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 Curlsmith, Tula, and Tarte. Every year in June, we look to the Ulta Big Summer Beauty Sale to deliver up to 40% off the aforementioned brands. And it's here through July 19. Plus, you can get free standard shipping for a limited time on everything, no need to spend at least $35 like usual.
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 (like 21 Days of Beauty), these deals rotate weekly, not daily, giving you a little more time to ponder each deal before committing. During the sale, keep an eye out for Ulta Beauty Rewards promos where members can earn additional points on purchases, which means inching closer to a reward faster. Also look for free gifts with purchase. For example, through July 12, you can get a free beauty bag ($98 value) with a $90 online purchase.

How to Shop the Ulta Big Summer Sale
Take advantage of the free shipping offer during the sale.
Usually, Ulta's free shipping threshold is $35, but during the sale, this sale sometimes offers limited-time free standard shipping promos. There's one running July 8 - 11. And it's not just for the items that are part of the Big Summer Beauty sale, but for everything on Ulta's site. So if you're checking out with an order total under $35, you don't have to worry about the $6.95 shipping charge getting tacked on.
