If you live near an Ulta, you need to get over to your local store ASAP for this one! Starting today (1/15) and running through this week (I believe this ends on 1/21), all clearance items are an additional 50% off the clearance price. Again, this is in-store only, no coupon required.
Reader Shaina left a comment about this sale on the blog today, and reader Diana kindly shared some photos of the products she scored at her local Ulta today, along with her receipt in case these deals seem too good to be true!
So here's Diana's receipt:

As you can see, the Essence mascara set pictured at the top of this post was $0.48. For three FULL-SIZE MASCARAS! This set was originally $9.99 so that is just crazy, right? I personally love Essence mascaras (I've reviewed a few for you over the years) so I am ridiculously jealous of Diana right now!

Diana's final price for this Ardell lash set: $7.48 (originally $19.99)!

Diana's final price for this Soap & Glory body butter set: $2.98 (originally $12). What??
Again, try to get over to your nearest Ulta ASAP tomorrow for the best selection. If you wait until the end of the week, I guarantee that the selection will be slim. And you KNOW I would love to hear all about your hauls in the comments below!
Thanks again, Diana, for the excellent pics, and Shaina for the hot tip!
That IS a great deal, but these in-store deals are just insane, right?? ;)
ReplyDeleteG, I also spotted some small holiday hand lotions priced down to $0.47 which means they're going for probably a quarter each now. I am so running over there tomorrow! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteOMG that is nuts!! Thanks so much for the tip, Pinky! Hope they're still there when you get there! Fingers crossed 😊
DeleteIs it for select stores? Because i know when i saw your post about extra off clearance on instagram i had called my nearest store to find out its only in select stores
ReplyDeleteI called six stores in my city before I published this post, and they all knew about the sale and confirmed it was happening this week. I don't know if that means it's at EVERY store across the nation, but I can tell you this: the last time they ran a sale like this, I heard from readers who said that at some stores, not all employees knew it was happening. They were surprised by the prices at the register when they rang them up. So I wouldn't 100% rely on what they tell you over the phone. Best to just go in, take a few clearance items to the register, and ask them to scan them so you can verify the discount yourself. :)
DeleteThank you! I know where I'm going tomorrow! I've been wanting to try Essence mascaras- for this price I have no excuse not to!
ReplyDeleteYou're so welcome, Robin! My fingers are crossed that you find this set tomorrow!! :)
DeleteI've been wanting that Ardell lash lookbook, but didn't want to pay full price! I hope they have it at an Ulta near me!!
ReplyDeleteOMG hopefully you can find to tomorrow!!! Fingers crossed! :)
DeleteGuess where I'm going first thing in the morning? I hope my store has a good selection left. Do you know if the warehouse shipped some to the stores or is it just what's left over from the holidays?
ReplyDeleteI have no idea. Sorry!!
DeleteIt's just what's left over!
DeleteThis is such a good deal! Is this going on at every store?
ReplyDeletePlease see my response to Hannah above ^^^^^^
DeleteThank you so much G! I went to my local ulta the minuet they opened their door. I grabbed whole bunch of goodies for under $30. It includes TONY MOLY cleanser duo and hadalabo face masks, and all sorts of cute hair accessories. I didn't see the essence mascara and the falsie set, but I'm happy enough. I tagged u on instagram to share the photo. Seriously, that Tony Moly set is amazing!
ReplyDeleteI went to my Ulta today (Monday) and they didn't have much, but I got lucky and found the NYX Box of Goodies for only $13. It seemed as the employee that rang me up didn't know about the sale because she looked at the register than the item, as if she was confused. Thanks for the tip, G. You are awesome!
ReplyDeleteI got some great deals on ULTA nail polish and NYX lippie today
ReplyDeleteI just went and none of my stuff rang up an extra 50% off... and I asked with a manager standing at the counter. I'm in Lexington, KY.
ReplyDeletemy ulta only has certain items on clearance you could take an additional 50% off and nothing as good as whats in the picture and i went to headquarters :-(
ReplyDeleteHi G! Thanks for this great deal. I was able to get the nyx advent calendar for $12, hot tools curling iron for $17, and several other small deals. My ulta said it was only through today, but this may vary with other stores. Also, there was a special section in the front that clearly said extra 50% off clearance. The cashier was able to ring an extra 50% off the other clearance items placed throughout the store. I had to specifically ask for this though.
ReplyDeleteI went today and there was no additional 50% off of any of the clearance items at my Ulta. I specifically asked about it and was told they didn't know anything about it. I even looked at the NYX advent calendar which still rung up $24, yet a commenter above got it for $12 today!! Lucky!! I am so bummed my location wasn't doing the additional discount. Does anyone know why it isn't at every store?
ReplyDeleteI went today and got a Zoya nail polish for 2.25 and a China Glaze for 2.00. I also got 2 mini China Glaze for 75 cents. I asked if the regular clearance( not red tag) was an xtra 50% off and the salesgal said Yes. When I got to the register, it did not ring up that way. They did honor it. I got 4 pair of Ardell demi whispies for 2.50 and a RT concealer brush for 2.50.
ReplyDeleteLol my mine reason for going was for ardell lashbook and soap and glory. you found amazing items lucky.
DeleteI may have gone a bit overboard today and went to 3 different Ultas...I got 2 of the Tony Moly sets, 2 of the Pacifica travel ready facial wipes sets (there are 5 different packs of 10 wipes each, rang up at 3.48), 2 Too Faced melted metallic lipsticks at 5.48 each, an Urban Decay eyeliner, a Becca lip souffle, and a few other random things. I spent around $45 for everything, which is pretty incredible.
ReplyDeleteOMG you're so lucky. Do you mind sharing what colors in the too faced melted lipstick you got and what location? Mine literally had nothing just curling irons and pumpkin scented lotion
DeleteI live in Sacramento and I got metallic macaron and metallic tutu. There were a few other colors as well at one of the stores.

ReplyDeleteThanks for this tip! I went on Tuesday and got 22 items for $32 after tax. I got one of the OPIs from the Christmas 2016 Breakfast at Tiffany's collection for $2.48. I also got some China Glaze from summer 2016 for $2 each. I got a lot of different Almay things for less than $1; maybe they are destocking Almay. I got a pretty felt makeup bag for $3 that was originally $24. There were no signs about this deal in my store.
ReplyDeleteI got a bunch of goodies today too. Only a few items rang up with the extra 50% off. The cashier had to enter them manually. I got the Bliss face wash and the Ulta primer free too. Nothing as good as seen above, but I had a few little things to return and my total was -$0.49. I'm happy with that!
ReplyDeleteI went today and though there was a sign that clearly stated 50% off of clearance moat of the red tag stuff I picked up didn't ring up 50% so the cashier gave me a bunch of excuses as to why they didn't...I did get the OPI I Believe in Manicures polish I've been looking for for $2.47 though so I was happy...
ReplyDeleteThe exact thing happened to me when I went in. Even though the signs were up. I gave half of the things back. I did get an acrylic organizer for $1.98 so that was a score.
DeleteI was able to get the NYX liquid suede lip vault for $12.49! The retail price was $50! My store had at least 20 of them. I bought 4. I would have liked the Ardell lash book but my store didn't have it.
ReplyDeleteI actually picked up the Nyx Advent calendar for about $12.50! It was originally $50, and they had it on sale for $24.99. I got the 50% off of that price. Super great deal!
