Ulta Beauty’s 21 Days of Beauty Fall 2024 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! This week there will be more IT Brushes for Ulta in the sale. Even though there are a lot of cosmetics and other beauty essentials that I like, there are two products that caught my eye that go on sale this week. They are First Aid Beauty’s Ultra Repair Cream and Yves Saint Laurent’s Black Opium fragrance. I am really excited to see them on sale and am hopeful to purchase them this week!

I want to mention that the products that go on sale are subject to change without notice. I noticed that I forgot to mention this in my week one post. Also, I forgot to mention in week one’s post that some of the deals can be found at Target in their Ulta Beauty at Target section. Not all the products will be available at the sale price.

And now, here are my favorites for week 2!

Published on by essieofwhoLeave a comment

It’s time for Ula Beauty’s 21 Days of Beauty Event! For this semi-annual sale, there are two major changes. The first change is the sale has been renamed the 21 Days of Beauty again. The second change is it starts on Friday, August 30.

Earlier this year, I was too busy with offline life to write posts about my favorites from the Spring 2024 sale. You can read more about that in a post here. This sale, I have time to write posts about my favorites from the sale!

The products included in the sale include some of my personal favorite products (MAC lipstick, Clinique Almost Lipstick, and Philosophy fragrances) and products I know are popular online. (Olaplex’s Hair Prefector and Supergoop sunscreen) Overall, I’m pretty happy with the selection available this week. For this post, I decided to pick both my personal favorites and favorites that may be popular as well. I hope you enjoy seeing my favorites!

The summer months are some of the hottest months of the year. For many fragrance lovers, this means changing their fragrances to accommodate the warmer temperatures. These temperatures can change how a fragrance smells on a person’s skin, so it is important to take into consideration.

For summer 2024, I realized I really love the way the fragrances I already own work for the summer time. I wanted to share six of my favorite fragrances and fragrance lines that I already own and think would be for the summer. I hope this list will inspire your fragrance choices this summer!

Bath and Body Works Haul- March 2024

Published on by essieofwhoLeave a comment

A few months ago, I decided to stop by Bath and Body Works and smell some of the newest scents available for purchase. I ended up buying a fragrance mist and body gel in two different scents. I debated if I should post this haul because it is a small haul. Even though it is small haul, I really like the scents I purchased and am still excited to use what I purchased!

Ulta Beauty Haul- December 2023

Published on by essieofwho1 Comment

In late December, I went shopping at Ulta Beauty. I wanted to shop at Ulta Beauty before Christmas, but I didn’t have a chance to shop there. Instead, I went shopping after Christmas.

While shopping there, I needed one very important item and I wanted to look for one fragrance I had my eye on. I ended up finding two other fragrances I wanted as well.

Sephora Haul- November 2023

Published on by essieofwho1 Comment

In November, I made my annual birthday order at Sephora. I really wanted to purchase items I wanted to own and knew I would use. I also wanted to buy enough items to make me qualify for my current level for the Sephora rewards program. I didn’t do a good job of purchasing from Sephora throughout the year, so I needed to place a large order to qualify! After receiving my order and using the products in it, I can honestly say I’m happy with my order. I don’t think I will order everything in this haul again (I’ll go into more details either in this post or in a different post) but there are some products I really like a lot. Especially the fragrances!

And now, here is the haul!

Viktor & Rolf FlowerBomb Ruby Orchid Gift Set Review

Published on by essieofwho1 Comment

In November, I went shopping at Sephora for beauty products I want to repurchase and purchase for the first time. It has been a long time since I shopped at Sephora, so I felt like I had a long, and pretty expensive, list. I was able to purchase everything I needed and repurchase, but not everything I wanted. Still, I am happy with my haul. I will talk about my haul in a different post next month.

One of the items I purchased in the haul was the Viktor & Rolf FlowerBomb Ruby Orchid Gift Set. It is not a holiday exclusive gift set, yet I liked the price of the set and what it contained so much I decided to purchase it. I used to love the scent FlowerBomb, but I really love the Ruby Orchid version as well. This is why I decided to purchase this gift set instead of an individual bottle of the largest size. (Which would cost the same as the gift set, but doesn’t include the travel spray size of the fragrance)

Since it is the holiday season when many people are trying to find gifts, I wanted to write a review about this gift set. I will not be reviewing the actual scent in this post. Just the gift set itself.

Ulta Beauty’s Fall 2023 21 Days of Beauty Favorites- Week 1

Published on by essieofwhoLeave a comment

Well, it’s that time of the year when Ulta Beauty’s 21 Days of Beauty sale happens! This fall, there are many beauty products that caught my eye, but I know for certain I want to purchase only a few. Even though I really like the products available during the sale, I don’t need more products! So, I’m going to hold back purchasing until the products I really want go on sale.

As with previous sales, there are new beauty products as well as old favorites that are included in the 50% off sale. There are also some surprise steals (Beauty products that go on sale, but nobody knows what they are until the day of they go on sale) and products that are on sale exclusively online only. Please check the product that goes on sale to make sure it will be on sale in person and online or online only. Also, the sale prices are for Ulta Beauty and Ulta Beauty at Target unless otherwise stated. If you are worried about the availability of the product at the sale price changes depending on the store, then please check each store’s website for more information.

For week one, there will be products from some of my favorite beauty brands (MAC, Lancome, Yves Saint Laurent, and Loncome) as well as first time steals from other brands. There is only one surprise steal this week, which is an Ulta Beauty app exclusive. The surprise steal will happen on Sunday, August 27th. As with previous 21 Days of BEauty posts, I wanted to talk about my favorite products in the sale. I may leave off certain products that people may like and include ones that are not as popular. Even though this list could be hit or miss, I still hope you enjoy my favorite picks from week one!

New Bodycology Fragrance Mists for Summer 2023

Published on by essieofwhoLeave a comment

Many years ago, I used to like Bodycology a lot. Since then, I had to dramatically change the kind of beauty products I use. Since then, I can now use more beauty products I used to. One of the beauty products I really want to try again is Bodycology’s products.

During a recent shopping trip to Walmart, I went to the Bodycology section to see if the scents I used to like are still available to purchase. That was when I saw new limited edition summer scents available to purchase! I was really excited to find them because I like the types of scents that are in collection.
