Beauty Steals
If you have yet to try philosophy products, I feel pretty comfortable saying you’re missing out big time. Now’s your chance to try out a really great beauty brand, and save money, because for the next few hours, the entire site is 25% off. Use the code WEAREFAMILY at checkout and get a discount on everything.
This Amazon Beauty Sample Box will only set you back $12 (plus a $12 credit on select beauty items) and includes e.l.f. lipstick, facial wipes from Acure and simple, Neutrogena Hydro Boost Cleansing Gel, and more. Note, it’s exclusive to Prime members only.
Honestly, beauty sample boxes are the best way to try out new beauty buys, without spending way too much money on something you don’t know if you like.
Milk Makeup is the hip makeup brand that made waves when it first came out. Minimalism at its finest, there’s really nothing showy about it, except how well it works. Grab this kit from Urban Outfitters for just $15 and try it out if you don’t love them already. I own the lip color and highlighter and I’m a fan of both.
Hint: If the highlighter doesn’t work for your skin (it’s a bit too bronze for me most months), it works really well as a subtle eye color.
The Big Sales
It’s that time again. Nordstrom Rack has brought back their Clear the Rack sale and it’s full (and I mean FULL) of really incredible deals. Designer clothing, brands you’ve never heard of, everything an extra 25% off. Today’s the first day of the sale, so what are you waiting for?
Merrell may be most known for their quality hiking footwear, and you can get a piece of that for less. Right now, they’re running a Private Sale with 23 styles of footwear for men and women, just in time for the weather to start getting consistently nice.
In the span of my lifetime, I have owned a multitude of Vince Camuto shoes. First of all, they last. And second of all, they’re usually incredibly affordable for how comfortable they are. Plus, the clothing and bags ain’t too shabby either. Check out both at Nordstrom Rack and score new shoes or apparel (in Petite and Plus).
ThinkGeek is celebrating 30 years of Predator with a massive, up to 60% off sale. And while (oddly) there isn’t any Predator gear to pick up on sale, there are a ton of different kinds of geeky paraphernalia from all fandoms to choose from.
Shopbop consistently has those hard-to-find pieces that really make a wardrobe stand out. And with their Sale on Sale going on right now, you can get an extra 25% off sale styles with the code SCORE17. Brands like Marc Jacobs, rag & bone, Carven, and more are marked down.
If you’re planning on heading outside now that the weather is getting decent, Adidas wants to help outfit your fit with the right gear. Use the code FRIENDS30 and take 30% off practically everything for their Friends & Family sale. There are a couple exclusions, so make sure you’re paying attention at checkout.
I’m not exactly sure why this sale is called “In The Bag,” but I won’t complain about clothing for as low as $10. Both men’s and women’s styles at Urban Outfitters are marked down, with a whole landing page dedicated to help you sift through it all.
Home Goods
Cotton is one of the softest things you can sleep on, but it comes at a price. Amazon is thankfully helping you out there with their sale on 100% cotton, 1000 thread count sheets from EL&ES Bedding Collections. Grab a queen set for $71 or a king (and California king) for $79, with your choice from seven different colors. While you’re gonna want to sleep on these sheets, don’t sleep on this deal because it ends today.
Anova dominates the sales charts, but in many ways (raw heating power, looks, size, software quality), the Joule sous-vide circulator is actually the superior product, and Amazon’s running a rare $20 discount on it, for a limited time.
Promo code SOUSVIDETIME will take $20 off the original Joule White/Stainless Steel and the new Joule White. The White model is $20 cheaper to begin with, the only difference being the absence of steel accents; performance should be identical.
Amazon’s new Dash Wand has Alexa built right in, and lets you order groceries and other household goods just by scanning a barcode or using your voice. The best part though? It’s basically free.
The Dash Wand will set you back $20 upfront (not bad considering it’s a full-featured Alexa voice assistant), but once you register it, you’ll get a $20 credit in your Amazon account automatically. It’s basically the same value proposition behind Amazon’s $5 dash buttons, but the Wand seems infinitely more useful and flexible.
Plus, if you live in a city with Amazon Prime Fresh, buying the wand will get you a 90 day trial membership, so you can fully immerse yourself in Amazon’s lazy vision of the future.
Tech
Anker’s PowerCore line has long been our readers’ favorite brand of USB battery packs, and you can save a few bucks on the newest model, while supplies last.
The PowerCore II Slim appears to be the first PowerCore battery pack to include Anker’s new chipset, which delivers the fastest possible charging speeds to every USB device you own, including Quick Charge 3.0. That said, you’ll notice it’s not actually a Qualcomm-certified Quick Charge 3.0 product; it just replicates the tech on Anker’s own chip. That means less internal circuitry, and more room for battery, resulting in one of the thinnest 10,000mAh battery packs ever made.
