I Want to Maintain My Summer Glow All Year Long—Shopbop’s Epic Beauty Sale Just Made It Easy
By now, we’re all very aware that some kind of major sale occurs each and every day of the week. (And, if you’re like me, being constantly peppered with deals and steals has led to some major shopping fatigue.) Most of said sales aren’t anything to write home about. Sometimes the offerings are minuscule or clear, overly-stocked castoffs. And, other times, the savings are so pathetic that I find myself muttering ‘what’s the point?’, under my faintly ticked-off breath.
So, when I start perusing a sale and begin to hit “add to bag” with Sha’Carri Richardson-level speed, it’s a rare, albeit totally victorious feeling. And this week, it’s all thanks to Shopbop. From August 12 through August 18, the retailer is running a 20% off sale on select, highly-covetable offerings including brands like Augustinus Bader, Olaplex, Vacation, Supergoop!, Dr. Dennis Gross, and so, so many more. Simply use code BEAUTY20 at checkout, and you’re ready to go. Oh, and because I have no self control, please see all of my favorite picks and purchases, below.
Bask Suncare
Non-Aerosol Invisible Mist Sunscreen SPF 30
As someone who lives in a warm and sunny climate 365 days a year, SPF is an all-year-round nonnegotiable. Bask is the under-the-radar sunscreen brand that every beauty editor loves, but a lot of people (frustratingly) still haven’t heard of. This non-aerosol mist delivers a fine, ultra-even application, and the subtle vanilla-coconut scent is nostalgic, not nauseating.
Ceremonia
Guava Rescue Spray
This delicious 4-in-1 multitasker is a regular in my beach bag (it detangles and protects agains UV damage), but it’s also a great post-shower staple if you’re looking for heat protection and glimmery, super-healthy hair.
Dr. Barbara Sturm
Lip Balm
$55 is a lot to spend on a lip balm, even if it’s an icon! You can bet I’m re-stocking while I can get it 20% off.
LAWLESS
Forget the Filler Lip Plumper Line-Smoothing Gloss
This is the lip gloss that turned me into a lip gloss person. You will not find a gloss that delivers better shine, prettier color (if you want to go the tinted route), or superior, your-lips-but-better, plumpness.
Tammy Fender
Bulgarian Rose Water
I’ve tried a lot of face mists in my day, but this one from Tammy Fender is, by far, the most luxurious. So, yes, if your budget has the bandwidth, it is worth the splurge!
Augustinus Bader
Starter Kit With Rich Cream
Glowing, dewy skin during fall and winter may seem like an oxymoron, but if you’ve tried the liquid gold that is Augustinus Bader’s The Rich Cream, you know it’s possible! While the sale is on, why not test a few additional best-sellers?!
Vacation Sunscreen
Instant Vacation Browning Lotion
I have very fair skin but always feel more self-confident when I have a little bit of a glow. This Instant Vacation Browning Lotion is such a throwback to my tween years of baking (very unsafely) on the back deck with friends, sans the sun damage. It has a tiny dose of self-tanning action so you get instant and long-lasting color (love that!) plus a protective dose of SPF 30.
Vacation Sunscreen
Chardonnay Oil Spf 30
Not into tinted or self-tanning SPF formulas? Try the gleam-inducing sunscreen oil Who What Wear editors absolutely fawn over.
Goldfaden MD
Doctors Scrub – Ruby Crystal Microderm
Infused with ruby crystals and lots of other yummy ingredients, this cult-loved exfoliating facial scrub will give you baby-smooth skin in minutes.
The Outset
Purifying Blue Clay Mask
I absolutely love a blue-tinted clay mask. (There’s just something so early 2000s romcom about it!) But, this formula from The Outset isn’t just fun to apply—it reduces shine without drying out your skin (a miracle!) and vacuums out your pores making them look practically invisible.
111SKIN
Rose Gold Illuminating Eye Mask Box
If you want brighter, tighter, practically shimmering under-eyes, these celeb and editor-endorsed eye patches are the absolute secret sauce.
Supergoop!
Glowscreen SPF 40
Who doesn’t love a sunscreen that protects your precious complexion from sun damage, gives you a radiant, golden hour-inspired glow, and provides a smooth, completely flawless base for makeup?!
Costa Brazil
Lua Moonlight Body Oil
There are body oils, and then there are Costa Brazil body oils. If you’re familiar with the brand, then you already know what I’m talking about. But, if you’re not, you’re in for a treat. Lua’s slightly shimmering finish and nutrient-rich ingredients (watch your skin look firmer and healthier right before your eyes!) will be your next addiction.
OUAI
Rose Hair and Body Oil
One part body oil, one part hair oil, one part perfume (it smells like the Ouai’s beloved rose fragrance, Melrose Place!) means you’re basically getting three different products in one, very on-sale bottle. I’m grabbing multiple!
BeautyStat Cosmetics
Triple Action One-Step Daily Exfoliating Peel Pad
I freaking love a good peel pad. I also love waking up to smoother, brighter, all around healthier-looking skin. These handy peel pads are some of the best I’ve tried.
Jenny Patinkin
Pure Luxury Skin Smoothing Trio
Once you’ve had your face professionally dermaplaned, you will never, ever go back. Now that I’m obsessed with how much better my skincare products penetrate and how much better my makeup looks and applies, I’ve *carefully* trained myself how to dermaplane at home. High-quality tools, like these stainless steel razors from Jenny Patinkin, are a must.
Dr. Dennis Gross
Alpha Beta Glow Pad
I already told you I love a good peel pad, so is it any surprise I’m a fan of a peel pad that also gives me a little bit of glowing, sun-kissed color? These are especially brilliant when you’re traveling.
RŌZ
Willow Glen Treatment Oil
I adore everything from celebrity hairstylist Mara Roszak’s line, Rōz, but this treatment oil has truly transformed the lengths of my hair. If you know me, you know that I absolutely love a fabulous pre-shampoo hair treatment, and this yummy melding of botanical oils leaves my hair so much softer and shinier post-wash.
Agent Nateur
Holi (mane) Hair, Skin, Nails
Biotin makes me break out like crazy (yes, it’s a thing), and since practically every hair-and-skin supplement contains gobs of it, I haven’t been able to use most of the products on the market. So I’ve had to look at other types of formulas out there. I’m a big fan of high-quality collagen, but this one from Agent Nateur is, in my opinion, truly the only one worth the money. It’s a collaboration with renowned functional medicine expert Will Cole, IFMCP, DNM, DC, and features marine collagen and pearl powder as its two hero ingredients.
TOILETPAPER Beauty
A Tube to Carry With You Hand Cream
A girl can never have too many hand creams, and while I’m sure the formula and sweet almond scent are divine, I’m buying this one for the packaging, alone.
OLAPLEX
No. 9 Bond Protector Nourishing Serum
No other hair serum has given my damaged strands the shine and utter resiliency as this holy-grail formula from Olaplex. It’s the perfect antidote for post-summer hair chaos.
RMS Beauty
Buriti Bronzer
Add this creamy, twinkly bronzer from RMS along the high points of your face and chest, and thank me later.
Peter Thomas Roth
Firmx Face & Eye Power Pair 2-Piece Kit
Not a lot of products live up to their hype and TikTok buzz, but this insanely firming face primer and eye treatment truly walk the walk. If you’re on the market for a tighter, brighter complexion, you’re looking at the $39 answer—no botox or office appointments required.
RéVive
Masque De Brilliance Resurfacing Multi-Acid Mask
I was so obsessed with how good this resurfacing mask made my stressed-out skin look that I wrote an entire article about it. Trust me—it’s the next best thing to getting a professional facial or peel.
I’m not really an eye shadow person, but I do love a blink of light-catching shimmer every so often. No one makes it look chicer than Róen’s Disco Eye.
