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.

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

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.

Ulta Beauty Haul- Late November 2024 Part 1

Published on by essieofwhoLeave a comment

In late November, I decided to visit Ulta Beauty twice more for more beauty products I wanted and needed. Some of the things I needed included a new shower brush, nail file, and tweezers. I thought my first trip would be the last trip for the month, but I forgot some of the things I needed. So, I ended up going back for another trip in the same month.

For my second trip, I ended up getting many of the things I originally wanted to buy. Even though I didn’t purchase everything I wanted, I am happy with everything I purchased!

Published on by essieofwhoLeave a comment

In April, I decided to make a shopping trip to Ulta Beauty. I wanted to see if I could find beauty products at other stores, but I ended up giving up and shop at Ulta Beauty instead. While there, I found some products I wanted to own a backup of and some products I spontaneously purchased.

Favorite Beauty Products for 2023

Published on by essieofwhoLeave a comment

It’s the last day of the year, which means it is time to reflect on the past year! For me, there have been many things that I can reflect on in a post. Even though I feel drawn to talk about things more important than beauty products, I still believe like I need to talk about the products I really enjoyed using or discovering in 2023. This list isn’t as long as it could be, yet I am very thankful these products were available for me to purchase and use this year!

Salon Perfect x Wonka Collection Haul

Published on by essieofwhoLeave a comment

In December, there were holiday beauty collections I liked to look at, but didn’t want to own. One of the collections I wanted to own products from was the Salon Perfect x Wonka collection.

The collection, which I talked about in a separate post here, included acrylic nails, nail polish, and nail decals. Between the three, I liked the nail polish the most. Nail polish is the most usable for me. Also, the colors were really pretty! So, I decided to buy all the nail polish colors I knew would look the best on my skin tone.

Salon Perfect x Wonka Nail Collection

Published on by essieofwhoLeave a comment

Almost two weeks ago, the movie Wonka premiered in theaters. As with other movies I’m interested in watching, I didn’t have plans to see it in theaters (I like to see them on DVD or streaming them at home) but I was excited to see all the tie in and inspired by merchandise available.

I found one of the Wonka inspired collections in the beauty section of Walmart. I was surprised to find it because I wasn’t expecting it to be available! I did end up purchasing some nail polishes from the collection, but I will talk about that in a different post.

imPRESS Holiday 2023 Acrylic Nails Collection

Published on by essieofwho2 Comments

During a recent shopping trip to Walmart, I found  multiple holiday collections in the makeup section of the store. I was happy to see so many holiday collections available to purchase, so I browsed them all to see if there was anything I wanted from the store.

One of the collection I didn’t buy anything from but did enjoy looking at was the press on acrylic nails. I don’t wear acrylic nails (I use my hands too much for them to stay on and/or look nice) but I enjoy seeing the sets available to purchase. They give me ideas about what is popular in nail art at that time. One of the collections I saw and was very interested in was located on an end cap next to the nail section. It was called Glitz & Glam and featured collections from KISS Nails & Lashes as well as imPRESS and Sally Hansen nails. (I’m not sure if the Sally Hansen nail set was supposed to be there. I saw multiple nail sets that wandered from one section to another. Still, I’m going to address it as if the Sally Hansen Holiday 2023 nail collection was supposed to be there)

Since there were so many nail collections in the display, I decided to break up the posts into different brands. Today, I’m going to start with imPRESS.

O.P.I. x Barbie Collection Nail Look (And Some Thoughts About the Polish)

Published on by essieofwhoLeave a comment

When I purchased the bottles of OPI x Barbie nail lacquer (Or nail polish as I call it), I intended on painting my nails as soon as possible. Sadly, I didn’t have the time to pain my nails until weeks after I purchased the nail polish. (I sometimes work a lot with my hands, which isn’t good for pretty polished nails!) When I did get the chance to paint them with the OPI x Barbie polishes, I was so excited I couldn’t decide on what colors to paint them. I normally like to paint my nails the same way because I like keeping them uniform and subtle. (Even if the polish color is pretty bold) This time, I decided to go out of my comfort zone and paint one nail one color and the other nails the same color.
