March 2024 update:
Ulta has renamed its famous 21 Days of Beauty sale to the Semi-Annual Beauty Event. But it’s still the same amazing sale that it’s always been, with 50% off new Daily Steals every day for three weeks.
Beauty aficionados, ready your Caboodles. Ulta’s spring Semi-Annual Beauty Event is on the horizon for three weeks of covetable cosmetics, soothing skin care specials and tantalizing tools — for cheap.
It’s Ulta’s biggest beauty event of the year, featuring the best of the best in beauty brands, products and Surprise Beauty Steals to make the savings even sweeter. And don’t forget to grab cash back for your online purchases, too.
When Is the Ulta Semi-Annual Beauty Event in 2024?
The beauty retailer hosts this sale twice a year — in the spring and fall (usually in late August) — and it’s a big deal because Ulta seldom offers 50% off deals on these super popular products.
Ulta’s spring event will start March 8 and last through March 28 (it ran from March 12 to April 1 in 2023). The event will feature rare markdowns from your favorite cosmetic brands with amazing savings of up to 50% off — both online and in stores. It will include another set of deals every day that are only available online. In the past, Ulta has included at least one online-only Daily Steal each week throughout the event, so offering several different products every day is new.
As always, Diamond and Platinum members get free shipping with any Daily Beauty Steal purchase, regardless of the price. So, if you want to try a new cult favorite, the Semi-Annual Beauty Event is the perfect excuse to click that “Add To Bag” button now.
This is a sneak peek of the products you’ll find during Ulta’s event this spring:

Ulta Semi-Annual Beauty Event Shopping Tips
- Look over Ulta’s online ad once it’s out on Wednesday. It lists the next week’s products that will be included in the Daily Steals. Save your favorite ones to your calendar with a click, or make a list of what you want to purchase and when it starts.
- Plan your purchases ahead of time so you’re ready to pounce the moment a deal launches. New Daily Steals start at 10 p.m. PT, which means deals from the prior day vanish at 9:59 p.m. PT. Some of the best deals might sell out by the time you wake up in the morning, thanks to people who start shopping the second the new deal switches over. Plan ahead so you can beat them to the punch.
- Take advantage of free shipping. You get free shipping if you’re a Platinum or Diamond Ulta Rewards Member. Others will still need to meet the $35 minimum for free shipping. So, on a day you’ve met that free shipping minimum, add ultra-low-priced products ($3 soap, for example) to your cart.
- Find out if any Cash Back offers or additional discounts are available on RetailMeNot to stack on top of the sale for even more savings.
- Read Best Ways To Save at Ulta Every Time You Shop for more tips.
Happy spring Semi-Annual Beauty Event shopping, my fellow beauty mavens!
