The first ever Ulta Semi-Annual Beauty Event officially kicks off tomorrow, which means you can get up to 50 percent off products in every category — from makeup and skin care to hair care, body care, and fragrance. Mark your calendars accordingly, and maybe set an alarm or two because these sell out fast. If you’re impatient (same), you can preview some of the major items that will be on sale below and maybe even add them to your cart.
What is the Ulta Semi-Annual Beauty Event?
The beauty retailer’s much-anticipated event is essentially a 21-day sale featuring tons of deals and steals on best-selling items. New discounts will be released every day, and you’ll have a limited time to take advantage of each one. Every Wednesday during the event, Ulta will drop a preview of the following week’s deals (both in-store and online). Make sure to sign up for Ulta Beauty emails or download the app to stay in the loop.
