To ensure you snag the best deals on top quality products, we rounded up the all of the discounts on the Good Housekeeping Institute Beauty & Personal Care Lab’s top-tested favorites, including recent Beauty Award winners and beauty editor favorites.

If you’ve been wanting to try out Aestura’s soothing face serum, now is the time. In Beauty Lab tests, just a few drops of the serum reduced skin redness and discomfort “instantly.” It’s formulated with ingredients like cica, zinc, and niacinamide that help to soothe dryness and irritation.

A fragrance that will look great on your vanity and turn heads each time you wear it, Gucci Flora Gorgeous Gardenia Eau de Parfum Intense was a standout in this year’s Beauty Awards. With notes of gardenia and warm sandalwood, the scent was praised for it’s timeless appeal. In the words of Senior Beauty & Style Director April Franzino, the fragrance is “bold yet sophisticated” and a smell “that people remember.”

While the full 3.3 ounce bottle isn’t part of the Sephora sale, you can still grab it at a reduced price in this mini duo set.

It is able to get hair smooth and shiny without burning or snagging and has wide two-inch plates that allow it to quickly straighten large sections of hair.

Franzino names this Tata Harper eye gel among her favorite glotions (glowing lotions) to keep her skin looking more awake, especially as a new mom. She said it’s one of the products that “saved my face from a serious lack of sleep and made me feel a bit more like myself.”
