But this week's best beauty sales are perfect for those of you who have beachside or BBQ plans all weekend and might not have time to slip away to shop.

As always, the sale vertical on the Sephora site is packed with worthwhile markdowns. Ulta's "Buy More, Save More" promotion has populated with some excellent new BOGO sales.

These sales change on the daily so don't delay if you need to stock up conditioner, masks, styling creams, and more.
