Beauty Steals
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.
MAC Cosmetics make some of your favorite red lipstick. And while Ruby Woo isn’t included in this Nordstrom Rack sale, you can grab your choice of 11 Velvetease Lip Pencil shades or 10 Huggable Lipcolour shades for $11 each. Or, pick up a 3-pack for $26.
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?
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.
Whether you wear TOMS for the ease of never having to tie your shoes or just dig the style, this is one deal you should take advantage of. They’re having their Surprise Sale, with up to 75% off select styles. Plus, they’ve come a long way from just simple, canvas slip-ons. Now you have a real reason to throw out your old, gross ones.
Anthropologie will always be a good destination to start looking for something unique. With an extra 25% off sale styles, no code needed, that uniqueness is that much more affordable. Just add your new stuff to the cart and you’ll see the discount when you checkout.
H&M’s fast-fashion is even faster and cheaper, with their huge sale going on right now. Get up to 60% off women’s, men’s, kids, and home goods, starting at just $5. It’s silly not to at least take a look.
Because H&M does tend to be on the buy now, throw out later track of fashion, look for the premium pieces, rather than the lower end ones. Go against your entire nature and change the drop down to show Price: Highest to Lowest. Trust me on this on. Basically everything is going to be under $100 anyway, but you’ll score suede or leather pieces at ungodly low prices.
Home Goods
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.
Board games are more fun when Nintendo’s involved. Today at GameStop, save 20% on Super Mario Bros. Monopoly and Legend of Zelda Chess, plus free shipping with promo code SAVER. Those should help keep you busy until Super Mario Odyssey comes out.
Tech
Anker makes basically all of your favorite charging gear, and a bunch of it is on sale in today’s Amazon Gold Box.
If you read Kinja Deals, you know that Anker runs its fair share of sales. But these discounts are uncommonly good, befitting their Gold Box status. For starters, you can pick up a pair of Quick Charge 3.0 chargers: One for your car, and one for the wall.
If you don’t need Quick Charge capabilities, the PowerPort 4 is a fantastic travel charger, stuffing four high-speed ports into a device that plugs directly into the wall.
And since you can never have enough charging cables, grab some kevlar-reinforced Anker PowerLine Lightning and microUSB cables.
Just remember that like all Gold Box deals, these prices are only available today, or until sold out.
Bonus: While there aren’t any battery packs in the Gold Box, you can save 15% on the just-released PowerCore II 10000 with promo code SLIMQUIK. This battery uses a proprietary Anker chipset to deliver the fastest possible charge to all devices from a single port, including Quick Charge 3.0-compatible phones.
