Every year, Memorial Day Weekend conjures fantasies of impending vacations and road trips to glamorous destinations near and far. The less glamorous aspect of these escapes? Packing. I love having makeup bags designated for travel so I'm ready to go immediately without worrying about forgetting my daily essentials. If you, too, are preparing to stock up, consider one of the many Memorial Weekend sales in the beauty realm, including Ulta's beauty sale, which takes up to 50 percent off makeup and skincare staples across the entire site.
Of the almost 500 products on sale, I uncovered 20 best deals for re-stocking your travel bag or discovering new favorites. Ahead, unprecedented deals, including makeup products that cost less than $5.
This wildly popular straightener is now a whopping $100 off, so you can snag this status beauty item for less than ever before.
If you don't have the funds or time to get your brows shaped at the salon, consider this affordable set. It includes both a spoolie and a pair of curved scissors so you can create the brows of your dreams from the comfort of your bathroom.
Lipstick for only $2? Count me in. This matte formula is vegan, cruelty-free, and promises to stay on all day with smudging or feathering.
This sharpener, with its two barrels of varying sizes, is perfect for keeping your lip, brow, and eye pencils as sharp as possible at all times. It also includes a blade-cleaning stick so you don't have to struggle to get sticky pigment off the blades.
This affordable palette from Milani contains a perfect mix of subtle neutrals and fiery warm colors. Matte and buildable, it's perfect for creating a litany of eye-catching summer looks.
Sometimes, all your brows need is a little swipe of gel to keep them looking tamed, and this topcoat from L'Oréal is the perfect affordable solution. It's also waterproof, making it ideal for any weather, whether you're braving the rain or sweating in the humidity.
For the skincare enthusiasts among us, it's always best to find makeup that also benefits your long-term skin health. This product, which works well as a brightening setting powder, is a perfect example of that, with its Vitamin C-infused formula that helps you glow both in the long- and short-term.
Single-use products are notoriously bad for the environment, but this cute hemp-based option is vegan, cruely-free, clean, and comes in sustainable packaging, helping you minimize your environmental impact. Plus, its natural formula is suitable for sensitive, dry skin.
If your hair is looking dull or limp, consider this volumizing conditioner from Fekkai. It contains nourishing coconut water and cottonseed oil so your hair can look and feel its best, and it also provides protection against UVA and UVB rays.
I picked up this brush when I'd forgotten my usual one at home, and it's since landed on my list of favorite products. Its nylon bristles are soft and easy to clean, and its round shape makes for smooth, even application of setting powder.
I gifted this vibrating facial massager to my mom, and she says that it's the best part of her skincare routine. It aids in lymphatic drainage and helps your skin absorb skincare, but it's also great for those with jaw or facial pain from factors like congestion and TMJ.
This shea butter and hemp-infused moisturized is free of parabens, gluten, and animal byproduct, making it ideal for those with sensitive skin. It promises to soothe irritate and soften even your driest patches.
This washable makeup sponge works great for blending foundation, concealer, blush, bronzer, and more. An at less than $5, how can you go wrong?
Household name Schick has entered the at-home dermaplaning game with this set of three razors, each of which is carefully crafted for safe, effective facial hair removal.
This angled foundation brush makes applying foundation easy and fast, and its vegan bristles are a breeze to clean. Users say that it always delivers even, streak-free results.
Another option from fan-favorite hair removal brand Schick, this razor has a hydrating gel patch that soothes skin with every swipe. It's a must-have for anyone looking to avoid dreaded strawberry legs this summer.
Classic, Y2K-esque lip gloss looks are back, so you can feel free to indulge in your favorite shiny, sheer glosses. And what better brand to turn to than early 2000s favorite CoverGirl?
Countless beauty enthusiasts turn to tropical, fruity scents every summer so that they can evoke the sense of being on vacation even if they're stuck in an office. This pineapple and melon-scented body butter is a great way of channeling the seasonal trend, and its natural formula works well on sensitive skin.
This face primer creates an even, smooth canvas for makeup application. Unlike many of its competitors, however, it also contains lavender extract to soothe red, dry, or irritated skin.
This color-correcting concealer uses color theory to combat sallow skin tone. Especially effective for the under-eye area, it has a brightening, lifting effect so that you look alert—no matter how sleep-deprived you feel.
Every once in a while, even the most committed manicure devotee needs to take a break. This strengthening solution conditions nails to help them recover from scores of gel manicures and acetone. And because it's colorless, it works great as a base coat.
