Ulta Goodies

Iv'e noticed a really bad habit forming since coming to college- online shopping. Since I have no car here I have to get most of my stuff online and with that comes spending at least $50 to get free shipping (even if I only need one thing and the shipping is $5). Since this month Ulta had its '21 Days of Beauty' deals and I desperately needed new Clarisonic brush heads I placed an order. I bought two Acne Cleansing brush heads (it was BOGO, score!) I have only used the sensitive brush heads so I'm excited to see if these help keep my evil acne away. I also was reading a blog post from fashion week and saw this product: Jolen Creme Bleach w/ Aloe; makeup artists use this to bleach model's eyebrows. Now although no eyebrows looks cool on a catwalk, thats not exactly the look I'm going for- I am going to try this out on my upper lip (hey I'm just keepin' it real) because hair does grow there. Now to complete the $50 I've been wanting to try out more Living Proof products so I got the 'No Frizz Nourishing Styling Cream' which came with samples of the shampoo, conditioner, and styling cream from the PDH line (which I've been dying to try). Finally, for my samples I received 'Something Blue' by Oscar de la Renta and 'Intenso' by Dolce & Gabbana (I just wrote a post about their S/S line, check it out!- no shame self-promo). And I made sure to include a cute little note for myself motivating me to keep studying because well, it was free and why not.

My First Body Shop Experience!

So I recently made my first purchases from The Body Shop and I am very excited to share them with you! I have an unhealthy obsession with groupon and if you don't have an account with them you need one. I was browsing the site last week and they always have gift cards you can purchase for half the price. So I bought a $30 gift card to The Body Shop and I only paid $15 for it. I don't understand why they would do this but I'm not complaining. I have also purchased promotions similar to this with Starbucks and American Apparel. I was at the outlet mall nearby and I totally forgot there was a Body Shop in there. The whole store was 40% off so I grabbed a basket and got to work.

I ended up purchasing the cult-favorite olive body butter which is so incredibly thick and luxurious. I also got the Seaweed Iconic Clay Mask; I have heard great things about this mask and having oily skin with large pores, I was excited to give this a go. I have been looking for an eye cream, I am still very young so I don't need any anti-aging properties. I am just using it for preventative reasons so I felt this was a good one to start off with. Finally I purchased the famous Shimmer Cubes quad in 06-Chocolate Box (this is their best selling shade). I am very pleased with my new goodies and I will keep you updated on what I thing of all these products!
