Summer sales slump begone: We’re jumping back in the Add to Cart game, because Ulta’s 72-Hour Beauty Sale is officially happening rn. The major sale boasts everything from hair products to makeup to heat tools and internet-fave skincare up to 50% off, which is a pretty big deal IMO. The 72-Hour Sale, which you might’ve previously known as the Forever Fabulous Sale, only runs from August 1-3 (you know, bc of the whole ~72 hours~ thing) so we went ahead and found some must-try items to help you out.
Longtime makeup wipe users looking for more gentle alternative will loooove the Banila Co Clean It Zero Cleansing Balm while lip oil junkies can snag Coola’s SPF 30 Hydrating Lip Oil, bc yes, your pucker needs sun protection, too. Plus, Olaplex is offering discounts on their No.8 Moisture Mask and No.4C Clarifying Shampoo—which is totally major. And if the items you had your eye on sold out before you could grab your credit card, not to worry—Ulta’s iconic 21 Days of Beauty event will hopefully be returning this upcoming fall.

If it's good enough for Sydney Sweeney, it's good enough for me! My Way is little bit floral and a lot of citrus-y fresh—did someone say yum? (Hi, yeah, that was me).
Olaplex sales are few and far between, so this discount on their No.8 mask is a big deal. Apply the hydrating mask to damp hair, let the bond-building formula do all the work while you sit for 10 minutes and scroll through Twitter in your bathrobe, then rinse and style like usual.
All the nostalgic vibes of applying a glistening tanning oil and soaking up the sun, with a lot less of the sun damage risk. This SPF 30 baby oil is meant to protect your skin, rather than roast it.
Myth is one of those intoxicating fragrances that'll have people you pass on the street going, "OMG, someone smells so good." It's a stunning mix of earthy white cedarwood and musk.
