32 Best Back-to-School Sales Giving Us Life in 2024

Yes, we’re shedding a single tear for the end of summer, but nothing dries our eyes quite like an avalanche of the best back-to-school sales tumbling into our open carts. Whether you’re shopping for your final semester at college, spoiling your freshly minted high school sophomore, or not even actively enrolled (hey, a sale’s a sale!), a new school year means a strained wallet—never mind the notebooks, pens, and binders. So, we implore you, spare yourself some of the stress by shopping these early 2024 back-to-school sales from the best retailers in the biz.

Best Back-to-School Beauty Sales

Marc Jacobs

Daisy Love Eau So Sweet Eau de Toilette

The Marc Jacobs Daisy Eau So Sweet is a perfect summer-to-fall perfume. It’s sparkly, fruity, and airy, and the bottle looks so cute on any dresser. Then there’s the Dyson Airwrap—a hair tool so good that it speaks for itself (but we’ve spoken about it quite a bit, too). If you’re more than okay with a refurbished tool—if there are any minor blemishes, they won’t affect functionality—you’ll save a cool $240.

Laura Geller

Spackle Primer

Anua

10% Niacinamide + 4% Tranexamic Acid Serum

Of course, Amazon has some of the best beauty stuff on sale. Like, of course. We don’t know about you, but we’ll be shopping the Laura Geller Spackle Primer (a hydrating, hyaluronic-acid-infused primer ideal for mature skin) and this beloved K-beauty product, the Anua 10% Niacinamide+ 4% Tranexamic Acid Serum (which brightens dark spots and tightens the look of pores).

Drybar

Cocomint Float Scalp & Body Scrub

Armani Beauty

Lip Maestro Matte Liquid Lipstick

Drybar’s Cocomint Float is an all-over shower treat you can use on your scalp and body (go off, science). The textured plant-based sugar moisturizes while nixing flakiness, and coconut shell and rice powder exfoliate all the while. Then, steal the show at your next formal with the help of Armani’s Lip Maestro Liquid Lipstick.

Supergoop!

Unseen Sunscreen

NuFace

Trinity+ Starter Kit

We’re diving into back-to-school face-first with Dermstore goodies.

R+Co

Television Perfect Hair Masque

Aesthetic girlies rise up because Ssense has some winners. Whether you’re on the lookout for a lightweight moisturizer (this majorly-on-sale one from Mutha is formulated with ceramides, algae, and mushroom extract) or prepping for first-day photos with a hydrating hair mask, we’re here for it, and we hope you are too.
