Ulta's Summer Sale Has Finds For Up To 60 Percent Off, So Please Just Take My Money

This year, it seems like everyone is a little bit confused about when to celebrate the Fourth of July, considering it's on a Wednesday. Do we celebrate the weekend before? The weekend after? The whole week? The entire month? Well, while the average American ponders over when to celebrate, beauty lovers will be busy turning up at Ulta's summer sale. From now until 11:59 p.m. CT on Wednesday, July 4, one of Ulta's biggest sales of the season is happening both in-store and online. So even if your work schedule doesn't allow you to jet off to the beach for the mid-week holiday, you can still celebrate with up to 60 percent off haircare products and up to 50 percent off mass-market cosmetics and skincare finds.

Any true beauty junkie knows that the best time to restock their vanity is during an Ulta sale, whether it's their famed 21 Days of Beauty Sale on almost everything in the store, the Love Your Skin Sale on skincare, or the Gorgeous Hair Event which offers sales on any and all hair products. But there's something about Ulta's summer sale that allows you to stock up on all of the season's hottest beauty products while saving a ton of money that makes it that much more exciting. Maybe it's because I know personally that the money I'm saving on liters of hair products and face masks to detox my summer skin I can spend on rosé at happy hour instead, and that alone is reason to celebrate.

But as awesome as the Ulta Summer Sale is, the entire sale only lasts for a few days, so the deals of the season will come and go extremely fast. To make sure you can get the best deals before they're gone, let's cut to the chase and break down the best discounted hair, skin, and makeup buys that the beauty giant has to offer, so you can load up your cart and save tons of money in the process.
