This weekend was not only the super hyped up Sephora Spring Bonus Event but more importantly the ULTA Spring Haul Event. Why more importantly, you ask? Because as much as I enjoy the occassional pass through Sephora, I love ULTA more. Yes, MORE. Like way more. I spend an average of 45 minutes to an hour there every time I go. Less people, more affordable products, easier ways to earn points (which equals free products or money towards purchases), and a better discount for us average people who don't spend $1000 or more a year at one store on beauty products. I mean, the 10% off I would get as a Beauty Insider at Sephora is nice, but you know what's even better? Receiving 20% off at ULTA on the SAME EXACT PRODUCTS. Mmmm hmmmm.
Yes, ULTA doesn't have ALL of the high end products that Sephora does - but they do have most of them. And the high end products that I do like (Dior Foundation, Charlotte Tilbury powder, Giorgio Armani Foundation, etc) I'd rather buy at Nordstrom and earn points there, than push my way through crowds of people at Sephora. But that's just me. You do you.
Needless to say, I spent a good hour at ULTA this past Friday and snagged some great buys - all at 20% off!!

Click the "read more" option to see what I re-purchased and what new products I'm trying for the first time. You can also click on the picture of each product to take you to the link in ULTA where you can purchase the same items. The sale may be over but you still earn points for for each purchase you make. It's free to sign up for the ULTA rewards program on their website or in the store.
