Out of all the big beauty sales, we have to admit this is our favorite. Ulta’s 21 Days of Beauty 2023 is as epic as can be, with three full weeks of half-off deals. We’re talking 50 percent off best sellers and new products from brands including Tula, Anastasia Beverly Hills, Smashbox, Benefit Cosmetics and so much more.
