We're excited about beauty and fashion sample sales (designer dresses for $75!), plus a super steal on makeup brushes.

• Space NK Sample Sale: The cult beauty brand (maker of one of this editor's favorite fragrances!) is hosting their big, semi-annual sample sale starting tomorrow, through July 30th. Deal-hunters can count on up to 75% off discontinued and current products from the likes of Deborah Lippmann, Tocca, and Lipstick Queen. Get to the Soho flagship at 99 Greene Street in Manhattan tomorrow between 11 a.m. and 8 p.m. or shop Friday and Saturday from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. No RSVP necessary.

See more info on their site and mark down the address: 325 West 38th St., Penthouse, New York, NY.

• Turning Dessert Into Candles: If you've ever sniffed a sugary sweet candle and thought it was almost good enough to eat, it turns out you might not be that far off base. Bath & Body Works and Slatkin & Co. allowed contestants to submit dessert recipes for the chance to have it turned into a limited edition candle, and the winning dishes have been announced! Expect scents like Strawberry Pistachio Delight, Tropical Tangerine Cake, and Maple Sticky Toffee Pudding this holiday season. The contest isn't over yet, though, and viewers can help decide which grand prize winner will travel to see their dessert be turned into wax and wick. See videos, info, and vote here (voting starts August 9). There's something in it for voters, too—five will win a year's supply of candles!
