glossier. essentials. // cyber. monday. edition.

In case you somehow haven’t already heard that Glossier’s offering 20% off + free shipping on every order (or managed to overlook it due to a flooding inbox of Black Friday/Cyber Monday sales), it’s true. Glossier’s not kidding when they say it’s the Biggest. Sale. Of. The. Year. I’ve curated a list of products below you should definitely either snag for yourself or for a friend. Oh, and the sale ends Monday (11/28), so don’t delay!! 

1. Glossier Black Tie Set ($50): I may or may not have asked for Glossier’s limited edition Black Tie Set for Christmas. (Let it be known: If you happen to have a $10 store credit on file, you can combine that with the 20% off coupon for a steal.) The set consists of a Glossier pink nail polish (#obsessed), a black eyeliner, a Haloscope highlighter and a clear lip gloss. AND it comes all boxed and wrapped in a bow, which makes it the perfect gift for your BFF, sister — you name it.  

2. Glossier Sweatshirt ($60): Um, hello. What better way to show off your love for Glossier at the gym or when Netflixing and chilling? *Adds to cart without hesitation for an athleisure look.* 

3. Glossier Boy Brow ($16): So. Much. YAS. I just ordered boy brow and can’t wait to try it. ‘Cause who doesn’t want picture-perfect brows? 

4. Glossier Perfecting Skin Tint ($26): I haven’t tried the perfecting skin tint yet, but would love to in the near future. True to Glossier’s mission — “more skin, less makeup” — this skin-perfecting formula (available in a spectrum of shades) would be the perfect alternative to cakey foundations that don’t allow your skin to breathe.  

5. Glossier Milky Jelly Cleanser ($18): If I wasn’t already fully stocked in First Aid Beauty’s Face Cleanser, then I would jump at the chance to try out Glossier’s milk jelly cleanser. Starting and ending the day with a blank slate is crucial for healthy, blemish-free skin anyway, so this one’s really a no-brainer.  

6. Glossier Priming Moisturizer ($25): You can’t go wrong with a priming moisturizer, amirite? You’ll use it on a daily basis and it’ll essentially serve as a “glowing canvas” for all your other Glossier products. Plus, it’s lightweight enough to allow your skin to b-r-e-a-t-h-e. 

7. Glossier Flavored Balm Dotcom ($12): I’ve blogged about my love for Glossier’s mint balm dotcom in the past, but just to reiterate, this stuff works. It’s incredibly moisturizing and smells equally ah-mazing. With 20% off, now’s the perfect time to invest in a tube (or three). Currently available in rose, cherry, coconut and of course my personal fave, mint.

weekend. sales.

With summer sales in full swing, I thought I would share a few of my favorite finds. Walking through the mall this weekend, I was surprised to see so many stores already with 50-70 percent markdowns! Thankfully, summer is nowhere near over and you'll still be able to get plenty of wear out of whatever end-of-season finds you manage to snatch up. Take a peek below at what I found.

 

Melody Mini Dress (Free People) // ICYMI: Free People is offering an additional 50 percent off all sale items this weekend, which is ah-mazing. I'm not sure how long the sale's going on, but I ended up getting this gorgeous floral frock for under $30. I'm obsessed with the ultra-feminine floral print, the short sleeves and the effortless silhouette (perfect for those dog days of summer). The length was just right, too.

Printed Gia Mini Dress (American Apparel) // American Apparel is currently offering an additional 60 percent off all clearance items. That said, I immediately fell in love with this fun floral dress with retro appeal. I recommend going up a size if you want a more laid-back chic look! I plan on putting it away for late summer/early fall, so that I can pair it with ankle booties and maybe even riding boots once it gets really cold. I also purchased this easy-breezy ponte mini skirt in mustard melange. It's a basic that I know I'll get a lot of wear out of (think: everything from oversized sweaters to chambray shirts).

Cara Faux Leather Bow Headband (Nordstrom) // I've been eyeing (and proceeding to try on) this gorgeous faux leather bow headband for several months now. You can imagine my delight upon discovering that it was finally on sale. Although it's available in several different colors, I simply can't get enough of the cognac. It's classy, sophisticated and just right if you want to channel your inner Blair Waldorf. I know I do.

Gemma Glitter Flats (J.Crew) // I initially stumbled upon these sparkly #shinyponies in store last weekend, but they weren't my size. Determined to snag a pair of my dream ballet flats, I checked online and J.Crew thankfully still had them in stock. Let me tell ya — they're a major steal. Use the code SUMMER to get an additional 60 percent off the current sale price. Pssst: They come in at around $30 once you factor in shipping.

Have you stumbled upon any amazing summer steals lately? Feel free to share 'em with me below!
