Mini Haul♥ – Ulta

Leave a comment

Hey Loves!

Yesterday I made a little quick trip to Ulta since I needed to pick up a few things for my NYE makeup tutorial! (Should be up tomorrow night the latest!) Since I had gotten a few gift cards for Christmas, I decided to splurge on a few things that I’ve been eyeing for a while !

We all know that one of my favorite “high end” makeup brands is Urban Decay so I had to take advantage and pick up a few things from them! (Aside from the fact that I was also gifted the Naked 3 palette :)) Yay!

here is a list of what I bought on my mini shopping trip:20131229-231440.jpg

1. L’Oreal Voluminous Carbon Black Mascara – literally I’ve tried a bajillion mascara’s and yet every time I try a new one my heart beats for this one a little stronger so I had to pick it up because I’ve missed and love it that much!

2. Revlon Nearly Naked Pressed Powder – This is a newbie for me. I’m running low on my Bare Minerals Matte Foundation and wanted to step away from my comfort zone and try something new. I have high hopes for this so fingers crossed!

3. NYX – I picked up a few things from NYX and I’m not going to lie, I wanted a lot more! (I had to stop myself) The first thing I picked up was this Liquid Crystal Liner. It’s Sparkly and perfect for my NYE tutorial!

As I was walking down the aisle  I noticed the Butter Lipsticks were finally in stores and you know I HAD to pick some up! anyone who’s a fan of the butter glosses MUST try the lipsticks! I picked up two : Fireball and Razzle Fiesta. Cannot wait to try these out!

4. Too Faced– I’ve been dying to try the glitter glue because well lets face it, what girly girl doesn’t love glitter? …and i needed it for my NYE tutorial hehe. I have extremely high hopes for this as well so fingers crossed for this too!

5. Urban Decay– Last but not least my UD products! I tend to wear a lot of bright and bold lipsticks but for some reason they always end up feathering out. I’m not sure if it’s because my lips are always super dry or if the lipsticks are drying out my lips which causes them to feather? anywayyyy, I ended up getting the UD Lip Pencil in the color Ozone. It’s a clear lip pencil so you can wear it with any lipstick you please and its supposed to stop the feathering or you can use it as a primer to make your lipstick last longer!

I also picked up one of the UD lipsticks! I’ve been dying to try these because I’ve heard so many amazing reviews! I wasn’t sure what color to choose from so I settled for a nude and got the color Naked. I hope I love it!

It’s so exciting when I get completely new makeup! Can’t wait to try these out so I can write reviews on them 🙂 What makeup products have you guys picked up lately?

Mini haul ❤️ – Ulta

Leave a comment

Hey everyone! 


The other day I made a quick trip to ulta to look for the new L’Oreal la’ laque and le’ matte lip colors but unfortunately my Ulta did not have them. I was so dissappointed that I decided to look around and see if something else could fill my void of a new lip color. 

As I wandered through the NYX aisle I remembered that many of my fellow youtubers have been raving about the lip butters! Prior to this I had never tried them so I decided to pick one up. I decided to choose the color creme brulee, since it was a nice nude that could pretty much go over any lipstick.I used it the next day and absolutely fell head over heels in love with it! 


After falling madly in love with my creme brulee lip butter I got an email the next day from Ulta saying that all NYX products were now 40% off! Well, that must of been a sign from the makeup gods above because how else could i resist!? Such an amazing deal on such a wonderful product! Later that day I made my way to Ulta and picked up a few more lip butters. 

I bought the colors: Strawberry parfait, Eclair, Cherry cheesecake, Peaches and cream, and Tiramisu.

I also noticed that Revlon products were also on sale for 40% off so since I was in serious need of a new bronzer (my beloved lorac bronzer hit pan & is sort of pricey) I decided to give their photoready bronzer a shot. We shall see if it makes it into my favorites this month! 

In the same aisle as the revlon and NYX i noticed there was a whole shelf of baby lips products. I was never a HUGE fan of Babylips because lets face it, unlike 80% of the makeup lovers out there I felt like they dried my lips instead of moisturized them. I sort of looked past them until I saw they had a new product! Baby lips Dr. Rescue medicated balm. Anything medicated has to work right? Right. So far I have been loving thia product! I had a few cuts on the sides of my lips from I think a fever or just the temperature change and ive been trying everything to get rid of them but of cours nothing has worked. Well, this worked! It healed the cuts and I actually feel like my lips feel moisturized and renewed. Lets hope it keeps working! I think I want to try the colored ones too, I got the mint one because it was easy and I could wear it whenever.

With that said, that concluded my mini shopping spree at Ulta the past few days. I also recieved a cute cosmetic case from benefit as a gift. I suppose forspending  a certain amount? Who knows. The case is really cute, cant wait to travel somewhere so I can use it! 

What have been your latest Ulta finds?
