We’ve done a lot of deep diving into skin care, makeup, and hair care, and many of our top picks in these categories can be found at Sephora — occasionally even on sale. To help you find the best deals at the retailer, we’ve rounded up everything we’ve written about that’s currently on sale. This includes some of our favorite moisturizers and scrubs, a veritable dupe for Dior’s Lip Glow Oil, and plenty of products to help you achieve a year-round summer glow. It’s a particularly good moment to take a chance on a product you’ve been eyeing, as lots of Strategist-approved minis are on sale.

We’re big fans of Scandinavian skin-care brand Ole Henriksen, so I was pleased to find one of our favorite lotions for dry skin at a noticeably low price.

A companion to the much-beloved Banana Bright Eye Cream, this face primer gives skin a dewy, healthy-looking glow.

Speaking of minis — I also found this trio of nourishing body creams from Fenty.
