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.

I’m loving the new Falsies mascara. And Lancome juicy tubes are the best lip gloss….they are really sticky and don’t “bleed” down your chin, plus they last forever!
my favorite beauty product is rosebud salve — i love the texture, the smell, and of course, the tin.
i love red lipstick but i hate having to constantly reapply it, so if this just bitten is truly what you say, I’M IN!

Oh I’d LOVE to win!
Hmm my favorite product? Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion. My eyeshadow always used to crease mid-day, and that stuff finally put a stop to it. Can’t put makeup on without it.
I use the l’oreal double extend, but the with the lash boosting serum. It is by far my favorite mascara! I am also lost without my dry shampoo, I had no idea big sexy hair made some though, I will have to try it. I use Rene Furterer Nuturia from sephora…

Does the dry shampoo work on people with thin hair? Cos I have a problem with hair products that work on most people. *sigh* Sad life.
Anyway, my favorite product is Pureology shine spray. Light, glimmery, and it smells soooo good.
I don’t see why not – it might even give you some extra volume. You might want to try Big Sexy Hair Powder Play – it’s a volumizing powder you can put throughout your hair. It makes my hair crazy thick. I use it when I want well…big sexy hair haha.
So weird, my friend was just telling me last night about the dry shampoo. Can’t wait to try it :) ps. love the site.
I actually LOVE L’oreal Double Extend! I get it in brown/black and it’s perfect for me! I’ve tried a few others and have yet to find one I like as much!
I’m totally in it for the dry shampoo! My favorite beauty product has become my Two Faced eyeshadow palette in some sort of naked theme. I’m typically a drug store gal, but the Ulta gals talked me into it and I love it!
Err, forgot to put the tweet in a separate comment:

Yea! You like the Double Extend. I told you it works well!!
I’m currently in love with NYX lipstick in DOLL, my NYX highlighter cream pencil in Creamcheese, my Clinique High Impact Curl Mascara (it’s waterproof and removes with warm water–rain and snow resistant!!), my electric lash curler, and Urban Decay Surreal Skin Mineral Foundation.
I can’t live without those.
And sunscreen SPF 50+!

My FAVORITE beauty product is Mirror Shine Nail Polish by Avon. It goes on quick and smooth, dries in seconds and looks stunning. I especially love it in silver lately!

Ahh! Love this!! :) My faaaaavorite beauty product has gotta be my Tweezerman tweezers. (that counts, right??) They are AMAZING and by far the best tweezers I’ve ever used in my life! Which is great because I need to keep my brows in order on the daily.
I actually LOVE the LashBlast Fusion! I tried Stilletto and hated it though, but I think I’m just weird because I’ve been seeing tons of raving reviews for Stilletto lately.
I’m actually -not- entering the contest with this comment because I use both of those products and I’m trying to cut down on how much stuff I have, but my favorite beauty products are Revlon Colorstay in black, Urban Decay liquid eyeliner in Acid Rain, MAC Lipstick in Violetta, and my LashBlast mascara (I just bought more and got brown instead of black in a rush thouhg :(:( )
22 comments already! Crap! I’m never going to win this!
I have been wanting to try the Big Sexy Hair Volumizing Dry Shampoo so bad. Actually I need it right now being that I woke-up 45 minutes late for work today and didn’t get to shower (oops).
Okay, what are the rules of this giveaway…oh yes, favorite beautiful product. Would you laugh at me if I told you mascera? Actually it’s the only beautiful product I love and use. I recently starting using the Mary Kay brand and it is by far my favorite ever. So dark and not clumpy and just perfect. Yay!
