These July 4 Beauty Sales Are So Good, You'll Want to Skip Your Cookout and Shop

Since shopping is a beloved American pastime, it's just as logical as a way to celebrate July 4 as fireworks and barbecues. As we enter the height of Summer beauty season, it's time to put your best face (and hair and tan and skin) forward. From affordable Ulta offerings to Net-a-Porter splurges, these are the sales you simply cannot miss. The best part? These deals are all in effect now, so you can get in on them even if you plan to unplug on the actual Fourth.

Bliss

Bliss

Bliss, indeed — use code FIREWORKS to save 30 percent on some of the brand's standouts from its Firm, Baby, Firm collection. The Moisturizing Gel-Cream ($25, originally $62) is potent enough to banish fine lines and wrinkles but lightweight and wearable on even the most humid Summer days.

Anthropologie

Anthropologie

Jennifer Behr's romantic creations have graced the heads of Janelle Monáe, Chrissy Teigen, Mandy Moore, and maybe you, now that her wedding-worthy Painted Lilacs Headband ($300, originally $518) graces the Anthropologie Summer sale. No code is necessary to score up to 50 percent off indie brand offerings like Wander Beauty, Pinch Provisions, and Susanne Kaufmann.

Net-a-Porter

Net-a-Porter

Chock-full of splashy makeup bags from designers like Dolce & Gabbana, Miu Miu, and Globe-Trotter, the Net-a-Porter sale is enough to make you book a vacation ASAP. This whimsical Dolce & Gabbana Marigold Printed Shell Cosmetics Case ($188, originally $375) is the perfect bundle for all of your July 4 Summer beauty steals.

ASOS

ASOS

Put the (electric) blue in red, white, and blue with a Kylie Jenner-esque Bubblegum Blue Faux Wig ($9, originally $23). More rave-ready looks can be obtained through discounted Rimmel Instant Tan Lotion and NYX Matte Lipstick.

Sephora

Sephora

Let your pout match your one-piece with Mara Hoffman for Kaleidescape Tinted Lip Balm ($11, originally $18). More marked-down lipsticks from Kat Von D, Urban Decay, and Make Up For Ever round out this sale.

Nordstrom

Nordstrom

While you patiently wait for the brand’s blowout anniversary sale later in July, hold yourself over with an option like Kevyn Aucoin Beauty The Eyeshadow Duo ($29, originally $42). Since Nordstom's sale is primarily (very cute!) cosmetics bags, this is one of the only makeup offerings available.

Revolve Clothing

Revolve Clothing

Three Stila Bright & Bold Stay All Day Lipsticks ($16, originally $20) are better than one, especially when you can get them for a fraction of the price. They're fully matte but seemingly weightless in a palette that's as colorful as the season. Since Revolve's beauty shop is somewhat new, this is an exciting chance to snag a rare sale.

Bath & Body Works

Bath & Body Works

July 4 just might be the best day of the year for Bath & Body Works shoppers. You can score 75 percent off of the brand's signature collection, which includes Oahu Coconut Sunset Shower Gel ($4, originally $12).

The Body Shop

The Body Shop

Laura Geller

Laura Geller

No furrowed brows are necessary to enjoy 35 percent off all things Laura Geller with code 35SUMMER. Nab this Brow Sculpting Palette ($19, originally $29), and you'll have money left over for a few extra products, which include affordable lip kits and palettes.
