Ulta 21+ Days of Beauty: The August 31 Deals I’d Actually Shop
Ulta’s 21+ Days of Beauty continues Monday, August 31, and I’m keeping this edit tight: products I already love, products I’ve relied on professionally, brands worth spotlighting and a few things I genuinely want to test. These are the Beauty Steals that made my list.
Tracey Tried & Tested: Supergoop! Mineral Glowscreen Soft-Radiance Drops SPF 40
I love this one. Supergoop! Mineral Glowscreen Soft-Radiance Drops SPF 40 is already a personal favorite, so this isn’t a sale pick based on curiosity. It’s a product I can recommend from experience. The radiant finish makes sunscreen feel like part of the beauty routine rather than an obligation.
TRACEY’S TAKE: When something I already use and love lands in the Beauty Steals, that’s when I pay attention.
Pro Kit Essential: Cinema Secrets Original Travel Pro Starter Kit — 5 Blings ★★★★★
Tried, tested and permanently in my kit. Cinema Secrets Brush Cleaner is the only brush cleaner I’ve used for years. As a professional makeup artist, I need something that cleans brushes quickly and gets them back into rotation fast—and this has never given me a reason to switch.
TRACEY’S TAKE: There are products I test, products I like, and then there are products I simply keep buying. Cinema Secrets Brush Cleaner is one of those.
TRACEY’S RATING: 5 BLINGS ★★★★★
Black-Founded Fragrance Spotlight: Octavia Morgan Los Angeles Midnight Orchard Eau de Parfum
Octavia Morgan Los Angeles Midnight Orchard Eau de Parfum immediately made my edit. Founder Octavia Morgan brings a Black-founded luxury fragrance voice to the sale, which gives me a much better reason to stop and smell than simply seeing another perfume at 50% off.
WHY IT MADE MY EDIT: I’m always interested in discovering and supporting Black fragrance founders—and this is one I want to experience for myself.
Skincare Classic: Clinique All About Eyes Eye Cream
Clinique All About Eyes Eye Cream makes the cut as a recognizable skincare classic. Eye care is one of those categories where a substantial discount makes trying—or replenishing—a staple much more appealing.
Currently on My Testing Table: Divi Hair
Divi is on my Testing Table as we speak. That means I’m not giving you a verdict yet. I’m using the products and giving them enough time to show me what they can actually do before I review them. Seeing select Divi hair at 50% off definitely has my attention while that testing is underway.
TESTING TABLE: Stay tuned for my results.
Want to Try: Touchland Power Essence Body & Hair Fragrance Mist
I already think Touchland’s hand sanitizers are amazing, so naturally the Power Essence Body & Hair Fragrance Mist caught my eye. The portable format also makes this exactly the kind of beauty product I like for a purse or travel bag.
ON MY RADAR: I want to try this one. If it performs, don’t be surprised if you see it again as a Friday Find or in a TSA-friendly travel beauty edit.
Beauty Editor’s Note
This is why I’m editing Ulta’s 21+ Days of Beauty instead of simply listing everything that’s 50% off. Every product here has a reason for making my cut: I love it, I use it professionally, I’m testing it, I trust the category or there’s a founder and brand story I think is worth knowing.
Daily Beauty Steals are available for 24 hours while quantities last and offers may vary by store and online.
