Ulta gift card

mysweetpeasWil&Wes wrote: My mom just sent me a $50 giftcard to Ulta for Xmas. What should I buy?? I also just got a 20% off coupon from them...but it needs to be used this week. Help! I really need new makeup but I'm a little intimidated going in by myself. Will they try things on for you? I like the Bare Escentual eyeshadows. I noticed they have a lot of cool "kits" there, which is the reason I asked for this specific gift. Just not sure which to get. I have green eyes, do they sell a kit just for eye colors? Is there another line of makeup there I should try? I typically use Origins.

OMG you guys, I should buy a NEW hairdryer!!!!! Remember my post about mine that just broke?...............Duh.

grapfruit replied: What is Ulta??? I'm so out of it.

Maybe I'll just google it.

boyohboyohboy replied: we just got one, its a store that sells make up and hair products perfume, all the higher end stuff..
its neat, and you can get make overs there

luvmykids replied: Is it like Sephora? If so, I'd be in heaven The salespeople are really low key and there are samples of everything out and you can just play to your hearts content....don't be intimidated! Have fun, what a great gift!

Mommy2Isabella replied: We have one but I have never been in, I wouldn't get a hair dryer, I would spoil myself with makeup and get a hair dryer from target!! Go have FUN!!

boyohboyohboy replied:
yes its just like that

gr33n3y3z replied: go buy stuff you wount normally buy for yourself
have fun

mysweetpeasWil&Wes replied:
Good point! Target for a hairdryer is probably a better idea. Less expensive. I told my mom I wanted a GC from Ulta for makeup, so that's really what I should buy. Thanks for the reminder!

Monica, yeah, it's similar to Sephora!! The last time I was in there though, there were girls half my age trying on makeup together, so that's why it felt a little intimidating. But heck, who cares right? Maybe I can grab one of my girlfriends so that I have someone to tell me what looks good or not, truthfully.

coasterqueen replied: Go Bare Essentuals!!! I LOVE that stuff.

when i was there, the woman told me that if you during the week its not as crowded, and less intimidating..the weekends are nuts

Good to know, but I only have a baby sitter on the weekends (DH). Maybe I can sneak off this evening.
