Happy Friday! As you read this, I’m wandering the streets of NYC with baby in tow, stuffing as many bagels into my mouth as I can handle. Just kidding, I’ll limit my bagel intake to once a day 😉
I just wanted to give you a heads up that today is the last day of Ulta’s 21 Days of Beauty! I wrote a more extensive post at the beginning of the month talking about how Ulta is my favorite beauty retailer.
If you’ve never been to an Ulta, the store is divided in half where one side is drugstore products (your Maybelline’s and Covergirls) and the other side is high-end/high-street brands (It Cosmetics, Nars, M.A.C., etc). Then they also have the same set up for all things hair care, which also extends to beauty tools. It’s a really extensive selection all in one store. Basically take Sephora and Target, smash them together and you end up with Ulta. It’s fantastic.
Not to mention that they have a really great rewards program. As you shop, you rack up reward points that you can actually use towards later purchases. They also send out coupons regularly and occasionally those coupons can be used towards the high-end products that would normally never qualify towards additional discounts.
They also have added a ‘Natural Skincare’ category so you can easily search clean beauty specific items. It’s not as extensive as Sephora’s but I’m happy that they have it at all. Within the category, you can hone down by various skin complaints and/or needs.
I mention clean skincare because they are ending the 21 Days of Beauty with the motherload of a deal on clean skincare and other incredibly popular makeup. Just remember that these deals only last until quantities run out so set your alarms if there’s anything you need so you don’t miss these great deals.
Ulta’s 21 Days of Beauty Deals
Ok, so Ulta is going all out for the final day of 21 Days of Beauty. They have four exclusive 50% off deals for today and all of them are doozies.
Juice Beauty Moisturizer and Serum
This is the deal that I’ve been excited about the whole 21 days! Juice Beauty is a clean skincare brand that I’ve been interested to try but I’ve held off because of the price tag. The moisturizer is normally $70 and the serum is generally $80. Today only they are 50% off!
Urban Decay 24/7 Eyeliner
Another insanely popular product that is 50% off today. I’ve used this eyeliner in the past and have had good results. They are known for applying without any pulling or tugging. It comes in just about every color under the sun so you can get the rainbow for your eyes if you wanted.
Benefit Brow Pencil
This is one product that I personally haven’t tried. However everything from Benefit that I have tried, I’ve liked. And can we talk about their perfectly adorable packaging?! They always knock it out of the park.
Tarte Shape Tape Concealer
This is another holy-mother-I-can’t-believe-it’s-on-sale deal. Tarte Shape Tape concealer has been hugely popular since it was launched several years ago. I personally haven’t tried it but I’ve heard that it can hide some of your darkest secrets under-eye circles
OTHER HONORABLE MENTIONS AKA ‘HOT BUYS’
That’s Ulta’s name for this category not mine, FYI. So these ‘Hot Buys‘ are items that are on sale (up to 40% off) for the entire 21 days.
Lipstick Queen Shade Shifter Lipsticks – MK just turned me onto these. She has an entire blog post about these with pictures.
Better Than Sex Mascara – This is a massively popular mascara. It gives a TON of volume in a single swipe.
Urban Decay Minis – buy two, get one. I love these for travel
LORAC Pro 2 Palette – I have the Pro 1 Palette and the texture of these eyeshadows are amazing. So pigmented and soft and easy to use.
Juice Beauty Lipstick – clean lipstick for the win!
Boscia Cleanser and Mask – another clean beauty brand that I use and love! I’ve tried both of these and they are really nice. I’d say I like the cleanser better.
Until next time,
Ana Luiza
