K-beauty faves are up to 40% off at Ulta. Here's what I actually got:
Like the rest of the beauty world, my obsession with Korean beauty is borderline unhealthy—but my skin has never looked better. Thanks to the Ulta Cyber Monday sale, you can be obsessed too, without paying full price.
I lived in Korea from 2022 to 2024, which is where my obsession began. I've been using the CosRx Snail Mucin Essence ever since, but it's a cult-favorite for a reason. Right now, you can save up to 40% on K-beauty at the Ulta Cyber Monday sale, so I'm stocking up on my CosRx. But, I also fell in love with TIRTIR in 2024 and that's been TikTok's latest K-beauty brand obsession so I'm testing a new product.
If you're looking to try something new, or stocking up on your tried-and-true's, don't wait! The Ulta Cyber Monday sale ends Tuesday, December 2 at 2 a.m. CT.
Here's a look at the K-beauty products I actually bought during the Ulta Cyber Monday sale:
Here are the K-beauty products I actually bought during the Ulta Cyber Monday sale
CosRx Advanced Snail 96 Mucin Power Essence
I've been using this moisturizer for years now, anything with snail mucin is highly recommended in Korea. While you can order from Olive Young (Korea's go-to beauty retailer) in the U.S., I'm really grateful that both Amazon and Ulta love this moisturizer and regular offer discounts making it a no-brainer to stock up when it's on sale.
There are two things I love about this purchase at Ulta.
- FREE GIFT: Yes, free. When you purchase the CosRx Advanced Snail Mucin Power Essence moisturizer online from now until December 27, you get the CosRx Master Patch Intensive hydrocolloid blemish patches (18-count) for FREE!
- Choices! If you're not convinced that this is a holy grail moisturizer, you can pick up a smaller 1 oz. bottle for less than $6, which also makes a great stocking stuffer!
TIRTIR Mask Fit Red Cushion
I actually picked up my first TIRTIR product while visiting Japan, but fell in love with the TIRTIR setting spray; I swear my makeup would last all day. So, when TikTok started showing me videos testing this new cushion foundation, I was immediately interested. Now, you add in the Ulta Cyber Monday sale and this foundation is now 30% off, you can consider me influenced!
Medicube Zero Pore Pad
These Medicube Zero Pore Pads have been viral all year long in 2025, but I've resisted! Hailey Bieber, Kylie Jenner and Meghan Markle are all known fans of the brand. The sale price finally convinced me to give them a try!
