ULTA, TARGET & TJ MAXX HAUL

 

Hey ya’ll!

Becca here… Jessica is with me for our first haul! We went to do a little therapeutic shopping today at ulta, target, & TJ Maxx! …what girl doesn’t love ulta AND target??? I know WE DO!!!

If you’re familiar with the ulta rewards program, you know that the “quarterly” rewards points were recently mailed out in their brochure. If you’re not familiar with ulta, it’s a reward point program.  The way it works is during each time period (usually about 3 months) however much money you spend at ulta, they will keep track and reward you 1 point for each $50 you spend during that quarter.  Well….. since I frequent ulta, I had a rewards level of 13.  Here is a haul of the items I got for FREE!

CLICK HERE FOR A LINK TO THE ULTA REWARDS POINTS PROGRAM AND WHAT YOU CAN REDEEM THEM FOR!

*PURE DKNY* PERFUME: IT HAS A VERY CLEAN SMELL, THIS IS THE 1.0 FL OZ AND RETAILS FOR $45 AT ULTA.  A LEVEL 6 WILL ALLOW YOU A FREE PERFUME $40 AND UNDER.  IF YOU WANT ANOTHER PERFUME THAT IS MORE THAN $40, YOU ONLY HAVE TO PAY THE DIFFERENCE.  I BASICALLY GOT THIS PERFUME FOR $5. :)

ULTA BRAND NAIL POLISHES:  (LEFT) *GODDESSS*- IT IS A SHIMMERY, PEARLIZED BEIGE-PINK; IT IS VERY SHEAR, BUT WITH A FEW COATS YOU CAN GET THE OPACITY YOU’RE LOOKING FOR! (RIGHT) *TUTU CUTE*- IT IS A MATTE CREAM PURPLE, ABSOLUTELY NO SHIMMER.   EACH OF THESE NAIL POLISHES ARE 1 POINT EACH, AND IF YOU LOVE NAIL POLISH LIKE WE DO, THEN IT’S A GREAT DEAL!

ULTA BRAND EYE SHADOWS: (LEFT) *TAKEN*- A BAKED EYESHADOW DUO, THE LEFT SIDE OF THE DUO IS MARBLEIZED NEUTRAL BEIGE AND ON THE RIGHT YOU WILL FIND A SOMEWHAT SHIMMERY GREY.  NEITHER COLORS HAVE VERY GOOD COLOR PAYOFF, SO THESE SHADOWS ARE BEST APPLIED USING THE FOILING METHOD WITH A MIXING MEDIUM OR WATER!  (RIGHT) *SEASHELL*- A SHIMMERY, VELVET BABY PINK.  THIS PINK IS APART OF THE NEUTRAL FAMILY.  THIS EYESHADOW IS APART OF THEIR REGULAR LINE AND HAS PRETTY GREAT PAYOFF. I ORIGINALLY BOUGHT IT FOR A SINGLE WASH OF COLOR ON MY LID FOR LAZY DAYS, BUT IT’S A BIT LIGHTER THAN MY LIKING, BUT DEFINITELY NOT TOO LIGHT FOR ME TO USE! IT’S A BEAUTIFUL COLOR AND I’M LOOKING FORWARD TO PLAYING AROUND WITH IT! YOU CAN REDEEM 2 POINTS FOR EACH EYESHADOW.

I LEFT ULTA ONLY SPENDING $5.41… I’M NOT TOO SURE I’VE EVER DONE THAT!  …SO WITH A SMILE WE TOOTLED ON DOWN TO TARGET, ANOTHER ONE OF OUR FAVORITE PLACES!

*HELLO KITTY SHOWER CAP*: I HAD BEEN MEANING TO GET A SHOWER CAP, BECAUSE LIKE MANY OF YOU, SOMETIMES I DON’T WASH MY HAIR EVERY DAY… I HAVE BEEN FORGETTING TO PURCHASE A SHOWER CAP FOR THE LONGEST TIME.  YOU KNOW, A SHOWER CAP ISN’T EXACTLY THE KINDA THING YOU REMEMBER TO BUY.  ANYWAYS, JESSICA AND I WERE LOOKING AT THE HELLO KITTY ITEMS THEY CARRY AT TARGET, AND SHE WAS LIKE, “LOOK, IT’S THE CUTEST SHOWER CAP!” AND I REALIZED, “MAN I NEED ONE OF THOSE…” I TRIED IT ON WHEN I GOT HOME, AND I DON’T KNOW IF I JUST NEEDED TO STRETCH IT OUT (SAYS JESSICA) BUT IT SEEMED SO TIGHT. I REALLY HOPE IT IS EFFECTIVE WHEN I SHOWER BECAUSE IT WAS $3.99!

*GOT MILK? CHOCOLATE MAGIC MILK FLAVORING STRAWS*: THESE WERE JUST TOO COOL TO PASS UP! THEY CAME IN DIFFERENT FLAVORS INCLUDING STRAWBERRY AND COOKIES AND CREAM. RIGHT NOW I AM TRYING TO WATCH WHAT I EAT, SO OF COURSE I FLIP THE BAD BOY OVER AND MUCH TO MY SURPRISE THE NUTRITION INFO WAS NOT THAT BAD! WITH ONLY 16 CALORIES, NO FAT, AND ONLY 4G OF CARBS AND SUGAR, I FEEL LIKE THIS IS A GREAT ALTERNATIVE TO CHOCOLATE SYRUP!... WE WILL GIVE IT A TRY AND LET YA’LL KNOW HOW WE LIKE IT!  THESE WERE ONLY $1.99 FOR 6 STRAWS.  MAKE SURE YOU READ THE DIRECTIONS BECAUSE I THOUGHT YOU’D HAVE TO CUT THE STRAW TO RELEASE THE CHOCOLATE, BUT YOU ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO CUT IT.  I’M STILL STUMPED AS TO HOW THAT’S SUPPOSED TO WORK...

 

JESSICA BOUGHT A FEW ITEMS TOO!

*HELLO KITTY JOURNAL*: JESSICA HAS BEEN LOOKING FOR A CUTE JOURNAL LIKE BOOK THAT SHE CAN CARRY IN HER PURSE.  WHAT SHE FOUND MOST ATTRACTIVE ABOUT THIS BOOK IS THE DURABLE FRONT AND BACK COVER.  THIS BOOK WAS $5.99 AT TARGET AND ALTHOUGH A LITTLE PRICEY, IT IS EXACTLY WHAT SHE WAS LOOKING FOR.

*GUESS CORAL CORK WEDGES*: SHE HAS TINY FEET (SIZE 7 ½) I AM SO JEALOUS… I’VE BEEN BLESSED WITH SOME BIGGO SIZE 10 FEET.  WE LOVE WEDGES BECAUSE THEY ARE SO MUCH MORE COMFORTABLE THAN HIGH HEELS, AND PROVIDE MORE COMFORT AND ARE SO VERSATILE… SINCE THIS PURCHASE IS FROM TJ MAXX SHE GOT THESE SUPER CUTE GUESS SHOES- A DEAL FOR $29.99!!!
