Beauty & Skincare Deals

Labor Day isn’t just for big-ticket items – it’s also a great time to stock up on makeup and skincare essentials. Many beauty brands and retailers are offering sitewide discounts or special promotions. Here are the top beauty deals this week:

• Ulta Beauty – 21 Days of Beauty (Fall Edition): Ulta’s biggest semiannual sale starts Aug. 29 and runs through Sept. 18. Every day features new 50% off “Beauty Steals” on top-selling products (24-hour flash deals). The fall preview teases major brands like Marc Jacobs, Olaplex, Drunk Elephant, Lancôme, BaByliss and more on sale. (Ulta will also offer weekly deals and free gifts with purchase during this event.)
• Bath & Body Works: Expect a Labor Day weekend sale with 50% off select items (body care and home fragrances). According to sale watchers, B&BW’s Labor Day Sale historically offers half-off on select candles, lotions, sprays, and more starting at the end of August – a perfect time to grab fall scents.
• CVS Epic Beauty Sale: Running Aug. 17–30, CVS is offering ExtraCare members $10 off a $25 purchase on beauty or personal care products. (It’s free to sign up for ExtraCare.) This Epic Beauty Event covers cosmetics, skincare, hair care, etc., and you can stack this coupon with sale prices and manufacturer coupons for even more savings.
• Amazon has some great beauty finds for Labor Day, including the Medicube Collagen Jelly Cream for just $16 (originally $33) and Crest 3D Whitestrips for $30 (down from $46). In addition to these markdowns, it’s worth keeping an eye out for Amazon’s daily K-beauty and skincare flash deals, where prices often dip even lower on trending favorites.
• Popular Beauty Brands – Sitewide Sales: Many brands are holding their own Labor Day promos. Notably, NARS is offering 20% off sitewide (use code SUMMER), Paula’s Choice has 20% off all products sitewide, and Too Faced is giving 25% off fan-favorite items. Other brands with Labor Day deals include Herbivore (25% off with code FRIENDS) and Milk Makeup (15% off with code FALLFRESH).
• Sephora is rolling out some serious Labor Day savings with its Fenty Beauty Sale, where select products are marked 50% off—including the popular Gloss Bomb Ice lip gloss for just $13 (originally $26). On top of that, Sephora’s seasonal clearance is in full swing, featuring markdowns on summer makeup, skincare, and haircare as they make room for fall arrivals—perfect for stocking up while prices are low.

(Tip: Don’t forget Ulta’s sale starts Friday – those daily 50% off deals sell out fast! Also, Bath & Body Works’ 50%-off selections tend to rotate, so check their site or app for the latest “Top Offers.”)

Fashion & Apparel Deals

Ready to refresh your wardrobe for fall? 🍁 Labor Day fashion sales are in full swing, with big discounts on summer stock and transitional pieces. Major retailers are slashing prices on clothing, shoes, and accessories to make room for new season styles. Here are the best fashion deals for women (and the whole family) this week:

• Macy’s: The department store’s Labor Day sale runs Aug. 27 – Sept. 1 with deep discounts across apparel. Look for price drops on big-name brands like Tommy Hilfiger, Calvin Klein, Levi’s, and more during this event. Macy’s is advertising major end-of-season markdowns in women’s, men’s, and kids’ clothing, plus specials on shoes and handbags (check their site for daily deals).
• Madewell: Madewell’s Labor Day Event is live now – shoppers get an extra 40% off already-discounted sale styles with promo code: LONGWEEKEND. This applies to their popular denim, tees, and dresses. (For example, Madewell Stovepipe jeans were spotted for ~$36, originally $128. 😱) It’s a rare chance to snag Madewell staples at half price.
• Reformation: The trendy eco-conscious brand is having a rare 50% off sale on select styles for Labor Day. This includes editor-favorite dresses, workwear, denim, and more at half price. If you’ve been eyeing anything from Reformation, now’s the time – such steep discounts are uncommon for this brand.
• Everlane: Everlane’s end-of-summer clearance runs Aug. 27 – Sept. 1, offering up to 70% off women’s and men’s essentials. Expect hefty markdowns on basics like premium denim, cotton tees, and sweaters. (Many items are under $50 during this sale.) Everlane rarely goes this high on discounts, so it’s a great opportunity to stock up on quality basics.
• J.Crew: J.Crew is giving a fall preview sale of 40% off select full-price styles from Aug. 24–30. This covers new fall arrivals and transitional pieces. Use the promo on items like blazers, fall dresses, and jackets. (Insider tip: J.Crew’s clearance section is also extra 50% off with code WEEKEND during Labor Day weekend, per some reports.)
• Saks OFF 5TH: The off-price outlet of Saks is having a blowout clearance online for Labor Day. From Aug. 29 – Sept. 1, take up to 90% off thousands of clearance styles – designer clothing, shoes, bags, you name it. (Yes, up to 90% is not a typo!) This is one of the biggest clearance events for high-end fashion; sizes go quickly, so shop early if you have your eye on luxe brands at rock-bottom prices.
• Dillard’s: Dillard’s is in the midst of a huge Summer Clearance event (ongoing now) with 40%–65% off apparel, shoes, and more. It’s an end-of-season sale covering spring/summer collections. You can find evening dresses, sandals, and accessories often marked well over 50% off. (Example: a dress originally $79 is now ~$27 at 65% off.) Inventory is limited to what’s on hand, so styles may vary by store.
• Nordstrom Rack: Nordstrom’s clearance arm always has great deals, and this week is no exception. You can find designer items at 70–80% off. For instance, Nordstrom Rack has Sam Edelman Terra slingback pumps for $28 (originally $140) – that’s 80% off a chic pair of heels. While not an official “Labor Day sale,” the Rack’s summer clearance section is brimming with such steals on women’s shoes and fashion. Definitely worth a browse for high-end brands on a budget.

(Fashion tip: Now’s a smart time to grab summer pieces on clearance and also snag early discounts on fall items. Many of these sales (Macy’s, J.Crew, etc.) span the holiday weekend only, so don’t wait. Also, check if you can stack any extra coupon codes or loyalty rewards – some retailers allow it during holiday sales.)

Home & Lifestyle Deals

Labor Day has become famous for home and lifestyle deals – from furniture to appliances – rivaling even Black Friday for big-ticket discounts. It’s the perfect time to refresh your living space or kitchen for less. Here are the top picks in home goods:

• Wayfair: Wayfair’s Labor Day Home Sale is massive, with up to 50% off across furniture and décor categories. We’re seeing extreme markdowns on certain items – for example, a Kelly Clarkson Home indoor rug is $100 (originally $465 – 78% off!), and an outdoor lounge chair set is $180 (down from $675 – 73% off). From sofas to patio sets, Wayfair is offering some of the steepest home discounts of the year. (Many deals run through Labor Day, but the best pieces may sell out early.)
• Home Depot & Lowe’s (Appliances): If you need a new fridge or washer, holiday weekends are prime time. Both Lowe’s and Home Depot are advertising up to 35% off select major appliances for Labor Day. For example, Home Depot has a high-end LG French Door Refrigerator at $1,798 (regular $3,099 – 41% off). Expect similar ~30–35% off savings on refrigerators, dishwashers, laundry machines, and kitchen appliances at these home improvement stores. (Many of these deals run through Labor Day Monday; delivery promotions may apply too.)
• Mattresses: Labor Day is one of the best times to buy a mattress. Several top online brands started sales early in August and run them into early September. A few highlights: Avocado is offering 20% off organic mattresses (through Sept. 8), Helix has 25% offsitewide (through Sept. 8), Bear is up to 35% off (with code EARLYLD), and Nolah is 30% off everything. Traditional brands (Sealy, Serta, etc.) are also on sale at retailers – expect 20–30% off in-stock mattresses at Macy’s, Mattress Firm, and others. If you need better sleep, now’s a great chance to save hundreds on a new bed.
• Walmart (Home Deals): Walmart’s Labor Day Rollbacks are in full swing for home and garden. They’re offering up to 50% off patio and garden items – think string lights, fire pits, lawn chairs, etc., to spruce up your outdoor space for less. Also notable: Walmart has up to 40% off Shark and Ninja small appliances (vacuum cleaners, air fryers, blenders, etc.). For instance, select Shark robot vacuums are dropping under $200 (normally $300+). Even kitchen gadgets are on sale – a popular Chefman electric kettle is now $19(was $24), and personal blenders and coffee makers are seeing nice discounts. Check Walmart’s “Labor Day Savings” page for flash deals on everything from TVs to furniture.
• Crate & Barrel and Pottery Barn: High-end home retailers are joining the Labor Day fun too. Crate & Barrel has up to 60% off in its clearance/outlet section – a great chance to snag stylish décor, dinnerware, or furniture. And Pottery Barn is advertising up to 60% off select furniture, lighting, rugs and more as part of its Labor Day sale. Big-ticket pieces like sofas, beds, and dining tables are hundreds of dollars off. These sales can help you get luxury home items at a more approachable price point.
• REI (Outdoor Gear): Camping and outdoor enthusiasts, take note: REI’s Labor Day Sale runs Aug. 22 – Sept. 1 with up to 30% off gear and apparel. Brands like Patagonia, Columbia, The North Face and REI’s own Co-op line are discounted. Whether you need a fall jacket, hiking boots, or a new tent, REI’s sale is a once-a-year opportunity (they’ve hinted you won’t see deals this good again until Black Friday). Don’t forget, REI members get an extra dividend on purchases, effectively adding to your savings.

(Home hint: Many of these stores offer stackable savings – e.g., using store credit cards or promo codes on top of sale prices. Also, Labor Day is a good time to buy large items like appliances and furniture because retailers often include free delivery or bonus gift cards. Compare deals across stores (Best Buy vs. Home Depot for appliances, for example) to ensure you’re getting the best price.)

Family & Kids Deals (Plus Freebie Finds)

Labor Day sales aren’t just for grown-up shopping – there are plenty of deals for kids’ items and family-oriented savings too. We’ve gathered the best family-friendly deals on kids’ apparel, toys, and more, as well as a few freebie specials, perfect for the holiday weekend:

• Carter’s: The beloved children’s clothing brand is running a huge sale Aug. 23 – Sept. 2 with up to 50% offsitewide. This covers baby and kids’ apparel for all seasons. It’s essentially a half-off wardrobe refresh for your little ones – think onesies, outfits, pajamas, etc., at steep discounts. (Carter’s rarely does total sitewide sales, so this is a notable event timed for Labor Day.)
• Target – Upcoming “Baby Month” Event: Moms and dads, mark your calendars for mid-September: Target’s big annual Baby Gear Event is predicted to start around Sept. 14, 2025. During this sale, Target offers 30%+ off a wide range of baby essentials – from strollers and car seats to cribs and nursery furniture. You can also stack Target Circle offers and registry completion coupons for extra savings. It’s not happening this week, but it’s a heads-up for content planning: a major baby sale is on the horizon shortly after Labor Day.
• Walmart (Toys & Kids): Walmart’s Labor Day deals extend to toys and kids’ products too. Notably, LEGO sets are on sale from as low as $9 – a great chance to pick up a new kit for the kids (Star Wars, Mario, and more themes included). They’re also running one of the year’s biggest Crocs sales: up to 50% off select Crocs for men, women and kids (styles from just $12). And if your kids need sneakers, Skechers shoes are on sale from $19 at Walmart (various slip-ons and athletic styles for the family). These are excellent value finds to gear up the whole family for fall.
• Main Event (Family Entertainment): Looking for a fun Labor Day outing? Main Event – the arcade/bowling/family fun center – has a Labor Day All-You-Can-Play deal. On Sept. 1, you can get an unlimited play pass for activities (bowling, laser tag, etc.) for $14.99 (play until 5 p.m.) and you’ll receive a FREE $10 game card for arcade games. This is a great family deal to keep the kids entertained for hours. (If you go, be sure to purchase the pass before noon on Labor Day to get the free $10 card bonus.)
• Outback Steakhouse (Kids Eat Free): After all that shopping, you might want to eat out – and on Labor Day Monday, kids eat FREE at Outback! 😋 Every Monday, including Sept. 1, Outback Steakhouse offers free kids’ meals with the purchase of an adult entrée. It’s a dine-in only promotion at participating locations (typically one free kids’ meal per adult entrée). If you’re out and about on Labor Day, this is a nice perk for families to save on dinner.
• Shake Shack: Craving a burger? Shake Shack has a tasty Labor Day freebie: get a FREE Summer BBQ Burger or Chicken Sandwich with any $10 purchase, using promo code SUMMER (online, in-app, or at kiosk). This deal is valid through Sept. 1. So if you stop by Shake Shack over the weekend, snag that free sandwich with your order – perfect for a family lunch treat.
