Hair
There are plenty of hair tools on sale at Ulta right now, but this one is tried, tested and one of my favorites. I have long, thick and curly hair. But when I dry my locks with this volumizer, I get a salon-type blowout that I can rock in any weather. I pair it with some heat protectant and a shine finish for a polished and perfect look.
The first thing that stood out to me about this sale are the haircare deals. Select shampoos from Biolage, Redken, Joico and Fekkai are now as low as $15. With Fekkai, you save up to 50% on over a handful of different products like its apple cider detox rinse conditioning detangler for $15 (save $13).
One of my favorite brands, Biolage, is offering $23 shampoos and conditioners for just $15. If you have some color in your hair, consider going for the color-balancing shampoo and conditioner that Joico is offering for $15 (save $8).
There are also huge sales on hair treatments from Drybar, Bumble and IGK; buy-one-get-one-free Baptiste products; buy-one-get-one-free on Not Your Mother's products; buy-one-get-one 40% off Shea Moisture products; and 50% off Hot Tools curling irons.
Skin
It doesn't get more luxurious than Lancome. Treat your skin to some soft, milky and cleansing goodness with this Galatee Confort comforting milky creme cleanser. Usually it's $54 but you can grab it for $27. If you spend $42 in Lancome products you can get a beauty box for $75, or get a free rose quartz roller when you spend $99 on skin care purchases.
Skincare products from IT Cosmetics are now 40% off at Ulta. That includes cleansers, overnight creams, eye creams and more. You'll also get 40% off all of Kylie Skin, Wella products and Juice Beauty. Select products at Derma E are 50% off, while products from The Body Shop, Kopari, No7 are 30% off.
I recently picked up a Bliss Disappearing Act primer that keeps my makeup in place all day without drying my face out and I love it. Check out Bliss's Bright Idea vitamin C and tri-peptide brightening serum for $21 (save $7) and the Glow & Hydrate niacinamide and hyaluronic serum for $17 (save $5).
Makeup
The name of the brand says it all: ColourPop really adds a splash of color to whatever makeup you're putting on. I especially love their eyeshadow palettes. The eyeshadows will apply like a cream to your eyelids and the colors will last all day. A lot of ColourPop palettes are now just $7 (save $7), not just this one.
There are loads of makeup deals here, including 50% off ColourPop eyeshadow palettes. You'll also grab 50% off Morphe palettes and have dozens of colors at your fingertips for just $14 a piece (save $13). Select Too Faced products, EcoTools products, Ulta Beauty Collections and J.Cat Beauty products are all 50% off.
At 40% off, you'll find steals from Juvia's Place, Kylie Cosmetics and Makeup Revolution. Grab 30% off all Covergirl products, select Pacifica products and all of Undone Beauty.
Fragrance
I took a chance when I bought this little roller ball, having never even heard of the brand before taking a whiff of the perfume inside. But I liked it immediately and found out soon enough that this fragrance lasts for a while on your skin. I like it because it can easily fit into my bags if I feel like I need a re-up and it's the perfect travel size. A little goes a long way with this rollerball.
While these beauty and makeup deals will have you looking good, you can also smell good and save some money. Grab a two-piece Carolina Herrera perfume mini gift set for $35 or two Yves Saint Laurent mini fragrances for $30.
Other Yves Saint Laurent fragrances along with Armani perfumes and colognes are now 40%, but those deals are online-only. Nemat oils are also 25% off during this sale.
If you spend $65 or more on fragrance products, you can get a free plush robe or luxury throw while supplies last.
