As a longtime beauty editor, I’ve sampled more skin care and makeup products than I could ever reasonably count — and many of my favorite luxury items are currently on sale for 20% off at Ulta. This online-only sale is the perfect time to snatch up that splurge product you’ve been eyeing, whether you’re planning on gifting your mom a floral and citrus perfume for Mother’s Day or grabbing a serum-infused lightweight concealer for yourself.

If you’re shopping for Mother’s Day, I recommend sticking to gentle, hydrating skin care (rather than something with strong active ingredients), soft and subtle makeup and general pampering products. These products are sure to delight any recipient and won’t clash with the items already stocked on their vanity, nor will you have to guess mom’s foundation shade (something that should never be attempted).
In this article: OLEHENRIKSEN Pout Preserve Hydrating Peptide Lip Treatment, Medicube PDRN Pink Collagen Gel Mask and Clinique Almost Lipstick
Ahead, you’ll find some of my favorite products from Ulta’s luxury beauty sale, divided into those perfect for gifting and ones you should keep for yourself.
Medicube PDRN Pink Collagen Gel Mask 20% OFF
PDRN improves elasticity, calms irritation and supports the skin barrier without relying on harsh actives. Gift mom this sheet mask four-pack and you can enjoy an at-home spa night together.
Charlotte Tilbury Magic Cream Anti-Aging Moisturizer with Hyaluronic Acid 20% OFF
You can never go wrong with a high-quality hyaluronic acid moisturizer, and this one from Charlotte Tilbury is among the best. It’s instantly hydrating, doubles as a primer under makeup, and comes in an elegant, angular jar with the unmistakable gold top.
OLEHENRIKSEN Pout Preserve Hydrating Peptide Lip Treatment 20% OFF
Peptide lip treatments add hydration and subtle volume, rather than dramatic plumping. This sheer, tinted lip treatment is formulated with peptides, kokum and mango seed butter and cloudberry oil.
Tarte Tartelette XL Tubing Mascara 20% OFF
My absolute favorite tubing mascara goes on bold, doesn’t smudge and comes off so easily with just warm water — no more scrubbing or raccoon eyes.
TATCHA Limited-Edition Little Luxuries Value Set 20% OFF
Japanese beauty brand Tatcha offers skin care products that help promote a dewy glow. Give Mom a sampling of the brand’s hydrating bestsellers with this value set that includes two creams, a cleanser and a lip mask.
Clinique Almost Lipstick 20% OFF
Clinique’s viral lipstick-balm combo product offers subtle, buildable color and comfortable wear. The newest shade, Nude Honey, makes a perfect gift thanks to a sheer, all-flattering hue.

Kopari Beauty Sunglaze Sheer Setting Mist Sunscreen SPF 50 20% OFF
Sun protection makes a great gift, especially ahead of summer, because absolutely everyone should be using it. This luxury SPF 50 product is spritzed on as a lightweight, nongreasy mist that hydrates skin while protecting it from the sun.
IT Cosmetics Heavenly Luxe Complexion Perfection Brush #7 20% OFF
Beauty lovers can never have enough makeup brushes, which is why they make an excellent gift. This dual-sided It Cosmetics brush (one of my personal faves) has a foundation brush on one end and a fluffy concealer brush on the other.
IT Cosmetics Do It All Radiant Concealer 20% OFF
This lightweight concealer has changed the way I do my makeup. Infused with niacinamide and hyaluronic acid serum, it sits so comfortably on my skin and blends so seamlessly that I barely notice I’m wearing it.
Charlotte Tilbury Airbrush Flawless Foundation 20% OFF
For dressier occasions when my beauty look includes foundation, I reach for this bottle by Charlotte Tilbury. It has a lightweight feel (despite offering excellent coverage) that’s perfect for warmer days.
Drunk Elephant B-Hydra Intensive Hydration Serum 20% OFF
This lightweight hydrating serum (part of my summer beauty routine) is formulated with pro-vitamin B5 and pineapple ceramide to soothe dryness and ease the look of fine lines.
Charlotte Tilbury Matte Revolution Hydrating Lipstick 20% OFF
Charlotte Tilbury’s version of a matte lipstick is the most comfortable one I’ve ever worn. It has a balmy texture that doesn’t flake. My go-to hue is the cult-favorite nude-pink Pillow Talk, but there are lots of other flattering options to choose from.
