Fall Haul: Ulta

Here's what I've purchased my last few trips to Ulta or have purchased online.


I couldn't find one of my Color Sticks because I think it's in one of my purses or something. I've been using my LORAC PRO palette for a while, but will be doing more looks using it and reviewing these other products soon. Have you used any of these products?

Review: Turbie Twist


I picked this up at Wal-Mart the other day for $4.98! I will admit I'm a sucker for items featured in infomercials and this was no exception! I would never buy something over the phone, so when I saw this for less than $5 I had to try it! I've been using it for a few days now and I love it! Before I would just dry off and then put my hair up using my big body towel. This would not stay in place, was super heavy and the Turbie Twist is the complete opposite. I realize I could use a smaller towel, but the Turbie Twist's elastic loop is a game changer! It really makes a big difference. I have pretty thick, long hair, so I was leery of it all fitting, so when I got home I tried it out with my dry hair and it fit with room to spare! It is made of a soft terry cloth and comes in multiple colors. It is also machine washable. I highly recommend trying it out or giving this as a gift!

LOTD: Light Pink & Gray

I applied my face make up like I usually do and used the same mascara combination I've been using for months. For my eyeshadow I used Too Faced Gum Drop on my lid to my crease then Too Faced Satin Sheets from my crease to brows and in the inner corner of my eyes as a highlight. Then I used Urban Decay's Pistol in my crease. I've been applying my highlight before my crease color lately and I've noticed everything blends better that way. Pretty simple!


My lips I used my Lush Honey Trap lip balm to moisturizer my lips and then Buxom lip gloss in Kanani.


My earrings are from Forever 21 and my shirt is from C.J. Banks.



My ring was a gift from my aunt which was a gift to her from my Grandpa. I love it! I repainted my nails yesterday and I used OPI Berlin There Done That.


Thanks for reading!

LOTD: Blush & Gold

This look is inspired by a Macy's outfit I bought earlier in the year. I also purchased the earrings from there as well. For my eyes I used Urban Decay's Toasted on my lids just to my crease, Virgin from my crease to my brows, and then Hustle in the outer one-third of my eye and brought a little of the deeper shade up into my crease as well. I applied Ulta's Automatic eyeliner in Black/Brown and my usual mascara duo combo. I curled my eyelashes again and then applied Half Baked in a vertical swipe where my iris is. This added a gold element to the blush color of Toasted.

And voilĂ :


I used Buxom lip gloss in Dolly.

NOTD: Social Ladder

Love this classy, neutral color!

FOTD: Urban Decay NAKED Palette

Here's a quick look that can easily be dressed up or dressed down. First, UD Primer Potion on entire lid. Next, I pat Sidecar from lash to crease. (This is a color I have not used until now and I'm obsessed! It is glittery, shimmery goodness!) Next, I applied Sin from crease to brows. Lastly, Darkhorse! I applied this in a back and forth motion in the crease of my eye. Just right in the socket. I did not pull this shadow up, but simply kept it in my crease. Today I only used Ulta Automatic Eyeliner in a Black/Brown, but if I wanted to dress it up I would use something longer lasting like Rimmel Scandaleyes Waterproof Kohl liner. I used both Sephora Full Action and Almay Get Up & Grow mascaras. For my lips I used a Revlon Lip Butter in Red Velvet.






As you may be able to tell, I dressed it down today. It's a sweatpants kinda Sunday watching General Conference. Thanks for reading! :D
