Ulta Holiday Beauty Blitz 2018 Count Down the Holidays With 25 Days of Surprise Deals

See the 2019 Beauty Blitz article and all 2019 Ulta Beauty Promotions, Deals, Coupons, GWP, Sales, and Events.

---

One of the new promotions Ulta Beauty launched in 2017 was the Holiday Beauty Blitz. This is a 25-day event where Ulta Beauty offers a new deal each day. It is a countdown to Christmas. Every week, Ulta Beauty announces the deals for the next week. That means we will find out about the seventh deal in a sequence over seven days out, but the first in the sequence gets announced right before it goes live. Though I did not blog about this event last year, I did partake in some of the deals. This is similar to the 21 Days of Beauty in that the offers are mostly makeup from high-end brands, but deals can come from any beauty category or price range. Like its sister event, each deal ends when the day ends. For Ulta, that is on Central time, so deals change over at 10pm here on the West Coast. We get 4 extra days of deals that count us down right into Christmas Day.

The event link went live on 11/30/18 and the first 8 deals are up. Only one deal for 12/03/18 is announced so far. There are more coming in the Merry Monday event. See that article for more information.

Since Ulta will only release 7 days of deals at a time, I can only post seven at a time. It is highly unlikely Ulta will release more than seven in advance to affiliates, but I will post them if that happens. By the end of the event, I will have a comprehensive article. It will serve as my basis for this event in the future (since I wasn’t blogging during the first one). Until then, you will likely only see here what you can see on the Ulta site. Full disclosure so you know you do not have to keep checking back in to see if I have anything Ulta has not yet posted. Deals will get posted in reverse chronological order (as I do with all tracking articles).

Other December Promotions
