20 On-Sale Beauty Finds I'm Using to Conquer Dry Winter Skin
It's time to add some hydration to your routine.
Now that we've entered the peak winter season, my beauty routine is due for an update. My typical lightweight moisturizers will not cut it for the chilly months ahead. My hair needs extra love, too, as the cold air and wind leave me with dry, frizzy ends. I'm also taking stock of the year's upcoming makeup trends—is statement-making blush still on the menu for 2025, or should I rein it in? However, I'm not one for blowing my monthly budget in one shopping spree, so I'm looking for a few fresh winter beauty finds on sale.
Thankfully, there are so many worthwhile ones to shop. For instance, you can score a set of five Bobbi Brown eyeshadow sticks (one of Marie Claire's top-ranked formulas!) for just $57, when they typically go for $34 apiece. Then there's Bloomingdale's $75 sample kit, which is filled with goodies from Augustinus Bader, La Mer, Charlotte Tilbury, and so many more. I also found plenty of discounted body lotions, hand creams, and body washes to add some hydration to my post-shower routine.
That's just the tip of the iceberg. Keep scrolling to shop the rest of my favorite on-sale skincare, haircare, and makeup picks from brands like Sunday Riley, L'Occitane, Bumble and Bumble, NARS, and more.
Bobbi Brown's eyeshadow sticks are one of my all-time favorites because they are so easy to use. The formula is creamy, long-wearing, pigmented, and non-creasing. This set contains five (!!!) full-size sticks in a mix of finishes and a mini mascara, so you can create a range of day-to-night looks. Save even more with one of our Nordstrom Rack promo codes.
