Every time this event rolls around, I whip out my calendar and begin my game plan. It’s one of the best blowouts out of any retailer, and it requires careful consideration. Yes, I’m talking about Ulta Beauty’s 21 Days of Beauty September 2020 event, in which unbelievable deals on beauty products drop daily for three weeks. I’m talking bestsellers and new products from brands including Tarte, Anastasia Beverly Hills, Benefit Cosmetics and so much more. Many of the offerings are Ulta Beauty exclusives, which means you can’t snag them anywhere else. Whether you’re beauty-obsessed or a casual shopper, there’s no better time to drop your coins.
This year, the stakes are high. Like the previous 21 Days of Beauty events, each day features a treasure trove of different brands or specific products, so you’ll want to strategize exactly what and when to shop. If you’ve been dying for a pampering blowout, you might want to sit down, because the sale includes salon services. I think we could all stand to feel like a million bucks (while spending much less) right now.
Here’s how to dominate 21 Days of Beauty: be diligent about reading every last deal outlined below. Pay attention to whether the deals are in-store or online — and don’t forget, you can also select curbside pickup for a socially-distanced shopping haul. Make sure you download the Ulta Beauty app, too; you won’t to sleep on the opportunity to earn those points. In the app you can also virtually try on makeup in the GLAMlab before you add the steals to your cart. Check back here for any surprise updates, as we’ll update this article throughout the event, which runs from August 30 to September 19.
It’s time to kiss summer goodbye and cruise into fall with the ultimate beauty haul.
Our mission at STYLECASTER is to bring style to the people, and we only feature products we think you’ll love as much as we do. Please note that if you purchase something by clicking on a link within this story, we may receive a small commission of the sale.
