. If you like a physical exfoliating cleanser for smoothing away dry, dull skin, today it’s $16 instead of $32.
9/7 ONLY 💋 Philosophy Microdelivery Exfoliating Daily Facial Wash
Sept 14 Beauty Steals 💕
Today is especially good if your wishlist is heavy on hair + skincare. Drybar, COSRX, Kitsch, Too Faced, Verb, Coco & Eve, and more are in the Sept. 14 lineup for 50% off. These are the deals I’d check out before paying full price later. 💕
This is the one I’d pick for smoothing and drying larger sections quickly. The oval shape helps create volume at the roots while giving the lengths that smooth blowout look.
9/14 ONLY 💋 Drybar The Double Shot Oval Blow-Dryer Brush
If you have shorter hair or want more control around your roots and face-framing pieces, I’d pick the Half Shot. The smaller round barrel makes it easier to add volume and shape, and it’s $77.50 instead of $155.
9/14 ONLY 💋 Drybar The Half Shot Small Round Blow-Dryer Brush
This one gives you the shape and movement of a traditional round-brush blowout without trying to hold a brush and dryer at the same time. It’s $77.50 instead of $155 today.
9/14 ONLY 💋 Drybar The Single Shot Round Blow-Dryer Brush
Hot rollers are so good for creating that bouncy blowout look while you finish getting ready. This set adds curls and volume without having to curl every section individually, and it’s $64.50 instead of $129.
9/14 ONLY 💋 Drybar The Roller Club Curling Hot Rollers
If your skin is dry or dehydrated, this is the COSRX product I’d look at. It’s a rich hyaluronic acid moisturizer that helps your skin feel softer and more hydrated, and it’s only $12.50 instead of $25.
9/14 ONLY 💋 COSRX Hyaluronic Acid Intensive Cream
You already know I love a good PDRN skincare product. This mask also includes collagen and peptides for that hydrated, plump, glowy-skin look, and it’s only $8.50 instead of $17.
9/14 ONLY 💋 COSRX PDRN Exosome Skinplaning Glaze Mask
A blush and lip color in one is perfect for quick makeup days. This gives you a soft flush with a whipped texture, and $14.50 instead of $29 is such a good price for Too Faced.
9/14 ONLY 💋 Too Faced Cloud Crush Whipped Lip & Cheek Color
Florida humidity and frizz are a terrible combination, so this is one of the more practical picks for me. It helps smooth the hair and protect against humidity, and it’s only $11 instead of $22.
9/14 ONLY 💋 Verb Frizz Defense Smoothing Spray
If you regularly blow-dry, straighten or curl your hair, heat protectant is a must. This protects up to 450 degrees without making the hair feel heavy, and it’s $11 instead of $22.
9/14 ONLY 💋 Verb Ghost Heat Defense Spray
