Ulta and Sephora Are Having Major Sales On Editor-Vetted Products—Here's What to Pick Up

There’s nothing better than a good deal…except for a discount on a good deal. This curated set from Sephora includes three full size products—Caliray’s tubing mascara, Kulfi’s serum primer, and the Violette_FR lip stain—not to mention a generously sized mini Merit Flush Balm and minis of Ciel’s liquid blush, Saie’s Glowy Super Gel, Josie Maran’s Whipped Argan Oil Body Butter, and a travel size of Tower 28 Beauty’s SOS Daily Barrier Recovery Cream. Not only do you get a great array of products—pretty much a full face of glowy, no-makeup makeup—at $39.20, you also get a real bang for your buck.

Don’t let product build up ruin your scalp health this summer. Instead, try this weekly scalp treatment pre-wash day and give your scalp the clean slate it deserves. The serum helps break down residue on the scalp while nourishing it to fight against flakes and irritation. It’s formulated with marula oil to boost hydration and reduce irritation, and zinc PCA to stabilize sebum production so your scalp doesn’t get too oily. I love that the packaging comes with a built-in applicator tip so you can easily apply the serum to the scalp.

It can be hard to find a vitamin C serum that is gentle enough for daily use, but also stable enough that it doesn’t oxidize too quickly. Paula’s Choice C15 Super Booster, however, is one such product. I love the formula because it pairs brightening ascorbic acid, which can aggravate my acne-prone skin, with moisturizing glycerin, which helps protect against irritation, so I get to have my cake and eat it too.

I hate shaving, but am also too much of a wimp to get my legs waxed regularly. Thank the beauty gods at-home IPL hair removal devices like Ulike’s Air3 exist. The Air3 This kit comes with everything you need for at-home hair removal, including a razor to prep your skin for treatment and protective glasses to wear while you use it. The device has three power levels—gentle mode, regular mode, and power mode—and features Ulike’s Sapphire Ice-Cooling technology, which helps keep the device cool to the touch and keep you pain-free. The only downside is that it’s not effective on deeper skin tones.

In a world saturated with beauty tools, it’s rare to find one that is truly unique. The BeautyBio GLOfacial Hydro-Infusing Pore Cleansing + Blue LED Clarifying Tool sets itself apart by combining a pore-cleaning vacuum with a hydro-infusion salicylic acid solution. The vacuum suction helps clear pores while the salicylic acid and hyaluronic acid solution delivers the serum directly onto your skin so you can extract and exfoliate all at the same time.

When it’s hot outside, the last thing I want to do is blow dry my hair. Alas, air drying usually leaves my hair limp and my neck stiff, so I’m forced to blast my head with hot air after every wash. Over the years, I’ve learned that the trick to blow drying your hair on hot days isn’t just using the cool function, it’s investing in a strong, high-quality hair dryer that’ll transform your wet mop into a styled blowout as fast as possible, like the Shark Beauty Flexstyle. It works fast and comes with four attachments so you can use it to (quickly) style your hair.

I use hot tools on my hair relatively frequently, so I rely on a good hair mask to keep my strands feeling silky, hydrated, and, most importantly, healthy. The Redken Acidic Bonding Concentrate 5 Minute Mask is a celebrity stylist-endorsed deep conditioner that uses citric acid and a conditioning care complex to help revive processed or damaged hair. In other words, it’s the perfect pick-me-up for hair that’s in need of a lifeline.

Over the past few years, I've been on a mission to find the best eyeshadow stick. And so far, IT Cosmetic's Superhero No-Tug Longwear Eyeshadow Stick is the only one that comes close to perfection. I love this formula because it's easy to blend, doesn't require an eyeshadow primer, and lasts all day without creasing. This shade, Tough Tan, is a warm, brown shade, perfect for adding a little dimension on the eyelids and for creating a base for your summer look.

Whether you're buying for yourself or as a gift, you really can't go wrong with the classic Marc Jacobs Daisy Eau de Parfum. This Intense version is a slightly deeper twist on the original Daisy fragrance, so it'll last all day and all night. With notes of pear, bergamot, jasmine, honey, and musk, Daisy Intense is the perfect mix of fruity and sweet floral.

Give yourself a sun-free tan with this Bali Body tanning foam. The light, airy formula dries down quickly for minimal risk of staining, and promises to leave you with a streak-free glow. The formula is so good, it was even crowned the Best Lightweight Self Tanner by Marie Claire's own Beauty Editor, Siena Gagliano.
