What to buy at Ulta's 2022 Love Your Skin Event
Alison Pegg
It’s the most wonderful time, of the year…
Yes, I get the irony of using that phrase on January 2nd. But if you’re a skincare lover like me, it is a wonderful time because Ulta’s Love Your Skin event is BACK.
I LOVE this sale. More than all of their others. It’s so approachable, introducing me to some amazing products at half-price that I’ve grown to LOVE.
So if you’re looking to ramp up your skincare routine or just stocks up on some of your faves, here are my picks for what’s worth buying at this year’s event.
Ulta’s Love Your Skin event runs from January 2 – 22. Don’t forget to check their app for extra deals if you’re a platinum or diamond member.
January 2: NuFace Trinity Facial Toning Device
Ulta is kicking off this sale (and 2022!) with a bang – with NuFace! This price is great for the full size version – I own the mini and love it. I use it a couple times a week and have noticed quite and improvement in my skin. It only adds 10 minutes to your night routine – so worth it for the results.
January 3: Skyn Iceland Firming Eye Gels
These eye gels are so convenient for travel, they’re not super goopy and won’t make a mess in you bag. What I love most about them is they DON’T BUDGE after you put them on, you don’t have to worry about them slipping and sliding around your face. At this price they’re a steal – no wonder Patrick Ta uses them on all his clients!
January 4: Live Tinted Eye Masks & Banila Clean It Zero Cleansing Balm
I’ve been hearing for years how beloved Banila balm is in k-beauty circles, so I thrilled to see it for the first time during this year’s event. Definitely picking this up for sure. I’m also a sucker for cutely shaped eye masks, so definitely picking up these Live Tinted eye masks for the first time as well.
January 7: COSRX Treatment Toner
Another *want to try* product for me, this Treatment Toner has been in my “save for later” shopping bag for years. My current Indie Lee toner is almost out, which is perfect timing to pick this one up.
January 9: Sunday Riley Power Couple Mini Kit
Good Genes is one of my holy grail products. It’s desert island for me. If you’ve never tried Good Genes and always wanted to, this mini size is a steal to test out this cult lactic acid treatment. Just remember: don’t use it daily when trying it out :)
January 14: Lancome Bi-Facil Eye Makeup Remover
This stuff is legendary, it’s the best for removing heavy eye makeup, hands down. As events and nights out hopefully start to pickup here soon, this eye makeup remover is great to have on hand for stubborn waterproof mascaras and glitter eyeshadows. Just add some to a cotton pad, hold it in place over your eye, and let the product work its magic and remove everything.
January 15: Shiseido Benefiance Wrinkly Smoothing Eye Cream
If you only buy one thing from this sale, BUY THIS. This eye cream is another holy grail product of mine, especially when using it at night. (This entire line from Shiseido is fantastic.) Your eyes wake up brighter, smoother, and refreshed - regardless of how many hours of shut-eye you got the night before.
January 16: Estee Lauder Advanced Night Repair
This stuff is so legendary, famous beauty editor Alex Steinherr refers to it by ANR only. It’s the perfect nighttime serum to follow your retinols or acids - add a layer of hydration of this serum before your heavy creams and moisturizers and wait for the amazing results. In winter, I’ll even use this when my skin needs a little extra TLC, its perfect on those skin rehab days when it gets super cold. And you guessed right, of course it's a holy grail/desert island list too.
January 20: Elemis Cleansing Balm
This cleansing balm has been part of this event for a couple years, and each time I’ve been meaning to pick it up to try. Normally I can’t justify spending $60 for a face cleanser, but at $32, it might be time to finally add this one to my cart.
