Another trip to Ulta

I once again crossed some things off the ever growing list of things that I want to buy. (mostly beauty products). I had an evening to myself and thought I would take an hour and stroll the isles of Ulta once again. Here's what came home with me. 

 Revlon Lash Potion Mascara: This is a new product on the market and I thought the packaging was really cute. However, I wasn't that impressed. It left my lashes on the dry side and didn't hold curl very well. I went back to using my maybelline falsies after a week.
Physicians Formula Youthful Wear Foundation: Ok, this is also a new product. I have never tried anything from physicians formula and I am super impressed and really loving this foundation. It's soft, smooth and doesn't leave me oily after an hour. I tried the brush it came with but prefer to use my real techniques expert face brush. (for sure going to re-purchase this!)

TreSemme Thermal Creations: This heat protectant is great. If you aren't protecting your hair before you style it with heat, shame on you! Buy this and you will thank me later. 

 Revlon PhotoReady Concealer: This is one of my favorite concealers for blemishes! I have re-purchased this for 2 years. It's amazing coverage and for the price you really won't find anything better.

Bliss No 'Zit' Sherlock: This is possibly my holy grail of skincare. For someone who has been blessed with adult acne this is the only thing that will work. It is a bit drying so I don't use the moisturizer every day. When I don't use the moisturizer I put some coconut oil on my face. It helps kill bacteria and moisturizes too. 

Essie- Bikini So Teeny: I have been waiting to buy this polish for a couple months. Everytime I go somewhere that sells Essie it's always sold out. But I finally got my hands on it. It's a pretty light blue with very very subtle fine silver specks in it. 

Ulta Haul

Birthdays are always a great excuse to slip away to Ulta for the evening to look for the perfect gift and go up and down the isles of all the beauty products. Although it is also a great way to spend more money than you actually have in your checking account. Gotta check your self-control at the door. 

This is what I bought, most of which ended up being a gift but you can't go in without getting something for yourself too!

 Real Techniques brushes are amazing! I am slowly building a collection! Designed by PixiWoo beauty guru, Samantha Chapman. Try one of the brushes and you will be in love! 

I have heard great things about this tangle teezer brush. It is supposed to be really gentle with all the tangles in your hair. Plus it's pink! 

I have been in love with EOS lip balms for a while. I have one on every level of my house and always have one in my purse. The honey suckle is a great spring/summer scent! 

NYX blushes are so pretty and pigmented! I am slowly collecting each one. This one is Peach. 

Essie Polish: Cute as a Button

How cute are these nail polish remover pads? These were a checkout grab. I am sure they will come in handy at some point. 

 These Nivea lip butters do not dissipoint! I am in love with matte lips right now and if you have cracked lips you just can't do a matte lipstick, it will show everything. This lip butter will heal your lips overnight. NO JOKE! 

Rimmel Scandaleyes Kohl Black Liner... not that impressed with this quite yet. I originally got it to line my water line but it ran down onto my skin about an hour after I applied it. I haven't tried it on my upper lid yet though. 

This trip to Ulta was an overall success. I stayed within my budget and I got some great gifts for a friend and for myself. :)
