Ulta 21 Days Of Beauty: Today’s Deals
Tarte’s Liquid Highlighter
You really can’t go wrong with this magical highlighter. Swipe it underneath your eyes to brighten up dark circles (especially when paired with concealer), mix it with your foundation for an all-over glow or swipe it over the high points of your face to bring out your features. FYI: This deal is only available for Ulta rewards members with Diamond or Platinum status, meaning those who’ve spent over $500 at the retailer in the past year.
An On-The-Go Blush And Highlighter Kit
We appreciate the efficiency of these blush and highlighter sticks. Between their easy-to-blend creamy textures and the enclosed brushes on one end, you can quickly apply them without fuss. (Fun fact: The rosy blush tone was created by none other than Hilary Duff.)
These Double-Duty Exfoliating Pads
These dual-action resurfacing pads combine both physical and chemical exfoliation to give you softer, brighter skin. The pads themselves have a raised texture on one side to gently loosen dead skin cells, while a blend of enzymes and alpha hydroxy acids take care of the rest.

This Lightweight Foundation
This Beauty Steal will be live on August 30

First Aid Beauty’s Top-Rated Cleanser
This Beauty Steal will be live on August 30

This Gentle Exfoliating Scrub
This Beauty Steal will be live on August 30
Use this scrub two to three times a week to keep your pores clear—especially if you’re prone to getting blackheads in your T-zone. As multiple reviewers share, the scrub itself isn’t too abrasive and it leaves your skin feeling softer and smoother, which helps your makeup go on better.
A Setting Powder That Makes Your Skin Look (and Feel) Like Velvet
This Beauty Steal will be live on August 30
This finely milled setting powder effectively tamps down shine in your hot spots (i.e., your forehead and chin), while not drying out the rest of your face. The twist top dispenser is also genius because it prevents powder from getting all over your bathroom counter.
This Waterproof Brow Filler
This Beauty Steal will be live on August 31
This waterproof formula is essentially a 3-in-1 pencil, pomade and gel for your brows. It has two sides: one angled tip for filling in gaps and shaping your brows and the other for brushing away any harsh lines.
This Cult-Favorite Highlighter
This Beauty Steal will be live on August 31
This beloved highlighter has been called “pure gold on skin” by fans because of the way it glimmers in every light and at every angle. The unique formula blends pearl pigments with liquid to create a buttery texture that’s a dream to apply, and it leaves you with a candlelit glow.
This Bestselling Anti-Aging Serum
This Beauty Steal will be live on September 1

This Natural-Looking Brow Definer
This Beauty Steal will be live on September 3

This Buttery Lip Balm
This Beauty Steal will be live on September 4
