Shopping the best Labor Day beauty sales is our favorite way to say goodbye to summer and prepare our vanities for all things fall. And even though it’s a bummer to bid farewell to warm weather, we can’t help but get excited about an autumn-y thing or two, namely flannels, PSLs, and all of the beauty deals we’ve been blessed with during the three-day weekend.
Our Top Picks
Kicking back on the couch and getting in some quality R&R should be a high priority for the holiday, so don’t sweat the sale stuff. We’ve got your back (and your wallet) with a roundup of some of the best LDW beauty deals worth shopping. Let’s go!
You don’t have to wait until LDW to save big on luxury beauty deals—Amazon is already lined up with cart-worthy discounts. Parfum de Marly’s Delina, a TikTok-viral fragrance even Snoop Dogg swears by, is seeing a sale at the mega-retailer, a rare occurrence for the popular (and expensive) fragrance brand. You can also score an easy-peasy GHD Glide to get your hair straight stat.
In case you forgot, there’s more to a good glam routine than face and body care. Yes, babe, oral hygiene is critical. Improve your dental game with Oral-B’s iO Series 9 Electric Toothbrush and Deep Clean Electric Toothbrush for healthier teeth and gums—your dentist will be so proud.
Nordstrom’s Anniversary Sale may be over, but the beauty savings continue their reign. Bridge the gap between summer and fall with the sweet, subtle Estée Lauder Beautiful Magnolia Intense Eau de Parfum, featuring notes of magnolia petals, maté, and water lotus. A couple of spritzes of this fragrance, plus a finishing touch on your face with Laura Mercier’s Translucent Loose Setting Powder, is the perfect start to any day.
Want a fabulous Nordy deal any time you feel like shopping? Head over to the retailer’s sister outlet store, Nordstrom Rack, which is stocked with fresh beauty deals daily. The servings du jour: luxury fragrances from Yves Saint Laurent and Marc Jacobs at a fraction of their original prices.
You probably think of Best Buy as “that store with all the TVs where I’m about to spend 5 hours choosing a refrigerator,” but we implore you to think again. The retailer has some sweet Labor Day sales on beauty and wellness favorites, like the Shark Smoothstyle blow dryer brush and this hard-working but very sleek Philips One by Sonicare Rechargeable Toothbrush.
Bluemercury is offering 15% off orders of $150 or more, so you know we’ll be shopping the retailer’s marked-down Last Chance section to score discounts on discounts. Just a quick scan-through reveals rare discounts on Ellis Brooklyn and Aromatherapy Associates.
There’s no cream quite like La Mer’s Crème de La Mer, and there’s also no price tag quite like it. That’s why when we see a jar of this stuff on sale, we’re capital-P pouncing. The gently exfoliating Tata Harper Regenerating Cleanser is worth the price—full or on-sale—if your skin is congested in the least.
Dermstore’s sale section is our shopping safe space, and you can probably see why. The retailer is always rife with deals on some of the buzziest names on the market. Save on luxury beauty brands like Therabody and PMD for an upgraded self-care routine.
Revolve might be your favorite spot for the trendiest clothes, but the retailer has an amazing beauty selection. Check out the final sale section to find the biggest names in wellness and beauty, like Chillhouse and Benefit, at major markdowns.
HigherDose serves up the kind of splurgy, self-care tech we’re never not wanting. Lucky for us, the innovative brand’s Labor Day sale is making room in our budgets. Score 20% off goodies like the Infrared Sauna Blanket, which promises the benefits of a healthy sweat from the comfort of your home, which decidedly does not have a sauna. The Red Light Face Mask is also a worthy candidate for your cart. Just make sure to enter the code LDW20 at checkout.
Kosas is at the top of its game right now, and we’re here for it. We’re also here for the brand’s Labor Day sale, which puts some of our favorite products at up to 50% off (cue the glossy-lipped gasp). The Build Your Own Wet Lip Trio allows you to bundle three of the brand’s hyaluronic acid-packed glosses and the 24/7 Brows + Lashes Set features a PM, nourishing brow and lash serum and a clear, everyday brow gel.
Science meets skin care meets savings at Dr. Brandt’s Labor Day sale. And the proof is in the serums. A bottle of Vitamin C loaded C Scription helps soften fine lines, and brighten skin tone, while the lightweight gel Dark Spots No More boasts similar benefits, with particular attention given to hyperpigmentation on your face. All this to excitedly say the brand is offering 40% off on the Bright This Way Collection with the code BRIGHT40.
Want the scoop? Goop is blessing us with 25% off some of the site’s best sellers (use code SUMMERBEAUTY at checkout). Yum. We’ll be springing for (and saving on) the All-in-One Super Nutrient Face Oil and GoopGlow’s 20% Vitamin C + Hyaluronic Acid Glow Serum for a dewier-than-dewy complexion.
Ulta celebrates Labor Day with its highly-anticipated 21 Days of Beauty Sale, and this year, it’s stocked with some all-time favorites of ours. Exhibit A: Olaplex’s beloved No.3 Hair Perfector. It’s no coincidence that it makes a stunning buddy for the also-on-sale BaByliss Nano Titanium Digital Straightening Iron. Heat-protected, smooth-as-heck hair? Down.
Sephora usually has a curation of Labor Day Weekend sales, so while we graciously wait for the beauty retailer to spill its savings info, you can find us looking through all the Allure Best of Beauty Award-winning products you can shop at a discount in its sale section. Plain and simple—Shark knows how to make a hot tool, and the SpeedStyle RapidGloss is deeply discounted right now. While you’re ramping up your beauty tech, reach for the Foreo Luna Mini 3, a Best of Beauty-winning sonic cleansing brush that goes super easy on sensitive skin.
Don’t mind us—we’ll just be here heel-kicking over Murad’s sales. Every piece of the brand’s nourishing, thoughtfully formulated skin care is tempting, but discounted picks have a special place in our hearts. And if you’re starting your retinol journey, grab the Retinol Overnight Essentials 90-Day Kit and get set with all the line-softening essentials. Acne woes? The Outsmart Acne Clarifying Treatment might do the trick.
If it’s viral, Ban.do probably has it. And what better way to start fall than with a couple of super cute accessories? We love this whimsical Lemon Hair Claw and these Cranberry Hair Bows. Fun, on-trend, and affordable. Got it? Got it.
There’s farm-to-table, and then there’s Farmacy-to-cart—and we kind of like the second one better. This Labor Day, you can score 20% off brand faves like the Green Clean Cleansing Balm and the Honey Halo Moisturizer, both botanic-based and fragrance-free (we’re looking at you, sensitive-skin girlies).
Ole Henriksen is showing our skin serious love with 40% off select items over LDW. First and second orders of business are springing for the splurgey-turned-savey Strength Trainer Peptide Boost Moisturizer, followed by the Readers’ Choice Award-winning Banana Bright+ Eye Crème. The former hydrates and boosts elasticity, while the latter nips dark circles in the bud.
Shopping Olay’s Labor Day sale is the grown-up version of the joy of storming Staples for new binders and notebooks. This year, we’re crossing a couple of must-haves off our list, like the Vitamin C + Peptide 24 Eye Cream, which imparts a serious dose of peptides, niacinamide, and vitamin C (duh). The Retinol 24 + Peptide Night Face Moisturizer is a great pick if you’re looking for a p.m. partner.
