If you know me at all, it's no shock that I'm OBSESSED with all things makeup, and nearly died when my town got an ULTA in November.
I hit platinum with my last purchase, meaning I'll earn 1.25 points per dollar spent, 3x bonus points when offered, and other cool things. I'm now Platinum through the end of 2016.
Recently, I went to grab a few things because they were doing bonus points. I also starting receiving the ipsy bags last month, so I thought I'd do a blog post about both.
ULTA Haul
Travel Size BB Tinted Treatment 12-Hour Primer SPF 30 in Medium, $10
I picked this up in the medium shade on accident, but it should work well for when I'm a little more tan during the summer and don't want to wear full coverage foundation. It blends seamlessly and leaves my skin feeling lightweight, but still covered.
eos Lip Balm in Coconut Milk, $3.49
I picked up my second (!! it's a miracle, really) one of these. I use it at night before I go to bed and in the mornings at the start of my beauty routine to leave my lips feeling soft and moisturized before I put lipstick on. It's a little too moisturizing to wear right before lipstick, but it's great on its own.
Precision Blending Sponge, $5.99
I originally wanted the Real Techniques Miracle Complexion Sponge because I LOVE everything they've put out, but unfortunately my ULTA was out of them. The manager suggested this, and after using it a couple days, let me tell you something. This is AMAZING. My foundation and concealer go on SO smooth and look flawless after. It makes my full coverage Tarte Amazonian Clay foundation feel a little more lightweight and natural.
Trina Sun Daze Medium Clutch, $24
I love this bag! It has a small mesh separator that divides it into parts which makes storing brushes and makeup easier. I can also fit both of my Naked Palettes (1&3), and my Tarte Park Ave Princess Contour Palette in it and it still zips easily with quite a bit of space left inside.
ipsy Floral Fantasy (March 2015)
Coolway Glow Oil Treatment
I haven't tried this yet, but I'm excited to see how it makes my hair look on days it looks flat and dull.
Crown Brush Infinity Shadow/Crease Duet Brush
This is probably what I'm most excited about in my bag this month. I LOVE a good pencil brush, which is what the crease brush is. The other side is large and domed a little bit, which is perfect for blending or sweeping shadow from lid to crease.
Mesmerizing Mineral Duo
Holy cow! These colors are both natural browns with a fair bit of shimmer in them. They remind a bit of the consistency of Urban Decay shadows when I swatched them. Perfect for an easy look as you're running out the door!
NYX Butter Lipstick in Hunk
I'm disappointed with how this swatches, honestly. I was hoping it'd be a deep purple, almost plum shade. Instead, it swatches more fuchsia and closer to the pink end of the spectrum. I'm sure I'll love it, but man, the color is misleading.
skyn ICELAND Hydro Cool Firming Eye Gels
Man, there's nothing more I love than a good face mask, a lush bath, and some TLC for my eyes. I'm really excited to try these out and see if they make any difference on my dark circles.
Let me know what you think! Is there anything you love or hate? Anything you think I should pick up on my next go round at ULTA?
