20 Percent Off a Dyson Air Wrap, $25 Ilia Blush, and More on Sale at Ulta
Fall is a good time to make a few seasonal swaps in your beauty routine. As the weather gets colder and drier, your skin may need more hydrating skin-care products to prevent dryness, ones that address post-summer sun damage such as brown spots, or even the reintroduction of a retinol if you took a break during the warmer months. It’s also a natural time to tweak your makeup and hair routines for the new season.
That makes Ulta’s Let’s Haul Sale especially well timed. With deals across skin care, makeup, hair, fragrance, and more, it is the perfect occasion to stock up on things you already use and pick up something new for fall without paying full price. Now through October 3, get up to 30 percent off select items or buy one, get one 50 percent off participating brands.
Here are my picks, whether you need a seasonal reset or want to save on otherwise splurgy items.

Skin and body
A face cream that seals it all in
New! You can now save this product for later.
This is the face moisturizer I recommend most often to friends. Many of us are using serums with potent actives or topical retinoids, so we really just need a good barrier cream to lock in hydration. This one has calming and hydrating niacinamide and glycerin, plus the brand’s soothing thermal spring water.
A smart way to exfoliate dull body skin
New! You can now save this product for later.
I recently reviewed this line and love its stretchy exfoliating cloth, which makes treating skin in hard-to-reach areas, like the mid-back, much easier. The disposable cloth lasts up to 60 washes, and the color fades when it’s time to toss.
A hand sanitizer worthy of stockpiling
New! You can now save this product for later.
It’s time to stock up on hand sanitizer for cold and flu season. My teen and tweens always keep Touchlands stashed in their backpacks and lockers.
A derm-approved cleanser for dry skin
New! You can now save this product for later.
This face wash is often recommended by dermatologists because it contains hyaluronic acid and ceramides to replenish skin as it cleanses away dirt, oil, and makeup.
A safe way to stay sun-kissed
New! You can now save this product for later.
Self-tanner offers a simple way to hang on to summer just a little longer. This is one that changed my mind about the category. It looks believable on my light skin and leaves no streaks (when applied with the mitt).
A serum to undo sun damage
New! You can now save this product for later.
Reverse the signs of too much summer sun: This serum contains thiamidol to help brighten the complexion and fade dark spots.
New! You can now save this product for later.
Makeup artist Erica Taylor made this eye balm go viral — and for good reason. It contains vitamin C for brightness, peptides for crepey skin texture, and a cooling formula that helps de-puff.
Makeup
A long-wearing lipstick that really works
New! You can now save this product for later.
A makeup artist I hire for events uses this lipstick on me because it works. The color stays put, and the finish is glossy. It’s not like the drying longwear lipsticks of the past. Now is a great time to try some new shades.
The lashes I hoard
New! You can now save this product for later.
I always have pack of these lashes on hand. I wear them for events and pro photos and any time I want to feel a little more glam. They’re so easy to apply, and they stay put until I take them off. I like the variety pack so I can pick the lash style based on the occasion or even my mood.
A palette for countless eye combos
New! You can now save this product for later.
This palette of 30 eye shadows, a mix of metallics and mattes, becomes even more affordable when you consider each eye shadow is just over $1 a pop.
A color stick for cheeks, lips, and even eyes
New! You can now save this product for later.
Ilia Multi-Stick
I love a cream blush you can use on your lips, too. You can even apply some shades, like the Terracotta shown here, to your eyelids. Three products in one — now 30 percent off.
Tools and accessories
A splurge-worthy hair tool
New! You can now save this product for later.
We keep close tabs on the price of this staff- and reader-favorite hair tool. During this sale, you can save $130 on the multi-styler and dryer.
Inexpensive makeup brushes that work well
New! You can now save this product for later.
Real Techniques makes budget makeup brushes that get the job done nicely. I recently purchased these for my tween and was impressed with the quality for the price — which is even lower now.
My smooth-hair secret
New! You can now save this product for later.
When I need to look polished but don’t have a lot of time to blow out my hair, I air-dry until the hair is mostly dry and then smooth it out with a blow-dry brush like this one. It’s done in minutes.
A cute carry-all
New! You can now save this product for later.
This case has multiple compartments to carry all your cosmetics on a weekend away. It also makes a great gift.
