Soon we'll be packing away our swimsuits and sandals and bringing out the Fall sweaters and socks. But because breaking up with Summer is always hard to do, Ulta Beauty is here to make the transition a little easier.
Starting today, the retailer is dropping a huge sale, just in time for your end-of-season beauty refresh. From now until Sept. 2, you can pick up a slew of hair, makeup, and skincare products for as much as half off the regular price. To help you sift through the sale, we've rounded up our top picks from the shopping event ahead. We apologize to your bank account in advance.
ICYMI: Urban Decay's Naked Eye Shadow Palette ($27, originally $54) is being discontinued, so get it now while it's cheap.
Putting on this Tea Tree face mask from The Body Shop ($14, originally $17) will be like hitting the reset button on your skin. It'll absorb unwanted oil and sop up dirt from your pores.
If your skin is on the drier side when transitioning from Summer to Fall, keep Julep Love Your Bare Face Hydrating Cleansing Oil ($22, originally $28) handy. It's packed with rosehip, grapeseed, and olive oil to cleanse and hydrate.
Scrub off dead Summer skin with the Bliss Hot Salt Scrub Body Polish ($17, originally $20).
There's no better time to stock up on dry shampoo than when it's on sale. Pick up a bottle (or three) of Hask's Coconut Dry Shampoo ($6, originally $8). It'll leave your hair lightweight, oil-free, and smelling like coconuts.
To define your curls, use Sebastian's Twisted Curl Styling Cream ($10, originally $19). It'll enhance your natural curl pattern without making your hair feel crunchy.
Two nail polishes are better than one, so get the Sally Hansen Miracle Gel Twin Pack ($8, originally 16), which comes with your color and top coat in one.
A shimmer eye shadow palette is an essential part of any makeup collection. The Beauty by POPSUGAR Dawn Palette ($25, originally $42) has a variety of matte, satin, and shimmer shades so you can create different looks. The Twilight Palette is also on sale and has deep burgundy shades that are perfect for Fall.
Eva's NYC Mane Magic 10-in-1 Primer ($9, originally $12) is hairstyling magic in a bottle. It'll smooth, detangle, soften, shine, and protect from heat with just a few sprays.
Right now, lipsticks from the MAC x Aaliyah collection are on sale ($11, originally $19). The collection is limited-edition, so stock up on the collectible items while you can.
Sun is still in the forecast, meaning there's still a reason to spray on Smashbox + Vlada Petal Metal Shimmer Spray ($29, originally $39). The featherweight mist will leave a luminous coat of rose gold shimmer that'll catch all the light.
The H2O Beauty Oasis Hydrating Treatment Water-Gel Moisturizer ($29, originally $38) is packed with hydrating water lily extract to help your skin retain moisture for hours.
