Sure, there are the twelve days of Christmas and the 31 Nights of Halloween on TV—but the most exciting several-days-long-fest is Ulta’s 21 Days of Beauty sale. The beauty megastore has slashed hot-ticket skin-care and makeup products to fifty percent off, and every day there are new sales to feast on.
As you’d guess, the Ulta sale is literally 21 days of add-to-cart fun (we’re already on day three). And alongside the perk of scoring beauty products at a way lower price than usual is the fact that Ulta’s also dropping new product launches throughout the event and offering mixing and matching options.
The actual rundown is as follows: There are 50 percent off deals on select products every single day (it differs by the day), buy two, get one free minis with skin care, makeup, and hair care products, and a weekly beauty deal where you’re able to get the lowest prices on the Ulta Beauty Collection. My beauty-dedicated self is quite honestly overwhelmed. So since the 21-day sale extravaganza is so major and jam-packed with goodies, I’ve parsed through the whole selection to share my absolute favorite steals for you to take advantage of as you shop. Ready to get adding to cart? Keep scrolling for the 10 best buys at Ulta’s 21 Days of Beauty sale.
