What is Ulta Beauty’s 21 Days of Beauty Event?
The 21 Days of Beauty Event is a three-week-long sale that happens twice a year. Each day brings with it new savings on 2–5 skincare, haircare, or makeup products, often to the tune of 50% off. The deals only last for 24 hours, so be sure to act fast when you see something you have to have.
Ulta 21 Days of Beauty Event Changes
This year, the 21 Days of Beauty sale is getting a "glow up" according to Ulta. It is now the Semi-Annual Beauty Event and that's not all that's changing. Every day there will be a larger selection of beauty products on sale, including for the first time ever hair care and tools. Instead of 4 or 5 Daily Beauty Steals, there will be more like 8 to 10.
Ulta is also not releasing the full calendar of deals at the beginning of the sale. Instead it will release a week's worth of deals at a time. The sale starts on Friday, March 8, and the first week of Beauty Steals was released in a special preview on Sunday, March 3. Check Ulta's website every Wednesday for the new slate of deals that will start every Friday.
Hot Tip: You can find some of these Ulta 21 Days of Beauty deals at Target, and depending on the deal, they might even price match it. Plus, if you’re a Target Red Card holder you can earn 5% back and get free shipping on these items.
