I got these at Ulta. It was only $22 believe it or not. They had certain shades of Butter London on sale for 3 for $15. So I got Jack the Lad, Chuffed, and Jaded Jack.

The China Glaze holo was marked down from $14 to $2.99. The Essence polish was $1.99 and the SH was like $2 or $3.

I scored!!!

You can't beat that price for those Butters! They seem to be discontinuing a bunch of colors so hopefully we see more on sale =)

Now I need to go check out my Ulta! lol

Yep. You must. I hope they discon Rosie Lee. That's one that I am dying for right now. Sad thing is that they are disconing Victoriana. I love that one and I think I need a backup.

WHAT!? Really? I've also been trying to track down Victoriana at a decent price. Shipping always ends up putting it over the top unfortunately =/

First a story, then my haul.

My MIL and 10 year old niece visited this past weekend and my MIL wanted a haircut, so we went to Ulta.  While my MIL was getting an awesome haircut (she got a graduated bob and looks fantastic), I browsed the makeup with my niece.  I was told that she's been asking about makeup, but her mom and my MIL (her grandmother) don't really wear it, so I was glad to be the one to expose her to some stuff.  

I didn't realize that Ulta had makeup testers (the Ulta's in my city are in areas that I don't go to that often), so I was happy to get color matched with the UD foundation I had my eye on.  My niece was totally adorable while I was being color matched.  She asked me if I would buy her something and I said ok.  Her birthday was recently and I was waiting for her visit to get her something.  She was looking at the makeup and I guess I forgot to tell her that all of the testers were things she could touch, because one of the employees who walked by kind of laughed and said, "Sweetie, you can totally touch that.  It's what it's there for!"  I think she thought she was going to be in trouble for playing with the makeup.  

After I got my mini makeover, she came up to me and said she had decided what she wanted, which was a UD eyeshadow palette.  I think that's probably too pricey for a 10 year old, but the colors were ok (she loved the Electric palette, but I knew I'd get a phone call from her dad about that one), so I made her promise she would take very good care of it and figured that it would be a good birthday gift.  

My haul that day:

UD Naked foundation in .5

UD Ammo palette (niece's gift)

Benefit Sugarbomb (blush the employee used on me and I really liked, which was surprising to me, as it looked too blah in the box, but looked awesome on me)

UD Pulp Fiction lipstick (wasn't going to buy it, but it's a great red on me)

UD Shadow in Hijack (love it!)

Sally Hansen polish in Pacific Blue

Nicole by OPI in Mer-Maid for Each Other

Revlon polish in Casino Lights

Essie in I'm Addicted

@@splash79 That is awesome that your niece has you in her life to help! I think the Ammo palette, while pricey, is a fantastic starter. She will probably have that for years. It was my first nice palette and I used it every day for legit at least 4 years.

I am on a no buy but, it seems that I am buying.   I think this purchase should satisfy my buying urges.  Here is why I slipped on this one.
 
Lord & Taylor had a Estee Lauder GWP.  Some really good GWP items for me


Pure Color Gloss   One Size/Nude Rose  $24.00   ~ I have been suffering with a Lancôme product so, I went with this in attempt to feel good about buying lip color again.  I don't NEED this. 

Double Wear Stay-in-Place Lip Pencil One Size/Nude $21.00 ~ I do not have one of these.  But, have wanted to try using one.   All the old gals on youtube seem to recommend.  Again, I don't NEED this.  But, I needed to spend $45.00 and trying something new seemed the way to go.

GWP Items:

Sumptuous, Bold Volume Lifting Mascara in Black ~ I have free mascaras coming out of my arse.  But, Estee makes good stuff.  Who knows.

NEW Modern Muse Body Lotion ~ I am desperate for a lotion that works for me.  So, looking forward to this.

How to Card

Cosmetic Bag
Resilience Lift Creme SPF 15 ~  I had 3 creme's to chose from.  I have tried one of them that I love.
Advanced Night Repair Serum ~  2 serums to chose from. I have been dying to try this.  My Skin Inc serum is almost gone from July's glossy.  So, I would have bought this by the end of the month for $62 to try and with no extra goodies. 

Tiger Eye Lipstick ~ This color looks awesome for me.  There were 2 to chose from.
Warm Eye Palette  ~ Cool was also a choice.  I suspect this won't be two big.  But, 6 colors!  Are you kidding me?  I get to try 6?

This was a whole lot of product for $47.   I would have been paying $62 by the end of the month for a replacement so, I felt I had to take advantage now.

Had a cheap few impulse buys today lol

A Sonia Kashuk brush set, some Elf "Everyday Lash Collection" false eyelashes (never tried this brand), and of course, some colorful hair clips

 

[Elena K]

I'm supposed to be on no buy for August (with exception of necessaries and true replacements). However, I came across ELF store while waiting for an appointment and caved in. In my defense I can say that I never tried anything from them before, even though I heard a lot, and I was really curios, and they had tester for everything, and they are cheap... So, all things considered the damage was minimal - I got Mineral Lipstick in Ripe Rose (am I the only one who thinks it's an odd name for lipstick color?), Mineral Lip Pencil in Raisin and fan brush from their studio line.

No buy for August. We simply can’t afford it this month. BUT, my mom was so nice and offered to get me some dye for my hair; I guess that’s how bad the re-growths have gotten, haha!
For 3+ years I’ve been dying my hair black. And although I reaaally love when it’s that dark I thought I’d go dark brown this time instead; the sun has made it much lighter so I figured this was the perfect time to do so. I’ll be trying out Garnier’s “Olia 4.0 Dark Brown” today!

From Clarins I bought the firm lift jar and the rest were GWP  and at the VIB Rouge event (Sephora) I bought some Tarte, Bumble & Bumble and some Sephora eye shadows, the lip balm and a small acne wash while in the check out line.  

 

[jayeme]

I logged into Rue La La and magically had $25 credit! I spent at total of less than $3 including tax and shipping for a Nuxe toner. Can't wait for it to get here!

 

[Brandy Roberts]

Sephora x's 3!  I'm in trouble...HAHAHA.  I was at the Smashbox photo shoot and purchased from Smashbox, then went to SiJCP (in the same mall) where the employees are SUPER NICE and NEVER make me feel bad, and purchased the bulk of what you see, then back to the main store to trade two of my Smashbox items for the bronzer/blush mix and eye shadow trio (because earlier I let a Sephora rep talk me out of them...but I really wanted those) and grab another Algenist product.  Both visits to the main store I had to force the lip goodie bag (by saying yes you do have it, I have seen it in other shoppers' bags!) and upon entry to the SiJCP the manager said "Hey are you here for your new goodie bag?" and I hadn't even entered the Sephora square footage!!  My freebies are the lip products in upper left x's2, and from SiJCP hands of hope, and the cosmetic bag with goodies on top in the lower right.  The Bare Minerals mini blush was a 100 point perk. Also Bumble & Bumble gave me the hair conditioner.  One of the hand made samples are from the main Sephora from the lady who recommended the product while doing my makeup, and the other two are from SiJCP upon request. I have to check my receipts for that smashbox brush...have no idea where that came from although I would imagine it was a gift from the event...The rest are purchases.

I LOVE the Daisy perfume. I'm all out though :c </3

 

[babycat]

Yep. You must. I hope they discon Rosie Lee. That's one that I am dying for right now. Sad thing is that they are disconing Victoriana. I love that one and I think I need a backup.

Was your Ulta actually advertising this on the display or anything?  Cause I went in to my Ulta today and the sales associate was super rude when i asked if any shades were getting discontinued.  He was like no none of these are getting discontinued.  So I was like well, I read online that at other Ultas they were.  So there!  lol
