Unless your job involves high-risk activities like skydiving or professional stunts, then you have probably experienced the heart-racing feeling of scoring the best deal ever on your online shopping cart. Well, here at Refinery29, our shopping team (from the comfort of our very stationary desks, might we add) dutifully spend our days compiling the best sales across fashion, home, and more for your clicking pleasure. Welcome to The Score!
Whether you’re a makeup maven or skincare savant, there’s nothing quite like indulging in a luxe face mask while catching up on Netflix, or trying a brand new lipstick that instantly brightens your day, week, month, or even your year. That’s the beauty of beauty — that little bit of magic that we treat ourselves to because we deserve it.
So, whether you’re looking to peruse the best sale sections of the Internet or want to be the first to shop those unicorn brands that never go on sale (*cough* Tatcha), feel free to click through these slides to find the best brands and retailers across hair, makeup, skincare, and more to shop. Rest assured that whenever we get wind of a can’t-miss beauty sale, you’ll see it here — and be sure to check back often, since we’ll be updating it regularly with new steals to be had.
At Refinery29, we’re here to help you navigate this overwhelming world of stuff. All of our market picks are independently selected and curated by the editorial team. If you buy something we link to on our site, Refinery29 may earn commission.
