Kosas BB Burst Hydrating Tinted Gel Cream ($19, originally $38)
If you are looking to upgrade your complexion products for summer, a weightless tinted moisturizer is the way to go. The sheer to light finish makes it perfect for glowy makeup looks that won't crack under hot temperatures. Read our full Kosas BB Burst Gel Cream review for more.
Editor Quote: "I much prefer the packaging of this cream to the original tinted oil, as it feels much easier to control how much you dispense. As for the tinted moisturizer itself, the gel feels incredibly cool on the skin and the glow that it leaves behind makes it look as if I had just applied my favorite moisturizer. It is also a buildable product, but if you're looking for full or even medium coverage, it's not that type of formula. When I layered it on, the coverage went from sheer to light. In that same vein, it's great for blurring the skin, especially if you have visible discoloration—your skin will glimmer in this really beautiful and healthy-looking way." — Ariel Baker, former associate beauty editor
Anthropologie Esther Acrylic Goblets, Set of 4 ($34, originally $48)
Add a bit of personality to your glassware collection by opting for an accent color. From the spiral base to the beaded trim, the playful design makes even drinking water feel more fun. If you are searching for new hosting essentials, be sure to check out all the Anthropologie furniture and decor picks that are 30 percent off.
Pehr Hooded Poncho Towel ($40, originally $62)
Some items are just too cute to pass up, and this sailboat poncho is one of them. Key design details like the hood, front pocket, and terry cloth lining make this the perfect pool companion for little ones. You can shop 35 percent off seasonal baby must haves or year-round basics using code MAY35 from now until Memorial Day.
Brooklinen Dreamweave Waffle Bath Towel Bundle ($68, originally $138)
It's easy to forget about your towels, but after a certain point they require a refresh. This bundle does the trick, complete with two sets of hand and bath towels — all in a gorgeous waffle texture. And I'll be honest, half off such a high-quality fabric is hard to pass up. If your linen closet is already stocked, the rest of the Brooklinen site is 25 percent off for all your bed and bath needs.
ARMRA Colostrum Unflavored Jar ($120)
Whether you already take ARMRA Colostrum daily or are looking to try out the brand for the first time, shopping supplements on sale is always a smart idea. Most of the site is 20 percent off starting May 22 through the weekend, giving you the perfect excuse to stock up. Plus, the discount applies to a first time subscription to the brand's latest launch, ARMRA Colostrum Soda ($50).
Abercrombie Bra-Free Smocked Drop-Waist Maxi Dress ($130)
Abercrombie has proven to be a go-to spot for sundresses this year, and I am personally running out of excuses not to grab some of these styles. When adding this stunning blue drop-waist style to your cart, make sure to use stackable code AFSUMMER for an additional 15 percent off almost everything.
Calpak Ambeur Mini Carry-On Luggage ($172, originally $215)
Looking to upgrade your luggage? Our editor raved about the convenience of this compact design in their Calpak Ambeur Mini Carry-On review. Don't let first impressions fool you! While small, the suitcase still includes the brand's signature compartments to maximize storage.
Editor Quote: "What drew me to Calpak's Ambeur Mini Carry-On is its stunning champagne gold hardshell design. But, what really sealed the deal was that, unlike most personal-item carry-on bags, this one is equipped with 360-degree spinner wheels and a collapsible luggage handle, so you can get through security and to your gate without having to carry the actual weight of your bag. It's quite literally a mini version of a carry-on bag; it has all the convenience of a stylish and functional suitcase, just sliced in half." — Anvita Reddy, former assistant shopping editor
Lola Blanket Bondi Beige Faux Fur Blanket ($275)
The internet has successfully convinced me that I need a Lola Blanket. Between the plush, ultra-soft fabric and the perfectly oversize cut, I know it would elevate every couch nap and movie night alike. Lucky for us, starting May 23, the entire site will be 40 perfect off.
Ruggable Alessia Dusk Blue Rug ($279, originally $349)
There are some brands that I wait all year to shop on sale, and Ruggable is one of them. They have such a wide selection of options that fit every room and aesthetic, all with the major benefit of being machine washable. Now through May 27, you can shop some of the most popular prints up to 25 percent off.
Wayfair Wade Logan Carmencita 65" Linen Upholstered Square Arm Loveseat ($287, originally $470)
If you are shopping for big ticket items this Memorial Day, Wayfair should be your first stop. With discounts up to 70 percent off, it's hard not to at least scroll through the selection. Our top pick? This linen upholstered loveseat, which feels equal parts neutral and sophisticated.
Dyson Airstrait Straightener ($400, originally $500)
Luxury beauty devices are a splurge — especially when it comes to hair tools. So when you see a top tier product as part of Amazon's Memorial Day sale, you should jump at the opportunity to add it to your cart. Read why our editor loves this tool in her Dyson Airstrait Straightener review.
Editor Quote: "It doesn't require any tugging or pulling at the hair to guide it through; a slow, steady downward motion makes hair glide smoothly. For my fine hair, I only needed one slow pass to get perfectly smooth, straight ends. I found it easy to work in pretty large sections of hair — roughly two-inch pieces — and didn't experience any snags or knots. The Airstrait actually detangled hair in the process of drying it. My final result was silky-smooth hair with lots of shine that felt healthy (as opposed to fried)." — Jessica Harrington, beauty section lead
