Clean beauty lovers, now is our time. Credo Beauty—my personal favorite one-stop-shop for clean beauty brands—is having its biannual Friends of Credo sale from April 27 – May 3, and it’s the perfect excuse to update your cosmetics bag for summer. Personally, I’m on the hunt for the perfect red lipstick for the season, so I will be taking advantage of Credo’s 20 percent off site-wide. That said, my shopping cart will likely be filled with products of all kinds. Credo has an excellent selection of hair care, body care, skincare, makeup, and fragrance, after all.
Still not convinced to give this sale a try? What if I told you that Credo was committed to sustainable packaging and clean beauty ingredients? What sets Credo apart from other retailers is its commitment to clean beauty and repping earth-friendly brands. As an acne-prone woman with combination skin, I’m always worried about breakouts when trying a new product. So I love that Credo vets product ingredients and makes sure the label matches what’s in the bottle as part of its Credo Clean Standard, so you always know exactly what you’re putting on your face and can easily avoid ingredients that break you out. And did I mention everything is 20 percent off right now?
Don’t wait to browse the beauty goodies because the Friends of Credo sale only lasts through May 3.
Best Beauty Products to Buy at the Credo Beauty Sale
Mob Beauty
Soft Matte Lipstick (was $24)
My standards for a summer red lip are as follows: It must be bright, matte, not drying, and long-wearing. Mob Beauty’s Soft Matte Lipstick in M67 checks all the boxes and I love the vibrant color because it’s not too orangey or too vampy.
Westman Atelier
Face Trace Contour Stick (was $48)
Westman Atelier’s contour stick comes in eight shades with various undertones, so you can get the cool contour of your dreams or go for a warmer, bronzier shade. No matter your preference, you’ll be getting a smooth application of buildable color.
LYS
Skin Tint Blurring Foundation Stick (was $28)
The LYS Skin Tint Blurring Foundation is one of the best foundation sticks I’ve ever tried. It doesn’t cling to dry patches and goes on smooth with buildable coverage, and it comes in 22 shades.
Gen See
Mixed Media Liquid Eyeshadow (was $29)
If you’re a liquid eyeshadow beginner, Gen See’s matte and metallic collection is the perfect place to start. Not only are these easy to blend, they dry down smooth and don’t crease—no primer required.
RMS Beauty
ReDimension Hydra Powder Blush (was $38)
Nothing says “summer” to me like a warm, slightly sparkly blush. RMS Beauty’s ReDimension Hydra Powder Blush is perfect for a wash of luminous color, but you can also build it up if you enjoy blush blindness.
Soshe Beauty
Waterproof Tubing Mascara (was $28)
Tubing mascaras can be tricky. I’ve struggled with ones that were too wet and smudged before I’d left the house. Others come off too easily throughout the day on my watery eyes.. This one from Shoshe Beauty is waterproof, so it won’t leave you looking like a racoon at the end of the day.
Henry Rose
Ripe Eau de Parfum (was $120)
If you’re looking for a fruity summer scent, look no further. Henry Rose’s Ripe Eau de Parfum has top notes of lychee and watermelon sorbet, balanced out by dry notes of creamy sandalwood and musks.
Nécessaire
The Body Retinol (was $62)
This retinol serum for your body uses encapsulated retinol to help prevent crepiness and lines and help even out dark spots. It also contains moisturizing ingredients like glycerin and coconut alkanes, so it’ll leave your skin feeling nice and soft.
iota
Oishii Berry Body Lotion (was $38)
I might cry when I finish my Oishii Berry Body Lotion. It’s the perfect consistency—rich, but not too thick—and has the perfect amount of Oishii Berry scent that’ll have you smelling absolutely delicious. That said, the scent isn’t so strong that it’ll overpower any perfumes or fragrances you might want to wear, which is why it’s perfect in my book.
Maya Chia
The Advanced Eye Response Complex Eye Cream (was $86)
I have dry under-eyes, so a lot of anti-aging or brightening eye creams end up being too light for me. This one from Maya Chia is super moisturizing and contains encapsulated retinol to help soften the appearance of fine lines. It’s a win-win.
Tata Harper
SUPERKIND Fortifying Moisturizer (was $138)
There’s no better time to splurge on a luxury moisturizer than during a sale. And this formula from Tata Harper is definitely worth the splurge. Made for those with dry or sensitive skin, the SUPERKIND Fortifying Moisturizer is perfect for those who want to keep their skin calm and protected, even as summer heats up.
