Favorite Wicked: For Good Beauty & More at Ulta Beauty

Published on November 17, 2025November 5, 2025 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.

All the information and product photographs are from Ulta Beauty’s website.

Essie Nail Polish- Baguette Me Not

Published on June 20, 2019June 17, 2019 by essieofwhoLeave a comment

Earlier this month, I tried out one of my new Essie nail polishes. The color I tried was Baguette Me Not.

I really liked the color. It’s a light lavender color and it complements my skin color really nice. It took two coats to make the color opaque, but, unlike the other Essie nail polishes I own, I liked how smooth the polish went on my nails. I enjoyed wearing it and liked the color lavender for my nails during the summer time.

Although I really like the color, I am looking forward to trying the second color I purchased.

Essie Spring Nail Polish- Tiers of Joy

Published on May 16, 2019April 19, 2019 by essieofwhoLeave a comment

A week or so after painting my nails with Essie’s limited edition spring collection A Touch of Sugar, my nail polish wore off so badly I needed to either repaint them with the same color, or take off the color and paint my nails with a different color. I decided to paint my nails a different color. The color I picked was the second nail polish color I picked up in Essie’s limited edition spring collection: Tiers of Joy.

I really love this nail color! The color is a mix of purple and mint green that shifts depending on how the light hits it.

I do not have anything like this color in my nail polish collection, so I’m happy to have it.

Well, that’s all for now! Thank you for reading!

Essie Spring Nail Polish- A Touch of Sugar

Published on May 9, 2019April 19, 2019 by essieofwhoLeave a comment

Earlier this spring, I decided to paint my nails. Since I had my new Essie limited edition spring nail polish, I decided to give it a try to see if I liked the color.

Sorry about the washed out photo. I took it in sunlight to show the colors better, but it didn’t work out as well as I thought!

The nail polish is a light rose pink base color with gold flecks in it. I do not own pink nail polish with gold flecks in it, so it’s a great addition to my nail polish collection.

Also, the pink is has a blue undertone and is not a peach pink. Pinks with blue undertones to it looks best on me, so this nail polish is perfect for me and my skin tone.

Well, that’s all for now! Thank you for reading!
