We still have a couple of weeks before Memorial Day weekend sales officially kick off, but that doesn’t mean we can’t get a head start on planning our long weekend of shopping, right? Though we have to wait just a bit longer to actually nab these impressive savings, eager shoppers can get excited about two things: having that one Monday off from work to scour all of the online beauty sales that’ll be available soon enough.
Here’s some good news: Many of the sales start before the actual weekend hits and last through Monday, May 31 (or even later), so get your clicker finger ready. More sales will roll out as we get closer to MDW, too, so make sure you bookmark this list to stay in the know on the best beauty deals to score before they’re gone.
