I’m a Shopping Editor and These Are the Labor Day Sales That Don’t Actually Suck

Lest I remind you: AirPods are currently the cheapest they’ve ever been. Just saying—it’s the perfect time to grab a pair as an early gift ahead of the most wonderful (and the most hectic) time of year. Or, if you’re that person who’s lost their fourth pair and has been putting off dropping $$ on new ones… now’s your moment.

Ahem, one of my all-time favorite laser hair removal devices is steeply discounted (like, 70% off—casual). Investing in this will save you from those extra annoying 10 minutes in the shower, hand-shaving every last stubborn strand off your legs, and spending thousands on professional treatments. I don’t know about you, but that sounds like the dream to me!

As a big-time New Balance sneaker fanatic, I can say with my whole chest: it’s rare to see these marked down. But the universe is on our side, besties, because these beauties (and a slew of other cool styles) are on sale at Foot Locker right now. The way you’re about to catch me wearing these nonstop…

Screaming because not only are these trousers nearly 70% off, but when you use the code LONGWEEKEND, you can get an extra 40% off of them. And this goes for most sale items on Madewell’s site! BRB while I go and fill up my cart.

A bundle like this from Charlotte Tilbury for this low of a price? Yeah, I’m 100 percent sold. The set includes three of the brand’s bestsellers: Charlotte’s Magic Cream Moisturizer, Charlotte’s Beautiful Skin Foundation, and AIRbrush Flawless Setting Spray.

When you see a top-rated LED light therapy mask for over $100 off, you click “add to cart” with zero hesitation. The girlies know! And this viral one from Solawave—designed to smooth and brighten skin—is that mask. Plus, it includes the LightBoost Face & Neck Serum to help work its magic.

Did someone say diamonds? Coming right up! These darling staple earrings pair perfectly with literally everything.

Although Reformation isn’t running an official LDW sale, its sale section right now is a goldmine. I spotted this gorgeous belted dress that’s currently 70% off—and yes, it’s as good as it sounds.

Hands down, Brooklinen has some of the comfiest bedding out there—and you can fight me on it. I’m giving my bed a refresh for the new season with this striped duvet set.

This is your sign to finally treat yourself—or a loved one—to the ultimate Dyson dupe. The Shark FlexStyle is a game-changing multi-styler that delivers salon-worthy hair at home. Grab it while it’s still in stock!

I’ve tested more jeans than I can count, but MOTHER denim will always hold a special place in my heart. I’m obsessed with this flared pair that’s distressed at the hem. They work with everything, whether you’re keeping it casual with sneakers or dressing them up with flip-flop kitten heels.

The Havaianas resurgence is real—and if you didn’t know, now you do. Jennifer Lopez, Gigi Hadid, and Kylie Jenner are fans, and you can snag a pair for less than $20. Time to catch up!

Betcha didn’t know that Labor Day is when you should be shopping for a vibrator! I mean, let the price of this cutie clitoral stimulator speak for itself.

Okay, yes—this is definitely a splurge, but I promise it’s so worth it. With nearly $700 knocked off the original price tag, this super comfy, luxe leather couch is the kind of piece you’ll have for years to come. And we all know how expensive furniture can be, so you might as well grab it while it’s actually on sale!
