Ulta Beauty Jumbo Love Winter Liter Sale December 2018 Through January 2019
See the Summer 2019 Jumbo Love Event (Liter Sale) article.
The Winter 2018/2019 Jumbo Love Event (the Liter Sale) starts on Christmas Day, December 25th. It has started on Christmas Day for years. What I did not expect was the link did not get updated until the clock struck midnight in the Central time zone. I refreshed from 11:59pm to 12am and everything was finally live. This event always ends on a Saturday and runs for at least four weeks (Ulta advertises this as 5 weeks, but the fifth week is never full). It runs from Tuesday, December 25th, 2018 through Saturday, January 26th, 2019. Expect it to repeat in July, because this is a semi-annual event.
With this twice a year event, you get the lowest prices of the season on jumbo sizes of shampoo and conditioner. Unlike the Gorgeous Hair Event, which starts in May and then again in October, this event does not have a daily steal format. Most deals are available from day one of the sale and stay available until inventory runs out or the event ends, whichever comes first. Because of this, the online link for the sale is not as advanced as it is for other events. It is usually easier to view the deals from a catalog.
2019 Ulta Beauty Event Calendar
I have one timeline where I list all major: deals, coupons, GWP, Sales, promotions, and Events. Those who want to see an overall idea of what to expect this year should stop by. See where the Ulta Beauty Jumbo Love Event (Liter Sale) lines up with others on the calendar. You can also visit my Ulta retailer page to see active and upcoming offers of all types.
You can purchase a pump for $1 ($3 value) with any jumbo purchase while supplies last. A pop up in the checkout screen will remind you to add it online. If the agent does not offer this deal in person, remember to ask for it.

I'm Kimberly. Shopping is always more fun when I've found the best deal available, so I am always on the hunt. My father instilled that in me, and I love that I carry a piece of him. Sometimes, my husband and sons (13 and 8) let me shop for them, too. They do not use as many beauty products as I do. We can all benefit from nice products, even though their routine ends with moisturizer. That is when I can convince my 13-year-old to apply it.
I’m literally always stalking the sales at ulta and filling my basket up! lol

Same. Unless I’ve just completed an order, I almost always have items in my basket. When my basket reaches the shipping minimum, I just wait for the right promotion to place the order.

Notcreative, I totally hear you on the over budget comment. I spent so much in November and December because there were so many good deals.
If you don’t mind my asking, how much is your budget on beauty items month to month? Or do you budget a different way?

It varies. I do not have a specific amount each month. After all necessary bills get paid, I set aside extra money. If I have no vacations or other things coming up, I figure out how much I can spend.
