It’s the final week of February, which means retailers are clearing out their winter inventory and trying to get customers excited for spring. Thus, the clearance bins are in a strange state of bikinis and puffer coats, spring denim and winter wool — but the deals are good on all of it. Below, I’ve pulled my favorite deals from Madewell, Hanna Andersson, Anthropologie, and more. But if you shop just one sale this weekend, make it Urban Outfitters. Nearly everything (including sale items) is 25 percent off for UO Rewards members, which is free to join with your email address. And Ssense’s sale section closes up shop this weekend, so I’d suggest taking a spin through it, since it will be a few months till we see a sale there again. 

This lovely green coupe is a reminder that sunny spring days spent on the patio will be back before we know it!

Basically every lash product at Ulta is 30 percent off through Saturday night. I wear Maybelline’s Lash Sensational mascara nearly every day — either in True Brown or Blue Mist — but am tempted to get Burgundy Haze or Space Diamond.

Medik8 is offering 25 percent off sitewide through February 23. The brand’s Crystal Retinal Serum is great for retinol beginners: Its hero ingredient is retinaldehyde, which fights wrinkles and fine lines without being too harsh on skin.
