What’s actually worth shopping during Ulta’s 21 Days of Beauty sale
Major brands including Olaplex, Supergoop and Elemis are part of the sale, and new deals drop daily.
Intended for nighttime use, this rich cream firms, smooths and replenishes skin, according to the brand, which makes one of our favorite cleansing balms. I applied after washing your face and use just a pea-sized amount for your entire face. Translation: This jar will last you a while.
These undereye patches are soaked in a serum that depuffs and helps dark circles, according to the brand. They feel cooling when they go on and are shaped in a way that helps them stay put on your face. They’re intended for use two to three times a week for ten to fifteen minutes each time.

I use this styling cream on my fine strands anytime I blow dry. It adds both thickness and smoothness, which I appreciate. Also nice: It is safe for color-treated hair and is free from sulfates.
Dealing with dark circles? Clinique’s All About Eye Cream has vitamin C to help brighten that area. It also is hydrating and has caffeine to perk skin up, according to the brand.
This leave-in treatment has silk, wheat and soy proteins to help strengthen strands and add shine, according to the brand. It’s alcohol-free so it won’t dry your hair out and it can double as a heat protectant. After washing your hair, just apply a dime-sized amount to your palm and then work the product through your hair before styling.

Use this conditioning mask weekly to strengthen damaged hair or prevent it from happening in the first place. The formula has rosehip oil to hydrate, algae extract to nourish and B vitamins to add body and sheen, according to the brand.
This multitasking moisturizer is essentially three products in one, which means it can save you time in the morning. The hydrating formula has SPF 40 and is tinted to even out your skin tone. It also has ginseng and caffeine to wake up tired skin, according to the brand.
I use the first iteration of this product and notice an immediate difference anytime I use it. The rechargeable device emits tiny microcurrents as you glide it over your face, which helps to tighten skin and depuff. For it to work, you have to apply Foreo’s Supercharged Serum, which also happens to be on sale. While I can’t say the results last forever, I do notice my face looks much perkier on days I use this device.

This serum has tranexamic acid and glycolic acid, both of which gently exfoliate skin to address dullness. You can also use it as a spot treatment and apply it directly to dark spots. One thing to note: If you use it in the morning, just apply SPF afterward, as it can make skin more sensitive to sun.
This funny looking device is a smart cleansing tool that deeply cleans your skin. This technology emits a blue light therapy to kill acne-causing bacteria, according to PMD. On top of that, the side without the lights is textured and vibrates as you glide it over your face to really work your cleanser in and get your face clean.
Belif’s Aqua Bomb Hydrating Sleeping Mask has a jelly-like texture that easily glides over skin. Put it on at night and when you wake up, your skin feels more moisturized and glowy, according to the brand. It’s good for sensitive skin and absorbs quickly, so it won’t leave a film on your pillow.
