Considering how often I shop or simply just browse through Ulta Beauty, I thought I would start a new series spotlighting several of my current favorite beauty products. Let’s take a look at the latest products to make the list!
The Products
1. The Vintage Cosmetic Peggy Make-Up Headband ($4.99)
The Vintage Cosmetic is easily one of my favorite beauty brands, so naturally I was ecstatic when they began selling their products in Ulta Beauty. Their latest release, the Peggy Make-Up Headband is without a doubt my favorite one they’ve made yet. Adorned with a subtle leopard print, this headband is perfect for keeping hair out of your face when applying makeup or at-home facials/masks. I love to use mine when I’m taking a bubble bath & don’t want to get my hair wet. With a comfortable stretchy fit, this headband is made for all head sizes and hair types. Buy at ULTA.
2. Stila Lingerie Soufflé Skin Perfecting Primer ($36)
After falling in love with Stila’s Lingerie Soufflé Skin Perfecting Color, I knew I also had to try the Primer. As predicted, the Stila Lingerie Soufflé Skin Perfecting Primer performed like a dream. The opulently-whipped gel is formulated with light-refracting pearls that add a natural-looking glow with a blurring, skin perfecting effect. Available in two finishes: Sheer Illumination (illuminating) & Sun-Kissed (bronzing). This skin-loving formula contains natural botanicals and over 70% water for a hydrated feel all day long. I apply this primer after moisturizing and before my foundation. Buy at ULTA.
3. Black Moon Cosmetics Liquid to Matte Lipstick “Warrior” ($18)
Another brand that I was thrilled to see join Ulta Beauty was Black Moon Cosmetics! This indie brand has been a favorite of mine for years and it was about time that such a large makeup conglomerate took notice to their widespread success. Currently available in Ulta is their liquid lipstick in shade, “Warrior”, a stunning balanced nude suitable for all skin tones. In addition to Warrior, Ulta Beauty also carries Sleepwalker, their cult-favorite black liquid lipstick. Warrior was even created in conjunction with a cause: cancer awareness year-round. In support of this cause, a portion of sales are donated directly to City of Hope Cancer Research and Treatment Center in Duarte, California. Buy at ULTA.
4. La Roche-Posay Toleriane Ultra Night Cream for Sensitive Skin ($29.99)
La Roche-Posay’s Toleriane Ultra Night Cream has become a staple in my nighttime skincare routine. Providing instant and long-lasting comfort, this night cream helps to restore skin’s protective moisture barrier throughout the night. The minimalist formula was created without ingredients commonly known to cause potential irritation or allergic reactions. I love how my skin feels in the morning after applying this cream before bed. Buy at ULTA.
5. Leaders Aloe Soothing Renewal Mask ($5)
The Leaders Aloe Soothing Renewal Mask is another great product if you have sensitive skin like I do. This daily cotton sheet mask helps to relieve sensitive skin from internal and external stressors. Formulated with organic aloe vera and cactus extract, this mask relieves tired skin and supplies abundant moisture to protect and maintain healthier skin. I recommend also checking out the Leaders Primer Masks! Buy at ULTA.
6. Burt’s Bees Detoxifying Clay Mask ($14.99)
Every so often my skin is in serious need of a detox. Thankfully, Burt’s Bees released their Detoxifying Clay Mask, which has become my go-to. This 99% natural charcoal clay mask lifts away impurities such as dirt, oil, and toxins that tend to clog pores and cause skin to look and feel dull. Also formulated with superfruit ingredients such as acai, the rich antioxidants and nutrients leave skin balanced and nourished, for healthier-looking skin. I like to use this mask before bed, as there’s no better feeling than waking up with a bright and cleansed complexion. Buy at ULTA.
7. Nivea Essentially Enriched Body Lotion ($8.49)
When deciding on a lotion, it’s important to find one with natural ingredients. The Nivea Essentially Enriched Body Lotion is definitely one I recommend as it’s enriched with natural sea minerals and almond oil. Providing intense moisture, this lotion transforms very dry skin into healthier-looking, more nourished and hydrated skin. If you’re wondering how it works, Nivea’s exclusive Hydra IQ technology supports skin’s own hydration network to unleash deep, non-stop moisture that lasts just over 24 hours. I recommend checking out their other products as well as Nivea is a brand that truly values the needs of their consumers. Buy at ULTA.
8. Colourpop Disney Villains Misunderstood Palette ($22)
Rooting for the good guys is boring, wouldn’t you agree? In collaboration with Disney, Colourpop has brought us yet another palette we are all fawning over: the Disney Villains Misunderstood Palette! This 15 pan eyeshadow palette combines intense mattes, colour shifting duo chromes, and rich metallics for a mixed finish variety that is essential in a palette as legendary as this one.
