The Best After-Holiday Beauty Sales to Shop Before the End of the Year
With all the hype surrounding Black Friday, Cyber Monday, and last-minute holiday sales, it's easy to forget that sometimes the best deals of the season come after Christmas, during the last week of the year. After all, retailers are trying to move what's left of the holiday gift sets still in their inventories, and there are plenty of deals on non-bundled beauty products, too — gotta make room for the awesome new 2019 launches before the new year. And that's exactly why end-of-year sales are so epic.
Below, you'll find the can't-miss sales from everyone from Sephora to Target that will help you end 2018 and start 2019 on an especially high note. Replenish some of your almost-empty favorites, treat yourself to a new hair tool or two, or even shop ahead for future gifts. No matter what you get, you can rest assured you're getting it for a great price.
Bloomingdales
Bloomies is having an After-Christmas Sale with up to 75 percent off on a huge selection of items, and that includes plenty of beauty products. You'll find what's left of adorably packaged holiday gift sets — like this Kiehl's Head-to-Toe Hydrators set — many of which were already values before being marked down. There's also lots of stand-alone products from beloved brands like M.A.C., Clinique, and more. (Shop Now)
Kat Von D
Now is a great time to snag a few Kat Von D lip colors you've been tempted to try in the past. Lots of shades of both Studded Kiss Creme Lipstick and Everlasting Liquid Lipstick have been marked down to a lucky $13, and you'll find Everlasting Lip Liner and Everlasting Glimmer Veil colors at lower prices, too. It's also you last chance to get a few limited-edition products and sets, like the Fetish Blush + Highlighter Palette, which is 50-percent off. (Shop Now)
Kylie Cosmetics
The brand's Instagram account announced the sale, posting, "Our end of the year sale is LIVE" and promising up to 40 percent off on select items. The marked-down items include plenty of palettes, a wide variety of makeup brushes, over a dozen Lip Kit colors — Red Velvet is a no-fail, classic color — and lots more. And if you spend over $100, you'll get a free makeup bag. (Shop Now)

Peach & Lily
From the looks of the discount code, HOLIDAY18, it may seem like Peach & Lily forgot to end their holiday sale. But this 20-percent-off discount just began and goes through 11:59 p.m. on December 31. Use it on everything except the in-house brand — that means you can snag products by favorite K-beauty brands like Atopalm, Mizon, and Wish Formula for way less than their usual prices. (Shop Now)
