24 Things on Sale You’ll Actually Want to Buy: From Brooklinen to Sandy Liang

There have been a lot of clothing sales this week, so I’m giving you a bit of a reprieve today — with just one bra, two sun hats, and three pairs of shoes in today’s roundup. The rest of my finds mostly fall into two categories: personal-care staples and summer essentials. Plenty of high-quality budget-friendly skin-care — like CeraVe face wash and Mrs. Meyers hand soap — is on sale at Amazon. I also found deeply discounted beach towels, our favorite camping chair, and La Roche-Posay sunscreen. And as always, make sure to sign up for our email newsletter for even more sales coverage — including extra deals each Friday hand-selected by yours truly.

Sephora’s Savings Event starts today for Rouge members, who get 20 percent off sitewide with the code YAYSAVE. (VIBs and Insiders will have to wait until next week to use their discount.) But if you’re lacking in an account or in status, the entirety of Sephora’s in-house line is 30 percent off with the same code — I’m eyeing this Strategist-approved concealer.

This waterproof retractable eyeliner is available in 17 colors in shimmer, matte, and glitter finishes.

Surprisingly, I found this nice-looking T-shirt bra from Victoria’s Secret for 40 percent off at Amazon. It comes in more than ten colors — though I did notice a few patterned options are just $23 (but don’t have as much size availability).

So you can be sure your seasonal cold isn’t COVID.

CeraVe Renewing SA Cleanser
$12
$12

CeraVe’s salicylic-acid cleanser is a longtime favorite at the Strategist and among dermatologists. Suitable for daily use, it offers gentle exfoliation without stripping or drying out your skin.

Vichy’s hyaluronic-acid serum is like a “cool glass of water for the skin,” according to one dermatologist we spoke to about the best moisturizers for oily skin.

Ayo Edebiri’s soothing sunscreen (that won’t leave a white cast) is $7 off at Amazon and Ulta.

I spotted this variety pack of our best toothpaste for kids, which comes with three fun flavors: blue raspberry, strawberry, and bubble gum.

Trios of Mrs. Meyer’s beloved hand soap are 20 percent off when you apply the on-site coupon. To go with the April showers we’ve been having, here’s Rain Water (which happens to be jeweler Ben Baller’s favorite scent from the line).

And the dish soap is also on sale in a few limited-edition scents: Apple Cider, Iowa Pine, and Rose.

For messes on rugs, upholstery, car mats, and other fabrics, Bissell’s powerful suction-and-scrubbing carpet cleaner is $40 off.

$314

If you’re a pet owner or have seasonal allergies, this air-filtering Shark vacuum is a smart buy.

Krups Precision Grinder

Our best less-expensive coffee grinder is even cheaper today. The Krups — which has 12 grind settings — gives writer Jeremy Rellosa “the ease of an electric machine and the consistency of a burr blade.”

Zojirushi’s rice cookers are the best (and rarely go on sale outside of big sales events). This model features six settings for different types of rice and has a three-cup capacity, which is ideal for one- or two-person households.

This set of very adorable tools for whipping up some delectable sand pastries, cakes, and pies is just $15.

Our No. 1 camping chair — that is also perfect for the beach — features handy side pockets and an insulated cooler attached to the left armrest. It comes in four colors: black, blue, gray, and red. (The red version is only $25 if you go to Coleman’s site and use the code SPRING at checkout.)

You’ll need a sun hat to go on your beach excursions, and this cotton canvas one from J.Crew comes in four colors.

I am charmed by this denim version, too.

Perfect towels for lounging poolside are on sale over at Brooklinen.

These swirly-patterned bath towels are just $11 apiece, but you could totally bring them to the beach, too.

Now, some nice and not-too-high heels — starting with this strappy pair from Nordstrom.

From $80

This patent pair comes in both classic black and cherry red.

Sandy Liang never has sales, so scurry on over here to take 30 percent off a selection of delightful frocks, dangly earrings, ballet shoes, and more with the code SUSUWATARI. But don’t dillydally because the sale ends on Monday at noon Eastern.

The Strategist is designed to surface the most useful, expert recommendations for things to buy across the vast e-commerce landscape. Some of our latest conquests include the best acne treatments, rolling luggage, pillows for side sleepers, natural anxiety remedies, and bath towels. We update links when possible, but note that deals can expire and all prices are subject to change.
