If you're waiting (im)patiently for the Ulta Black Friday Sale announcements, then you're in the right place. Last year, the beauty retailer's Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals included a whopping 50% off your favorite makeup, hair and skincare brands—from Tarte, MAC and Kylie Cosmetics to Kiehl's, Murad and FOREO and everything else in between.

There's no news on if we can expect a repeat of that this year, but it bodes well—as does the early deals that they've already started. Their official Black Friday sale hasn't started yet, but they're currently offering some great discounts on beauty favorites.

So whether you're looking for stocking stuffers like the best eyeshadow palettes, Black Friday perfume deals or simply a little something-something to treat yourself, now's the time to load up that shopping cart—or at least plan what you'll shop when the official Black Friday sale hits.

This tool provides another level of exfoliation with crystal discs that remove dead skin while the suction feature increases circulation in the skin to boost collagen for firm and radiant skin.

"It's easy to use and feels like it's really getting rid of any build-up on my skin," says in-house beauty expert Aleesha Badkar. "My skin is always left feeling fresh while I notice an immediate radiance in the following days—as long as I follow with a hydrating hyaluronic acid serum."

When is the Ulta Black Friday sale?

This year, the Ulta Black Friday deals will likely start around the start of Cyber Week—which is Monday 21st November. However, if they've not started by then they will definitely be available by actual Black Friday on 25th November.

Like previous years, their deals will likely last across the weekend into Cyber Monday on 28th November.

If you really want to beat the crowds, signing up to their email update service (opens in new tab) could give you early access to any discounts, or at least let you know when to expect the bargains to go live.

What should we expect from the Ulta Black Friday 2022 sale?

Like last year, we're expecting a mix of digital and in-store festivities, and the Ulta website will launch sales on specific products and brands, including 50% off fragrance sets, NYC holiday makeup kits, Morphe palettes and more. Hope you've got your list and you're checking it twice!

The retailer also has historically offered free gifts when shoppers hit a purchase minimum, which has been around $60 these last few years. You can get everything from travel-sized gift sets to free robes (!) so plan accordingly.
