I don't know about you guys, but I love Ulta. When San Angelo finally got one I was stoked. It was nice having one in your college town and then you go home to nothing.

Well, I have an Ulta card and get those every 2 week coupons so I had an excuse to go spend some money.

[From Left to Right]

Rimmel Stay Matte Primer- I had seen on a blog somewhere (hello, pregnancy brain) about Rimmel carrying primer. I saw today that they had a matte one which helps prevent shine for up to 8 hours. I had to jump on that. I am one of the shiniest T zone girls on earth. Thanks dad. 

Olay Sensitive Cleansing Wipes- I always use make-up remover cleansing wipes at night when I am lazy and then I use them when I get out of the shower because face wash never fully gets everything off. Well, since the pregnancy my skin has been super sensitive so decided to try these. I mean I used to use Noxema Blackhead Pads religiously and my skin screams now. 

Ulta Blender Sponge- Once again saw this on a blog. My friend Kelsey talked about an off-brand sponge and so could not wait to purchase it. Not sure if this is the exact on she was talking about, but it had the same directions and look as the other. You get this little piece of magic damp and dap it into your make up and blend it across your face. The point is awesome because it helps get under your eyes, around your nose, and by your hairline. 

Batiste Brown tinted Dry Shampoo- I have used this stuff for about a year and it is GOLD! I hate all the others that leave a white residue in my dark hair and even smell funky. 

New L'oreal Butterfly Mascara- I am a sucker to try every and any new mascara. I of course saw this on a commercial and was sucked in. I already use all L'oreal mascaras so surely it won't let me down. 

What are your favorites you pick up at your Ulta store? Anything I shouldn't live without?

L'Oreal Mascara Review

This right here is my all time favorite mascara.

L'Oreal Telescopic Shocking Extensions

I started using it in April and haven't skipped a month. I personally can't use mascaras that have a thicker soft bristle brush because it always ends up touching my eyelid so this works perfectly. My eyelashes are pretty short and not very full of life and this perks them right up. Nothing makes my eyelashes magical, but I love how easy and clump-free this is. I like to use this mascara because you can do just the one coat for everyday wear or with just two it make my eyelashes come more in depth for a night look. If I need even more flare I put one coat top and bottom lashes first, then curl them and then add another coat and wa-lah!

What's your favorite Mascara?

Winter Nail Polish

Let me get this straight, I am obsessed with any nail polish, but Essie just snags at my heart every time I see it. 

I only own one of these colors and it is the Midnight Cami. I am on the look out for the rest(& they actually sell them here!) because they are the perfect winter shades. A nude is always my go to no matter the season which is why I added in the Jazz color. With Essie nail polish I can get my nail polish to stay a good week with no chips. Here is what I do & use:

1. File 

2. Buff

3. Base coat- Strong Adhesion by China Glaze

4. One coat each hand, let dry

5. Second coat each hand, let dry

6. Top Coat- Fast Forward by China Glaze (It really does dry so quick!)

TA-DA!

-China Glaze also has so many awesome treatments, Base coats and Top coats! Since I have my Cosmetology License I can get China Glaze close to half off which is always a huge plus in my book.
