Ulta Beauty’s 21 Days of Beauty Spring 2025 Favorites- Week 1

Published on by essieofwhoLeave a comment

It’s time when Ulta Beauty holds their 21 Days of Beauty sale! For this year’s spring sale, there was a preview day for Dimond and Platinum rewards level members. This preview day, which was held on Thursday, March 6, was when the middle and top members of Ulta Beauty’s rewards program could shop the sale a day early.

Every 21 Days of Beauty sale, I try to write a post about my favorite products in the upcoming week’s sale. Unfortunately, I was too busy to finish a favorite post about the sale for the preview day. Instead, I will be focusing on what rewards would be available for sale for all reward program levels. For week one, I found many popular beauty products and tools on sale. My favorites are the BayBylissPRO hair dryer, Dry Bar hair curling tools, and Bionic hair curler.

Note: Not all sale prices and products are available in store and products could be dropped from the sale while others added. Please look at Ulta Beauty’s website for further information about what products are on sale and where they are located. Also, if shopping at Ulta Beauty at Target, no matter if in person or on Target’s website, please check to see which products are on sale. Not all products sold at Ulta Beauty’s official stores and website are available to purchase at Target. Please check before shopping.

All product photos are from Ulta Beauty’s website. All information featured in this post is current as of March 6, 2025.

Some of the Fragrances in My Collection Feature (And a Few Opinions About Them)

Published on by essieofwhoLeave a comment

A few years ago, after some serious health problems, I began to declutter my things. Years later, I am still slowly making my way through my things, declutting them and deciding what I ultimately want to do with them. One of the sections of my things I’m the most overwhelmed to declutter is my fragrance collection.

To me, fragrances are hard to get rid of. If I don’t like the scent, then I don’t mind getting rid of it. Yet, there are some that I like the scent of, but don’t like wearing it. Over the years, I amassed a large collection of fragrances I still don’t want to get rid of.

Even though the day is coming for me to get rid of some of the fragrances, I still want to keep them. Since I am still currently committed to keeping my fragrance collection as is, I decided to write a post featuring some of the fragrances I own and some opinions about them. All the fragrances on this post are not ones I mentioned on this blog before and were collected over the years. All the fragrances are celebrity fragrances or are inspired by a TV show, which is one of the reasons why I don’t want to get rid of them. Although there are specific fragrances in this post have scents that I like a lot, there are some I don’t. I’ll go into this a little more later in this post.

LoveShackFancy Perfume Library Discovery Set (Old Version) Review

Published on by essieofwhoLeave a comment

Last year, I purchased the LoveShackFancy Perfume Library Discovery Set from Sephora. (There is also a LoveShackFancy Perfume Library Travel Spray Set, but I won’t be talking about it in this post.) I don’t own clothes from LoveShackFancy (Partly because they’re a premium brand and the price reflects it. Partly because none of the clothes come in a size that fit me.) so I’ve been looking at other products they sell, including from collaborations with other brands such as Pottery Barn.

One of the other products I was the most interested in trying last year was their perfume line. Even though I loved the way their perfume bottles looked, they were well over $120 USD per bottle! Since it was an investment, I debated how to proceed in purchasing the fragrance to try. That’s why I was so happy to find a sample set called Perfume Library!

At the time, the Perfume Library was on sale. This didn’t make much sense to me because of it’s popularity until I realized there is would be a new fourth fragrance coming out. Since the Perfume Library contained samples of the original three fragrances, it would be discontinued. Today, LoveShackFancy’s Perfume Library is now available, but with all four fragrances. Even though I own the old version of the Perfume Library, I decided to write a review about it and compare it to the new version of Perfume Library.

Ulta Beauty Haul- Late November 2024 Part 2

Published on by essieofwhoLeave a comment

In late November 2024, I went shopping at Ulta Beauty for the third time that month. It was also the last time that year.

During this shopping trip, I went to find a shower brush. I already went shopping for a brush earlier in the month, but bought an exfoliating brush that is meant to be used dry instead. So, I went shopping again to find the shower brush I actually wanted to buy but didn’t. While there, I decided to buy two perfume sets as well. One is a set with a perfume I wanted for a few years, but never purchased. The other is a gift set with two mini versions of fragrances.

Ulta Beauty Haul- Late November 2024 Part 1

Published on by essieofwhoLeave a comment

In late November, I decided to visit Ulta Beauty twice more for more beauty products I wanted and needed. Some of the things I needed included a new shower brush, nail file, and tweezers. I thought my first trip would be the last trip for the month, but I forgot some of the things I needed. So, I ended up going back for another trip in the same month.

For my second trip, I ended up getting many of the things I originally wanted to buy. Even though I didn’t purchase everything I wanted, I am happy with everything I purchased!

Sephora Beauty Insider YSL Beauty Gift for November 2024 Feature

Published on by essieofwhoLeave a comment

This month is my birthday month! Even though I don’t like to make a big fuss about it on this blog, I still usually have something to be happy about on my birthday.

Like many people, I receive birthday gifts from stores because I belong to their rewards programs. One of the stores I’m the most excited to receive a present from is Sephora. If you are a member of Sephora’s Beauty Insiders program, you get to choose a birthday gift during your birthday month. This month I decided my birthday gift would be the Yves Saint Laurent (YLS) Beauty fragrance sample set.

Sephora Haul- November 2024

Published on by essieofwhoLeave a comment

This year, I decided to cut back on shopping for certain things. One of those things has been beauty products. Although I still like to shop for them, I decided to cut back due to several reasons, including worries about the economy and my budget.

Even though I cut back quite a bit from shopping for beauty products, I did end up splurging on myself this month. November is my birthday month and Black Friday sales, so there were other perks that caused me to go on a shopping spree for beauty products.

One of the stores I decided to shop at was Sephora. I wanted to purchase enough to make my Beauty Insider membership go to VIB level, so I bought more than I normally would throughout the year. Even though it did bother me to purchase so many products at once, I am extremely happy I purchased the ones I did!

Since Black Friday is this Friday, I decided to publish all the shopping haul posts I wrote. I’m starting with my Sephora sale haul.

Bodycology Winter Vanilla Collection

Weeks ago, I published a post featuring the Bodycology Cozy Fireside limited edition scent. You can read it here.

In the post, I mentioned there was another limited edition scent available at Walmart. The scent is called Winter Vanilla. Even though it is not a fall scent, I really liked the scent and decided to publish the post about it in October.

Sephora Haul- September 2024

Published on by essieofwhoLeave a comment

In September, I decided to place an order at Sephora. I wanted some lip products that were still in stock at Sephora as well as a fragrance sample set that was on sale. It has been a while since I wrote a Sephora haul post, so I decided to write a post about this haul.

Bodycology’s Cozy Fireside S’mores Collection

Published on by essieofwho1 Comment

Earlier this month, I discovered Bodycology released a limited edition collection for fall. I originally saw it at Walmart beside the seasonal Softsoap fall collection, but it was moved to the Bodycology section of the store. I saw it again after it moved and discovered there is an additional product in the collection that wasn’t available the first time I saw it.
