Ulta 21 Days of Beauty and the 2026 Ulta sale calendar
Two dated events a year carry Ulta’s deepest cuts. Most of the rest of the year, the items we track sit at about 30% off, and the sale ends overnight with no warning.

When is Ulta 21 Days of Beauty? Twice a year, in March and September, for three weeks. In 2026 it ran March 6–26 and August 28–September 17, so the next one is spring 2027. Between those two events, the Ulta deals we check each morning mostly sit at 28–30% off. A “50% off” banner tells you the ceiling. We wanted to know what you actually get on an ordinary day, so this Ulta sale calendar uses our own daily checks alongside Ulta’s pages.

The short answer
For the deepest cuts: 21 Days of Beauty, every March and September. Ulta calls it 50% off “Daily Beauty Steals”, and each one lasts a day.
For a wider sale: Black Friday. In 2025 Ulta’s early deals started in late October and the main sale ran the week of November 23. Ulta hasn’t announced 2026 dates.
Any other week: 5 of the 7 priced Ulta deals on our list today are 28–30% off. Treat 30% at Ulta as normal, not special.

Ulta 21 Days of Beauty: how it works and when it’s next
Ulta’s own event page says the sale “happens twice a year, in March and September, and lasts for three weeks” (read October 22, 2026). The page describes “Daily Beauty Steals” at 50% off. NewBeauty’s March 3, 2026 guide gives the spring dates as March 6 through March 26 and explains the format: each daily Steal lasts 24 hours, and weekly Steals run for seven days. It also notes that the deals run in store and online while supplies last, and that Platinum and Diamond rewards members often get early access.
The fall 2026 edition ran August 28 to September 17. Ulta’s event page printed those dates, and we recorded the event ending on September 17 at 11:59 PM CT. Today the same page says “The event is over for now” and promises it “will be back in Spring”. No 2027 dates are posted yet. Going by spring 2026, expect early March.
One warning about predictions. A popular coupon site’s Ulta calendar, last updated in February, predicted the fall 2026 event for August 20–31. It actually ran August 28 to September 17, so treat any calendar that doesn’t name its source as a rough guide.
Ulta Black Friday: what happened last year
Ulta hasn’t posted its 2026 Black Friday dates. Its Black Friday page still says “The event is over for now”, and its homepage showed no early Black Friday banner on October 22. Last year’s pattern:
Early deals from about October 26, 2025. Forbes reported on October 27, 2025 that Ulta’s early Black Friday deals had gone live the day before, with new deals every week until November 22. Most were 25–40% off.
Black Friday week, November 23–29, 2025. Hip2Save’s November 29, 2025 roundup called that day the last chance and said the sale was valid in stores and online. The Krazy Coupon Lady lists dated deal days on November 23, 25 and 27.
If 2026 follows the same shape, early deals would start around the last week of October, with Black Friday itself on November 27. We’ll update this page when Ulta posts dates.
The hauls: Ulta’s shorter sales
Between the big events, Ulta runs shorter “haul” sales on select brands. The fall one, “Let’s haul!”, was up to 30% off. Ulta’s sale page printed “Ends Oct 3” on every reading we took from September 27 to October 3. On October 4 it still showed that date even though the sale was visibly still running, and on October 5 the date disappeared. In 2025 the Fall Haul ran September 20 to October 4, according to The Krazy Coupon Lady. The spring version usually follows 21 Days of Beauty.
What our daily checks show about Ulta sales
We re-check every Ulta deal on our list each morning. Since September 17, 2026, that record shows a clear pattern.
30% is the usual cut. On October 22, 2026, 5 of the 7 priced Ulta deals on our list were 28–30% off. The median was 30%, and the deepest was 50% (Perricone MD).
Prices don’t drift. We’ve recorded the price of 12 Ulta products since September 27, and none changed price while it was on our list. The Dolce&Gabbana Light Blue set and the ILIA Multi-Stick were the same on all 27 checks.
Sales end overnight, without a date. At least four Ulta sale prices vanished between one morning check and the next: Valentino’s hair and body mist (October 3), Sigma’s Renew Lip Oil and the travel-size Tarte Shape Tape (October 10), and the Anastasia Beverly Hills highlighter (October 12). Except for the Tarte, each went back to exactly the regular price Ulta had shown. Ulta printed no end date for any of them.
Gift-with-purchase lists turn over fast. The fragrance gift offers on our list changed six times in ten days (October 5–14). A gift you saw last week may be gone.
Some brand sales just keep going. Glo24k has been on sale at Ulta on every check since September 17. On October 22 all 28 of its products were marked down.
Because these sales end without warning, we’d buy a 30%-off Ulta item when you need it rather than wait for a deeper cut that may not come before the next event.
Today’s Ulta deals we’ve checked
These are the Ulta deals on our list on October 22, 2026. Prices are Ulta’s, as our morning check recorded them.
$69.30, was $99 (30% off) when we checked on October 22, the same on all 27 checks since September 27. A fair price for a 1 oz plus 0.3 oz set, and it hasn’t moved in almost four weeks.
Every Glo24k product was marked down on October 22, from $27.99 (regularly $39.99) to $209.99. The brand has been on sale at Ulta on every check since September 17, so there’s no need to rush.
Free gifts with luxury perfume: Carolina Herrera and Jimmy Choo · ORDINARY
A fragrance bundle or train case with a $156 Carolina Herrera Good Girl or La Bomba purchase, or a Jimmy Choo tote with its women’s scents. Ulta prints “valid thru 10.31.26”.
The catch: the gift is the only saving, and this list has changed often.
Ulta coupon codes. We list a code only after we’ve verified it on the day, and we found none we could check from Ulta’s own pages. The Gorgeous Hair event. It appears in older coverage, but we found no dated 2025 or 2026 edition. The app-only “up to 30% off” offer on Ulta’s homepage, marked “Ends Oct 24”. Its brand list is only in the app, so we couldn’t check it.
How we checked
