I take my summer beauty prep seriously. So far, I refreshed my highlights, went in for a glow-boosting facial, and booked a mani and pedi. (The latter is necessary before breaking out all of my summer sandals.) All of this is expensive, and once it's complete, I don't necessarily have extra cash lying around. While I'm fine with making an investment when it comes to some particular high-end beauty products, I still want to save money where I can.

Lucky for me, Ulta's Memorial Day Sale is happening right now. There are hundreds of beauty products on sale—453 to be exact. I scrolled through all of them. Yep, I spent over an hour looking through Ulta's sale section with the goal of creating a great big shopping guide. Ahead, see all 18 beauty products I'm snagging while I still can. My summer beauty prep has officially been sorted.
