Need to refresh your makeup and skincare products but want to save? Good news — the 72-hour Ulta flash sale (formerly known as the Forever Fabulous Sale) is a great one for stocking up on beauty wants and needs. The bad news? It’s over for 2023. It kicked off Aug. 1 and ended on Aug. 3, 2023. In 2022, the Ulta Forever Fabulous Sale ran from Aug. 3 – 4, 2022 — but for 2023, Ulta renamed this online-only event the “72-Hour Beauty Sale.” No word yet on which name they’ll go with in 2024.
This Ulta Beauty sale includes hot brands like Urban Decay, IT Cosmetics, Philosophy, Estee Lauder, Olaplex, and so many more. During this sale, Ulta is offering free gifts with purchase options and Ulta App exclusive offers. It’s a great time to treat yourself or begin stocking up for future gifts, as the holidays will be here before we know it.
Don’t sweat about returns. Become an expert on Ulta’s return policy before shopping. Spoiler alert: the return policy is pretty awesome.
