I’ve been patiently waiting all month for Memorial Day weekend so that I can finally refresh my summer wardrobe and beauty routine for less. Somehow, the deals are even better than I could have imagined, with savings up to 81 percent off from select retailers. Unfortunately, many of those sales end tonight, so I’m acting fast.
Below are the best eight Memorial Day sales I’m shopping from Madewell, Spanx, Nordstrom, Dermstore, and more, including deals on breezy dresses, summer sandals, designer bags, and celebrity-loved skincare. But don’t wait, these deals won’t last much longer.

The Perfect Vintage Wide-Leg jeans in white are going to be one of this summer’s trendiest denim styles, according to Mary Pierson, the brand’s SVP of Denim Design, which makes them a no-brainer.
