Ulta Haul! Products by Shea Moisture, Rimmel, Maybelline, Covergirl, Anastasia and Hot Tools [VIDEO]

March 23rd, 2015 by Karen 21 Comments

GURL, you don’t even know. My usual plan of attack when I go to Ulta (or Sephora, or Target, or CVS, or any other place where I can physically pick up makeup and drop it into a basket or cart) goes like this: if I can’t carry it to the register with my own two hands, it’s not leaving the store with me.

This usually prevents the urge to keep throwing stuff (and by “stuff,” I mean everything and the kitchen sink) into my basket.

Usually.

It didn’t work the last time I went to Ulta.

(Long story…)

Here are the products I picked up and which ones I’m loving (and not loving) from that visit.

Products mentioned…

  • Shea Moisture Superfruit Complex Hand & Body Scrub, $9.99
  • Shea moisture Coconut & Hibiscus Bath and Body Massage Oil, $9.99>
  • Rimmel Natural Bronzer in Sun Bronze, $4.99
  • Maybelline Brow Drama in Deep Brown, $7.99
  • Covergirl Natural Lash in Clear, $5.99
  • Anastasia Brow Wiz in Dark Brown, $21
  • Hot Tools Black Hair Pins, $3.49

As always, thank you again for watching!

Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,

Karen

P.S. Have you been to Ulta lately? What should I grab on my next trip?

    I need to try these Shea Moisture products and the Rimmel bronzer.

    I just went to Ulta on Saturday. I picked up the NYX intense butter glosses 🙂

      Hi Agata,

      Sweet! What shades did you get? Did you find any other treasures?

        I got Tres Leches and Funnel Delight, totally because of you!

        The main reason I went to Ulta was to get the steal of the day which was the UD Primer Potion for only $10! I also got a new Essie nail polish.

    Karen, you are ADORABLE. (You really do carry a Reese Witherspoonian likeness.) Even when you’re feeling “so-so” about a product. Ulta needs to swap those products on account of your adorableness.

    Anyway, I am so happy you love *my* Ulta ride or die products, the Brow Wiz and the Shea Moisture Superfruit scrub. Did you know Ulta now carries a Shea Moisture Tahitian Noni & Monoi scrub that smells even 50x better than the Superfruit?! It comes in a neon green I know you and Tabs would wholeheartedly approve.

      Hi Katie,

      You’re too sweet. Funny that you mention the Reese Witherspoon thing… I get that a lot, LOL.

      That Tahitian Noni scrub sounds WONDERFUL! Officially on my list, along with some stuff from It Cosmetics. 😀

      If you have any other Ulta recs, holla! And have a wonderful week, ok?

    I haven’t seen your video *yet* as it’s in my YT playlist so it’ll come up soon but I wanted to drop a quick note saying thanks for the vids as I rarely comment on YT. Well, I rarely comment, actually. Perhaps I should start more? I digress…also, not a fan of those ad vids automatically playing when I view a blog – just saying!

    I’m canadian so Ulta is a highlight of any stateside visits – definitely looking forward to checking out the IT Cosmetics brushes, etc when I come down soon. Hopefully you’ll have a review of their products and brushes in the future!

    Thanks for the awesome blog and now awesome vids 😀

    I bought the best of becca set at Ulta, more UD primer potion in sin (it was their deal of the day for $10 I couldn’t pass) and some Umberto Beverly hills hair dye (I have repurchased this multiple times). I visit Ulta wayyyy too much. Really close to my work and when I take my dog to the park there is one on the way home -_-

    I also recently purchased a new Zoya polish in Sage (one of their new satins) and it is super pretty! I also bought this Orly nail hardener since I am rough on my hands so we will see how that goes.

    The Shea moisture stuff you picked up looks good!

    Oh and I wanted a NYX Intense butter gloss (thanks to your post) but my Ulta’s were all sold out! They have been really cleaned out of NYX lately so I settled for a regular butter gloss instead.

    I’ve had my eye on that Rimmel bronzer for some time. It’s a great brand so I have no idea why I haven’t picked it up yet. Will have to do that soon. I’ve visited Ulta a few times recently to get some items on sale during their 21 Days of Beauty event. Got the Tarte Lights, Camera, Lashes mascara and UD eyeshadow primer potion for $10 each. Score!

    You are so lovely Karen! I enjoy watching your videos. I like that bronzer buti should finish what I have. I am really digging your shirt. Are you using your laura mercier foundation or dior?

    I do the exact same hands-only-no-basket shopping strategy too! That’s how I know the new OPI shine polishes don’t break easily. 😉 I picked up a whole bunch of lashes on my last trip to Ulta for my brother’s fiancée. I’m doing her makeup for their wedding and we’re practicing and messing around a lot – it’s so much fun! I also got some clear Maybelline mascara for brows, one Revlon HD lipstick and a couple of the new Rimmel Kate Moss lipsticks. I have a hoarding problem but now I call it wedding makeup research…

    I totally love Ulta! I was just there last Friday to get the Clarisonic Mia that was on special. I ordered 4 of the Intense butter glosses and I’ve only worn tres leches. I wanted to let you know that the NYX Microbrow pencil is totally comparable with the Brow Wiz and much cheaper. I ordered 1 to try and it’s great! I also ordered 2 of the NYX HD blushes and I totally love them.

    I have the exact same problem with that style of hair pin too – so glad I’m not the only one 🙂 my hair isn’t particularly unruly, but there is quite a lot of it and it’s very shiny so clips and pins tend to slide out really easily. I dream of an up do! I also have to do the no basket thing, but in superdrug and boots rather than sephora and ulta, being a UK-based make up obsessive. Thanks again for the great vid! Xoxo

    Got my Ulta shipment yesterday! I totally bought those same two SheaMoisture products. I love their body (especially scrubs) and hair products and I’ve never tried their Superfruit one so I said why not at BOGO. I also ordered some NYX stuff and a deluxe sample of Becca’s Topaz Shimmering Skin Perfector. On the first day of their 21 Days of Beauty sale I ran in for the Best of Becca Collection. Love it!

    Just back from Ulta and I picked up that Shea Moisture. I just opened it to get a whiff and buuuuuumer…. leave it to me to pick up the one that is all dried out and crusty 🙁 I’ll go exchange it tomorrow, I can’t wait to try it! With all the rain and cloudy skies this fruity mango concoction will help make it feel sunny out for sure!

Hi there! I’m Karen, your friendly neighborhood beauty addict, and I’m a Bay Area girl who hoards brown eyeshadow and covets coral lipstick. Every morning, I wake up and say, “I’m going to do something other than a smoky eye today.” Then…I end up doing a smoky eye anyway (most days). When I’m not putting on makeup, taking pictures of makeup or writing about makeup, which I’ve been doing daily since 2007 (!), you’ll find me hanging out with my hubby (“El Hub”), my four-year-old daughter (Connor Claire) and my torbie girl cat (Pretty Girl Rosie, a.k.a. PGR).
