Affiliate Links

As you probably already know, Ulta updated their Black Friday page and revealed the Black Friday Beauty Busters yesterday. These deals will be available starting at 5PM Central on 11/24; in-store you'll be able to shop starting at 6PM your local time on 11/24.

So first let me list all of the deals, and then at the bottom of this post we'll talk about some of items in particular, OK?

PLEASE NOTE: if the product is already listed on the Ulta site (without a discount), I have linked to the listing on the Ulta site below. If it's a special set/item that won't be available until Black Friday, then I have linked to the brand page on the Ulta site for now. To view photos of everything below, click here.

Regarding the Tarte Party Perfect Discovery Kit $19 ($67 value):

Tarte Party Perfect Discovery Kit $19 ($67 value)

Reader Momo kindly shared these pics of this set, which she just spotted in-store at her local Ulta (this set is not yet on the Ulta website, and I'm not sure if all Ulta locations have it out on the floor yet). So thanks to her, I was able to zoom in on the sizes in this set (listed on the front of the box) and I can confirm that the blush and Lippie Lingerie are both full-size:

• Gifted Amazonian Clay Smart Mascara  (deluxe size) - 0.16 oz.
• Amazonian Clay 12-Hour Blush in Celebrated (FULL-SIZE) - 0.2 oz.
• Lippie Lingerie Matte Tint in Pure - (FULL-SIZE) 0.10 oz. 

The blush retails for $28 and the Lippie Lingerie retails for $24, so Tarte is placing the value of the deluxe size mascara at $12 when they say that the total value of this set $64.

A few other things:

In case you missed this in my listings above, I want to be sure you know that there will be two different Philosophy Purity Made Simple deals on Black Friday:

• Ulta Black Friday Deal  - Purity Made Simple 4 oz. - $8 
• Sephora Black Friday Deal - Purity Made Simple 12 oz. - $15

Philosophy doesn't normally make a 4 oz. bottle or a 12 oz. bottle, but the 3 oz. bottle retails for $11 and the 8 oz. bottle retails for $24 on the Philosophy website.

Thanks so much to my friend Amber (Beauty Junkies Unite blog) for letting me know about something she spotted in the Ulta Black Friday ad scan on theblackfriday.com. If you look at this little tidbit above, which is located on page 3 of the ad, you'll see that Ulta mentions that there will be a Thanksgiving Sale that starts on 11/23 at 8PM Central and ends on 11/24 at 3PM Central. So this will be a "sale before the sale", which Ulta has been doing a lot lately right before their big promotions. I have no idea what items will be on sale at that time, but it's a small window so I want to be sure you're ready for it. The Black Friday Beauty Busters (all listed in this blog post) will be live at 5PM Central on 11/24. 

Thanks again, Momo and Amber, for the great tips and pics!
