Here's Your Guide to the Best After-Christmas Beauty and Style Deals

The holiday whirlwind is over. Presents have been opened, eggnog has been imbibed and carols have been sung. And now, one of the most awkward parts of the holiday season is upon us: what to do with the gifts we don’t want or worse, the gifts we desperately wanted, but didn’t receive.

For the former, that’s a personal tug of war, but for the latter, you are in luck. A shocking number of our favorite retailers are offering after-Christmas markdowns and end of the year sales, including Nordstrom, Sephora, Saks, Bloomingdale’s, Ulta, and so many more, so you can be your own holiday hero and purchase exactly what you want at a fraction of the price. Wanted more athleisure to kickstart your new 2023 fitness routine? Check out the straight-up steals from Alo Yoga, Carbon38, Athleta, Lorna Jane and Nike. Or if you’re already thinking about a mid-winter tropical vacation, scope out the discounts from the massively popular Frankie’s Bikinis or go-to staple, Cosabella.

There are a lot of retailers out there and not very much time to research the best deals, so we did it for you by compiling the below list of the best brands offering the best sales so you can start off 2023 with the wardrobe and beauty kit of dreams.
