If the thought of shopping Amazon Prime Day deals, inadvertently supporting Jeff Bezos and helping fund his lavish wedding to Lauren Sánchez, makes you sick to your stomach, we don’t blame you. That’s why we rounded up all the best anti–Prime Day deals from slightly more ethical retailers such as Ulta, Ssense, and Nordstrom. Read on for the best Prime Day competitor sales on skin care, clothing, accessories, bedding, and more.

Ulta

Ulta is offering so many discounts on skin care, hair care, makeup, body care, sunscreen, fragrance, and more as part of its annual Summer Beauty Event, from June 29 through July 19. Deals include 40 percent off jumbo shampoo and conditioner sets, 50 percent off curling hair-friendly brands, $100 off Shark Beauty, 30 percent off skin-care tools and devices, and more. Even though they aren’t live just yet, here is what you can expect.

Ssense

Yes, the Ssense sale is still going strong, so if you haven’t taken time to shop all the deals, consider this your reminder (trust us, this one is worth it). Need some help navigating the hundreds of sale pages? We rounded up the best deals here so you don’t have to.

Nordstrom

The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale kicks off on July 12, but the deals are already rolling out. Take 60 percent off brands we love like Dries Van Noten, CO, Manola Blahnik, Thom Browne, Lafayette 148, and more during the retailer’s designer clearance sale, happening now.

Bloomingdale’s

The Bloomingdale’s designer sale features up to 50 percent off cocktail dresses for every summer soirée on your calendar, from weddings to garden parties.

Walmart

Walmart is offering 25 percent off La Roche-Posay products through June 28, plus hundreds of flash deals in every category. A high-quality steamer makes the getting-ready process so much easier, so I’m adding this handheld one that’s over 60 percent off (!) to my cart.

Net-a-Porter

Another designer fashion sale worth shopping is Net-a-Porter’s, featuring up to 60 percent off dresses, tops, jackets, accessories, and more. If you’re going on vacation, add these three items to your cart: Saint Laurent sunnies and a mesh coverup for a beach day, and a lightweight cropped Pucci sweater for dinner afterward.

SkinMedica

Get 20 percent off sitewide during the annual SkinMedica Anniversary Sale, ending tomorrow. My favorite treatment pads that work wonders on texture and large pores are under $50.

Brooklinen

We love a good Brooklinen sale, and this week, the bedding and home-goods retailer is offering 40 percent off all bundles. Whether you need new sheets, bath towels, or an entire bedding set, now is the time to stock up.
