THIS WEEK'S ULTA 21 DAYS OF BEAUTY FINDS
And what to know about my fave biannual beauty sale.
Almost nothing makes me happier than an Ulta Beauty.
My love for them is boundless—so abundant that my debit card sees their checkout page before it sees my student loan payments. Sorry Sallie Mae.
So imagine my delight when I discovered Ulta Beauty has a 21 Days of Beauty sale.
For shopping fiends like myself, it’s a shopping event akin to Black Friday and Amazon Prime Day: the optimal time to refill your empties and splurge on deals you wouldn’t normally indulge in.
As an avid Ulta Beauty buyer, with the Rewards Points to verify it, an event this big calls for a glimpse into what’s on sale. Now is your chance to restock your favorite beauty and skincare products.
Here’s everything you need to know.
WHAT IS ULTA BEAUTY’S 21 DAYS OF BEAUTY?
The 21 Days of Beauty event is a multi-day, biannual sale where selected products are marked half off each day. That’s right. 50% off on your favorite beauty items.
HOW LONG WILL THE SALE LAST?
From March 6 until March 26, the retailer will have a different set of markdowns for the 21 Days of Beauty. What’s half off on Monday won’t be half off on Tuesday. You can check which items are, and will be, discounted on their website.
