Get excited because we’re so close to saying goodbye to 2021. Although the year has definitely brought hardships and pain points a-plenty, due to the ongoing pandemic, one small indulgence we haven’t stopped partaking in is treating ourselves to some new beauty products — especially when they’re on sale. As you may know, Black Friday and Cyber Monday were epic, but the deals don’t dry up simply because the holidays are over.
Some of the best discounts on your favorite beauty products come after Christmas. Here, we listed out the best brands — like Dermstore, Colourpop, Overtone, and more — that will be discounting some of their most popular products after you take your tree and decorations down. We have options in every category (skin, makeup, and hair) and made it so easy for you to shop to your heart’s content with this handy, organized list. Take a scroll through, and whether you are shopping for yourself or a belated gift for a loved one, we’ve got you (and your wallet) covered.
