Violet Grey BF Sale 2022 The Rich Cream

1. Augustinus Bader The Rich Cream

We gravitate to Augustinus Bader's The Rich Cream like a moth does to a flame. Seriously, it makes our skin feel as smooth as glass. Buyers have also noticed the reduced appearance of dark spots and a firmer, smoother texture after using it, thanks to its amino acids, high-grade vitamins and synthesized molecule-packed formula. And we can't stress enough how infrequently this stuff goes on sale, so if there's any product you want to buy during the sale, you're looking at it.

Violet Grey BF Sale 2022 La Mer Eye Cream

2. La Mer The Eye Concentrate

La Mer is another brand that only goes on sale a few times a year at best, which is why we highly suggest adding its best-selling eye cream to your cart. Each batch containing ingredients like algae seaweed extract, eucalyptus globulus leaf oil and more takes three months to ferment for optimal results from improving hyperpigmentation to awakening tired eyes.

3. Dr. Barbara Sturm Super Anti-Aging Face Cream

The results should also kick in pretty quickly, but you'll just have to see for yourself.

Violet Grey BF Sale 2022 RCo Bleu

4. R+co Bleu Essential Hair Tonic

The purpose of this hair tonic is to add flexibility and shine to strands while providing a slight hold for any style, thanks to its BLEU molecule complex, vegetable amino acids and proteins and vegan keratin formula. One reviewer on Amazon also notes, "This R+Co Tonic is actually more of a texturizing or setting spray...I noticed my hair [was] less tacky throughout the day, and the effect of the tonic actually improved by day two—[I] still [had] texture and volume, but a more relaxed feel."

Violet Grey BF Sale 2022 Necessaire Body Wash

Violet Grey BF Sale 2022 Tatcha Lip Mask

6. Tatcha The Kissu Lip Mask

Violet Grey BF Sale 2022 Crave

7. Crave Vesper Vibrator

PureWow's Assistant Sales and Deals Editor, Destinee Scott, is a fan of this wearable vibrator, which doubles as a necklace. "It's definitely a conversation starter because it's not your typical 'necklace,' and it shows, but the real fun begins when you take it off and use the four speeds and two modes for up to 40 minutes," Scott explains. Most importantly, it won't randomly go off and is USB-rechargeable. P.S. The vibrator is 3.8" long and 0.5" wide, so it's way slimmer than most toys, and it's made of high-polish stainless steel with silver, nickel-free plating to clean with ease.

Violet Grey BF Sale 2022 Cleansing Balm

8. Augustinus Bader The Cleansing Balm

Take it from this one Sephora reviewer: "I love this mask. It is pricey, but if you’re consistent with it ([applying it] two to three times a week), it’s worth it. I’ve seen my skin transform [with] smaller pores [and] clearer skin in general." They have the genius aloe vera, chamomile, purslane and kaolin blend to thank for that.

One reviewer on Nordstrom is obsessed: "It is a very underrated, extremely effective exfoliator. Yes, there are cheaper ones on the market, but if you have sensitive skin and are looking for an acne-clearing solution, this should be at the top of your list."

It’s super relaxing and a simple self-care exercise that is also very pampering."
