Ulta’s Spring Sale Ends Tomorrow. Here’s Everything I’d Buy.
We’re nearing the end of Ulta’s latest sale, the Ulta Spring Haul. A hodgepodge of products from well-known brands, including La Roche-Posay, Touchland, Colourpop, and more, are all up to 40 percent off. I combed through the hundreds of discounted items and found some Strategist-favorite products, like Youthforia’s color-changing blush, La Roche-Posay’s mineral face sunscreen, and a two-in-one L’Oreal mascara. I also scouted a few of my own beauty staples, like Mielle’s fruity leave-in conditioner and Neutrogena’s makeup remover wipes, which I’ll be stocking up on. The sale ends tomorrow, April 5, and plenty of items are still in stock, but that’s subject to change as the end of the sale nears. For even more sales picks, be sure to sign up for the Strategist Sales Alert.

Recommended by no fewer than eight skin-care experts, La Roche-Posay’s face wash uses anti-inflammatory ceramides and niacinamide to balance oil production. It’s only $3 off, but it’s worth buying any time it’s on sale, in my opinion.

This face sunscreen is as lightweight as its name suggests. Strategist contributor Hannah Morrill says it easily absorbs into her skin and has a matte finish that’s a great base for makeup.

Mario Badescu’s facial sprays dominated the 2010s. If you’re still hooked on these moisturizing mists (or want to try them), this 30 percent-off pack is a good deal — it features the cucumber green tea, aloe and rosewater, and chamomile and lavender spritzes, now for less than $6 each.

The trendiest person you know probably has a Touchland hand sanitizer in their bag. They have aesthetically pleasing packaging and moisturizing aloe and glycerin ingredients that make them fancier, but pricier, than the average bottle. If you could never justify buying a $10 hand sanitizer, now’s the time to buy it for $8.

A refreshing primer that moisturizes your face as much as it preps it for makeup. It’s excellent for travel, as flights, pools, and vacation plans tend to dry out complexions.

Both TikTok and our beauty columnist Rio Viera-Newton stand by Youthforia’s color-changing cheek oil. The dyes chemically react with your skin’s moisture and pH levels when applied, leaving you with a lovely your-blush-but-better, sun-kissed look.
