Ulta + Supply House Haul

Ulta + Supply House Haul

On Saturday, I went to the beauty supply house, Peel's, and then went to Ulta because I had my 20% off everything in the store coupon!  You do have to have your cosmetology license to get into the supply houses, which I do have mine.  Everything I bought at Peel's, can be found at Ulta. 
**I purchased everything on my own

Supply House Purchases:
L to R
It's a 10-this product literally does 10 things for your hair
*Repairs dry damanged hair
*Adds shine
*Detangles
*Control Frizz
*Seals and protects hair color
*Prevents split ends
*Stops hair breakage
*Creates silkiness
*Enhances natural body
*Flat iron spray & thermal protector
This stuff works wonders!!!!
Fake Bake Flawless-I have heard from many beauty bloggers that this is the best at home self tanner you can get.  It comes with a mitt to help prevent streaking and I am so anxious to try it.  Mine came with a bonus item of a moisturizer spray to put over the self tanner when I'm done to keep my skin hydrated.  Ulta does carry this but when I was there on Saturday, it did NOT come with the moisturizer spray.
Big Sexy Hair Volumizing Shampoo-This stuff rocks and smells amazing.  Big Sexy is one of my favorite hair care lines ever.  I actually bought this for my mama tho! 
Kenra Volume Spray 25-This is an industry's favorite and has won so many awards.  I rotate between this and Big Sexy Spray and Play Harder.  This isn't as firm of  a hold as Big Sexy but it still gives great hold and leaves the hair workable.
Nicki Minaj Minis-This set comes with all her OPI Collection Polishes, Did It On Em', Fly, Pink Friday and Metallic 4 Life.  What's nice about the mini collection is you get all the polishes and since they are small, you don't feel like you are wasting your money.  We all know, you get a new polish, wear it several times then it ends up in the back of your collection and is replaced with the new latest and greatest collection. And this actually isn't for me either, it's for a friend's step daugher's birthday who LOVES Nicki. 


Ulta Purchases:
L to R:
EOS Lip Balm in Honeysuckle-I hear so much about this line of lip balm and hand lotion, I had to jump on the band wagon and try it! It's very convienent to just keep in your purse and have it at all times
EOS Hand Lotion in Berry Blossom-Same story as the lip balm.  I found these by the check out at Ulta and they got me with their marketing tactics because I didn't have any intention on going out of my way to try these items!
Revlon Lip Butter in Gumdrop-When they lined first launched, there were SO many colors I wanted to try, but I only got 2 in case I didn't like them.  I had gotten Strawberry Shortcake which was a beautiful barbie pink and Creme Bruele which was a pretty nude color.  They don't last super long on your lips and I find myself re-applying often, but for the price, they are great colors! So I got Gumdrop, which is a soft lavendar so I could pair it with a gloss I had gotten (Swatches below)
Benefit They're Real! Mascara-Once again, I have heard SO much about this mascara but have been hesitant to drop $22 to try a product I may or may not like esp since I have thin eye lashes as is and only certain mascaras work for me.  They had a travel sized one for $10, and I decided to try it and I LOVE it!!! I will definitley be purchasing this again.  I love the wand on it and it really thickened my lashes. (I will be doing a blog later on mascaras I personally like)
Macadamia Hair Mask-Can't get enough of this! Just needed to stock up since it was on sale
Essie in Orange, It's Obvious!-this is a beautiful orange color that is going to look so pretty this summer on tan skin
Essie in Tour De Finance-I already tried this color on my nails and it's a new favorite! LOVE it! it's a fuschia pink with blue-ish undertones.  Anyone who likes pink polish: GET THIS!


I had gotten the lipgloss on the right, Revlon Ultimate Orchid, randomly one day at the drug store.  But when I used it, it was a very sticky texture on my lips and I didn't care for it BUT I liked the color.  So the Revlon Lip Butter in Gumdrop, is a very translucent lavendar that doesn't show up that well on your lips (I prefer brighter lips! If you like a softer lip, use it by itself) Well when they are combined, it gives the perfect color and texture and costs about $13 for both depending on any sales you may catch. 
Left: Gumdrop
Middle: Ultimate Orchid (You can see the dry sticky texture it gives off, and that was after only about a minute swatched)
Right: Combined!  You can see the beautiful color and texture the two combined gives!!

Thanks for reading XOXO!
