HUGE Ulta & CVS haul ~ Nuance, Physicians Formula, IT, ELF, Tarte #ULTAhaul

Welcome back to my channel. This is my last makeup haul for a while. I’m putting myself on a no-buy, with the exception of foundations, since I plan to do foundation Fridays for the foreseeable future.  Since filming this we did adopt our puppy and he has completely upended our lives, you name it, no sleep, needs constant attention, hates to be alone. I love him dearly, but from now on, when we adopt it will be for an adult dog. The only reason we decided on a puppy is because you can train them from scratch to leave the cats alone.




Anyway, here is what I bought from Ulta and CVS (I provided links below):

Tarte Shape Tape in Light Neutral
It Bye Bye Pores Translucent Powder
Real Techniques 4 Mini Miracle Complexion Sponges
e.l.f Moisturizing Foundation Stick in Natural
Diamond Cosmetics Nail File
Physicians Formula InstaReady Full Coverage Concealer in Light
Physicians Formula InstaReady Face Primer
Physicians Formula Mineral Wear Talc Free Cushion Foundation in Light
Physicians Formula Bronze Booster Highlight + Contour Palette
Physicians Formula Argan Wear 2-in-1 Argan Oil & Coconut WaterPrimer
Milani Retouch and Erase concealer in 02 Light
Nuance Salma Hayek Flawless Finish Foundation in Light Warm
Nuance Salma Hayek Flawless Finish Blur Perfection Primer

Small Ulta haul #ULTAhaul ~ Aug/Sept 2016 ~ my last for a while

Welcome to my channel!  This will be my last Ulta haul for a while – likely won’t have another haul until December when my birthday comes… maybe. I have so much stuff and have more than enough that I can do demos and reviews for. I did get a nice bag of freebies – while supplies last anyone can get one by buying $21.50 on Ulta products, which is easy to do. Thanks for watching!

Ulta Haul ~ March 2016 ~ the last order before my no buy | Reviewer's Diary | @ultabeauty #ultabeauty

Thank you for joining me for my March 2016. As I mentioned in my 10 Pan + No Buy video, I already had this order placed before starting that challenge. The next beauty shopping will be restricted to gift certificates I get for Mother’s Day. I got some products that had been lingering on my wish list for a while. This video was recorded in late March.

Christmas 2015 Haul ~ Murad, Smashbox, Urban Decay, Tarte #ULTAhaul / Smashbox

Welcome to my channel. Thank you for joining for my wonderful Christmas haul. Now have to go on a no buy until Mother’s Day. I’m really looking forward to using these products. A couple things I will do now that the unboxing is complete: Foundation demos and I’ll use that Murad set and let you know how my skin did with all those products. If I like the cleanser, which I’m sure I will, I will buy it, but the other products are way too pricey for me.
