Ulta Beauty’s 21 Days of Beauty Spring 2026 Event Favorites: Week 1

Published on by essieofwhoLeave a comment

It’s time for Ulta Beauty’s 21 Days of Beauty Spring 2026 sale to begin! If you are unfamiliar with it, it is a semi annual sale held in the spring and in the late summer/fall. Every day of the sale there are new products to purchase at 50% off. Sometimes there are surprise products available to purchase at 50% off and other surprises throughout the sale. (This doesn’t always happen though) This year, the sale starts on Friday, March 6, 2026 and will end on Thursday, March 26, 2026.

Every time this sale happens, I try to release posts featuring my favorite products in that week’s sale. I like to do this in order to show off what I like in the sale as well as give anyone ideas on what is available during that week’s sale. It’s the beginning of the sale, so I will be focusing on all the items on sale this week.

This week there are many products I am interested in or have heard really great things are. The ones I’m most interested in are fragrances. These fragrances are Vera Wang’s Love fragrance, Ariana Grande’s Cloud 2.0 fragrance, and Mugler’s Alien Hypersense fragrance. I’m also interested in MAC’s Glow Play Blush and Laura Mercier’s Setting Powder. (I’ve been into Laura Mercier’s cosmetics lately, so a chance to purchase one 50% off normal price really peaks my interest)

I hope everyone enjoys my list and finds something that will peak their interest!

All information about the products including names, prices, size of product included in the sale, and if they will be available online only, are current as of Wednesday, March 4, 2026.

Walgreens Beauty Haul- October 2025

Published on by essieofwhoLeave a comment

Back in October, I went shopping at Walgreens for some new lip gloss. They didn’t have what I was looking for, but they did have other products I wanted to buy and try.

It has been many months since I that shopping trip at Walgreens (It’s March already!) but I never published a haul of the things I purchased there. I have almost finished one of the things I purchased there, so I wanted to finally sit down and write my beauty haul post from October 2025 before I write a review post of one of the products from this haul!

Bath and Body Works’ 2026 Disney Princess Favorite Products

Published on by essieofwhoLeave a comment

Almost two weeks ago, Bath and Body Works released their Disney Princess Collection for 2026. They previously released a Disney Princess collection in 2025. Both collections have six scents inspired by six Disney Princesses. They include Belle, Tiana, Rapunzel, Aurora, Mulan, and Snow White. The 2026 collection has four new scents (Rapunzel, Aurora, Mulan, and Snow White) inspired by Princesses that were not a part of the 2025 collection. In addition to these four new scents, two previous scents (Belle and Tiana) from the 2025 collection were rereleased and a seventh scent (Life is a Fairy Tale) that was not inspired by a specific princess were released for the 2026 collection. The scents were available in multiple products and merchandise inspired by specific Princesses and the Disney Princess brand were released as well.

I wrote a post about the description of each of the fragrances in this year’s collection. (You can read it here) In this post, I wanted to share my favorite products in this collection. There are many things I like about this collection, so my list is long. Unfortunately, I decided to skip this collection and not purchase from it. Still, I enjoyed browsing it as was heavily tempted to buy several items from it!

 

All the product photographs in this post are from Bath and Body Works’ official listings for each of the products. All the pricing information is also from the same listings as well. Not all the products mentioned in this post are available as of the publishing of this post.

Bath and Body Works’ 2026 Disney Princess Scents and Scent Notes

Published on by essieofwho1 Comment

Over a week ago, Bath and Body Works released their 2026 Disney Princess Collection. This collection is the second collection in their Disney Princess line. The line, which was originally released in 2025, is a limited edition collection of scents and products inspired by Disney’s Princesses. Each line has six fragrances in it, with each scent inspired by a different princess.

This year, Bath and Body Works released a new collection inspired by the Disney Princesses. There are two returning scents from the 2025 collection and four new fragrances inspired by the Princesses. The four new Princesses in this collection are Aurora, Rapunzel, Mulan, and Snow White while the returning Princesses are Bell and Tiana. The four new Princess inspirations are different than the ones featured in the 2025 collection. There is also a seventh new scent in the collection called Life’s a Fairytale.

I’m late to the social media bandwagon for this collection (And a lot of other things as well) but I decided to write two posts about the collection: One that talks about the scents in the collection and one that talks about my favorite products in the collection. I think the scents are more important to talk about when deciding what to buy in the collection, so I’m going to start with that.

All the product photographs in this post are from Bath and Body Works’ official listings for the fine fragrance mists. The information about the fragrances are from the official listings for the fine fragrance mists. All the scents mentioned in this post are available as fine fragrance mists, diamond shimmer mist, body wash, ultimate hydration body cream, foaming hand soap, wallflower fragrance refill, 3-wick candle, single wick candle, PocketBac hand sanitizer, and lip gloss.

Juliette Has a Gun Pear Inc. Fragrance Review

Published on by essieofwhoLeave a comment

A few years ago, I decided to search for new fragrances from brands I can’t find as frequently as others. One of the brands that caught my eye was Juliette Has a Gun. During a shopping trip to Sephora, I decided to try Pear Inc. in store and loved the scent of it. Since then, I’ve been using it on and off, giving me time to think about it and decide if I still love the fragrance or not.

Juliette Has a Gun Not a Perfume Fragrance Review

Published on by essieofwhoLeave a comment

In late 2024, I decided to add a sample of a new fragrance to my Sephora order. I wanted to try one of the fragrance for a few years, but I wanted to try it first before I purchase it. When I saw it available as a sample, I decided to add it to my order.

The fragrance is by Juliette Has a Gun and it is called Not a Perfume. I was curious about it because it not only has one ingredient in it, Cetalox, it also is supposed to be allergen free.

Marc Jacobs x Murakami Daisy Fragrance Collection

Published on by essieofwhoLeave a comment

I’m currently publishing many post about Christmas for Blogmas, but I felt the need to publish at least one post that isn’t Christmas related this year. Recently, I was reminded that Marc Jacobs released a fragrance series in collaboration with Murakami. Since I want to write about something unrelated to Christmas, I thought this would be a nice crossover post. Even though this collection has nothing to do with Christmas, the fragrances in the collection can be gifts for Christmas. This way I will know if anyone likes to see something unrelated to Christmas pop up every now and then in my Blogmas post series.

Victoria’s Secret Bombshell Gold Holiday 2020 Perfume Review

Published on by essieofwhoLeave a comment

Earlier this year, I was cleaning out and organizing my holiday decor. In one of the boxes, I found something completely unexpected: A bottle of perfume. Not just any perfume, a limited holiday release perfume.

The perfume is Victoria’s Secret Bombshell Gold. It was released in honor of the 2020 holiday season. I purchased it because I thought I would like, but it clearly got lost while taking down my Christmas decorations. Because of this, I wasn’t able to try it like I planned.

Since I rediscovered this fragrance, I decided to write a review about it. Even though it’s been five years since it’s release, I keep my decorations in the basement of my house. This is why the perfume didn’t go bad like it would’ve if I kept it in a places that is not temperature controlled.

Favorite 2025 Beauty Advent Calendars from Ulta Beauty

Published on by essieofwhoLeave a comment

Every year, beauty brands release advent calendars. These calendars are similar to the ones used by children, but instead of chocolate or candy, these calendars have beauty products in them.

This year, Ulta Beauty has multiple beauty calendars I like. Out of the calendars, I picked my favorites and compiled them into a post. They range from $49.58 to $245.00. Some of them can also be found at other beauty stores and at the respective brand sites, but Ulta Beauty is the place I saw them first.

Favorite Wicked: For Good Beauty & More at Ulta Beauty

Published on by essieofwhoLeave a comment

Wicked: For Good, the second and last movie in the movie series inspired by the musical Wicked, will be premiering in theaters this week. Just like with the previous movie, there are plenty of products inspired by the movie. Although there are many brands offering products inspired by the movies, Ulta Beauty has the most Wicked inspired beauty products.

While browsing the collection, I found many interesting products. Yet, there are some that stood out to me more than others. I wanted to share all the products I like the most, so I decided to compile all my favorites into one post with their names and prices. Some of the products in this post have already sold out, so please keep that in mind if you find something to purchase.
