While Space NK is always going to be my first love when it comes to beauty shopping their products do tend to be at the luxury, and therefore pricier, end of the spectrum. I'd love to buy everything from them but there are those pesky little things called bills to pay...
Which is why I'm enjoying a little bit of Ulta from time to time these days. Their products range from department store/Sephora brands to drugstore ones and they stock a variety of those brands that have some great value products in their line up such as The Body Shop, Boot's and Mario Badescu. Plus they sell all of those mundane beauty items that we all need from time to time such as hair dyes, depilatory creams and nail files. Product wise Ulta really do have you covered, although I've mostly been shopping there of late to buy haircare, body care and the 'boring bits'.
If you join their Ultamate Rewards program (it's free) they offer you points on every purchase that convert into cash rewards that you can use towards future beauty splurges. Membership also allows you to take advantage of triple points days (or even x5 point days), money off coupons and numerous special offers (half priced featured products BOGO's and so on). These all add up and you can score some serious beauty bargains!
If you shop online shipping over $50.00 is free and you can score even more extra money back if you shop through a money back site such as EBates.

Ulta have frequent GWP's available, and you know how I love a good GWP!
Some of these are brand specific, some are bumper bags of samples and minis and some, like the one pictured above (yes, that's a GWP not a haul!!) are a mix of full sized products and samples.
Most of their GWP's are only available for a short time, some just a number of hours, so signing up for their emails is the best way to find out about them and snag one for yourself.

The pictured gift of bathroom treats was a recent GWP with purchases of $50.00 or more.
My actual haul was made up of Epsom salts, hair dyes and a couple of bath poufs, honestly not exciting enough to be pictured, unlike the rather generous and lovely gift.

This particular GWP contains full sizes of Rituals Ritual of Sakura Foaming Shower Gel (200ml), Zoella Beauty Soak Opera Bath and Shower Cream (250ml), and Thymes Kimono Rose Bath Salts (60g) and a generously sized sample of Frank Body Original Coffee Scrub (20g) along with a Daily Concepts Exfoliating Body Scrubber.
The value of this gift is a little over $30.00 which I think is great especially as we will use all it's products.

It's always nice to get some pampering bathroom treats and even better when they are for free, don't you think?
