While the coming months are a shopper’s paradise, those trying to snag deals in the beauty and wellness space should mark their calendars for Ulta Beauty’s Black Friday deals.
Last year, Ulta Beauty’s Holiday Blitz Sale operated a touch differently from other major retailers during Cyber weekend, offering a four-week-long sale with daily drops and discounts changing on a 24-hour cycle. And while that time period sounds fantastic, be warned that items can sell out fast — and that’s because the discounts are damn good.
Deals of up 50% were featured across beloved brands like Lancome, Viktor & Rolf, Urban Decay, Cerave, and Tarte Cosmetics. (We’re assuming the latter’s Shape Tape Full Coverage Concealer rings a few bells, and it was $20 as opposed to $31 last year.) Another discounted favorite was CeraVe’s Hydrating Cleanser, a Best of Beauty Award winner worthy of every accolade it’s received.
Heads up: We’re so excited to see what Ulta Beauty’s Black Friday deals look like. To reminisce however, here’s some of what was on sale last year and some goodies that are on sale now. Bookmark this page and check back daily to get your fill of discounted skin care, hair care, and makeup products. We’re more than happy to keep doing the research on your behalf — and shopping for ourselves along the way, of course.
