As a deals writer, I sift through hundreds of discounts every day, and my favorites are always the beauty sales (the price drops are often very impressive). Each week, I find the best beauty products on sale, exclusively for Beauty Brief newsletter subscribers. Everything I surface here is something we stand behind — either we have written about it before, or it’s from a brand we trust. Here are my top picks of the week. To make sure you never miss a good beauty sale, sign up for the Beauty Brief newsletter.

This no-color nail strengthener, which Lisa Vanderpump says makes her DIY manicures look like she just stepped out of a salon, is 24 percent off at Nordstrom Rack (along with eight other shades). She says it takes a bit of time, but she promises it delivers strong, healthy nail beds.

We always give a shoutout to Chi’s hair-smoothing flat iron when it’s on sale because it’s an effective, affordable tool. The slim ceramic plates heat up to 392 degrees within minutes and create bouncy curls with ease.

A nice deal on one of Gucci’s most recognizable scents. As an eau de toilette (not parfum), it’s a much lighter fragrance and great for everyday wear.

I found a handful of rarely on sale products from Neutrogena’s best-selling Hydro Boost line on Amazon and at Ulta’s Big Summer Beauty Sale. First up, our best moisturizer overall is 30 percent off. Its water-gel formula has hydrating hyaluronic acid and is great for summer skin-care routines.

Another Best in Class pick on sale, this Hydro Boost body lotion is also lightweight and deeply moisturizing — plus, its fragrance-free formula is popular among celebrity aestheticians (there’s far less risk of allergic reactions or general irritation).

I also spotted CosRx’s famous hydrating snail goo — it’s mentioned by almost every dermatologist we talked to about snail-mucin skin care — in Ulta’s sale section for 25 percent off.

I can’t stop finding Olaplex deals week after week this year. (Maybe there has never been a better time to have dry, damaged hair?) Today, a jumbo 17.75-fl. oz. size of one of our best shampoos for color-treated hair, the No. 4 Bond Maintenance Shampoo, is 20 percent off.

If your color-treated hair is already nice and healthy, grab this Redken shampoo to keep it vibrant and pigmented for longer. Hairstylist Tara Sullivan says this formula “removes impurities that darken or dull your color,” and it has a nice floral scent, too.

For our folks with fine hair, Ceremonia has products up to 50 percent off for its limited-time summer sale, including one of our favorite lightweight conditioners. Rogerio Cavalcante, stylist and owner of the Second Floor Salon, says its formula — featuring keratin, cupuaçu butter, and castor-oil ingredients — “adds body while keeping the hair light and fresh.”
