Week Three Deals

Friday, March 22

If you're on top of all the viral beauty products, you've definitely heard of the Too Faced Better Than Sex mascara ($29; $15) that reviewers swear lives up to the name. Because what's better than a mascara that curls, lengthens, thickens and kicks up your lash volume *without* clumping up? We'll wait, but not for long because the discount on the coveted StriVectin Super-C serum ($75; $38) is also too good to miss. FYI: Vitamin C and retinol are the product's rock star ingredients, which reportedly help rejuvenate and brighten dull, tired skin, all while smoothing rough texture and fine lines.

It's no secret how we feel about the Tarte Shape Tape concealer ($32; $16), so we'll cut to the chase. If you're new to the product, PureWow's Senior Food Editor Katherine Gillen says it's the most blendable concealer she's ever tried, adding that "it looks like real skin...not like I'm hiding something with makeup. That, coupled with the buildable coverage, has me like, ‘Zit? What zit?’” Needless to say, you won't want to miss your chance to stock up. If you're a fan of the Sunday Riley C.E.O. Glow face oil that we reviewed, you should also consider scooping up the cream version today. The C.E.O. Afterglow cream ($65; $33) is packed with vitamin C, which has been shown to help minimize dark spots and wrinkles. Just take it from this buyer who says, "The difference this has made in my skin over the past month or so is night and day! My skin is bright and smooth and my hyperpigmentation has diminished tremendously!" Well, in that case, we'll take two jars, please!

Sunday, March 24

We've been counting the days until we could snag the Tarte Blush Tape liquid blush ($36; $18) and famous Drybar Buttercup blow dryer ($199; $100) on sale for half off, so you can bet we're adding them to our carts ASAP. You should, too, especially if you want your skin to look sun-kissed and your blowout to look perfect this spring and summer. Yes, the blow dryer is all the business with three heat settings, two power functions and Ionic technology, which supposedly dries hair *20 times faster* than most professional dryers, per the brand. Need we say more?

Monday, March 25

Looking for a bold blush that will keep your cheeks looking plump all day long? Lucky for you, the Urban Decay Cosmetics Hydromaniac Dewy liquid blush ($22; $11) just went on sale, along with the PMD Personal Microderm Classic tool ($159; $80), which uses calibrated vacuum suction to minimize the appearance of blemishes and signs of aging. But don't just take our word for it. One reviewer raves, "I'm so happy with the results, even after one use...I noticed right away how much brighter my skin is—even my husband commented how my skin was glowing."

Looks like we just found our new favorite eyeshadow for spring in this Urban Decay Cosmetics Naked Your Way mini palette ($35; $17), and it's not just because it's under $20 RN. We're drooling over the super versatile hues and love that the palette is compact enough to fit in our purse (you know, in case we decide to hit happy hour after work). We must admit, we're just as stoked about the deal on the L'Occitane Almond shower oil ($29; $15). We recently tried some, and it definitely does make our skin feel softer, plus the sweet almond scent isn't too overpowering. Restock, here we come.

If there's anything you should buy on March 27, it's the Shiseido Benefiance Wrinkle Smoothing cream ($77; $38), which has more than 700 5-star reviews. Buyers say it makes their skin feel soft and smooth and just better overall, thanks to ingredients like yuzu seed extract and red algae. Want the same for your strands? Look no further than the L'ange Le Vite Straightening brush ($79; $40), a 2-in-1 heat tool which the brand claims "combines the power of a straightener with the simplicity of a hairbrush." We like the sound of that.

Ulta saved some of the best deals for last, so don't make the mistake of skipping the last day of the sale, especially if you've been dying to try the Too Faced Hangover Pillow lip balm ($26; $13), which supposedly plumps and moisturizes the lips like no other. The flavor and scent selection, from banana to mango, is just the watermelon on top (because, get it? There's a watermelon flavor, too!). Just don't forget to scoop up a bottle of the Fresh Rose Deep Hydration serum ($62; $31). Formulated with damask rose extract, squalane, rose water and more, the product is meant to hydrate, plump and nourish skin for your ultimate glow.

As we said, this sale has some of the best deals on all the buzzy beauty products you've been dying to try. Now that this is the last week you can snag 'em for half off, we'll leave you to it. Happy shopping!
