Ulta's 21 Days of Beauty is finally here, and I'm shopping these 10 best deals
It's time to replenish your skin care and makeup stock. Ulta's 21 Days of Beauty Event finally kicked off today, dropping daily deals on beauty galore. It's no measly discount either: We're talking a whopping 50% off. For the first time, select savings last all week long rather than expiring at the end of every day, giving ample time to load up your cart.
To give you a jump on this week's offerings, I rounded up the 10 best beauty deals at Ulta, including brands like Tarte, Olaplex, Supergoop! and more. Just note that the monthlong event ends on March 27, so shop while you can.
Olaplex No.8 Bond Intense Moisture Damage Repair Hair Mask Treatment
Hairstylists swear by this overnight beauty product for treating damaged hair. The brand is best known for its bond-building formulas, helping repair hair while adding moisture and shine as you snooze.
Supergoop! Every. Single. Face. Watery Lotion SPF 50
Supergoop! SPF has gathered quite a cult following. This milky formula was formulated for all skin types and tones to lend a refreshing texture that dries into a non-greasy finish. Add it to your skin care routine for as low as $17.
First Aid Beauty KP Bump Eraser Body Scrub With 10% AHA Fresh Peach
Since rocketing to viral fame, the KP Bump eraser has played a crucial role in my shave routine. Its combo of glycolic and lactic acids gently exfoliates my sensitive skin, reducing the appearance of strawberry skin. I find that it extends my shave too.
BaBylissPRO Professional High-Speed Dual Ionic Dryer
Slashed by $100 off, this hair dryer hails from the reliable, tried-and-true hair dryer brand, BaByliss. Its ionic tech has impressed in past models, minimizing the appearance of frizz with less heat.
Tarte Lights, Camera, Lashes Platinum Volumizing Mascara
I've yet to find the perfect mascara, but this one is certainly a winning favor. It amps up lash volume in just a few swipes. I also appreciate that it comes in fun, chrome packaging that's easy to spot in makeup bags.
Tula 24-7 Moisture Hydrating Day and Night Cream
Dry skin can find a hydrating savior with Tula's everyday moisturizer. Its formula of peptides, squalane and hyaluronic acid work in tandem to draw moisture to your skin barrier. While it's usually a spendy buy of nearly $60, we can't resist this discount.
Kitsch Satin Pillowcase
Tame bedhead and fall into a luxurious sleep with this $10 satin pillowcase from Kitsch. I've influenced many people to snag the brand's heatless curlers because of their gentle material on hair, and I can only imagine its pillowcases uphold that rep.
Benefit Cosmetics Gimme Brow+ Tinted Volumizing Eyebrow Gel
One of the first eyebrow beauty products I ever used to tame and style my hair heralded from Benefit Cosmetics. The Gimme Brow is a classic that delivers a natural tint time after time.
Nars Afterglow Liquid Blush
One of our favorite blush for mature skin just dropped in price during Ulta's sale. Add a natural-looking flush to cheeks, choosing from nine versatile pigments like browns, plums, reds and pinks. Though, you can't go wrong with the fan-favorite shade Orgasm.
Anastasia Beverly Hills Beauty Balm Serum Boosted Skin Tint
This beauty balm has revolutionized BB creams with a design that's the first of its kind. It's made with the skin care and makeup ingredients you'd typically find in a skin tint — but in stick form. It comes in 16 shades that blend out into a natural finish. Every spring and fall, I mark my calendar for Ulta's 21 Days of Beauty event because it brings more than 250 noteworthy markdowns on recognizable beauty brands and Ulta employee favorites. The savings are scattered across every category too, so you can revamp your skin care, hair care and makeup routines. It's also one of the best sales from the retailer. For example, Ulta's last sale, Wellness Week, brought only 30% off select skin care items.
Armed with years of experience testing and reviewing beauty products, plus expertise covering sales on said picks, our deals editor Jacqueline Saguin curated a list of only the best makeup, skin care, hair care and fragrance deals for your wallet, mostly including those products other Underscored editors buy themselves.

Bella Hadid's Perfume Brand, ‘Ôrebella, Made Me A Compliments Magnet
All linked products are independently selected by our editors. If you purchase any of these products, we may earn a commission. As a self-proclaimed fragrance obsessive, it's rare for a new perfume brand to grab (and hold) my attention — and even rarer when it's fronted by a celebrity. That's not to say there aren't gems: Kylie Jenner's Cosmic 2.0 and Eilish by Billie Eilish have both been mistaken for far more expensive designer scents on me. Most of the time, though, they all smell… kind of identical. But 'Ôrebella, dreamt up by the one and only Bella Hadid, is built different. Sure, there are the usual wearable notes (vanilla, jasmine, and rose), but alongside them are spicy cardamom, savory sea salt accord, and briny olive — elements I can't say appear in any of the perfumes in my current collection. If that's not unique enough, you can wear them — I mean really wear them — like skincare. Each of the four eau de parfums is designed to be shaken to activate, since they're formulated without alcohol. Alongside the essential oils that give each fragrance its potency, they're filled to the brim with moisturizing oils like shea, almond, and jojoba. It definitely takes the skin scent trend to a whole new level. Of course, you can spritz them onto your clothes, too, but be mindful that the high oil content might leave behind marks on certain fabrics. The brand's been around for a hot minute here in the US, holding it down at Ulta — but Miss Bella is really having a moment right now. I mean, have you seen her new hair color? Divine. But back to the fragrance. Beyond the milky elixir, the geode-inspired bottle (which doesn't stand upright on its own; you'll need a separate stand, at an additional cost, if you want to display it) is garnering a lot of attention. So I made it my mission to try every single perfume in 'Ôrebella's collection, and here's what I want everyone to know. This is a warm mug of milky masala chai, bottled, and hands down my favorite of all of Ôrebella's fragrances. Something about the soothing vanilla, spicy cardamom, and creamy guaiacwood makes it perfectly nuzzly and cosy, so much so, I love wearing it to bed. I'm convinced it sends me off to sleep faster. I wore it to a concert recently, where it's impossible not to get up close and personal with the other guests, and received a handful of compliments; one even wrote the name down in her phone immediately, it's that good. It makes sense. Nightcap was created by perfumer Clément Gavarry, the visionary who gave us Phlur, Kayali, and Chloé's most viral fragrances. 'Ôrebella Salted Muse Eau de Parfum, $72 Legendary French perfumer Jérôme Epinette, the nose behind multiple Noyz, Byredo, and Victoria Beckham fragrances, is the architect of Salted Muse. Described as a 'woody marine' scent, it blends sea salt accord with fig, sandalwood, and amber. At first spritz, it's invigoratingly fresh, not unlike CK One, with a nostalgic '90s feel. It doesn't lose that freshness as it dries down; instead, the green notes (fig, lavender, and olive tree accord) come to the fore. It's reminiscent of warm air drifting through a garden at golden hour, when everything smells a little more alive. What I love is the comforting warmth it leaves on the skin hours later — that'll be the all-encompassing amber. My partner and I fight over this fragrance — it's genderless. This one lasts longer than any other in 'Ôrebella's lineup. 'Ôrebella Window2Soul Eau de Parfum, $72 This is freshly showered skin, sun-dried laundry, and cool cotton sheets — though you wouldn't guess it from the long list of lush notes. Think vanilla-esque tonka bean, rich damask rose, and intoxicating jasmine. That's all balanced by a sprig of fresh mint and a squeeze of lemon, which cut through the richness and give it a clean, energizing lift. I love spritzing this on my neck and décolletage post-shower — it sets me up for the day. Better still, the moisturizing oils in the formula more or less double as a body serum. Genius. 'Ôrebella Blooming Fire Eau de Parfum, $72 I'm calling it: Blooming Fire will be summer's most viral scent. It captures that unmistakable feeling of spending all day at the beach, then heading back to the hotel, freshly showered, sitting on the balcony, waiting for your hair to dry while dipping into your snack haul. Sweet jasmine and Tahitian monoi — essentially gardenia petals soaked in coconut oil — give it a warm, sunscreen quality, while zingy bergamot adds freshness, and peppery clove evokes sun-drenched skin. As tempting as it is to bathe in this, I'm saving it for my upcoming vacations. Again, perfumer Clément Gavarry masterminded this one, and he has a special talent for creating the perfect skin scent. Phlur's Vanilla Skin and Peach Skin are just a few of his creations, but if you ask me, Blooming Fire trumps them. This story was originally published on Refinery29 UK.

Kyle Richards, 56, calls this dermatologist-approved tinted face sunscreen 'the absolute best'
Talk to any dermatologist, and they'll tell you how important it is to wear sunscreen. Not only does it prevent nasty burns, but it can help you avoid sunspots, fine lines and other signs of aging. Not thrilled by the idea of getting lotioned up every day? Sunscreen for your face has evolved a lot over the years. Thick, oily formulas have yielded to lightweight, silky moisturizers, and the best tinted sunscreens are designed to help smooth out your complexion. One top-seller, loved by Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Kyle Richards, is EltaMD UV Clear Tinted Face Sunscreen. In an Amazon Live shopping video, Richards shared a list of her vacation essentials while in Mexico with her daughters. She calls the sunscreen "the absolute best, best, best product." "Anywhere in the world, but especially on vacation, you know my favorite product I always talk about — everybody I know uses this," she says while holding up a bottle of the SPF 46. "I use the tinted one, so I start with this on my face before I go anywhere." She adds that "it feels really good on your skin." However, Richards also shares that she didn't always take care of her skin, and she has sun damage that "tortures" her. Now, she's making an effort to always wear sunscreen (she also loves this one by Supergoop!) and says she wants her girls to learn from her mistakes. EltaMD UV Clear Tinted Face Sunscreen is formulated for those with sensitive skin who may be prone to acne, rosacea and hyperpigmentation. It contains niacinamide, which can keep excess oil production in check and make pores appear smaller. The oil-free zinc oxide SPF comes in three levels: SPF 40, SPF 46 or SPF 50. You can wear it under your makeup or on its own, like a light foundation, thanks to its subtle tint. A pump makes it easier to dispense what you need, so you're not repeatedly sticking your fingers into a jar. "I love this stuff!" wrote one of the 15,000-plus five-star Amazon shoppers. "It's non-drying and doesn't break me out! I was recommended it by my dermatologist. Also, I love the that it is tinted to give a little bit of a light makeup look without the effort." "Best SPF ever for oily skin!" wrote another fan. "I have tried countless SPFs for the face and they always end up leaving my face greasy and sliding into my eyes, which stings. A dermatologist recommended this brand to me and it has been the best thing ever! It actually absorbs in my skin with zero grease and I forget it's even on. Makeup goes on perfectly on top." "It's a savior for my sensitive eyes," said a final reviewer. "I've struggled with sunblocks that irritate my eyes, but this one is gentle and doesn't cause any burning or discomfort. I should also mention that I have oily skin, and this sunblock has been a true hero in controlling shine. ... The only drawback is its size and price. It's a tad small, and I wish it came in a larger container. But, quality often comes at a price, and I'm more than willing to invest in something that works wonders for my skin." The tinted sunscreen comes in only one shade, so it may be harder to blend on darker skin tones. If the tint doesn't work for you, good news: There's also a clear formula. The reviews quoted above reflect the most recent versions at the time of publication. If you have Amazon Prime, you'll get free shipping, of course. Not yet a member? No problem. You can sign up for your free 30-day trial here. (And by the way, those without Prime still get free shipping on orders of $25 or more.)
