Black Friday Starts Early: 50% Off Ulta Beauty Favorites
Ulta and Alo are launching early Black Friday sales with top beauty and fitness deals, including 50% off Clinique and Tarte, and 30% off workout gear.
Black Friday is moving earlier than ever, with major retailers already slashing prices. Ulta has kicked off its Early Black Friday sale, offering up to 50% off top beauty brands like Clinique, Medicube, Tarte, and more [2]. The sale runs through November 21, giving shoppers a head start on holiday gifts and winter skincare essentials.
Among the standout deals is Tarte’s bestselling concealer, which has a 4.7-star rating from over 37,880 Ulta reviews. The full-coverage, matte formula lasts up to 16 hours and is ideal for oily and combination skin types [2]. Clinique’s cleansing balm, a favorite among NBC Selected staff, is also on sale—known for gently removing waterproof makeup and being safe for sensitive skin.
Another top pick is a hydrating essence featuring snail mucin, hyaluronic acid, allantoin, and panthenol, which helps calm redness and rebalance skin after exfoliation. It holds a 4.7-star rating from over 4,000 Ulta reviews [2]. These deals are part of broader promotions, including buy-one-get-one offers, making bulk shopping a smart move.
Meanwhile, Alo is running its own Early Black Friday sale, offering 30% off fall workout gear [1]. The sale is live and available to shoppers now, with pricing and availability accurate as of publish time.
Both sales highlight a growing trend: retailers are pushing early deals to capture holiday shoppers before the traditional Black Friday weekend. With limited-time offers and high-demand products, experts recommend acting fast to secure the best prices [2].
