UltaMate Rewards

I received my Ulta flyer for the week starting February 2nd and was pleased to see they included a page explaining the new change from The Club at Ulta for those of us up here in the NE to the UltaMate Rewards Program. 

I asked one of the managers at my local Ulta yesterday about the points, for example of someone had spent $50 in January already does that automatically get grandfathered into the program once it starts on February 23rd. The manager at my Ukta said that they do, that once the program goes into effect you will get credit for everything you've purchased as of January 1st. 

And I was also able to find out that Ulta will be sending out a last rewards certificate for this quarter. So for those of you who like me have been spending this quarter and were looking forward to using that certificate towards a perfume, fear not. 

If I am able to find out anything else I will keep you guys updated. 

Until next time guys

Ulta Deals from last week :)

Hey guys, 

I had wanted to get this up earlier but I've been so sick the last week and it completely slipped my mind.

I ended up taking advantage of the Ulta skincare and makeup deal, the L'oreal eye deal, and the L'oreal hair care deal. 

I made out like a bandit, spending less than $20 for 8 products which to me is a bargain, especially considering that the primer retails for $18 on its own. 

I cannot find the bag with the L'oreal products and receipt but once I do I will upload a picture. 

On the folded bits of the receipt something curious happened, there was a point balance and points available section. My Ulta has only offered the Club at Ulta so I had never seen this, I'm hoping this means exciting news is around the corner for those of us who so not have the UltaMate clubs available in our area. 

Until next time guys, 

Yess :) 

NYC HD Color Trio in 781 Long Beach Sands

I received this trio in my Jolly Vox Box courtesy of Influenster and immediately it reminded me of my favorite trio from Wet n Wild. Initially I didn't feel it matched it enough to call it a dupe but with use I have found that they are close enough that when worn they look identical. Those of you who have a hard time finding Wet n Wild in your area but have NYC have a nice hidden gem to discover. 

The eye shadows are smooth and  pigmented. They are all shimmery so pack the color on before blending it out. I also found myself in need of a darker color to make my hooded kids appear more open, but that's the case with my trios. 

It retails in my area for $3.99 at walmart which is a fantastic deal for a nice everyday use palette. I really enjoyed it and it made for a quick daily eye. 

My biggest recommendation is to use a primer you are familiar with and love because it will prolong the wear time of the shadows. 

Until next time guys, take care. 

Yess :) 

I did receive this product for consideration and potential review. All opinions are my own, I have never been paid for a review. 

CVS Renewing Anti-Dark Circle Roller in Medium/Deep

I purchased this rollerball about a year and a half ago during the summer when it was super popular on YouTube. I decided not to invest in the Garnier one because it was $14.99 in my area which to me is way too much, so I opted to check out the generic store brand. The CVS brand one was $9.99 but with coupons and store sales it rang up at less than $4 which is just right in my opinion.

The formula of the roller is really thin, and it is pretty pigmented for being as thin as it is. When I first got it I hated it because the color match was off, it was summer and I was really tan. Now that I have lost all my color it is a much better match.

For 2014 I decided that I wanted to use up what I already have in my stash instead of just purchasing new things. I was searching through my concealer drawer and I found this little gem underneath some of my other rejects. I am so glad I pulled it out. The thin formula is so easy to blend in. The roller ball is really cooling on the undereyes and it is like a refreshing burst of hydration for that delicate skin. I have super dry undereyes but still wear full coverage concealer most days, I am glad to give them a much needed rest.

The concealer is a skin tone shade for me so it does not highlight, but personally I prefer to use a skin tone shade or something close to it than a highlight as my main concern is covering my very dark circles. This concealer covers the dark circles and makes my under eyes feel better overall. I would definitely recommend it. It also does not crease or settle in my fine lines (and I have plenty), and it does not need to be set as it sets to a soft powdery finish. 

If I find any sales or promotions coming up for CVS skincare I will keep you guys updated. 

I had been wearing it for 8 hours and it still looks good :)

Until next time guys, have fun with makeup you have forgotten.

Ulta Deal Almay

The last deal that I have for the week is an Almay one.
This deal becomes even better if you have any $5 off 2 coupons from Coupons.com in your coupon binder.

Once again it seemed as if the Ulta website was seriously lacking Almay products as every other one was sold out, but I was able to find a potential sale idea.

This sale is better in store as you have access to more variety  and of course it is nicer on the wallet. If you purchase the items shown in the picture you are looking at $7.99 for the mascara, eyeshadow trio and the makeup remover pads. Its a great deal.

Until next time guys, have fun shopping.

Ulta Deal- Organix

I will be heading to the store today to see if I can take advantage of this deal and I thought I would share my plan for taking advantage of this deal.
I like Organix, I a currently using the Morrocan Oil Shampoo and Conditioner and enjoy the smell and texture of the products. And when I saw this deal I thought maybe I should head out and see if I find a few more things I like.

This deal is best if you can head to the store to take advantage of it. The current deal is that if you purchase $12 worth of Organix items you get a free Kukui Oil. Most Organix products are marked down to $5.99 this week so you will have to buy 3 to qualify for the deal. For the deal mentioned above if you purchase in store you are getting 4 full size Organix products for $14.47 which is a fantastic deal.

Until next time guys have fun shopping and I will keep you updated on my own purchase.

Urban Decay Anarchy Face Case

For those that were not lucky enough to pick up the Urban Decay Anarchy Face Case on the Sephora website when it was on sale for $29 there may be a chance for you to pick it up. I was recently in my local Sephora and they had about 20 stacked up by the register marked $29. So if this is something that you were thinking about picking up I recommend taking a trip to your local Sephora or giving them a call and asking if they have any in store.

If you are a fan of the old formula of Urban Decay eyeshadows then you will enjoy these. The glitter in them is a little on the chunky side but the colors and the eyeshadows are really beautiful.

Eyeshadows: Redemption, Fray, Vaporize, Provocateur, Revolt

Blushes and Highligter: Fetish, Quickie, Craze

 Super Saturated Lip Pencil in Scandal
24/7 Glide on Liner in Perversion

Have a great day,

Yess :) 

Oh My Lash! Sweetheart Collection

On the 12th of this month Yess saw a post for free lashes on Instagram. All you had to do was pay for the shipping. After looking at other lashes from the collection and searching them on Instagram, we decided it was a really cool deal. The lashes arrived really quick and I must say they are so beautiful. The Sweetheart Collection includes 4 different pairs: Barbara, Chelsea, Desiree, and Jo Jo.

Aren't they gorgeous?!?! Oh My lash states that each pair can last up to 25 applications if proper upkeep is done. They are so beautiful and soft. I can't wait to wear them. They have many other collections, and all of them are drool worthy. Shipping is $5.95, so it's best to buy a couple to make it worth it. Overall, I was not disappointed with how pretty they are. Now I just have to wear them to let you know how they hold up.

Ulta 20% Off Surprise Email

I woke to this morning to a pleasant surprise from Ulta Beauty, a 20% off coupon. This one does have a few more exclusions but it still works on most of the stores. 

I am going to check out the website and share my ideas for some deals to be had this week and any for next week I can find. 

Until next time guys, have fun shopping. 

-Yess :) 

Ulta Deal- Physicians Formula

I wanted to give you guys some more ideas on what you can purchase using the some of the coupons that are currently offered on the Ulta website.
I am a deal lover and I tend to pick up most of my cosmetics when there is some sort of a promotion going on.

Once again I have linked the coupons down below for those interested in taking advantage of the deals, do not forget that most Ulta stores will let you combine a coupon for a free gift with the $3.50 off $10 coupon they continuously offer. And even better, you do not have to print either coupon to use it if you can display it for them on your smart phone.

Todays deal is on some Physicians Formula items, this is just an idea of what you can get. Unfortunately the stock on the website is looking rather limited so if you get the chance to check out your local store I would definitely recommend it.

Most Physicians Formula items are buy one get one 50% off.

Also if you are shopping in store you do not need to worry about paying shipping and the $3.50 will be all savings. For the deal listed above you would only be paying $10.99 plus tax out of pocket, which is a great deal.

Have a great day guys and stay tuned for more deals.

Ulta Deal

Recently I posted about a great deal that could be found at Ulta if you received one of the 20% off coupons. If you did not take advantage of the sale have no fear I have an idea on how to get a few things at a great price.

Currently Ulta is offering up some great deals online and some in store through the 25th of January. 

I have come up with a scenario that will get you some great products for under $30.

Currently Ulta has a coupon that stipulates that if you purchase a L'oreal mascara, or eyeliner you can receive a free L'oreal Infallible Eyeshadow. I took advantage of this deal the last time I was in the store and I'll link the coupon for any that wish to do so as well. If you add $10 worth of items to your cart you can use the $3.50 off $10 coupon and save yourself a little on the shipping.

You can also get a great deal on some makeup and skin care items from the Ulta Brand line. 

At the moment if you spend $12 combined on skincare and/or makeup from the Ulta Brand you can use a coupon in store to receive a free $18 face primer of 4 different one (Matte primer, Hydro primer, Flawless primer, and Fabulous Face Foundation Primer). This is a fantastic deal if you are in the market for a new primer or you want to try out a few new Ulta products.
The second deal is that for any $8 worth of skincare you purchase you get the Enriched Cleansing Cloths (25 count). Now I am not sure that this deal is available in store because it is not clearly stated on the website but it makes for a great deal either way.
The only bad thing is that you have to pay shipping but if you use the $3.50 off $10 coupon that can always be found on the Ulta website then it makes shipping only $2.49 which is great.
The code for this month is 102647.

But I did manage to come up with a deal that looks pretty tempting.

Have a great day guys,

Yess :)


I have linked the Ulta coupon down below.

Urban Decay Shattered Face Case on sale at Ulta

For those of you who wanted the Urban Decay Shattered Face Case for the holidays but did not find it under the tree on Christmas morning I have a great deal. Recently Ulta announced that it would be having another 20% off Friends and Family Sale from January 12 to January 18 which makes for a ton of great deals if you know what you are looking for. I have included a link at the bottom for the coupon. 

The deal I am bringing to you today is the Urban Decay Shattered Face Case.

It is currently retailing for $29 on thewww.ulta.com which is a great deal all on its own when compared to the Face Cases original $44.00 price tag.

With the 20% this good deal becomes a great deal, it totals a whopping $23.20 which is a little too good to pass up. Remember you get 5 eye shadows, 2 blushes, a highlighter, a full size super saturated lip pencil and a half size eye liner all for under $25.00.

I have included some pictures of the face case as I got it for Christmas and I can say that if you are a fan of that old style of Urban Decay shadows you will not be disappointed.

I really like it, but I am a fan of glittery shadows. The blushes are nice and pigmented with a decent wear time. I have oily skin so 5-6 hours is a nice amount of wear for me. 

Blushes: Overexposed and Temper

Highlighter: Glint

Eyeshadows: Shakedown, Remix, Nameless, Minor Sin, Bleach

Super saturated lip pencil in Lovechild
