I love luxury beauty items. I mean, who doesn’t? They have innovative formulas, luxe textures, and chic packaging that feels weighty in your hand. The only thing I don’t love is the price. As someone who does her best to stick to a budget (sometimes successfully and sometimes not so successfully), I know that designer makeup, skincare, and hair products aren’t something I can stock up on very often. I have to wait for the odd sale to strike.
Well, I’m in luck, because Bloomingdale’s is offering 15% off its entire beauty section through April 27. That means I have two days to snag the luxury beauty items I’ve been eyeing at a discount. Since I refuse to let this opportunity pass, I’ve already looked through the beauty section and added 14 nonnegotiables to my shopping cart. And since I don’t gatekeep, I’m sharing them here. Keep scrolling!
Armani Beauty
Luminous Silk Perfect Glow Flawless Oil-Free Foundation
Valentino
Lip Puffer Lip Gloss
I emitted a high-pitched screech when I saw this brand-new Valentino lip gloss on sale. It literally just launched, and it’s already a favorite of celebs like Charli XCX, so yeah, I’m buying three.
Givenchy
Prisme Libre Ultra Blurring & Color Correcting Pressed Powder
I can’t wait to get my hands on this Givenchy pressed powder. It has an ultra-blurring, matte-finish formula that smooths texture and disguises the appearance of pores. Plus, thanks to four color-correcting shades housed in one palette, it perfects the skin tone.
Prada
Pradalines Durable Gliding Waterproof Eye Pencil
Prada’s Pradalines Durable Gliding Waterproof Eye Pencil is so long-lasting that I almost never take it with me when I leave the house. I simply don’t need touch-ups. It also brings me joy just to look at. How chic can an eyeliner be? If it’s Prada we’re talking about, the answer is very.
Burberry
Burberry Goddess Eau De Parfum
This Burberry perfume is straight-up sexy with three types of vanilla notes (including vanilla infusion, vanilla caviar, and vanilla absolute) and a dash of lavender. It does, in fact, make me feel strong, feminine, and goddess-like.
DIOR
Backstage Rosy Glow Blush
This blush might look shockingly pink in the palette, but on the skin, it looks like a petal-soft flush of rose. In other words, it’s so pretty and very much worth the price (especially while it’s on sale).
Prada
Moisturizing Lip Balm
If you want a lip balm that’s just as chic as it is effective, then Prada’s Moisturizing Lip Balm is it. Infused with bifidus extract and jojoba oil, it smooths, moisturizes, and strengthens the lip barrier.
Parfums de Marly
Delina Limited Edition Eau De Parfum Spray
Parfums de Marly Delina is an internet icon. The sweet-floral fragrance, which contains notes of lychee, bergamot, Turkish rose, peony, and vanilla, is almost universally loved. Right now, you can get this stunning rose-blooming bottle for almost $60 off its original price. Act fast, though. I can’t imagine this will be in stock for long.
Armani
Eye Tint Long-Lasting Liquid Eyeshadow
Armani’s Eye Tints are foolproof. Seriously, swipe it on your eyelid, blend it out with a brush or your finger, and you’re good to go. You’ll have a gorgeous flush of shimmering color that lasts all day long.
Chloé
Atelier Des Fleurs Herba Mimosa Eau De Parfum
Another designer fragrance, this one is as fresh, sweet, and floral as the breeze sweeping through a blooming garden. It’s all thanks to a concentrated note of mimosa blossom, which smells light, slightly powdery, and traditionally feminine. It’s a perfume I could (and will) wear all summer long.
