O.P.I. x Barbie Nail Polish Collection In Store Photographs

Published on by essieofwhoLeave a comment

Over a month ago, Barbie: The Movie was released in movie theaters. It is currently up for preorder on Amazon and soon, it will be available to stream online. I know I am really late to post a lot about the Barbie: The Movie merchandise, but after a lot of thought, I decided to write a few posts about my favorite inspired by merchandise!

I loved a lot of the merchandise inspired by the movie, but most of it was impractical for me to wear or use. (Well, at this point of my life at least!) For this reason, I would admire it, then move on with my life. One of the more practical and useful merchandise is the O.P.I. x Barbie: The Movie nail polish collection.

I really liked the colors in the nail polish collection. I’m a fan of sparkly nail polish, pink nail polish, and blue nail polish since I was in elementary school. Today, I don’t have a lot of brightly colored, Barbie worthy pink nail polishes in my nail polish collection. I also don’t wear blue nail polish anymore, but I still enjoy looking at it! When I saw the complete nail polish collection, I really wanted to purchase many of the colors. Unfortunately, due to work and other commitments, I knew I wouldn’t be able to travel to an Ulta Beauty until August at the earliest. That meant I would be able to shop for the nail polishes in person before they sold out.

This is why I was really surprised to see the Walmart closest to me had the whole collection for sale! This Walmart has been really good at stocking the limited edition beauty collections available to purchase at other Walmarts. Yet, it is still a small Walmart, which means the store may be passed over when it comes to stocking limited edition beauty collections. This is why I was so surprised to see the O.P.I. x Barbie: The Movie collection there. I took pictures of the colors available at the store to make sure I purchased the right colors I wanted. Even though the photographs did their job, I still wanted to share some of them in a post. Since collection has been out for a while, I don’t have any reason to post them except to share my excitement over finding the collection in a store I didn’t expect to find it in!

Sally Hansen x Peeps Brand Nail Collection at Ulta Beauty

Published on by essieofwhoLeave a comment

This week I’ve been running a lot of errands. I not only was peeping for Easter, but also a full month of events and potential road closures that will prevent me from doing my normal grocery shopping. While shopping at Ulta Beauty for whatever I wanted and needed, I realized I didn’t talk about the Sally Hansen x Peeps Brand collaboration here on this blog!

A few weeks ago, I took photographs of the products in the collaboration. Since they are ready to be posts, I decided to post them now before Easter! Continue reading “Sally Hansen x Peeps Brand Nail Collection at Ulta Beauty” →

Ulta Beauty’s 21 Days of Beauty Spring 2023 Favorites- Week 2

Published on by essieofwhoLeave a comment

It’s almost time for the second week of Ulta Beauty’s 21 Days of Beauty Event! I hope everyone had the chance to shop the sale during week one and found products they want and need. I was able to shop the sale and got something I wanted for years, but didn’t get the chance to purchase one until it went on sale!

For the second week, there are more products from brands that usually go on sale (Such as Lancome, Urban Decay, and Too Faced) but there are some other brands that are new. Also, there are products on sale from brands that fit into a different theme. These themes include Women Owned Brands and Black Owned Brands. My stand out favorites for the week is the Estée Lauder foundation and IT Cosmetics Brushes for Ulta Beauty.

As per usual, before deciding to purchase something from the sale, make sure where it is available. Some products are available online or in Ulta Beauty’s app only. Also, remember there is a limit to the amount of products you can purchase for the sale price per day. And finally, Target, which has a deal with Ulta Beauty to sell their products inside their stores and on Target’s website, is participating in the 21 Days of Beauty Event. I don’t know all the details about Ulta Beauty in Target stores. Still, if you can’t go to an Ulta Beauty but can go to a Target, try to shop the sale there. Or on Target’s website. Whichever you prefer.

And now, onto the favorites! Continue reading “Ulta Beauty’s 21 Days of Beauty Spring 2023 Favorites- Week 2” →

5 Beauty Collaboration Collections I Missed Mentioning in a Post

Published on by essieofwhoLeave a comment

This time of the year is a busy one. If you are a blogger, influencer, or content creator of any kind that focuses on beauty, you know it can be hard to keep up with all the new holiday releases. This has been true for me. So far, I missed shopping and discussing quite a few limited edition make up and beauty collaboration collections.

Even though I missed talking about them, I still wanted to write about my favorites in a post. Some of the collections I will be talking about in this post are not new and are not holiday 2022 collections, but some are. I wanted to include the non holiday collaboration collections just because I love them so much. Continue reading “5 Beauty Collaboration Collections I Missed Mentioning in a Post” →

Ulta Beauty Haul- July 2022

Published on by essieofwhoLeave a comment

Last month, I decided to go shopping at Ulta Beauty for some new beauty items. I needed a few items that I knew Ulta Beauty would sell, but the Ulta Beauty I shopped at didn’t have them for sale. Instead, I looked around the store to see what is new and if there was anything I would like to purchase instead. I did find a few items that I either wanted, needed, or wanted to buy but never got around to purchasing it. I’m very excited about my purchases, so I decided to write a post about what I bought and why. Continue reading “Ulta Beauty Haul- July 2022” →

Beauty Favorites for February 2022

In February, I tried to use more new beauty products I purchased and/or already owned. Even though I had good intentions, I ended up not using most of the product I had to use. Despite this, I wanted to talk about my favorite beauty products I used during the month of February. Continue reading “Beauty Favorites for February 2022” →

OPI Pro Spa Nail and Cuticle Oil Review

Published on by essieofwhoLeave a comment

Back in January, I needed to buy myself a bottle of cuticle oil. I usually have a bottle of cuticle oil, but I forgot to purchase a new bottle of oil before I ran out. Unfortunately, when I ran out I couldn’t find cuticle oil in my local Walmart. (I believe this is due to shipping and supply chain problems) Out of frustration, I decided to go to Ulta Beauty, which carry the brand, to find a bottle of the oil.

The Ulta Beauty I shopped at did not have a large selection of cuticle oil. (Probably because of more supply chain problems) and did not have the cuticle oil I like to use in stock. After searching for a new oil, I found OPI Pro Spa Nail and Cuticle Oil. I used to use OPI’s oil, but I decided to switch to a different brand due to the cost of OPI’s oil. Even though it was a splurge for me, I decided to buy a bottle of it anyway. For me, a bottle of the oil lasts a very long time. This is also why I decided to purchase it.

After using it for a month or so, I wanted to write a review post about it. Continue reading “OPI Pro Spa Nail and Cuticle Oil Review” →

Advent Calendars from Sephora for Holiday 2021

Published on by essieofwhoLeave a comment

I know I’m late to write a post about Sephora’s beauty products, especially since today is the last day for the Sephora sale,, but, unfortunately, I was very busy and was unable to sit down and write one. Still, I wanted to make one before the sale ends.

Last week, I dedicated a post about advent calendars available at Ulta Beauty. Since Sephora sells different products and brands than Ulta Beauty, I tried to create a list of all the advent calendars sold at Sephora. I originally wanted to make a post about my favorite calendars at Sephora, but Sephora did not have as many calendars for sale as Ulta Beauty. Instead, I decided to feature all the calendars available at Sephora. As of the publishing of this post, some of these calendars have sold out or have poor ratings. Remember this when looking into purchasing the calendars. Continue reading “Advent Calendars from Sephora for Holiday 2021” →

Favorite Beauty Advent Calendars from Ulta Beauty- 2021

Published on by essieofwhoLeave a comment

Every December, I like to open an advent calendar. I usually like to open a chocolate advent calendar, but for the past few years I tired to open a beauty advent calendar. Opening beauty advent calendars can sometimes be hit or miss because the products may not be worth the price of the calendar. Still, I like looking at them to see what kind of calendars are available and at what price.

While browsing the calendars available for sale, I found many calendars available at Ulta Beauty. Some of the calendars are available online only while others are also only available at Ulta Beauty. Since they had so many calendars, I wanted to share my favorite calendars Ulta currently sells.
