Ulta Beauty pulls out all the stops for sales, and its latest is no exception.

Now through July 4, shop 34 pages of beauty products on sale (it’s a good kind of overwhelming). Below, our editors sifted through the makeup, skin care, and hair products for the hidden favorites you can’t miss.

Fourth of July is this week, which means you’ll probably spend most of your time watching fireworks as opposed to the new TV shows and movies coming out. If you do want a break from the sun, though, there are nine titles—both new and old—you should put on your radar. From the premiere of new films like Sorry to Bother You to classics arriving on Netflix, this watch list will keep you cool in between trips to the beach.
Power: Power is an entertaining show for many reasons; it’s wildly dramatic, set in a world where the stakes are pretty high, and features a really talented cast. Most importantly, however, it includes Omari Hardwick, North America’s hottest man. Do you need any more reason to tune in? Season five kicks off tonight. 9 P.M. ET on Starz

The Sinner, Season 1: This USA TV show was one of last summer’s breakout hits. It centers on a woman (Jessica Biel) who inexplicably stabs a seemingly random man in public at the beach. The catch is, though, even she doesn’t know why she did it. Streaming on Netflix

In theaters
