Most beauty steals can be picked up in store and online. Some steals are online only. If you plan to shop in store, know that many items will go quickly, so don't plan on picking them up on the way home from work at the end of the day. For me online is usually my preferred method of shopping unless I plan to be in the store anyway. It's kind of frustrating that you can't do one massive haul, but Ulta does offer free shipping on all the beauty steals, so you can order everything online on the day they are available and not spend a ton - you'll just end up with several boxes in your living room. If you're a platinum member, keep an eye out for platinum only deals and always keep an eye on your e-mail box as they always send out one-day only surprise deals throughout the event. I'll try to post about really good ones as I see them. So, now, without further ado, here are my picks so far from the event list, in chronological order.
SUNDAY \ MARCH 19TH
I hear great things about these blushes and the packaging is adorable. I have yet to pick any of the up and it seems like maybe the time to given the price. The shade "Baby Love" seems right up my alley as a nudey brown-pink and "Love Hangover" look like a perfect pop of golden peachy-pink. They all look so pretty.
I picked this up during one of the events last year and it really is great. This is one of my 2016 favorite picks. It's gentle enough to use every day, but it really does slough off dead skin like a pro. The exfoliating particles are small and non-abrasive. I don't feel like I'm damaging my skin. After scrubbing I notice that my skin is visibly brighter and my blackheads appear less and less with continued use. I do prefer to use this in the shower because at the sink I have a harder time ensuring a clean rinse, so if you have that issue keep that in mind.
MONDAY \ MARCH 20TH
I've wanted to try Fiona Stiles products since their launch and I've eyed these, in particular, for a while. When I swatched these in the store the quality seems to be top-notch and at $14 for a trio of powders, I think this is too great a deal to pass up.
**UPDATE** The entire Fiona Stiles brand is 50% off!!!
WEDNESDAY \ MARCH 22ND
I love all the Buxom lip glosses. These are really, really great. They make your lips plump without a lot of pain and make them look full and luscious. They don't really double the size of your lips, which is okay with me, this really just remove all the fine lines and make your lips look youthful. As a whole, the color selection really can't be beat. The lip cream collection is the cream lip gloss finish without any glitter or shimmer.
