Mini Haul 4/25

I have 3 coupons for Ulta that I am determined to use. Since I can't use them at the same time I am forced to make numerous visits until I can get rid of them.

I love OPI Nail Lacquers but I'm not really fond of the 8.50 price. So needless to say I was a tad excited when I saw that that they were 3.99 on clearance. From left to right Brights Power which is like a Crayola orange; Magnifico Mexico which is like an orange with shimmer in it; Fit for a Queensisland, a white with a purple shimmer to it. I am determined to make white nail polish work for me so I figure a shimmery white would be better than a plain Wite-Out white; Purple Pizzazz Frost, I actually got this at Target. It's a purple with a blue mixed in.

This is what the Brights Power looks like. I have 3 coats on. 2 coats was kinda streaky. I like it its a serious orange and looks pretty in the sun. I think its a great summer color.


I can't remember where I first saw the Max Factor Vivid Impact Mascara's ads. I think it may have been in one of my numerous magazines. Wearing color mascara wasn't new for me. I lived in blue mascara in high school and a few years ago I rocked a black cherry mascara by Loreal. What caught my eye about these were the idea of adding a highlight to my lashes. This week they're buy one get one free at Ulta so I figured I would give the a try and see how I felt about them. From left to right 24 Karat Brown, which is a brown with a gold highlight and Blushing Blue, a blue with a pink highlight. I love them!! The highlight adds a punch of color. The best part is they seriously lengthen your lashes. I was actually stunned at how long they looked. They come in 5 colors and I plan on getting them all and maybe try some of the regular mascaras.

I also got a lip gloss in Pomegranate Fusion. That's the pink and purple tube in the picture. It's one of those long wear glosses. The pink is the 8 hour long wear lip color and the purple adds depth. I don't normally wear colored glosses. I have a ton of glosses in varied tones of the same neutral shade. I really liked the purple so I figured I'd give this a try. I like it. I only wore it for 2 minutes so I can't tell you if it really lasted for 8 hours like it proclaims it does. I found that pink can't be worn alone it really needs some thing to go on top of it because it dulls when it dries but when you add the purple it's really pretty.


Overall I am pleased with my Ulta purchase!!
