The countdown to the biggest savings event of the year has officially begun, and of course we already have our calendars marked for Ulta Beauty's Black Friday sale. In terms of deals, it's up there with the retailer's ever-changing "Buy More Save More" sales, the Gorgeous Hair Event, or seemingly random markdowns just because. The beloved beauty boutique never disappoints its bargain-hunting customers.
We still have a bit of time before the sale officially starts. It's slated to run online from November 20 (in-store shoppers will have to wait until November 21) through November 27. Look for deals of up to 50 perfect off from brands you've been waiting to save on all year. We're talking IT Cosmetics, T3, and Wella, to name a few. Whether you're in the market for your favorite hair essentials, the prettiest palettes, or new skin care, you won't leave (or log off) empty-handed. In addition to the markdowns, when you spend $60, you'll also get a free eight-piece beauty bag filled with minis from the Ulta Beauty Collection.
The hardest part of shopping is scouring through all of the wonderful deals, so we did the heavy lifting for you. Below, we plucked the most exciting discounts, markdowns, and must-click deals from the sale that will breathe new life into your beauty collection, no matter how big or small. Check out the Allure-approved picks that deserve your dollars this season.

First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Cream with Pink Grapefruit
This year, Ulta Beauty's giving us the gift of great skin care at even greater prices. First off, the brand is reducing the prices of select cleansers, like the IT Cosmetics Confidence in a Cleanser above, to $15 — that's nearly 50 percent off its original price. As if its price isn't enticing enough, this gentle cleanser also has an amazing formula. It'll wash and hydrate at the same time, thanks to the combination of hydrating hyaluronic acid, firming collagen, moisturizing ceramides, and soothing colloidal oatmeal.
All good on cleansers? Then treat your skin to a new moisturizer from First Aid Beauty. For the holiday season, the brand released a limited-edition version of its beloved Ultra Repair Cream infused with pink grapefruit for a fresh, awakening scent. And during Ulta Beauty's Black Friday sale, you can grab it for over half off of its original price.

Of course, we know that skin care doesn't end at your face. So, grab The Body Shop's ever-popular Coconut Body Butter, which has a decadent whipped texture that makes skin feel oh-so-smooth. You can grab anything from the brand, including this extra-large tub of body lotion, for 30 percent off during the entirety of Ulta Beauty's sale.

One of the most exciting parts about this sale is that there are tons of luxury products with reduced prices, like all of T3's amazing hair tools.

It features digitally-controlled heat settings and two interchangeable brush heads for effortless blowouts, waves, and pin-straight locks in mere minutes.
If you need a heat protectant to go with your new hair tools, you can also spot Living Proof's Perfect Hair Day Heating Styling Spray for 50 percent off during this savings event. It's lightweight, silicone-free, and withstands up to 450 degrees Fahrenheit to protect your hair against heat-induced damage.

Keracolor Color + Clenditioner
Hair that could use a pick-me-up will enjoy the FusionPlex Intense Repair Mask from Wella, which is currently 50 percent off along with the rest of the FusionPlex and NutriCurl lines. This mask whips brittle, lackluster strands back into shape with the help of silk-derived amino acids for a stronger feel and glossier finish.
Craving a new hair color? Before you sit in the salon chair, try Keracolor's Color + Clenditioner tinted conditioners. Not only is it on sale for $15, but it also infuses your hair with vibrant pigments like the indigo blue above, making it a great choice for in-between coloring appointments. The beauty of this conditioner is that it also, well, conditions your hair while providing a dose of color, therefore avoiding post-coloring dryness and brittleness.

Ulta Beauty Collection Lip Glossary
Here at Allure, it's no secret that we're fans of the Undone Beauty Water Bronzer. This buildable, water-based bronzer provides just a touch of color to warm and sculpt your face. Undone Beauty's products have already staggeringly low prices to begin with — but during the Black Friday sale, its entire lot of products, including the Water Bronzer, will be 30 percent off.
If you're looking for something giftable (and affordable), look no further than Ulta Beauty Collection's Lip Glossary. It's stocked with 16 different lip products including stains, tinted oils, glosses, and matte liquid lipsticks to mix and match, plus it's only $10 during the sale. In case you're wondering, that means you'll be paying less than $1 per lip product.
