My Favorite Labor Day Deals!

in Clean Beauty

Hello and happy impending Labor Day weekend! We are heading to Texas for the extended weekend, but far be it for me to not share some of the best Labor Day promotions. I mean, Labor Day is pretty much the Black Friday of late summer DUH. There are tons of deals to be had, but I am going to stick with the lucky number 7 today. Some promotions have already begun and some not quite yet, but I will include dates for you, as well as my top picks from each shop!

AILLEA BEAUTY

AILLEA is one of my favorite online green beauty retailers as well as having brick-and-mortar shops as in Denver, Charleston, Raleigh, and Atlanta. (Oh, how I wish I lived closer to one.)

AILLEA’s Labor Day promotion is from August 29th through September 2nd and shoppers can save 15% store-wide! The promotion is both in-store and online – online shoppers can use code LD2019 for the discount to apply.

(Certain brands are excluded – May Lindstrom, Kypris Beauty, Josh Rosebrook, and Vintner’s Daughter.)
