My Latest Ulta Haul

Even though I was on vacation last week, I couldn't resist shopping some of the 4th of July sales online! I hauled a bunch of things at Ulta because they had some great giveaways, between the Laura Lee Beauty Bag (free with a $75 purchase) and the Buxom Lip Polish in Dolly with any purchase. I ended up getting mostly skincare with a couple of makeup items...let's take a look!

First, I was super excited to learn that my favorite Korean skincare brand, Skin Food had arrived at Ulta! Even though it's not the entire line yet, quite a few of my favorites are there, plus a few I haven't tried yet. I ended up grabbing the Peach Sake Pore Serum ($16)- this is my second bottle-and the Rice Brightening Scrub Foam ($14) which I haven't tried yet but have always wanted to. To see all of my Skin Food recommendations, check out this post here.

Next, I grabbed some more products from bath & body company, Lalicious. I've been using their Sugar Coconut Body Butter (which I got for free using my code at BeautyKind) and several readers have been telling me that I have to try the Lalicious Shower Oil ($28), so I got it in the same Sugar Coconut scent, which is a light, sweet Coconut Milk-type fragrance (so good!). I was skeptical because most shower oils I've tried don't lather very well, but this one...oh my gosh, it's amazing!! It's super thick and creamy and makes tons of foam, while leaving my skin feeling super soft and silky afterward. I'm already obsessed after one use. I also picked up the Lalicious Hand Cream ($18) in the Brown Sugar Vanilla scent, since I've been wanting to try it. I also got a free Sugar Coconut Body Scrub which is still available with any Lalicious purchase (no minimum required).

Next, I decided to try something from the new Freeman Beauty Infusion line and settled on the Brightening Overnight Mask with Hibiscus & Vitamin C ($7.99). It's a serum-infused water-gel mask that's supposed to minimize dark spots and correct discoloration. The price was right, and it sounded interesting, so I jumped on it! I'll definitely let you guys know how I like it.

Finally, I grabbed two of the new Essence makeup items that I've had in my cart for a few weeks...the Pure Nude Highlighter ($4.49) and the Forbidden Volume False Lash Mascara Topcoat ($3.99). I will definitely be doing reviews on these once I've tried them out, so stay tuned!

Next...the freebies! This is the Laura Lee Beauty Bag that came with a $75 purchase...it's amazing. The Bliss Fabulous Foaming Face Wash ($24) and Laura Geller Baked Gelato in Gilded Honey ($26) are full sizes. Plus, I'm excited to have a travel-size IT Cosmetics Hello Lashes and Purity Cleanser for taking on vacations this summer. I've also been dying to try Benefit's Dew The Hoola bronzer.

Also in this photo is the Buxom Lip Gloss in Dolly (free with any purchase- not part of the Laura Lee bag)...such a pretty shade!

Overall, I'm happy with my haul so far! What about you, did you haul anything during the 4th of July holiday sales?
