Whenever Violet Grey's epic Memorial Day sale rolls around, I feel like I also need to post a warning: Proceed with caution. Because for anyone who gets frothy at the mouth for the luxurious, crème de la crème beauty must-haves that editors, celebrities, makeup artists, and skin experts go gaga for, the site becomes borderline dangerous for your doorstep's package-bearing capacity.

Friends, get excited, because this year's installment, the Put It in the Bag Event, is here, and the deals are better than ever. From May 25 to May 31 you'll receive a whopping 20% off select VG favorites (we're talking over 100 of their industry-coveted brands), and if you spend $500 or more, you'll also score one of Violet Grey's cult-loved makeup bags while supplies last. 

I'm keeping this short and sweet because you have urgent beauty shopping to get to, but for added inspiration, we're sharing the exceptional products celebrities love (taken courtesy of Violet Grey's fab new Shop Their Bag series), skin and makeup experts love, and we as beauty editors love. Stretch your thumbs, grab some caffeine (or hey, even some bubbly), and let the treat-yourself sale shopping commence!

Beauty Director

Erin has been writing a mix of beauty and wellness content forBest Knockoff Luxury Clothing for over four years. Prior to that, she spent two and half years writing for Byrdie. She now calls Santa Monica home but grew up in Minnetonka, Minnesota, and studied writing, rhetoric, and communication at University of Wisconsin, La Crosse. She studied abroad in Galway, Ireland, and spent a summer in L.A. interning with the Byrdie andBest Knockoff Luxury Clothing family. After graduating from UW, she spent one year in San Francisco, where she worked as a writer for Pottery Barn Kids and PBteen before moving down to L.A. to begin her career as a beauty editor. She considers her day-to-day beauty aesthetic very low-maintenance and relies on staples like clear brow serum (from Kimiko!), Lawless's Lip Plumping Mask in Cherry Vanilla, and an eyelash curler. For special occasions or days when she's taking more meetings or has an event, she'll wear anything and everything from Charlotte Tilbury (the foundations are game-changing), some shimmer on her lids (Stila and Róen do it best), and a few coats of the best mascara-type product on earth, Surratt's Noir Lash Tint.
