The time has come to save big on some of the boldest names in beauty, and you can bet your bottom dollar I’ve been taking a fine-tooth comb to Target’s long-awaited 21 Days of Beauty savings event, where best-selling makeup and skincare is currently 50 percent off. I can tell you this: the options are good. Really good. In fact, today’s lineup of discounts involves Juice Beauty Stem Cellular CC Cream SPF 30, an anti-aging tinted moisturizer beloved by celebs like Kate Hudson.
Target’s 21 Days of Beauty event is kind of like a flash sale in that different products are discounted each day, and the glam-stravaganza goes from now through Saturday, September 16. But they must have saved the best for the last, because this final weekend also includes a top-rated under eye concealer by IT Cosmetics — the cult-status brand beloved by stars like Jessica Alba. Also on deck this weekend are cosmetic heroes by Smashbox, Benefit, Mac and other brands from Target’s Ulta Beauty line.
Remember, each 50 percent-off deal from Target’s 21 Days of Beauty is available for one day only, and the featured items are switched up daily. You might even catch some online-only discounts during this sale, and purchases of Ulta beauty products count toward your Target Circle and Ultimate Rewards programs. I’ve hand-picked six of the sweetest deals from the sale. If your face lights up when you spot these savings, just wait till you see what the beauty products themselves can do.

Juice Beauty Stem Cellular CC Cream SPF 30
Target
If you haven’t gotten a CC cream into your skincare routine yet, start with Juice Beauty Stem Cellular CC Cream, a clean, plant-based formula that uses mineral SPF 30 to also act as a sunscreen. CC stands for color-correcting, so this tinted moisturizer acts as a lightweight concealer, too, balancing out your skin’s tone while keeping it hydrated and reducing the look of fine lines and wrinkles. Kate Hudson has said she’s “vigilant about sun protection” and uses Juice Beauty Stem Cellular CC Cream SPF 30 to protect her A-list complexion.

Smashbox Halo Color Tint Blush
Target
I gave powder blush the boot a year ago and never looked back, because cream tints are just superior in my humble opinion. Smashbox Halo Color Tint Blush is a great example of that. Just swipe a bit along your cheekbone or to the apples or hollows of your cheeks, whichever you prefer, and enjoy a rosy or peachy glow that doesn’t cake flake. The vegan, blendable blush goes on creamy thanks to Sunflower, Jojoba, and Apricot Oils and settles into a matte finish.
