Black Friday is mostly known as the day bargain-hunters camp out for discounted electronics and toys. However, beauty lovers know it’s also one of the best times to stock up on makeup and skin-care goodies.

Ahead of the shopping holiday, Ulta Beauty has released the details of its online and in-store Black Friday offerings. The store will have a few Black Friday-exclusive gift sets from brands like Too Faced and MAC, as well as full-sized items for much less than their retail value.

Like most retailers, Ulta Beauty is starting its Black Friday sale a day early on Thursday. The deals start at 5 p.m. online and 6 p.m. in stores.

From half-price palettes to hair dryers, here are some of this year’s best Ulta Black Friday deals.
