Sephora and Ulta Sale

So Ulta decided to up their game and go all in with 20% for members. What does it take to be a member? Just sign up. It’s that easy. You can also sign up to be a Beauty Insider with Sephora and get 10% off, VIB’s get 15% off. So you would think why not do all my shopping at Ulta right? Well Sephora and Ulta carry some of the same stuff there is a big difference of stuff between the two. They both have Urban Decay and a lot of the same makeup but Ulta has more affordable makeup while Sephora tends to carry more high end products. Also Sephora has skincare and hair products as does Ulta but they tend to carry different brands and Ulta has a lot more nail polish choices.

So I wanted more of the benefit bad girl bang mascara because of the amazing results it gives me. I love the Essie polish so I am going to stock up on that.  The StriVectin Hair I thought would be a good choice for myself and my daughter for this summer being out in the sun.  I love Urban Decay face sprays and thought it would be handy to keep one of these in the car for the summer. If you havn’t tried the Butter Gloss your missing out, just saying. This butter bronzer is what everyone has been talking about smelling so good so getting some of that. I go the Maui Babe out in Hawaii and love this stuff!!! Can’t believe that they have it so getting some of that. And Mac!!! I need a new brow pencil so definilty stocking up and figured I would try the Anastasia one as well. And well I’m pretty sure my Sharpener needs replaced so score there getting on sale.

I did a Sephora post last week about the early sale for VIB’s so you can check out that page for some of those options and I am going to list some items that I am picking up from Ulta today so you can see the difference. Going to stock up on some of my favorites and some of the items that have been out of my reach because of the price tag. I have included in the list below some of the items that I love in case you want to check them out for yourself.

SO, either way its a win win- just depends on what you want. Have fun shopping!!!
