In this bi-weekly column, Forbes Vetted deals and coupons writer Bianca Alvarez combines her deal hunting expertise with her affinity for all things beauty to bring you the weekend’s best beauty deals on products our editorial team members swear by.

When I love a beauty product, I’m willing to repurchase it at full price. But given that it’s my job to look for deals all day, I do my best to stock up on my favorites whenever there’s a sale. Lucky for me (and you), beauty sales are everywhere right now, with discounts as big as 50% off. And they include some deals on products I’ve recently tested that have taken up permanent residence on my vanity, including theDr. Jart+ Ceramidin Skin Barrier Moisturizing Cream and T3’s Airebrush Round.

I rounded up the best beauty deals available this weekend—including markdowns on eight of my favorite products.

This Weekend’s Best Beauty Deals

An Extremely Moisturizing Lotion Suitable For All Skin Types

Kiehl’s Ultra Body Mega Moisture Squalane Cream Duo

If I were stranded on a desert island, this lotion is the one product I’d want with me. The formula feels rich and creamy yet absorbs quickly, leaving my skin more hydrated than ever. With sensitive skin, I also appreciate that it doesn’t trigger my eczema—instead, it calms the tightness and discomfort of dryness.

A Multipurpose Serum That Targets Various Skin Concerns

Clarins Double Serum

Three generations of women in my family swear by this serum. We each use it for different reasons, but it delivers on all of them: I reach for it to strengthen my moisture barrier and refine tone and texture, while my mom and grandma rely on it to brighten dullness and soften fine lines. Consistency has been key—we’ve seen real results only after using it faithfully for months.

A Lightweight And Non-Comedogenic Facial Moisturizer

Ulta Beauty

Avène Hydrance Light Emulsion

If you have oily or acne-prone skin—or simply prefer a lightweight moisturizer—this is one of my top picks. I reach for it most in the summer or before a workout because it hydrates without ever feeling heavy, even in sweaty conditions. The non-comedogenic formula (meaning it won’t clog pores) also calms irritation and keeps skin balanced.

A Hair Rinse That Exfoliates And Removes Scalp Build-Up

BondiBoost Clarifying Scalp & Hair Rinse

I’ve tried a handful of clarifying shampoos and treatments, but this is one stands out. It’s easy to apply, delivers results and never leaves my strands and scalp feeling dry or stripped. Powered by apple cider vinegar, lactic acid and peppermint, the aloe-based rinse soothes and exfoliates while clearing away product buildup, sebum and residue. Using it couldn’t be simpler: I apply it all over my scalp, massage it in for 15 seconds and rinse.

This Pigmented, Long-Lasting Blush Is On Sale In Four Colors

Charlotte Tilbury

Charlotte Tilbury Pillow Talk Matte Beauty Blush Wand

This incredibly pigmented liquid blush is truly a one-dot wonder—a little goes a long way. Despite its matte finish, it leaves a radiant—not unnecessarily shiny—flushed look on my cheeks. To get 15% off these wands (and other Charlotte Tilbury products) plus free shipping, simply sign up for an account on the brand’s site and use code DARLING15 at checkout.

A Trio Of Fall-Inspired Travel Perfumes

Bloomingdale’s

Maison Margiela Replica Travel Perfume Trio

With fall here, it feels fitting to trade summer perfumes for scents that capture the season. This set includes three of Maison Margiela’s most-loved fragrances—Jazz Club, By the Fireplace and Autumn Vibes. I keep full-size bottles of each on my vanity, and what I love most is their balance: warm, spicy and comforting, yet never overwhelming or overtly sweet.

A Moisturizer That Helps Strengthen The Skin Barrier

Dr.Jart+ Ceramidin Skin Barrier Moisturizing Cream

After testing nearly a dozen barrier creams, this one quickly earned a spot in my top five. It calms my skin on contact and has a plush, cushioned texture that feels soft while creating a smooth, non-pilling base—perfect under makeup. The only downside is the high price tag, so I’ll be restocking while it’s on sale.

A 2-In-1 Styling Tool That Creates Salon-Like Blowouts At Home

T3 Airebrush Round

I haven’t mastered a salon-quality blowout at home, but this tool is the next best thing—and it saves both time and money. On slightly damp hair, I use the T3 Airebrush to dry and style with minimal effort. To achieve a smooth blowout, I pick from one of its three heat settings and two speed settings and begin passing it through my hair, mimicing the techniques I’ve seen stylists use. After a few minutes, I have a completed bouncy look.
