Friends, before we start, I’m going to give you a quick minute to grab your wallet, your wine, send your partner to bed and put a metaphorical ‘do not disturb’ light on because it’s that time again…
The Adore Beauty Afterpay Day sale (also known as the ‘best Afterpay Day beauty sale Australia’) is here!
From Tuesday 12th March 12.01AM until Monday 18th March 11.59PM save up to 40% on over 110 of your favourite and most iconic beauty brands across haircare, makeup and skincare.
If you want to see everything that's on sale, we've housed it all
for you here.
But as always, to kick things off (and so you don’t spiral into a panic about where the heck to actually start because you’re distracted by, well - everything) I asked some of my fellow Adore Beauty staffers (the people in the know) what they’re adding to cart from our epic Adore Beauty Afterpay Day sale!
From one of the best and most affordable niacinamide serums to a jumbo sized body lotion that's less than $20 this is what we're buying.
Happy shopping!
1. La Roche-Posay Hyalu B5 Hyaluronic Acid Anti-Ageing Serum.

Was $74.95, now $59.96.
Why I'm adding it to cart:
I once remember saying I don't need a standalone hyaluronic acid.
Well the beauty gods laughed in my face because in the last month I've noticed increased creasing under my eyes as well as dryer cheeks and pretty sure it's due to dehydration.
For this reason I am swiftly adding the La Roche-Posay Hyalu B5 Hyaluronic Acid Anti-Ageing serum to cart and also never making bold statements like that again.
2. CeraVe Daily Moisturising Lotion (473ml).

Was $23.00, now $19.19.
Why I'm adding it to cart:
Taylor Swift works hard but the CeraVe Daily Moisturising Lotion works harder.
It is single-handedly responsible for transforming my dry, scaly legs and while on sale, it only makes sense to pick up the 473ml because, why wouldn't I get the jumbo size on sale? Duh.
3. Sulwhasoo First Care Activating Serum.

Was $119, now $95.20.
Why I'm adding it to cart:
I always treat myself to at least one bougie product during every sale, and this time it’s going to be from amazing K-Beauty brand Sulwhasoo.
I wish it wasn’t bougie so I could stock up every few months, it’s really *that* good and seriously one of the best products for glowy, radiant skin (
see and read how it made my skin look here).
So while I can save some dollars, I’ll be splurging on this best-selling serum that’s now powered by the Sulwhasoo MASTER COMPLEX™ (fast-absorbing, hydrates, nourishes and gives you more supple, glassy, luminous skin).
4. Dermalogica Daily Milkfoliant.

Was $109, now $77.68.
Why AB Staffer Maisha is adding this to cart:
"The Dermalogica Daily Microfoliant is great for exfoliating dead skin and leaves my skin looking radiant.
Plus, as someone with sensitive skin, I usually steer clear of physical exfoliants, but this is one of the few I can use without irritating my skin."
5. Benefit Brow Microfilling Pen.

Was $48 now $38.40.
Why AB Staffer Megan is adding this to cart:
"My top pick is the Benefit Microfilling Brow pen! It gives the PERFECT amount of pigment to the brow without looking unnatural. This is a brow must-have for me!”
6. Prada Paradoxe EDP.

Was $280, now $238.
Why AB Staffer Jas is adding it to cart:
"As we transition to cooler months, it’s time for a fresh fragrance.
I was fortunate enough to get my hands on a travel-sized version of Prada Paradoxe late last year, which I spritzed silly through the holiday season.
It’s such a gorgeous scent–soft but not too feminine, warm and comforting, long-lasting and a bit sexy.
I’m also obsessed with the bottle and think it’ll sit pretty on my bathroom vanity. And with 10% off, it would be rude not to!”
7. Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk Glow Blush.

Was $72, now $61.20.
Why AB Staffer Jas is adding it to cart:
"As for my makeup kit, I’ve had my eyes on the Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk Glow Blush for quite some time, particularly the shade 'Euphoria' –a beautiful bubblegum pink with an iridescent finish.
I’m in my minimal makeup era right now, and this silky pressed blush looks perfect for giving my cheeks a natural flush, but can also be built up to suit fuller-coverage looks."
8. NYX Professional Makeup Duck Plump Lip Gloss.

Was $23.99, now $16.79.
Why AB Staffer Ally is adding it to cart:
"I've got my eyes on the NYX Professional Makeup Duck Plump Lip Gloss in shade 'Cherry Spice' this Afterpay Day.
I'm obsessed with the OG Nyx Fat Oil Lip Drip so this would be perfect for those days I want a little extra oomph and plumpness to my lips."
9. AB LAB by Adore Beauty Dewy-C Enzymatic Cleansing Balm.

Was $40, now $32.
Why AB Staffer Madison is adding it to cart:
"I need a top up of my AB Lab Dewy-C Cleansing Balm! It’s my all time favourite cleanser because it’s so soft and melts away makeup perfectly."
10. Viviology Niacinamide + HA Serum.

Was $55, now $44.
Why AB Staffers Maddy B and Cass are adding it to cart:
"A sale is the perfect time to top up your stash of everyday must-haves, and for me that's the Viviology Niacinamide + HA Serum!"- Maddy B.
"I have had the Viviology Niacinamide + HA Serum in my wishlist for weeks. I'm obsessed with any hydrating products, but this with love for the barrier is going straight to cart." - Cass.
11. K18 Leave-In Molecular Repair Mask.

Was $99.95, now $84.95.
Why I'm adding it to cart:
I mean one of the most popular (and unfortunately for my bank account one of the more expensive) hair treatments on sale? Adding to cart is a must especially on the backend of summer after all the ocean swims and UV rays has really dried out my strands.
I need a quick, effecive and high-performing treatment and this is it.
12. Redken Acidic Bonding Concentrate Leave in Lotion.

Was $53 now $42.40.
Why AB Staffer Emily is adding it to cart:
"Redken Acidic Bonding Concentrate Leave in does the most wonderful job of repairing and strengthening my bleached hair!
It also works as a heat protectant and adds a beautiful shine (plus it smells amazing, bonus) adding straight into my cart this Afterpay Day!"
13. Yves Saint Laurent Black Opium Red EDP.

Was $212, now $180.20.
Why AB Staffer Ira is adding it to cart:
"I am a fan of Black Opium and am totally falling for the cherry trend at the moment, so I would like to personally thank YSL for creating a perfume especially for me. It smells so delicious and irresistible.”
14. Juliette Has A Gun Lust for Sun EDP.

Was $169, now $135.20.
Why AB Staffer Jess is adding it to cart:
"Summer might be over in Melbourne, but I'm holding on to any warmness as much as I can.
This means adding the gorgeous Juliette Has A Gun Lust for Sun fragrance to cart so I can carry that summery, fruity and vanilla scent that lingers on the skin with me wherever I go."
