If you time your shopping right, Ulta deals can be plentiful. And considering the packed Ulta sale schedule, you should never pay full price for popular beauty brands like Tarte, Lancome, Clinique, and Tree Hut. Every year in June, we look to the Ulta Big Summer Beauty Sale to deliver up to 40% off on the aforementioned brands.
The Ulta Big Summer Beauty Sale is a once-a-year event that runs over the course of three weeks. Unlike some of the other Ulta sales, these deals rotate weekly, not daily, giving you a little more time to ponder each deal before committing. And there are usually Ulta Beauty Rewards promos where members can earn additional points on purchases, which means inching closer to a reward faster.

How to shop the Ulta Big Summer Sale
Use in-store pickup to avoid shipping fees.
Ulta's free shipping threshold is $35, so if your order is less than that, opt for in-store pickup instead. Otherwise, you're looking at $6.95 for shipping, which negates your savings (and no one wants that).
