Squishmallows Fragrances at Ulta Beauty: Fragrance Details and My Opinion on Them (Without Smelling Them First)

A few weeks ago, Ulta Beauty announced that they are the only store that sells the newly released Squishmallow Fragrances. I was curious about them and what they smelled like. I was unable to go to an Ulta Beauty store and smell them, so I depended on Ulta Beauty’s website and the descriptions of each fragrance.

Since we are in November, it is a good time to start browsing for Christmas presents. Squishmallows are commonly collected by children, which makes me think the fragrances would be good for tweens, teens, and adults at heart. After pondering on this, I decided to write a post about what these fragrances are, details about them, and what I think about them. (Even though I haven’t smelled them yet)

 

All the information and product photographs are from Ulta Beauty’s website for each of the fragrances.

Peanuts x Ulta Beauty Complete Collection

Ulta Beauty has been dropping a lot of new products over the past month. Many of the new products are for the holiday season. One of the collections that are not for the holidays is the Ulta Beauty Collection collaboration with Peanuts.

I’m a big fan of the Peanuts comic strip. I used to read it when I was little until it ended publication. Even though it ended 25 years ago, I still love anything Peanuts, especially Snoopy. When I discovered the Ulta Beauty Collection collaboration, I was happy to see what is available.

Even though the collection has been available for weeks, I wanted to show the whole collection in a post. My favorite items from this collection are Crew Caption Snoopy Plushy, Take the Crew With You Lip Balm Set, nail file and case set, tweezer and case, and Friends for Life Makeup Bag Set.

Beauty Product Shopping, Higher Prices, and Adjusting to Accommodate for My Allergies

Sephora’s Savings Event is happening right now and, after holding back from shopping for new makeup and other beauty related things, I decided to shop at Sephora. Since November is my birthday month, it is also the time for me to collect my gifts from Sephora.

In order to prep for the sale, I decided to search for my old favorite products and to see if there was anything new I would like to buy. After my search, I’ve been feeling really frustrated by the selection of products and the prices of them.

LoveShackFancy Berry Kiss Hair and Body Mist Review

It may be fall, but I have always loved berry scented fragrances any time of the year. Some of my favorite fragrances are better suited for spring and summer while others can be worn year round. One of the fragrances I am interested in trying during this fall is LoveShackFancy’s hair and body mist in the scent Berry Kiss.

Skylar Boardwalk Delight Fragrance Review (With The Summer I Turned Pretty Limited Edition Packaging)

It’s fall now, except if you’re waiting until the fall equinox. Then it’s the very last days of summer! Anyway, no matter what season you consider it, I still have one last fragrance to review from Skylar Clean Beauty’s The Summer I Turned Pretty limited edition packaging.

In my previous Skylar Clean Beauty fragrance reviews, I reviewed the other two fragrances with The Summer I Turned Pretty packaging. (You can read them here and here) The packaging was in honor of the second season of The Summer I Turned Pretty. Now that season three is out, it’s time to review the last fragrance in Skylar Clean Beauty x The Summer I Turned Pretty collection.

Some of the Fragrances I Don’t Like Anymore (And Why I Don’t Like Them)- September 2025

The clean out of my stuff continues, just slower than I want it to go. Yet, progress, no matter how small, is still progress!

Some of the progress I was able to make is to decide which fragrances I want get rid of. I still have a lot I want to get through, but right now I’m happy with my collection as it is right now. As for some of the fragrances I’m getting rid of, there are some I wanted to talk about in a post, but are not special enough to me to dedicate a separate post to them. So, I decided to dedicate a whole post to some of the fragrances I no longer like and why I don’t like them anymore. (Also, I’m really disappointed that I no longer like some of them anymore. Some of them are expensive when I bought them. I hoped they would be fragrances I could keep and enjoy, but they aren’t.)

Tru Fragrance’s Love and Lyrics Eau de Parfum Review

Recently, while preparing posts for publishing, I found a yet-to-be published review post about a fragrance I used to really love to wear. I purchased a new bottle of it a few years ago, but I never reviewed it on this blog.

A few months ago, I decided to write a review post about this fragrance, but tabled it for variety of reasons. One of them is because the name of the fragrance is Love & Lyrics. To be honest, I’m tired of hearing anything that has to do with Taylor Swift that I didn’t want to give any attention to anything that reminded me of her… which is now harder to do than ever before. Especially since most of the places I like to shop have some sort of a Taylor Swift engagement announcement party thing going on. (I’m glad she is getting married and I know her fans are excited, but really?)

Anyway, despite my annoyances of anything that has to do with Taylor Swift, I (frustratingly) have similarities to her. Such as my love of music, writing music, and performing music. Although this wasn’t known about me growing up, I really loved music. I wanted to write music, perform music, and planned to pursue music as a major in college. Even though my likes have changed over the years, I still love listening to music, playing music, and self studying anything that has to do with music.

This is why I was drawn to Tru Western’s fragrance Love & Lyrics. When I found the fragrance at a Western store over ten years ago, I thought the name was cute and the scent notes looked like something I would like. Since then it became one of my favorite non luxury brand fragrances. Sadly, the Western store I bought my first bottle at has closed, so I thought I would never be able to find it again. Much to my surprise, I found it available on Amazon. Since it is now so easy to find, I purchased another bottle.

Clueless x Makeup Revolution Lipgloss Review

In June, I discovered my closet Walmart had the Clueless x Makeup Revolution collection in the beauty department. The collection was created to celebrate the movie’s 30th anniversary. (I can’t believe it’s been that long since it came out!) I was really excited about it, but I also didn’t need makeup at that time. After browsing the collection for a few weeks, before and after a restock of the collection, I finally decided to buy one thing from it: A tube of lip gloss.

The lip gloss I picked is in the color Dionne, but I also found the color called Pink Halo. After using it for a few weeks, I decided to write a review post on the gloss.
