I'm loading up on brands like Dove, Olay and L'Oréal — all up to 50% off during one of the drugstore's biggest sales of the year.
Last weekend, I came down with a cold and realized that I was out of tissues and Tylenol. I dragged myself to CVS to grab the basics and was pleasantly surprised to find that the Epic Beauty Sale was going strong. My subsequent shopping spree may not have cured my cold, but it definitely boosted my spirits!
You'll find tons of items on sale from Dove, Olay and L'Oreal and more. There are also plenty of special deals for ExtraCare cardholders (and if you're not a member, it's free to sign up). For instance, score $10 off beauty and personal care items when you spend $30, plus earn ExtraBucks rewards when you pick up editor-loved favorites from Color Wow, Neutrogena, Maybelline and more. Also spotted: Two-for-$9 Garnier Fructis shampoo and conditioner; buy one, get one free Nivea body wash; and $4 Colgate toothpaste.
I can vouch for the savings that come with being an ExtraCare member. The more you shop, the more CVS rewards you. So stock up now on what you already use — and save a little extra while you're at it.
Real talk: I've been using this Dove body wash for more than 25 years, and it always leaves my skin feeling incredibly soft and moisturized. Anytime I switch to something else for a few days, I notice a difference immediately. The creamy formula lathers up beautifully and is gentle enough for everyday use, even on sensitive skin. That's why I'm stocking up now while this jumbo 30-ounce bottle is on sale for just $11.
Now that winter is (almost) in the rearview mirror, I'm planning for warmer days ahead — and, for me, that means a beach vacation or two. With my fair skin, sunscreen is nonnegotiable. I especially love a spray formula like this one because it makes applying quick and easy. It's also sweat-, heat- and water-resistant. Even better, this two-pack is down to $17 — just $8.50 per bottle.
My mom has sworn by Olay moisturizers for years, and they've earned a permanent spot in my own beauty routine too. This formula aims to provide all-day hydration and unearth a brighter, smoother complexion (just in time for a brighter, sunnier season). I'm buying two while it's 50% off.
With shorts and bathing suit season right around the corner, it's time to refresh my razor stash. CVS has plenty of options on sale from brands like Gillette, Schick and Skintimate, but this Venus favorite with a lubricating strip and a pivoting handle is the one I'm adding to my cart.
Actress Andie MacDowell recently said this shampoo (along with the matching conditioner, also on sale) is one of the secrets to her gorgeous hair. "I like this better [for gray hair] because it makes your hair shine without too much purple," she shared. "Sometimes the purple [shampoo] can make your hair blue if you're not careful. This I can use every day."
