Ulta Loot + Giveaway
Here’s the loot I picked up from Ulta this weekend. That store is kinda awesome – all the drugstore bands in one spot plus a few high end brands like Two Faced, Benefit and Urban Decay. I’ve been to two locations and one was organized into sections, all the lip products in one aisle, eye makeup in another – makes it waaaay easier to shop for new product.
I’m still searching for the perfect mascara (Cover Girl Lash Blast Fusion..bad, very bad) and so far L’Oreal Double Extend is working pretty well. EDIT: After using this for a month I’m not a fan. It made my bottom lashes look super long and my top lashes look super short. No matter how I applied it I couldn’t get any length. Switched to Maybelline Lash Stiletto instead.
I also got L’Oreal HIP shadows – I wear the silver/black one every day. NYX Mega Shine lip glosses (Sweet Heart and Sponge Cake) get an A+ from me – almost has the stickiness of MAC glosses, but so much cheaper. Orly nail polish in Royal Navy – trying that tonight. And finally, Urban Decay 24/7 liner in Lust – LOVE! Finally found a liner that is as vibrant as it looks.
I figured I talk about Just Bitten and dry shampoo so much I should probably give my lovely readers a chance to try them. So…one lucky winner will receive a Just Bitten Lip Stain in Gothic and Big Sexy Hair Volumizing Dry Shampoo.
I love love love these products and use them on a weekly basis. Just Bitten goes on super smooth and stays on all day – pretty much like coloring your lips with a Sharpie, but without the smell. The color I’m giving away is blood red, like delicious vampire makeout red (True Blood style, not Twilight).
Big Sexy Hair dry shampoo is the reason I’m able to go an entire week without washing my hair. You spray it on your roots where you hair is starting to look oily, let it dry for a couple minutes and then brush through. I like this product better than other ones I’ve tried because it adds volume, which mid-week my hair really needs.

Mmmm I’ve been looking for the perfect red lip stain for so long! My favorite favorite favorite item is my rose scented blush/glitter/powder from L’Occitane. They don’t make it anymore so I’m trying to go through it slowly. *Crossing my fingers*!

Hmm… I love NYC’s “Retro Red Lipstick”- I don’t wear it except for on special occasions, so it always makes me feel glamorous when it’s on!
Ahhhh I’ve been wanting to try the just bitten lip stain! My favorite beauty product is moroccan hair oil :)
