After buying very little makeup for the past few months, I decided to treat myself to a few new bits from Ulta. Currently, Ulta is hosting a '21 Days of Beauty' Event, which has a bunch of steals and deals up for grabs until the beginning of April. That being said, once the need arose to purchase a new mascara, I knew exactly where to go!
A cult classic, and at such a great price! I've heard loads about this particular brow gel, and after being totally underwhelmed by the Anastasia version (at nearly 4x the price, may I add), I thought a drugstore version might suit my brows and my pocket better.
I haven't heard much about this mascara, but I'm hoping this mascara will give tons of volume without making my lashes crunchy - you know that feeling. Slightly more expensive than the average drugstore mascara, but with the usual Ulta 'buy one get one half off' sales, it comes out to a decent price!

| Left to Right: Soap & Glory Brow Pencil & Tint, Revlon Lip Butters in Strawberry Shortcake & Juicy Papaya |
After owning and loving two of these bad boys (Pink Truffle and Peach Parfait, for reference), I thought it was time to add a few new lip butters to the mix. I initially opted for Juicy Papaya, hoping it would be a dupe for one my all-time favorite sheer lipsticks - YSL Rouge Volupté Sheer Candy in 02 Dewy Papaya ($34). Although they are similar, the Revlon version is more pigmented, but otherwise they give a similar finish and gloss to the lips - I think I just saved myself $26. I also picked up Strawberry Shortcake, mostly because there was 'buy one get one half off' on Revlon products, but also in hopes of a perfect summery pink shade! I haven't tried this one yet, but my hopes are high and I will report back soon enough.
Once I got to the counter to purchase everything, I was shocked to find out that as part of Ulta's '21 Days of Beauty' Event, they were giving away a free full-sized version of this! I'm not sure what the minimum is to receive this, perhaps $20 (which is just below what I spent)? I've always wanted to try something from the It's A 10 line, but the price point always put me off. This Keratin version is meant to be used 1-2x a week, instead of regular hair oil which I use after every hair wash. I'm so excited to try this, so head to your local Ulta to see if they have any in stock for Free GWP!
Soap & Glory Archery Brow Tint and Pencil in Love Is Blonde - £10
Finally, I received this yesterday in the post after purchasing this hyped up brow pencil. I ended up ordering it off of eBay, which is always a little sketchy, but useful, nonetheless. Although I have light brown hair, this shade matches my brows perfectly, giving a dark blonde/light brown tint to my brows. I use the marker bit to draw on little hairs into my brows, and then go over everything with the pencil, afterwards. Unfortunately, this isn't available in the US, as far as I know, but if you have Soap & Glory makeup readily available near you, I would definitely recommend giving this a go!
