I’ll be the first to admit it: Sephora’s sale section is a mess. When the beauty retailer isn’t having a holiday or Insiders’ sale, finding a good deal is like finding a needle in a stack of slightly different-colored needles. I’ve spent countless hours scrolling and opening new tabs just to find that out of the 50 products I’ve clicked on, 35 are out of stock or no longer carried. So for this piece, I’ve gone through everything with a fine-tooth comb and present to you the best products — most of them recommended by the Strategist team — that are actually worth a look.

If you’re looking for a hair dryer that comes with useful attachments, this is our pick. “Unlike the regular SpeedStyle, the Pro is foldable, a huge plus for storing and traveling, and the additional attachments made styling a breeze,” says writer Dominique Pariso. It has three power and three heat settings, but “I only used the lower heat settings for my blowout and found it still dried my hair in around 20 minutes.”
