I don't shop at Ulta all that much, even though I love the store and its easy to browse mix of high end and drugstore products, not to mention its excellent reward's program. However, I do place an online order from time to time as they stock the hair dye I use which none of my local shops sells (John Freida Precision Foam Color, in case you were wondering) and it is also a good way of buying bumper sized bags of Epsom Salts as it means I don't have to lug them home from the shops.
Whenever these items are running low I make sure to check the Ulta emails I receive and take advantage of their best online offers. Recently I managed to get all of the above goodies thrown in with my order (I think it was a $65.00 required spend to get this offer), as well as earning points towards future purchases, along with cashback from ebates.
Here's a quick look at what I got.
Skincare.
Patchology Mood Mask Just Let It Glow.
Although I'm not a sheet mask fan I'm looking forward to trying this one out as I have been impressed with the other Patchology products that I have tried. (Their Lip Service Gloss-to-Balm Treatment is currently my favourite lip product.) In addition to moisturising, this sheet mask contains antioxidents to protect and Niacinamide to brighten which sounds like the perfect post-party skin pick me up treatment.
Garnier Skinactive Micellar Water - 1oz.
This generous sample is going straight into my travel bag! I love getting samples and minis of Micellar Water as they are so handy to take along on trips and use for removing eye makeup, or even a full face of makeup in a pinch if needed.
Mario Badescu Cucumber Cleansing Lotion - 1oz.
This toner has Isopropyl Alcohol as it's the second ingredient and as this can be quite harsh and drying I don't think I will use it but will pass it along to someone who may.
Boscia Detoxifying Black Cleanser.
I already have a couple of sachets of this cleanser which warms on application. It sounds interesting and I'm curious to try it out sometime soon.
Juice Beauty Stem Cellular Anti Wrinkle Moisturiser.
I don't know too much about Juice Beauty, but you can't really go too wrong with a sachet of moisturiser. There are very few moisturising samples that I won't use as they can always be used as a top occlusive layer or even as a body lotion in a pinch!
L'Oreal Yuzu Lemon Pure Clay Mask.
I used another of the L'Oreal Pure Clay Masks a while ago and found it to be a little drying but I'm intrigued by a brightening clay mask and love single-use mask sachets so will give this one a go.
BlenderCleanser Liquid.
These are always handy to receive as although they may not be the most exciting sample they do prompt me to clean my brushes.
Makeup.
Ulta Gel Eye Liner 'Mink' (full-sized).
It's nice to get an eyeliner that isn't basic black for a change so I'm pleased to get this.
Maybelline Master Precision All Day Liner 'Black'.
Maybelline is really pumping this product out in gift bags, I already have a couple of these, plus numerous other black liners so will pass it on.
MAC In Extreme Dimension Lash Mascara.
This is the cutest mini mascara! I rarely use MAC products but I'm always happy to receive mini mascaras as it means I rarely have to buy a full sized one.
Too Faced Glitter Glue Shadow Primer.
This is so not my type of product lol, I'll pass this one on to a teenager.
Ofra Single Eyeshadow in 'Bliss'
This looks to be a nice easy to wear neutral shade but as I have a lot of neutral shadows I will put this into my donation/giveaway bag.
Julep Whipped Matte Lip Mousse in 'Bisou.
This wine toned lip colour has a strong pigment but it's a great colour for this time of year so I will pop it in my bag.
Haircare.
Herbal Essence Argan Oil Conditioner - 100ml.
Herbal Essence is a bit of a guilty pleasure of mine and I love getting decent sized samples of hair conditioner as I always use up bottles of conditioners much more quickly than bottles of shampoo.
Living Proof TBD Multi Tasking Styler.
I'm a real 'wash n go' type but I will try and use this as a leave in conditioner/detangler.
Sexy Hair Love Oil Moisturising Oil.
The name of this makes me shudder, but I love a good hair oil so I will certainly try it out.
Perfume.
Narciso Rodriguez Fleur Musc.
I already used this sample. It's easy to wear but a little sweet for my liking and it did fade away pretty quickly.
Juicy Couture Oui.
I've yet to try this but I was pleasantly surprised by the last perfume I tried by Juicy Couture so I'm hoping I will like this one too.
If you're impressed by this GWP/sample haul why not sign up for emails at ulta.com They frequently have offers such as this and I'm sure that their post-Christmas sale will be excellent as well.
