Rihanna at an Ulta beauty store for the launch of Fenty Beauty

It’s been a good few weeks in the beauty world thanks to Ulta Beauty. For starters, just last month Rihanna confirmed that Fenty Beauty was officially joining the Ulta Beauty family. And the blessings just keep on coming, this time with the arrival of the Ulta 21 Days of Beauty sale, happening now. The much anticipated three-week long bi-annual sale commenced on Monday, March 14 and will conclude on Saturday, April 2. The savings event offers major discounts on select best-selling items in the store. The sale leaves no category untouched — you can score deals on everything from makeup to skin care to fragrance, and more.

Each day new offers are unlocked, with the retailer taking 50% off a different selection of items. You pretty much have 24 hours to secure the deal, otherwise it’s gone forever. Each day is totally different and the curated collection of brands is top shelf. One day you can get a discounted KVD tattoo eyeliner and the next, the Peter Thomas Roth Hyaluronic Cloud Moisturizer for a steal. Other top brands that made the list are Urban Decay, Tarte, and IT Cosmetics, and many more cult-favorites.

Ahead catch a glimpse of the best discounted products (as well as what week you can snag the deal).

We at TZR only include products that have been independently selected by our editors. We may receive a portion of sales if you purchase a product through a link in this article

Week 1

Cosrx snail mucin

Cosrx Advanced Snail 96 Mucin Power Essence

This cult-favorite essence is already affordable, but here’s your chance to get it for even less. It contains 96% snail mucin that, in addition to hyaluronic acid, plumps your skin with a massive surge of moisture.

Elemis Pro-Collagen Marine Cream

Elemis Pro-Collagen Marine Cream

This popular anti-wrinkle moisturizer has a lightweight gel-cream texture that’s ideal for every day. Thanks to powerful marine and plant actives your skin will feel hydrated, firmer, and more radiant with regular use.

targets uneven skin tone and texture

Dermalogica PowerBright Dark Spot Serum

This advanced serum is meant to target the appearance of hyperpigmentation and protect against pollution-induced dark spots within just seven days ( but it continues to work over time). It’s one of the pricer items on the list at $95 originally, so that under $50 price point feels like a steal.

Week 2:

a dual-ended brow tint that delivers the precision of microblading

Urban Decay Brow Blade Waterproof Eyebrow Pencil and Ink Stain

If you want brows that don’t budge, this waterproof pencil is it. The ink stain formula creates high-definition brows that rival the results of microblading — it’s a top-seller for a reason.

A buildable, creamy formula

Jaclyn Cosmetics

Jaclyn Cosmetics Poutspoken Liquid Lipstick

Not only does this liquid lipstick deliver high-pigment color, it’s also incredibly creamy and long-wearing. The buildable formula comes in 21 shades, from light to dark, and it even has a cake batter scent. Luckily, you can scoop up two for the price of one.

Can be a full-coverage foundation or tinted moisturizer

It Cosmetics CC+ Cream Illumination SPF 50+

This versatile CC cream can be worn as a full-coverage foundation or a tinted moisturizer. It’s infused with skin care ingredients like collagen, hyaluronic acid, peptides, and antioxidants that boosts elasticity and improve skin barrier function. It’s also got SPF 50+, so it covers all your bases.

Week 3:

A vegan pressed setting powder that instantly blurs the look of fine lines

bareMinerals Mineral Veil Pressed Setting Powder

This lightweight pressed powder is the perfect last step for makeup. Not only does the soft-matte finish extend the wear time, it also uses cacao, shea butter, and vitamin E to condition skin and defend against environmental stressors.

Non-greasy, cream-to-water SPF 45 sunscreen

Peter Thomas Roth

Peter Thomas Roth Water Drench Hyaluronic Cloud Moisturizer

Unlike other formulas, this non-greasy, cream-to-water SPF leaves an invisible shield on your skin. It’s made with a potent 30% hyaluronic acid complex, so it’s an ideal choice for all skin types — especially dry skin. It’s rarely on sale, but can be yours for just $26.

contains tiny microfibers that help create natural-looking fullness and definition

Benefit Cosmetics

Benefit Cosmetics Gimme Brow and Tinted Volumizing Eyebrow Gel
