New Ulta Beauty Buys!



Good morning everyone!  I went on a little shopping spree at Ulta yesterday and picked up these 6 items.  I was out of hairspray, foundation/powder, and almost out of my go-to eye shadow.  So, I decided to try some new things!

I am most excited about the Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Eraser (Brightener #60). I have heard amazing things about this product and loved it after my first test run.  I put it over my foundation and blended it under both eyes.  It definitely gives you that bright open-eyed wow factor.  This product is really amazing and made my eyes seem so much brighter and more awake.  

I also am excited to try the Redkin Guts 10 root spray as a new volume booster for my hair.  Will definitely post later about how this worked and if I liked it.

I usually am a Mac Studio Fix Foundation girl (have used it for about 5 years now)....But I decided to give this Smashbox High Definition Foundation Bare Minerals Original SPF 15 Loose Powder a try.  Will let you know how it goes!  I also got another bottle of the Sebastian Shaper Plus Hair Spray.  I use this alot and find that it gives a great hold for my hair...especially when I need to wear it in a pony tail for work.

My last fun product is the Smashbox Eye Shadow Palette.  This is from their Soft Box collection and I love all of the colors.  I tend to wear neutral shades during the day and they all seemed to blend really well.  Plus, it was something new for the Spring season ahead!

Do you all have any go-to beauty products that you love?  Would love to hear about them!

Happy Wednesday!

  1. I like the colors in that soft box! I'm a mostly a neutral shadow girl too! I've heard great things about Bare Minerals but haven't tried them myself. I love Laura Mercier and Bobbi Brown products!
