Buy one, get one 50% curl products
Pattern Leave-In Conditioner, $29
When: June 19 to July 11
Ulta’s BOGO curl deal is an easy way to stock up on everyday wash-day staples without breaking the bank. A few favorites worth getting excited about: Pattern’s Leave-In Conditioner, Isima’s Shakira-approved hydrating shampoos and conditioners, and Rizos Curls’ Defining Cream, all designed to support moisture, definition, and long-lasting curl shape without weighing hair down.
40% off jumbo hair care
Olaplex No.4 Bond Maintenance Strengthening, Hydrating Hair Repair Shampoo, $58 $46.40
When: June 19 to July 11
Jumbo-sized hair care from the likes of Redken, Olaplex, and Amika will be marked down by up to 40%. Summer activities can do a number on the hair, which is why we’re eyeing Olaplex’s No.4 Shampoo, which gently cleanses via mild, coconut-derived surfactants while making hair shinier, and easier to manage with every wash. (That’s the brand’s signature patented molecule at work, which repairs broken disulfide bonds for stronger, healthier hair.) With such a hefty discount, now’s the moment to snag a bottle (or two).
20% off Touchland
Touchland Power Mist Hydrating Hand Sanitizer, $10 $8
When: June 19 to July 4
With summer travel in full swing, now’s the perfect time to cart the essentials you’ll actually use. A 20%-off hand sanitizer is an easy add-to-cart, especially if you can snag it in your favorite scent. While you’re at it, toss in the brand’s hydrating Rosewater Glow Mist, which delivers a refreshing hit of moisture whenever your skin needs a pick-me-up, and finish with a scented body mist for a light-as-air fragrance refresh.
40% off select Urban Decay
Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-On Waterproof Eyeliner Pencil, $23 $13.80
When: June 19 to July 4
I’ve sworn by Urban Decay’s 24/7 Glide-On Eyeliner pencils since high school, and somehow, they’re still among the most-reached-for products in my makeup bag all these years later. The creamy, waterproof formula glides on without tugging and stays put for hours, making it easy to see why they’ve earned cult-favorite status. While everything is 40% off, I’m stocking up on my everyday shades and a few fun pops of color, plus other Urban Decay icons like the 24/7 Eyeshadows, Moondust Eyeshadows, and All Nighter primers.
$150 off SharkBeauty FlexStyle
Shark Beauty FlexStyle Air Styling & Drying System Orchid Sunrise, $349.99 $199.99
When: June 19 to July 11
Shark Beauty has released some of the most impressive hair tools in recent years, delivering salon-worthy results at a much friendlier price than that other viral brand (which, yes, is also on sale). With $150 off, this is the lowest price I’ve seen on the Shark FlexStyle, making it the perfect time to finally take the plunge. The versatile multi-styler dries, curls, smooths, and volumizes with interchangeable attachments, making it an excellent entry point into the brand — and one of the best beauty deals of the sale.
40% off select fragrances
Yves Saint Laurent Black Opium Eau de Parfum Glitter, $140 $80
When: June 19 to July 11
Select luxury scents are also 40% off throughout Ulta’s summer sale, including YSL’s iconic Black Opium, the addictive coffee-meets-white-floral fragrance now housed in a dazzling glitter-covered bottle. You’ll also find discounts on other designer favorites, including Armani My Way Intense and Armani Code, making it a great time to treat yourself or even get a head start on holiday gifting.
Up to 40% off select makeup
Too Faced Damn Girl! 24-Hour Volumizing Mascara, $30 $21
When: June 19 to July 11
If you’re a fan of Too Faced’s Better Than Sex Mascara, consider this your sign to give Damn Girl! a try. It delivers the same dramatic, lash-loving payoff with a whipped formula that builds impressive volume, lift, and curl for a dramatic, falsie-like effect. Beyond mascara, there are plenty of standout makeup deals to add to your cart, too, including the mini version of the internet-famous TIRTIR cushion compact, Nudestix’s SPF-infused blush, Lilly Lashes, and more.
30% off Half Magic
Half Magic Glitterpuck Pressed Glitter for Eyes, Face + Body, $32.50 $22.75
When: June 19 to July 4
If you’ve ever wanted to recreate Euphoria-level sparkle, now’s your chance. Half Magic founder and Euphoria lead makeup artist Donni Davy told me she went through jars of this multiuse pressed glitter while filming season three: “It’s all over the body: butts, boobs — we used so much.” Even better, the entire Half Magic line (excluding the Euphoria collection) is 30% off through July 4, making it the perfect time to shop favorites like the brand’s eye paints, glitter pucks, and colorful liners.
30% off select makeup
Tarte Sculpt Tape Contour, $36 $25.20
When: June 19 to July 4
Fake a few extra hours of sleep — or just naturally sculpted cheekbones — with Tarte’s Glow Tape and Sculpt Tape, both 30% off through the weekend. Glow Tape delivers an instant lit-from-within radiance thanks to its light-reflecting formula, while Sculpt Tape blends seamlessly for soft, believable definition that never looks muddy or streaky. I also love that Sculpt Tape comes in 13 shades, making it easier to find a contour that flatters a wide range of skin tones. If you’re more of a powder gal, DIBS’ bestselling baked bronzer and Laura Mercier’s blush-and-bronzer duo are also on sale.
40% off select Sol de Janeiro
Sol de Janeiro Cheirosa 39 Hair & Body Perfume Mist, $26 $15.60
When: June 19 to July 11
This is not a drill: full-size Sol de Janeiro body mists — aka your new scent wardrobe for summer — are 40% off during Ulta’s Big Summer Sale. The lineup includes newer limited-edition drops like Cheeky Biquíni, Limonada Gelada, and Refresco Paraiso, each one leaning into the brand’s signature sun-soaked, gourmand-meets-tropical fragrance profile that basically smells like vacation in a bottle. If you’ve been hoping for a deal and finally want to try a new scent, this is your sign to do just that.
Up to 45% off global beauty
Sekkisei Brightening Herbal Multi Gel Cream, $46 $36.80
When: June 19 to July 4
You don’t need an expensive flight to shop some of the best K- and J-beauty staples — Ulta’s got you covered. This Japanese drugstore favorite is a true sleeper hit, delivering lightweight yet deeply replenishing hydration in a cooling gel-cream texture that feels especially refreshing in the heat. Powered by brightening licorice extract, soothing mugwort, and antioxidant-rich angelica extract, it helps calm, hydrate, and visibly even skin tone over time without feeling heavy or greasy. Other IYKYK brands on sale include MISSHA, Decorté, and more, making this a great moment to sample several international beauty staples stateside.
30% off select hair tools
Dyson Airwrap i.d. Multi-styler and Dryer Straight+Wavy Hair, $649.99 $519.99
When: June 19 to July 4
If you’ve been coveting a Dyson Airwrap for years, this might finally be your moment to splurge. The Airwrap i.d. — Dyson’s heat-sensing, tech-forward take on its cult-favorite multi-styler — is 20% off, bringing the price down to $519.99. Designed to style without extreme heat, it uses intelligent temperature control and various attachments to dry, curl, smooth, and volumize with minimal damage. Also included in the broader hair tool deals are Bio Ionic’s Long Barrel Curling Iron, BaByliss PRO’s Styling Iron, and ghd’s Chronos Flatiron — all solid picks if you’re upgrading your hot tools lineup this summer.
