Black Friday and Cyber Monday are a dream for anyone looking to score major deals just ahead of the holidays. And, when it comes to beauty, let’s be clear: Ulta Beauty Black Friday deals deliver. The fan-favorite retailer is going above and beyond in 2020 to make shoppers not only swoon for 24 hours, but a full week. From Sunday, November 22 to Saturday, November 28, Ulta is offering shoppers two sets of sales including awesome deals from some of our favorite makeup, skin-care, hair-care, and fragrance brands. While dozens of items are drastically marked down, we rounded up our 10 favorite deals from each sale. Check them out below.

W+G Tip: Ulta recently launched its Conscious Beauty initiative, which is designed to help shoppers make more conscious beauty decisions for themselves, their loved ones, and the environment. Each certified product is measured across five pillars: clean ingredients, cruelty-free, vegan, sustainable packaging, and positive impact. With this in mind, we’ve marked the beauty deals that are part of this eco-friendly program.
