Skin Care
First Aid Beauty Jumbo Ultra Repair Cream
Peter Thomas Roth Water Drench Cloud Cream Cleanser
Clinique All About Clean Rinse-Off Foaming Cleanser
Dermalogica Clear Start Breakout Clearing Foaming Wash
Plummeting temperatures can be a swift (but sneaky) little thing that leads to significant skin dry-out. Before that happens, overhaul your skin-care lineup with tons of moisture-boosting products. First Aid Beauty's Jumbo Ultra Repair Cream is a great place to start. Colloidal oatmeal in the rich moisturizer helps soothe chapping and itchiness. Your skin will not only thank you for the added hydration but will also look more plumped and youthful. What's not to love about that?
A great cleanser is always good to have on hand, no matter what the season — and to be honest, you can never have too many. We're guessing this is why Ulta Beauty knocking tons of its most popular face washes down to just $15. Included in the mix is the Peter Thomas Roth Water Drench Cloud Cream Cleanser, which completely gets rid of remnants from the day without stripping away the skin's natural oils with hydrating hyaluronic acid and coconut oil.
You should also add Clinique's All About Clean Rinse-Off Foaming Cleanser, another creamy formula like PTR's, to your cart. The mousse-y face wash is made particularly for combination to oily skin. With a double-dose of hydrating glycerin and hyaluronic acid as its star ingredients, this Clinique cleanser delivers an undefeatable, gentle, non-drying cleanse that doesn't clog pores.
Before breakouts become a burden, reach for Dermalogica's Clear Start Breakout Clearing Foaming Wash as the first line of defense. You can count on the combination of exfoliating salicylic acid, bacteria-killing tea tree oil, and inflammation-reducing orange peel extract to calm and clear congested, oily skin.
Hair Care
Bed Head Urban Antidotes Resurrection Conditioner
Madison Reed Color Reviving Gloss
The Good Stuff Curl Hydration Butter
Living Proof PhD Body Builder
Now let's talk hair because, well, we're almost all still tending to our own these days. TIGI's jumbo-sized shampoos and conditioners are slashed to just $10 each and should carry you at least through the winter, depending on how often you wash. Our personal favorite is the Bed Head Urban Antidotes Resurrection Conditioner, which repairs even the most lifeless and damaged of hair without weighing it down with feather-light, protective polymers.
Speaking of reviving hair, The Good Stuff is offering a BOGO 50 percent off any product when you buy another one at full price. Curls feeling dry? The Curl Hydration Butter is a leave-in conditioner spiked with coconut oil and glycerin to help restore moisture, as well as lightweight silicones to seal in hydration — all while amping up shine and staving off breakage.
For those still hanging on to that almost year-old hair color, we're right there with you. Freshening it up yourself has never been easier, thanks to this year's Allure Best of Beauty Award-winning Madison Reed Color Reviving Gloss. Coat hair with the semi-permanent tint from the roots to ends. The conditioning color, which infuses keratin to strengthen, moisturizing argan oil, and growth-stimulating ginseng extract, leaves hair looking vibrant and refreshed.
Ponytails and buns may be your hairstyle of choice these days, but the holidays are a good reason to spice things up — even if you don't plan on leaving your house. Living Proof's PhD Body Builder is ideal for at-home styling because its root-lifting polymers volumize without all the extra work of fluffing and teasing. Did we mention it also doubles as a heat protectant for up to 450 degrees? You're welcome.

If social distancing has taught us one thing, it's that we don't need an excuse to wear makeup. We'll continue to indulge our desire to add some color to our faces by simply buying more. Ulta Beauty is indulging us in those desires with its makeup sales. Many of Kylie Cosmetics' offerings are all marked down to just $10, including the High Gloss, Velvet Liquid Lipstick, and Creme or Matte Lipsticks.
Our eyes are where it's at these days, so give Anastasia Beverly Hills' Sultry Palette Vault a whirl. In the chic box, you'll find a deluxe sample of the Eye Primer, Sultry Eyeshadow Palette with 14 mesmerizing matte and shimmer shades, liquid liner, and the Lash Brag Volumizing Mascara. Truthfully, a deal like this doesn't come around often, so go ahead and spoil yourself or someone on your holiday shopping list.
A conversation about eye shadow is null and void without mentioning Urban Decay. The Naked Cherry Palette will make you rethink ever feeling intimidated by pinks and reds. With 12 matte and shimmer shades in muted bubblegums and deep burgundy, you need this kit for decking the halls while glammed-out.
Those who prefer a broader mix of shades will likely love Juvia's Place. Each and every one of its high-octane palettes — excluding the new Wahala II — is marked down, so take your pick. If it's up to us, however, we'd choose the Best of Beauty Award-winning Warrior III Eyeshadow selection. Nine ultra-bright colors, like neon yellow, lavender, and baby blue, set this one apart from the others.
You can't have an extravagant eye look without topping it off with falsies. Kiss' holiday sets allow you to take your pick with an array of styles, ranging from simple, wispy styles to full-throttle, voluminous flairs.
One thing IT Cosmetics knows well is brushes. All of the brand's Ulta Beauty exclusives are discounted, including the Airbrush Blurring Foundation Brush #101, which gives skin a filtered-effect when paired with either a liquid or powder base.
