20 On-Sale Beauty Finds I'm Using to Conquer Dry Winter Skin
It's time to add some hydration to your routine.
Now that we've entered the peak winter season, my beauty routine is due for an update. My typical lightweight moisturizers will not cut it for the chilly months ahead. My hair needs extra love, too, as the cold air and wind leave me with dry, frizzy ends. I'm also taking stock of the year's upcoming makeup trends—is statement-making blush still on the menu for 2025, or should I rein it in? However, I'm not one for blowing my monthly budget in one shopping spree, so I'm looking for a few fresh winter beauty finds on sale.
Thankfully, there are so many worthwhile ones to shop. For instance, you can score a set of five Bobbi Brown eyeshadow sticks (one of Marie Claire's top-ranked formulas!) for just $57, when they typically go for $34 apiece. Then there's Bloomingdale's $75 sample kit, which is filled with goodies from Augustinus Bader, La Mer, Charlotte Tilbury, and so many more. I also found plenty of discounted body lotions, hand creams, and body washes to add some hydration to my post-shower routine.
That's just the tip of the iceberg. Keep scrolling to shop the rest of my favorite on-sale skincare, haircare, and makeup picks from brands like Sunday Riley, L'Occitane, Bumble and Bumble, NARS, and more.
Bobbi Brown's eyeshadow sticks are one of my all-time favorites because they are so easy to use. The formula is creamy, long-wearing, pigmented, and non-creasing. This set contains five (!!!) full-size sticks in a mix of finishes and a mini mascara, so you can create a range of day-to-night looks. Save even more with one of our Nordstrom Rack promo codes.
It's not every day you can save big on Sunday, Riley. This set includes everything you need to wake up glowing, including a creamy cleanser, a resurfacing toner, and the brand's best-selling lactic acid treatment. Its Good Genes serum is a personal hero product of mine—I apply it at night and wake up to noticeably smoother-looking skin. Save even more with one of our QVC promo codes.
I don't know about you, but I'm incredibly lazy when it comes to applying body lotion, even though I know it's important. This in-shower cream allows you to skip that step thanks to its ultra-moisturizing formula, and you'll love its deliciously warm vanilla scent. Save even more with one of our L'Occitane promo codes.
A snatched jawline and cheekbones can be yours with the help of this small, mighty microcurrent device. With consistent use, this little gadget tones your facial muscles for a more lifted, sculpted appearance so that you can say goodbye to sagging skin, fine lines, and wrinkles. Save even more with one of our Dermstore promo codes.
Give your locks some extra TLC with this hair oil, which works to reverse damage caused by heat, chemical, and physical styling while healing split ends and reducing frizz. If that wasn't enough, it also acts as a heat protector. Save even more with one of our Beauty Brands promo codes.
The value of this set is well worth the $75 price tag. For starters, you get a full-size Augustinus Bader lip balm, which runs for $46 on its own. You also get a few of my favorite sheet masks from 111SKIN and SK-II, and minis from La Mer, Clé de Peau, Sulwhasoo, Charlotte Tilbury, and so many more. Save even more with one of our Bloomingdale's promo codes.
We ranked Armani's liquid eyeshadow number one for its ultra-pigmented, long-wearing, crease-proof formula. This kit includes two shades—a bronze and a rose gold—plus a full-size volumizing mascara to top it off. Save even more with one of our Nordstrom promo codes.
Now that it's dry and miserably cold outside, I have to carry a hand cream with me everywhere I go. With its fresh scent and thick, non-sticky formula, I'm considering adding this Clarins find into my rotation. It also works to soften cuticles, strengthen nails, and reduce the look of aging hands over time. Save even more with one of our Allbeauty promo codes.

Don't sleep on ASOS for beauty products. The retailer carries some surprisingly great beauty hits, like this set from Elemis. It contains my all-time favorite exfoliating pads, which have been a godsend for my skin this season. They're gentle enough not to cause any irritation and have worked wonders at sloughing texture and dry patches away. The added cleanser is a huge bonus.
