#ultahaul – Forty, Flirty & Fabulous

Small Beauty Haul From Target and Sephora

Hi all! I hope you’re all well and staying safe.

I have a little haul to share. I made a couple of orders — one with Ulta and one with Sephora during the recent sales. Here’s what I picked up:

From Sephora I picked up two Urban Decay palettes half price! Plus, I got the Tatcha and Youth to the People deluxe samples with my Sephora points.

The Sunday Riley set was on sale during the Ulta 21 Days of Beauty. I also picked up some soaps, and got free shipping when I purchased the skincare. I haven’t tried it yet.

These are the Ont The Run Mini Palettes in G-Train and Bailout. I have the pink and blue/brown toned ones and I wanted these two. They were on sale for $12.50 each! I should have got the last one, Highway Queen (oranges), but I’m sure I will pick it up later. I love the formula of these palettes.

This is Bailout! Gorgeous browns and purples.

G-Train is warmer and has a couple of gorgeous greens! I will hopefully be swatching and reviewing these soon. And I’m sure I’ll be using one or both of these this month in my daily Shop My Stash (check out my Instagram @fortyflirtyfab).

This is the Sunday Riley Flash Fix set. It has the Good Genes All-In-One Lactic Acid Treatment and the Ceramic Slip Cleanser. I haven’t tried it yet, but it looks really nice.

For my Sephora points, I got two duos — the Youth to the People Adaptogen Deep Moisture Cream and the Superfood Antioxidant Cleanser. I also picked up the Tatcha The Deep Cleanse and The Water Cream.

Ulta 21 Days of Beauty Haul

Hi all! Happy Wednesday! I hope your week is going well and that you are staying safe.

Today I have a little Ulta Haul. I purchased a couple of things from the current 21 Days of Beauty sale and a few other fun products. I’m not purchasing as much from the sale as I usually do. It’s because honestly I don’t need a lot of makeup and I’m trying to use some up.

I haven’t done a lot of hauls this year, so it’s exciting to get some new makeup! Here’s more information on the items I picked up:

From the sale I got the Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Wiz in Dark Brown and the MAC Cosmetics Mineralize Skinfinish Natural Face Powder in Light. I haven’t tried either of these before, so I’m excited to test them out!

Here’s a close up of the powder:

This is a slow-baked domed face powder with low-level pearlized pigments that provide a dimensional yet natural-satin finish. Can be used to set foundation and to touch-up makeup throughout the day.

I’m really loving this so far. It sets my makeup without leaving my skin looking dry or cakey.

I finally picked up an Elf Cosmetics Bite Size Eyeshadow Palette in Rose Water. These are so cute! I love the pink tones in this cute little guy. Here’s swatches:

I really like both shimmers. The mattes are nice, too! I want to pick up a couple more of these, but the shades I want are often out of stock. I’ll wait — they are only $3 each!

I saw that a YouTuber I like, Emily Noel, purchased the EcoTools Scented Soap Roses and they looked so pretty that I had to pick them up. They smell so nice!

I am a big fan of the Yes To facial wipes, so I wanted to try out the Watermelon Super Fresh ones. They smell amazing, too!

Have you picked up anything from the sale or are you planning on getting anything?

Ulta Haul — Treating Myself for Valentine’s day!

Hi All! January was a looong month! I’m glad it’s over and we are well into February. So I decided to treat myself with an Ulta Haul. This is a Valentines to myself. It helped that I had a 20% off coupon and a Christmas gift card I hadn’t used yet!

Here’s what I picked up:

I fell for this palette as soon as I saw it online, and love it even more in person! I’m excited that there are neutrals along with the pinks and purples. It will be so wearable for every day as well as special occasions.

Sorry this is a bit dirty, but that’s how it came to me. Maybe the trip was too rough for it! I ams looking forward to using it. It’s so pretty and soft. I think it will be lovely for the spring as well as now!

I have just finished my Farmacy Honeymoon Glow AHA serum and I really loved it. But I decided to try something new. Lactic Acid is supposed to be more gentle but still resurface the skin. Hopefully I’ll love the Ordinary Lactic Acid.

This Milani blush is new and I’m looking forward to trying it out!

My skin has been really dry and I need a new body cream. The Unicorn Fruit Body Butter looks like fun and smells really nice. Plus, I just wanted a new bath bomb and thought this one seems calming.

The NYX lip liner is a favorite of YouTuber Allie Glines, and I really need a new nude one.

——————————————————————————————————————————-

So, there’s my haul. Have you picked up any new makeup or skincare?

Giant Ulta Points Haul!

Hi all! I recently turned in my Ulta points and did an amazing haul! I got the items above and this advent calendar:

The Body Shop Online Only Essential Advent Calendar ($70 USD) — I can’t find this on the website anymore! So sad! It’s really cute and smells amazing! They still have the more expensive one. The Online Only Deluxe Vegan Advent Calendar. It’s $110. You can purchase it here.

Here’s the calendar open. I’m excited to open this in December!

Here are close up pics of the other items:

The pink bag was a gift with purchase. It’s full of a bunch of deluxe samples.

And I’ve been wanting the recent Anastasia Beverly Hills collabs. The top palette is the Carli Bybel palette and the bottom one is the Jackie Aina palette. I will be doing full reviews of both (and the Tati Beauty palette which I just ordered today)!

From the top is the Tarte Travel Size Timeless Smoothing Primer ($19 USD). Tati Westbrook talks about this all of the time, and I’ve decided to try it out. And I love that it’s in a mini. I always use a pore filling primer over a hydrating one. I’m using up a couple now, but I will try this out once they are used up.

I have also heard a lot about the new Benefit Boi-ing Cakeless Concealer ($22 USD). I purchased it in the shade 2, which may be too light for me. I probably should have got shade 4. But that’s okay, I’ll give it a go.

I picked up two items from Catrice — the Lip Treatment ($7.99 USD) and the HD Liquid Coverage Foundation ($10.99 USD). I love a good lip treatment and I have heard amazing things about the foundation. I picked it up in 020 Rose Beige. I haven’t tried it yet, but I’m hoping it’s an okay match to try. Of course, since I got it all with my points, it’s FREE MAKEUP! It’s not the end of the world if the match for that and the concealer isn’t perfect. I can always mix them with other products.

The other products I got are the Morphe X Jeffree Star JS4 Fly High Brush ($10 USD), Morphe Highlight & Contour Beauty Sponge ($8 USD), The Ordinary ”Buffet” ($14.80 USD) and the Peter Thomas Roth Mask MashUp ($25 USD) which is unfortunately no longer on the website.

I’ve been sick, so I haven’t really tried anything out yet, but I might wear makeup tomorrow to try somethings out. This is my largest points haul yet, and I’m so excited about it!

Ulta Fall Haul Mini Haul!

Hi All! I shopped the Ulta Fall Haul sale a couple of weeks ago. I usually go crazy on these, but I was extremely restrained this fall! I did do a large Ulta Fall 21 Days Of Beauty Haul — so I need to not go crazy on this sale!

Ulta has these haul sales twice a year — a Spring Haul and a Fall Haul. They follow the 21 Days of Beauty and focus on the drugstore or affordable half of the store. I usually love to stock up on my favorites and try new things!

Here’s what I got this fall:

Yes to Cucumbers Facial Wipes — I got this half off. I love these wipes. They are really nice for those with sensitive skin.

Skinfood Peach Sake Toner – I needed a new toner, and this one was 30% off. This smells amazing! Just like peaches and sake. This is a refreshing toner made with rice sake and peach extracts, rich in vitamins A and C, which minimize shine and the appearance of pores. The bottle is gorgeous frosted glass!

Milani Conceal + Perfect 2-in-1 Foundation + Concealer — I’ve heard such great things about this foundation. I have tried it and like it. I chose a shade called Nude, which is a bit warm for me. But I mix it with a cooler foundation and it seems to work. I like the natural finish it gives!

The Body Shop Limited Edition Vanilla Pumpkin Body Butter — This luxe body butter is in special edition seasonal packaging inspired by the traditions of Central and South America’s Dia de los Muertos. The indulgently rich formula provides 24hr moisture, infused with Madagascan vanilla and the aroma of roasted pumpkins. This smells amazing! This was half off!

I’m really happy with my purchases. Did you pick up anything from the sale?

Right now until October 26th, Ulta has a 20% off everything coupon. So of course, I used my points that I’ve saved up. That haul is coming Monday and I will show you what I got! I will be doing separate reviews of some of the products I got as well, so stay tuned!

Ulta 21 Days of Beauty — Fall 2019 Haul

Hi all! 21 Days of Beauty is now over — so sad! I did enjoy shopping over the last three weeks stocking up for fall.

As I gathered everything I purchased, I realized I got much more than I did in the spring. I picked up items I wanted to try and items for an upcoming Instagram giveaway. It’s hard to pass up such great deals! And, I have purchased great drugstore items from Ulta’s Fall Haul this week and will probably pick a few up next week, too!

I love shopping at Ulta this time of the year, and I have been racking up the points! I will probably do a points haul at the end of the year.

I picked up:

Benefit Cosmetics Precisely My Brow Pencil Ultra-Fine Shape & Define

Clinique Take The Day Off Cleansing Balm

Clinique Moisture Surge 72 Hour Auto-Replenishing Hydrator — 1 oz

Kylie Cosmetics Bare Velvet Lip Kit

Mario Badescu Facial Spray with Aloe, Cucumber and Green Tea

Mario Badescu Facial Spray With Aloe, Herbs and Rosewater

Urban Decay Online Only Travel Size Summer Solstice All Nighter Long-Lasting Makeup Setting Spray

Origins Fresh-Faced Faves Set

Kopari Coconut Lip Glossy in Clear

Too Faced Natural Face Highlight, Blush and Bronzing Veil Face Palette

MAC Cosmetics Lipstick Cream in Creme In Your Coffee

The items I’m most excited to use are the Benefit Precisely My Brow, the Origins set because it has a full sized eye cream and the Kopari Lip Glossy. A lot of this will go in my giveaway. I haven’t decided if I’m going to keep the Too Faced palette. It is so pretty!

April 2019 Beauty Favorites

Hi all! Can you believe April is almost over and May is on it’s way!

With my severe allergies, I didn’t wear a lot of makeup this month. But I was using a few skincare products that soothed my skin and was testing out some products I purchased in Ulta’s 21 Days of Beauty.

Here are the products that I have been using. If I have reviewed them before, I will include the link, if not, I will link to where you can purchase:

For skincare, I have been using the Derma E Hydrating Eye Cream every day and night. It’s moisturizing and gentle on my dry, irritated eyes. The IT Cosmetics Confidence in a Neck Cream has been keeping my neck smooth and tight. But. my favorite skincare discovery is the G.M. Collin Hydramucine Optimal Serum. It contains a combination of high and low hyaluronic acid to provide moisture while an advanced hydrating formula prevents water loss, improves water circulation within the skin, stimulates ceramide production, and boosts skin’s ability to regulate moisture levels. It makes my dry, uncomfortable skin feel instantly hydrated. And it sinks right in and doesn’t leave skin greasy. I’ve been using it day and night!

My fave complexion products include the Beautyblender Selfie Shield primer with SPF 38. I received all three new primers for review, and I am enjoying them all. This is my current fave of the three because my sensitive skin has not been liking traditional sunscreen. This is a dry oil and sinks right into the skin without irritating it. I also have been loving my bareMinerals Complexion Rescue Hydrating Foundation Stick SPF 25. I have it in the shades 1.5 Birch and 2.0 Vanilla. This is creamy and has a nice medium coverage. I can layer it on for more of a full coverage.

I picked up the Beauty Bakerie HD Flour Setting Powder (Translucent) the MAC Pro Longwear Paint Pot (Painterly (nude beige)) and the Lancome Cils Booster XL Vitamin Infused-Mascara Primer during the Ulta 21 Days of Beauty Sale. I use all three every day now and love them all. The powder sets without making my skin look cakey. The paint pot primes my lids very nicely and my shadow lasts all day! I have always loved mascara primers. It’s nice to use a high end one at half price!

My favorite mascara, which is sadly almost at it’s expiration date is the Nanacoco Outlash Mascara. It makes my lashes very long and gives some volume and separation, too. It’s not too bold, so it’s my perfect every day mascara. The lovely Urban Decay Naked Reloaded Eyeshadow Palette is my favorite palette find of the month. It’s a perfect everyday neutral palette that can be smoked up for evening looks. And I have also been loving the Urban Decay HI-FI Shine Ultra Cushion Lip Gloss. It is shiny without being sticky, and it smells and tastes minty!

What are you April beauty favorites? Any fun new finds this month?

Ulta Beauty Spring Haul 2019 Week 2

Hi all! I hope you’re having a great weekend! The fam and I went to see the Avengers Endgame today. It was three hours of action and emotion! So good!

Last weekend, I shared my first weeks haul here. Ulta Beauty has a drugstore beauty sale two weeks each spring after the 21 Days of Beauty. Each week had new sales. This is what I purchased the second week:

Tree Hut Firming Sugar Scrub Mocha and Coffee Bean

The Body Shop Banana Body Yogurt

Yes to Cucumbers Facial Towelettes

EcoTools Full Powder Brush

Juvia’s Place The Warrior Eyeshadow Palette

ULTA Watermelon Facial Mist

e.l.f. Cosmetics 16HR Camo Concealer (Light Beige (light with golden beige undertone))

L.A. Girl Shady Slim Brow Pencil (Espresso)

L.A. Girl Ultimate Lip Intense Wear Auto Lipliner (Forever Bare)

FLOWER Beauty Petal Pout Lip Mask (Smooch (petal pink))

Not pictured — Physicians Formula Butter Highlighter (Pearl) — It shipped separately, and I haven’t received it yet.

I got everything from 30 – 50% off, which is really great deals! The only product that was not on sale was the e.l.f. concealer. But, it is only $5 and I really wanted to try it!

My most exciting purchase is the Warrior Palette By Juvia’s Place. I’ve been wanting to try one of their palettes, but some of the color combos confuse me. This is a neutral palette that is very easy to use and is a safe way for me to try out the formula. I have done a look with the palette that was so pretty, and I swatched them (see below). The mattes didn’t swatch as well as the amazing metallics, but they worked well on the eyes.

So gorgeous! I am looking forward to playing with this more!

These are the rest of the color cosmetics I purchased. I have been searching for an affordable, but awesome concealer. So far I like this one. The Flower beauty gloss/mask is very pretty. I always needs a light lip pencil, and this one is such a pretty shade. My only miss is the eye brow pencil. I LOVE the L.A. Girl formula. I received a free one of this in a GWP I got with last years sale. The shade has worn off, so I purchased it in Espresso, but I think the one I have is a darker color. My brows are almost black, so this is a bit light and warm for me.

Here are swathces of thecolor cosmetics. The lippies are perfect, the eyebrow pencil a little light, and I think the concealer is a little yellow for me. But I will still try out the formula!

Let me know if you would like me to review any of this! I will probably do a Review of some of these and my 21 Days of Beauty Haul.

Did you purchase anything from the sale? Or are you going to shop the Sephora VIB sale? I’m a bit broke, so I don’t know if I will pick anything up.

Ulta Beauty Spring Haul 2019 Week 1

Hi all! Happy Easter! I hope you are having an amazing holiday with family and friends.

I just wanted to pop on here really quickly and share my latest Ulta Haul. The last two weeks, there have been sales on drugstore and affordable products at Ulta. Each week had new sales. This is what I purchased the first week (I just put an order in for the second week’s haul):

Yes to Coconuts Coconut Cleansing Wipes

Tree Hut Shea Sugar Scrub (Passion Fruit & Guava)

da Bomb Bath Fizzer in Earth Bomb, Unicorn Bomb and Glow Bomb

Wet n Wild PhotoFocus Stick Foundation (Soft Ivory)

Catrice Prime & Fine Multitalent Fixing Spray

Revlon PhotoReady Candid Antioxidant Concealer

I got everything from 30 – 50% off, which is really great deals!

I also received this FREE 10 Piece Sampler with any $40 Spring Haul online purchase. I love it when they have free gifts with purchase! I’m excited to try all of this, as well as what I bought!

Let me know if you would like me to review any of this! I will probably do a Review of some of these and my 21 Days of Beauty Haul.

Did you pick up anything from the Ulta Spring Haul?

Mini Ulta Haul

So, I wanted to go on a makeup spree, but instead I made a small online order on Ulta. Makeup Revolution is currently on sale at Ulta, buy 2 get one free. Which is an amazing deal! Plus I saw this sparkly Real Techniques powder brush and had to have it!

I am going probably going to review all of these with swatches at some time, but here are the products I just bought:

This is the Makeup Revolution Reloaded Palette in Newtrals 2. It is only $7 USD and is STUNNING! It is so pigmented and the colors are gorgeous, especially the shimmers. I will be swatching this in a review in a week or two, after I play with it. I do want to say that I like this so much I am tempted to go to Ulta and get the other 3 palettes in the Reloaded collection while the buy 2 get one free deal is still going on!

Makeup Revolution Conceal & Define Full Coverage Conceal & Contour — $7 USD. I got the shade C4. I like it so far, but I think I should have got it lighter. I’m going to play with it a bit before I review it. I hear it’s a dupe for tarte’s Shape Tape, but I haven’t tried that concealer.

Makeup Revolution Luxury Baking Powder in Lace — $8 USD — This originally just came in the banana powder shade. I don’t do well with anything yellow or orange, so I was happy to find the cream color Lace powder. I am liking it for setting makeup and baking.

Real Techniques Brush Crush 300 Powder Brush — $12.99 USD — I wasn’t happy with my powder brush, so I was looking for a fluffy one. And this is gorgeous! So fun, it makes me me smile each time I use it.
