As the Strategist’s deals editor, I sift through hundreds of discounts every day. Some of my favorite finds are in the beauty bins: The price drops are impressive, and there’s almost always something from our archives in the mix. And each week, I find the best-of-the-best beauty products on sale across the internet, exclusively for Beauty Brief newsletter subscribers, and present them to you here.


First Aid Beauty Firming Cream - 3.4 Oz.

Yes

First Aid Beauty’s Firming Cream comes recommended by dermatologist Dr. Caroline Robinson, who likes it for “achieving plump-looking, bouncy skin.” With ingredients like niacinamide, peptides, and collagen, it “protects existing collagen, supports collagen production, and also helps increase hydration.”


CeraVe Moisturizing Cream - Limited Edition Après-ski

Want to be emailed about sales and other updates to your saved products?

Success! You’ll get an email when something you’ve saved goes on sale.

Yes

CeraVe’s inexpensive moisturizer — which is our top drugstore pick for dry skin — is on sale in a 12-ounce limited-edition “après-ski” tub. One dermatologist we spoke to called it “a must for winter” owing to its simple formula that’s packed with ceramides, which help to boost moisture levels and repair skin.


Coola Refreshing Water Mist Sunscreen SPF 18

Want to be emailed about sales and other updates to your saved products?

Success! You’ll get an email when something you’ve saved goes on sale.

Yes

This face mist from Coola doubles as sunscreen. Since it’s water- (rather than alcohol-) based, it feels hydrating, not sticky.


Schick Hydro Silk Touch-Up - 3-Count

Want to be emailed about sales and other updates to your saved products?

Success! You’ll get an email when something you’ve saved goes on sale.

Yes

I love these cheap little tools for dermaplaning and getting rid of upper-lip hair. (We’ve also said they’re helpful when installing lace-front wigs.)

Three-packs of Aussie hair products — including the oldie-but-a-goodie 3 Minute Miracle deep conditioner — are all on sale at Amazon right now, if you need to stock up.


Conair Double Ceramic One-Inch Flat Iron With Claw Clip

Conair Double Ceramic ½-Inch Curling Iron

Want to be emailed about sales and other updates to your saved products?

Success! You’ll get an email when something you’ve saved goes on sale.

Yes

If you’re looking for an affordable drugstore hair tool, Conair is always a solid bet. Both this flat iron and curler are under $20 (and the former even comes with a claw clip).


CLE Cosmetics CCC Cream

Want to be emailed about sales and other updates to your saved products?

Success! You’ll get an email when something you’ve saved goes on sale.

Yes

Our favorite CC cream with a radiant finish is 35 percent off. Writer Arielle Avila reports that “even the dry patches on my skin look dewy and fresh after applying this.” You don’t need much, either: a pea-size drop “is enough for light coverage on most of my face, and adding more product for extra coverage doesn’t lead to cakiness or pilling,” she says. It’s got SPF 50, too!


NYX Can’t Stop Won’t Stop 24-Hour Full-Coverage Matte Concealer

Want to be emailed about sales and other updates to your saved products?

Success! You’ll get an email when something you’ve saved goes on sale.

Yes

NYX’s products are already fairly inexpensive — yet still effective — but now this full-coverage concealer is just $5.


Sephora Collection Sephora Colorful Lip Gloss Balm

Want to be emailed about sales and other updates to your saved products?

Success! You’ll get an email when something you’ve saved goes on sale.

Yes

Sephora employees themselves told us that the store’s in-house collection is an excellent source for dupes, including this gloss-balm that’s said to rival Dior lip oil.


Good Light Lip Milk

Want to be emailed about sales and other updates to your saved products?

Success! You’ll get an email when something you’ve saved goes on sale.

Yes

Sadly, Good Light is shutting down in April. We’ve been seeing the brand’s products start to go on sale at retailers across the internet — today, the ultrahydrating Lip Milk is 25 percent off when you buy it in Taste of Space clear. (The two tinted options, Hot Chocolate and Strawberry, are having a buy-one-get-one-40-percent-off deal.)

A handful of summery body mists from Boy Smells are half off at Anthropologie. Cream Dream has notes of French vanilla, buttercream, and blond woods; Lycheelicious has notes of (duh) litchi, peony, and sugared musks; and Fruity Lips has notes of raspberry, cherry blossom, and cocoa butter.
