Today’s the day! One of the biggest beauty events has taken over a small part of Florida.
Ulta is hosting its second-ever Ulta Beauty World ultra makeup and beauty products convention at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, Florida, on April 16, 2026. The one-day expo has more than 200 brand booths with expert panels and exclusive swag bags worth $2,000.
How hot is Ulta Beauty World? So popular that tickets, which went on sale Jan. 21, 2026, for just over $160 each, sold out within minutes, according to reports. Not long after that, Ulta Beauty customers and beauty lovers took to social media to air out their frustration and disappointment, as officials promised to expand access for the 2027 Ulta Beauty World event.
