So what’s worth shopping in the sale? Adore Beauty’s Senior Beauty Editor Sadaf Razi let us know.
Dermalogica Special Cleansing Gel
This soap-free gel cleanser has a dreamy blend of botanicals and calming ingredients that help clean the skin without leaving your complexion feeling tight or dry.
It’s one of Adore’s best-selling cleansers, and is rated 4.7/5 stars from over 550 customer reviews.
If you’re in search of a no-fuss cleanser that will keep your skin happy while getting the job done you’re in luck because it’s currently 28 per cent off.
This hyaluronic acid serum is one of the original hydrators.
It helps to repair and replenish your skin’s natural moisture barrier while improving bounce and suppleness. I could go on but I think this review left by an Adore Beauty customer sums it up pretty well.
“I received the smaller size as a gift and had to purchase the bigger size! This serum has worked wonders for my skin,” one woman said.
“It has smoothed my texture and it almost looks like I have a filter on. It’s the best my skin’s ever looked I feel.”
This recommendation goes out to all my blemish-prone skin darlings.
Press & Clear is a 3-in-1 toner that helps reduce the appearance of blemishes before, after and during your breakout.
It’s a testament to decongestion and has some barrier-supporting ingredients like Alpha Arbutin, Australian Kakadu Plum and Blue Cornflower snuck into the formula.
You can either swipe it all over your face or focus specifically on your breakout hot spots.
A multi-tasking hydrating serum that contains a triple-hyaluronic acid complex as well as niacinamide and panthenol.
It plumps, brightens, hydrates, offers antioxidant protection and helps to maintain the skin’s natural oils.
Basically, your skin will love you for adding this one into your routine.
Dermal therapist Joanna Fleming is also a fan of this serum and uses it on her friends when doing dermal therapy treatments: “It gives me glow, feels soothing and layers well with my other skincare products.”
This product is legendary, there was a point in Adore history where this CC (colour-correcting) cream was constantly sold out because everyone wanted to get their hands on a tube.
The formula is a cross between a BB cream and a foundation and has a dewy but still long-lasting finish.
Another huge bonus? It’s broad SPF 50+ and chock full of skin-boosting ingredients like niacinamide, vitamin C, and hyaluronic acid so you get added skincare benefits while donning a full face of makeup.
Although the SPF in this product is not enough to properly protect the skin, it does serve as an extra layer of protection when applied over your regular everyday SPF.
Lovers of long, thick, bold lashes gather around.
Maybelline Sky High offers dramatic volume, extra length, and waterproof formula — there’s a reason this mascara took TikTok by storm.
The formula has been Ophthalmologist tested and contains bamboo extract and volumising fibres to give your lashes that extra oomph, while the flexible brush ensures even the smallest lashes can be reached from root to tip.
Pureology Color Fanatic Multi-Tasking Leave-In Spray
The ultimate multi-hyphenate overachiever. It’s a lightweight spray that contains nourishing and protective ingredients that soften and hydrate the hair.
I’m impressed when a product can do upwards of three things, this all-in-one leave-in conditioner spray has twenty-one benefits.
They’re split into three categories — prime, protect, and perfect. They’re listed on the bottle, but for anyone who’s curious, it’s also listed in this Beauty IQ article.
ghd original hair straightener
The old faithful hot tool. This ghd is truly a timeless treasure.
It has a rounded barrel meaning you can create waves, curls, or straight hair.
It heats up to ghd’s optimum hair styling temperature of 185ºC.
The plates are made with an advanced ceramic coating that allows your hair to pass through with ease. The straightener is rated at 4.8/5 stars and has collected some die-hard fans over the years.
“GHD has been my go-to for years. I only purchased this one because my last GHD finally died after almost 15 years of use! Great, loyal product, that actually works. Can’t go wrong with this brand in my opinion,” one customer said.
