There are beauty things we'll pick up every time we go to the store — shampoo and conditioner, mascara, lip balm — and then there are big beauty purchases that we file away on our Sephora or Nordstrom wish list and reserve for major sales.
We're all for treating yourself to the major beauty item that you've been eyeing all year, but we also know that realistically, it's not always possible given the hefty price tag attached. Splurge-worthy things like hair tools, fancy face creams, designer makeup, and skin-care devices are worth every penny, but that doesn't mean you should pay full price for them — not with big annual sale events like Black Friday and Cyber Monday on the horizon.
Whether you've been wanting a Dyson Corrale since the day it launched or your best friend can't stop talking about the insane results they've gotten from the NuFace Toning Device, sales are the perfect time to act on the big-ticket wish-list items you've been dreaming of.
As you start to make your shopping list for the upcoming holiday events, we're sharing the best beauty items to buy on sale ahead.
