CVS Is Giving Away Sheet Masks, Plus 8 More Amazing Ways To Save On Beauty Products This Week

The much-anticipated Fourth of July holiday happens this week, which means that in addition to celebrating America's birthday with fireworks, backyard BBQs, and pool parties, you can shop Fourth of July beauty sales. And the best news? Many of these sales are already active. You definitely need to carve out some time to shop — in between grilling veggie burgers, applying layers of sunscreen, and going out for ice cream with friends and family, of course.

QVC's epic Christmas In July sale is taking place right now so you can get a massive head start on holiday shopping or grab some beauty treats for yourself because you deserve it. CVS is giving away a free beauty set that features sheet masks, makeup, and sun care products when you purchase $30 worth of beauty items in stores or online after a certain date. Ulta's standing "Buy More, Save More" promotion has been updated with a slew of savings from a bunch of different brands for the month. Meanwhile, individual brands are offering multi-day discounts on their entire assortment of products and/or freebies.

Below are the nine best beauty sales happening this week and during the Fourth of July holiday. It may be America's birthday but you'll come away with all of the gifts.

1. MAC Dazzle Drops

If you like to rock glowing, shimmery skin in the summer, you need to scoop up MAC's Dazzle Drops in either Dazzlepeach or Dazzlepink.

2. Givenchy Le Rouge Sculpt Two-Tone Lipstick

It's a two-fer! Givenchy's two-toned, luxurious lipstick offers both contour and pigment in one fell swoop. There are five color combos available on sale for less than $25 at Sephora.
