Ulta's Black Friday Beauty Deals Are Out of Control—Here's What I'd Buy First

Cyber Week is here, and let's be honest: it can also be one of the most stressful times of the year. Although it would be more cost-efficient to use the massive amount of sales as a way to buy holiday gifts for others, I often end up buying way too much for myself (oops). Ulta isn't really helping the situation, either. It just dropped its Cyber Week beauty deals, and let me tell you, they're totally out of control. The retailer is offering up to 50% off select beauty items through November 25.

Whether you're in need of a few gifts for others or just want to stock up on your favorite makeup, skincare, and haircare, keep reading below. I'm sharing all the best Black Friday beauty deals that Ulta has to offer.

Run, don't walk, because one of Sunday Riley's most popular offerings is temporarily cheap at Ulta. This vitamin C–packed moisturizer works to prevent and repair any visible signs of premature skin aging. It also contains a gentle AHA and bisabolol to exfoliate and calm sensitive or reactive skin, making it perfect for those who struggle with acne.

If there were ever a time to stock up on MAC's artistry palettes, now would be the time. This burgundy-hued palette is perfect for the fall season.

This is truly one of the best hair sprays in terms of hold and humidity-resistance. It also keeps frizz at bay and helps my curls last all day and night.

Revlon's One-Step Dryer gives you the perfect salon-level blowout at home. It might be hard to believe, but Ulta is offering it for half off during Cyber Week! Act fast.

I'm a huge Peach & Lily fan, so best believe I'll be stocking up on this antioxidant-rich moisturizer from the brand while it's a few bucks cheaper. It's weightless, but provides deep hydration and helps fight premature skin aging.

Urban Decay's Naked palettes are arguably the brand's most popular items. This particular palette is great for creating versatile everyday looks due to its dusty (yet highly pigmented) neutral shades.

Retinol night creams can be hit or miss, but this one from Murad is always a hit. In addition to smoothing out fine lines and wrinkles, this gentle cream is also rich in texture for a hydrating finish and strengthens the skin's barrier with niacinamide and picolinamide.

This is, no joke, the fastest dryer I own. Sure, there are some really sleek options from high end haircare brands out there, but I was completely shocked the first time I used this dryer because it dried my extremely thick, curly hair in under three minutes. I love Babyliss tools and recommend them to friends often (special shout-out to the brand's Nano Titanium Ultra-Thin Straightening Iron), but they are expensive, so Black Friday is the perfect time to snag one at a discount.

I'm not usually into CC creams, but It Cosmetics offers one that's too good to pass up. It's a color-corrector, full-coverage foundation, serum, and mineral sunscreen all in one.

Any time I prep my hair for straightening, I bust out this leave-in product for heat protection. It makes my hair feel so soft and detangles it so quickly.

If you love CosRx's snail mucin line, you'll adore this rich gel-like cream that absorbs instantly into the skin. It's great for sensitive and breakout-prone skin since it's so soothing and helps repair skin-barrier damage.

Curlies, rejoice! Both Pattern's conditioner and hydrating shampoo are on sale for Cyber Week at Ulta. If you're looking to switch up your wash day routine, Pattern offers this duo that provides major slip, definition, and hydration to curls and coils.  Pair with Pattern Hydration Shampoo ($15).

This next-level curling iron from Bio Ionic allows you to curl larger sections of hair—it's also just perfect for those with longer strands.

Dyson is offering 20% off at Ulta when you use the code DYSON20 for Cyber Week. That includes this gorgeous blue blush edition of the Airwrap. So chic.

Quality makeup brushes can be pricy, but It Brushes is offering a few at a nice discount for Ulta's Cyber Week. This foundation brush is a fan favorite and it's basically half off!
