Every now and then, I find myself in an ULTA. I was out of my favorite lotion, so I needed to buy another bottle, and well…I picked up a few other things. Who can go to ULTA and just buy one thing?!
I LOVE Real Techniques brushes. They are affordable and great quality. I own most of them, but there were two more I wanted to try. I have been wanting the Blush Brush and the Sculpting Brush, so I went ahead and grabbed both. The packaging is so pretty with the pink metallic color, and the bristles are SO SOFT. Love them.
I actually went to ULTA for this body lotion that I love. This is Nivea Essentially Enriched Body Lotion for Dry to Very Dry Skin. The reason I like this lotion so much is cause it makes me shiny. It is so moisturizing and just makes my skin glow. I also like the scent because it’s not strong, and it just smells fresh. I don’t like scented lotion, but I don’t mind this one. It’s just regular lotion but it kind of gives the body oil look.
I can’t go to ULTA without grabbing some nail polish, and so I picked up another CND color called Pink Bikini. Have y’all tried this nail polish brand? It is the best I’ve ever used! Lasts at least a FULL WEEK! I’ve got a review here. Anyhow, this color is so pretty. It is a hot pink creme and it reminds me of watermelon and summer. It is the perfect color for toes, I think! But, I already put it on my nails, because I CAN’T WAIT. This is after four days of wear.
Another color I snagged is Essie’s Virgin Snow. This color is unlike any other color I own-it’s a very very light but bright lilac color. Even though it is a very light color, it was opaque for me in just two coats. Already tried this one on too!
I was on the hunt for the Milani Conceal and Perfect 2 in 1 Foundation, but sadly, ULTA did not carry it. I did, however, find it at my local CVS. I was excited to try this foundation, because it’s gotten really good reviews, and I like how it comes in a glass bottle with a pump. I am disappointed though because the shade I chose is way too dark for me. This is weird because I usually wear the 2nd to 3rd lightest shade in foundation and this is the lightest shade it came in. I did really like the formula when I first applied it though, so that’s a bummer.
These Maybelline Vivid Matte Liquid Lipcolors are fairly new, and I wanted to try them out. I stuck with a MLBB color, Nude Flush, which looks gorgeous. I’m excited to see how this works.
The last thing I picked up was the Rimmel Scandaleyes Retro Glam Mascara. This mascara is supposed to be a dupe for the Too Faced mascara, and from first glance, the brush looks exactly the same! I’ll try this out and let you know if it’s a good dupe.
So, that’s all that I got from the drugstore. I love the drugstore. Let me know if you want a full review on anything I mentioned, and I’ll be glad to do it!
Thanks for reading! xx
I love an Ulta haul! I’m very impressed with the Maybelline Vivid Matte Liquid Lipcolors. They don’t dry out my lips as much as the Revlon liquid lipsticks and have great staying power. I hope the Rimmel Scandaleyes is a dupe for Too Faced!!

I really like them!!! They weren’t as long wearing as I was expecting, but I don’t mind re-applying! They aren’t drying, yay! I haven’t tried the mascara but I will make sure to do a review once I try it!! 🙂
The only products I’ve truly had stay on for about 4-5 hours are the Lime Crime Velvetines and the Stila Stay All Day Liquid lipsticks! Yay I can’t wait to hear a review!
I haven’t tried either one of those! Do they dry out your lips? I love the Colourpop ones but they dry my lips out a bit.
My lips are very sensitive and the Stila lipsticks did a tad, but I don’t remember dryness with the Velvetines.
I’ll have to try those out!!! Thanks Kristen! 🙂
I love real techniques brushes too! That’s a shame the color you got in the milani foundation was too dark. Maybe you can exchange it?? I’ve only heard good things about that foundation!

I was so disappointed! I think I am going to give it to my sister, I’m pretty sure that shade will match her! I just wish it came in a lighter shade. It seems like a really good foundation. Thanks for stopping by! 🙂
Beautiful color choices! Especially the Esse nailpolish and the Maybelline lipgloss.
Thank you!!! Glad you liked them 🙂
