Take CVS' Truly Epic Beauty Sale as a Sign to Restock Your Routine

Save on makeup, fragrance, skincare, and more that'll help you step into fall feeling like your best self.

The end of summer calls for a beauty routine reset—not only because now is the time to prepare yourself for more regimented days and cooler weather, but because CVS' Epic Beauty Sale is running from August 16 to 29th.

During the aptly-named event, you can save $10 off purchases of $30+ worth of beauty and personal-care items. That can include cozy-scented body lotions that keep dry skin at bay, hair products to simplify styling, and viral makeup finds that will quickly become holy grails. Here, we rounded up just a sampling of our fall must-haves to score from fan-favorite brands like e.l.f., Vacation, La Roche-Posay, and so much more.
