Seriously, though, I'm like a kid in a candy store there. During college, a friend and I would enjoy browsing in Sephora during our semi-annual trips to the Galleria in Dallas. Those shopping days were so much fun. One time I bought a nail polish that was a metallic Tiffany blue color. It cost $10, but I didn't care. Splurging was allowed on those days.
So now we have an Ulta in Burleson. I may never leave town now that I don't have to go to Fort Worth for the good stuff. Between the new shops here and online shopping, I'm set.
Now, some of you might be thinking, Uh, don't you think you should buy your makeup and hair products at the grocery store or somewhere that has stuff that normal people use? I do use some "normal" stuff--Suave shampoo (though I sometimes use the Aveda shampoo, which my husbands likes) and I do use Cover Girl blush sometimes. I'm pretty frugal, but I do like quality products. The right ones are worth it.
Here are some of my latest, greatest purchases:
- Urban Decay's mineral makeup (great for my skin) in Illusion (the color)
- Opi nail polish in My Chiuahua Bites (love their color names--wish I could name makeup colors for a living)
- Maybelline eyeliner in Sapphire Glimmer (I'll try that out tomorrow; I know it's not a designer brand really, but buying it feels so much more of a luxury when you buy it at Ulta)
Target, don't worry--you'll always be my top favorite.

Hahaha, Ulta is a DANGEROUS place for me, with my lipstick/hair product addiction. Yes ma'am, I can't go in the joint without spending at least $20, usually more like $30 or $40. I am especially fond of the hair product section in the salon, where they have all the "professional" brands (except Aveda, of course). I wish they had trial sizes of everything, because they all sound so cool, but they don't all work well on my hair. Of course I'm currently using Fructis Surf Hair Texture Paste, which I can get at Walgreens, but there are a couple of other hair goos that I get at Ulta. I got my jar of "Dirt" by Jonathan there. Love. It. That's the best part of having short bedhead hair, all those groovy products were meant for me . . . My next dream is to break down and spill the cash for some MAC lipstick - it's legendary. But it's so hard to choose a shade . . . or three.
Fructis Hair Texture Paste? Ooo! Sounds cool! (And an excuse to go to Target is always wonderful.) I use something similar, but it's rather expensive (but it lasts forever). I've used some other pastes (even expensive ones), but this one just works great on my hair. It's called Crude Clay by Sebastian. Love it, love it, love it.
