It's that time of year again! We've reached the end of November, which means beauty lovers can now score major deals on skin, hair, makeup, and body essentials to bring in the New Year in style. One of the biggest beauty retailers I start monitoring long before its savings events is Ulta Beauty, whose Black Friday sale kicked off on November 23 and will last through today, November 30. Ulta Beauty never fails to deliver jaw-dropping discounts on everything I've had sitting in my virtual shopping basket. Believe me—I've been waiting for the perfect opportunity to treat myself to great beauty finds.
Below, I'm sharing the 30 products I'll be shopping from buzzy brands such as Sunday Riley, Fenty Beauty, Lanolips, and more. But hurry, the clock is ticking! You'll want to snag these products at great prices before they fly off the shelves.

This essence is so nourishing, it makes your skin glass-like.
As soon as I reached my mid-20s, fine lines and dark circles began making an appearance under my eyes. To help reverse signs of aging, I use these ultra-hydrating gel eye patches by Peter Thomas Roth because they're infused with skin-revitalizing hyaluronic acid and collagen.
Skincare extends just beyond the face. Hydrate your body with this lightweight moisturizer.
My last facial revealed just how much I need to add a fast-acting exfoliant into my skincare routine. This best-selling product not only provides deep exfoliation, but it also disguises fine lines and wrinkles within minutes of initial application. It also wards off acne, blackheads, and more.
One of the things I've been told about my skincare routine as a 20-something is that I can stop sneaky signs of aging in their tracks by adding collagen right now. This Mediheal product uses 99% pure retinol and low-molecular collagen to deliver fuller, smoother skin by pumping up its firmness.
Your skincare-obsessed friend will love this holiday gift set.
Celebs like Lindsay Lohan and Sabrina Carpenter swear by this product to achieve luscious lips, and I can't wait to stock up on it. The Lanolips balm locks in hydration with naturally derived lanolin to keep skin smooth and supple. I like to use it as a nightly lip mask since the balm is so light and nonsticky.
Seen's best-selling Magic Serum has become one of my favorites to shop during huge sale events. It reduces frizz, adds nonstop shine and nourishment, and strengthens and protects the strands from damage and breakage from heat styling.
I swear by my Nuface. It lifts my cheek bones and depuffs my eyes.

What I love about this mascara is that it makes the eyelashes look longer and fuller. Plus, it stays on all day and doesn't flake.
This product has nearly 23,000 five-star reviews.
If you know me, then you'll recall just how much I appreciate creamy lip pencils in pigmented chocolate brown. MAC's Lip Liner in Chestnut is one of my go-tos since it blends perfectly into my two-toned lips. I also love how the product stays put through the day, keeping my lip combos fresh.
No minimalistic eye makeup look of mine is complete without a few layers of this buildable mascara. It creates lifted, defined lash looks using an extremely pigmented formula that coats eats lash evenly for a dramatic effect. I also really like the brush, which is tapered and easy to use on my tricky inner-corner lashes.
This eyeliner is great for beginners because it makes the application process smooth and easy.
Umbrian Clay can be used to instantly remove impurities that could clog pores as well to spot treat imperfections.

If you haven't tried adding sake or rice water to your product lineup, you're missing out! The Perfect Clean Scalp Balancing Sake Rinse restores your scalp's natural balance while removing product buildup and impurities. It also smells amazing with notes of Japanese almond flower and violet.
This product is a game changer, specifically for those with dry and frizzy hair.
While I love wearing my protective styles during the spring and summer, fall and winter are prime time for silk presses. I always make sure my curls are protected from harmful heat with a spray like this one by Wella. It offers protection against high temperatures and smoothes your hair.
If you don't use a heat protectant before using a hot tool, this is your sign to.
Of all the great launches I've seen over the last year, GHD's Duet Blowdry 2-in-1 Hair Dryer Brush has been the hair tool that's surprised me the most. It helps create salon-level styles by drying and adding shape and volume to the hair with no heat damage since it's at such a low temperature.
Trust me—Your blowouts will never be the same after you use this premium hair dryer.
Another multipurpose drying and styling tool I like to use is this one by Revlon. The One-Step Volumizer Plus Hair Dryer and Hot Air Brush uses ceramic titanium tourmaline technology and charcoal-infused nylon pins to help you create stunning hair looks in minutes.
An amazing hair spray that adds texture, creates volume, and holds any type of hairstyle in place.
Lastly, I'll be grabbing this versatile styling tool to add ample bounce and movement for the longer styles I try over the next few months. It features an extended barrel that heats up quickly for long-lasting, bouncy waves. It also works for all hair types and has a digital heat setting that reaches 450˚F.
