What are y'all getting? I can't decide what to get.
The Tarte shape tape is the only thing I've been wanting but I need to find my color (I wear Nars Ginger, maybe Medium)
I might pick up the Hey Honey serum I've heard mentioned here. I've heard good things about the Goodall water oil but I have a giant thing of Algenist oil that I still have more than half of.
I certainly don't need more color makeup but I could be convinced

I love Shape tape, it's my new fav concealer. Was considering getting another shade a bit darker.
Other than that, I don't know what to get either. I want something new in eyeshadows.
I'm on the fence between Modern Renaissance and Tartlette 2 In Bloom. Or possibly just picking up some single eyeshadows.
I currently have Naked 2, 3, Naked Basics 2, Tarte Rainforest of the sea palette (which is meh), and a too faced matte neutrals. I'm not that adventurous with eyeshadow so I'm leaning towards the Tarte but the Modern Renaissance is def way different than anything I have. I've been going back and forth for weeks! Someone tell me what to do!

I got:
TF Chocolate Bon Bons A hairdryer Some NYX foundation to try (LOVE) An NYX shadow stick and eyeliner that were on clearance Some Jack Black chapstick for DH
Then they sent me another 20% off coupon, which I haven't used or decided if I'm using yet.
Also the UD Vice lipstick in Smog is such a cool color. I'm going to rock it on NYE. It's one of the limited edition ones, so get while you can. Here's the Temptalia review.
I cashed in some points since I won't make Platinum this year (still pissed over how much they dicked me over this year). The big thing I got was the Tarteist Pro palette, which is impressing me. I got some other bits and bobs but I'm considering taking them back and getting the Lorac Unzipped palette. I don't think I'd get it at 20% off though so hmmmm.
ETA: I also heavily considered buying a couple of concealers (IT Cosmetics Bye Bye Undereye and the Anastasia one) and the Too Faced Melted Matte in Queen B.
Does anyone know of the point bonuses work in store once you've activated them online? I am seriously eyeing the T3 interchangable curling wand for my coupon, and they are currently doing 5x points on hair tools, which I assume includes that. They are out of stock online, ideally I'd like to get it before our Christmas trip, but of course tonight is the deadline for holiday shipping and the points would be worth the wait assuming it comes back in stock by the 24th... so complicated!

All the things from my points! I really need to go today or tomorrow and get er done. I want to save my non Monopoly money and get a couple items from Beauty Counter.
IT brushes are my fav - any other recs? I need a blush brush. I have the eyeliner smudger brush and mineral foundation - totally love both
IT blush in sweet apple (or one of those disks with the highlight, blush and bronzer) Another IT cream eyeliner in that deeper purple color DEVA shampoo and conditioner DEVA gel and mousse Eyeshadow primer from Too Faced in one of those shimmery colors (a lot of time I sub that as my shadow) Jack black gift set (not for me) Cerave PM moisturizer and the little tube eye cream Another microfiber hair towel Probably a holiday set from BM or Tarte - whatever strikes my fancy - any recs on what is good this year?

The point bonuses are definitely good in the store! That's pretty much always how I shop at Ulta. Once you activate it on your account online, you'll get the point bonus in store.
Definitely check once you get home, though. Several times I haven't gotten all of the bonus points that I should have. Customer service is always really good about correcting the error, but if I hadn't double checked I would never have even thought to ask.

I cashed in my points to get.. Tarte Shape Tape concealer- which is great, but I really wish they didn't put fragrance in it (whyyyy?!) Matrix dry shampoo Shea Moisture after shave elixir Becca Shimmering Skin Perfector Pressed in Bronzed Amber Living Proof shampoo and conditioner NYX HD Blush in Taupe A few UD eyeliners A Cover Girl lipstick Cerave eye cream
The coupon Ulta mailed me had a different code than the one in my email, so I decided to place another order for a few of the TF Sweet Peach lip oils.
Ulta sent me yet another coupon this morning that has a different code from the previously emailed one. Plus they had already snail mailed me a differently coded one that I used earlier on last minute gifts.
So... now I have two codes and here's the list so far: Elf lip exfoliator, TF peach lip glosses, maybe an Amope foot thing, the new Ulta skincare cleanser set, maybe the Nuxe advent calendar?

This is so good to know, thank you! I did manage to order it online last night - I checked right before going to bed and it was back in stock. Fortunately the point bonus worked too and I earned about 1,100 points in one pop. So if anyone is considering a new hair dryer, curling wand, etc., this is a great time to double up on those deals!

Today I used my 20% off coupon AND cashed in my 2000 points. I ended up getting:
CeraVe Foaming Face Wash Olivia Garden ceramic round brush Paul Mitchell Tea Tree shampoo Blowpro Dry Shampoo L'oreal Voluminous Mascara Maybelline Fit Me foundation 2 Urban Decay 24/7 liners in Demolition IT Cosmetics ultra fine liner brush Buxom Full-On Lipstick in Athens Essie Gel Couture in Bubbles Only
After they applied the coupon + the points, it ended up being $7.27! SCORE!
There were some other prestige products I wanted, but they were out of the colors I needed. I have a rare talent at my local Ulta of this happening. Every other color I want in stock, except the one I want!
Also the UD Vice lipstick in Smog is such a cool color. I'm going to rock it on NYE. It's one of the limited edition ones, so get while you can. Here's the Temptalia review.
I'm irritated with my closest Ulta on their stocking of UD lipsticks, though. They are running low or out of quite a few of the colors and seem to be in no rush to re-stock. I had a holiday party last week and I really wanted Trick, but no dice. I ended up with Gubby instead and I actually love it, but I really want something more gold/bronze-y.
I got my second 20% off and all I picked up was a BM Complexion Rescue. This is the first time I've tried it.
New to try products: - Tarte shape tape concealer - TF Chocolate Soleil bronzer in milk chocolate (I have tried a different shade before, but thought I would try the lighter shade for the winter) - NYX HD powder in banana - Cologne for DH for Christmas - Crew shampoo for DH
Repurchases: - Batiste dry shampoo - Paul Mitchell Tea Tree Oil gel - Living Proof Full Conditioner - Giorgio Armani Si rollerball
I am super tempted to grab a couple more items with the new 20% off coupon I got, such as a Benefit Erase paste, Buxom lip cream, a new Clinique bottom lash mascara, but we shall see.
Also the UD Vice lipstick in Smog is such a cool color. I'm going to rock it on NYE. It's one of the limited edition ones, so get while you can. Here's the Temptalia review.

I grabbed 2 NYX soft matte lipsticks UD Naked Skin Becca luminous blush in foxglove - my first ever becca purchase NYX banana powder 2 Shea Moisture soaps IT cosmetics blush brush
I wanted the tarte tease palette but they were out.
Is the NYX banana powder a dupe of the Anastasia banana powder? I have the Anastasia and love it for my undereye area but I wouldn't mind a cheaper option

I got:
It Cosmetics CC cream Bare Minerals Barepro foundation Maybelline instant age rewind concealer in the neutralizer shade Soap and Glory Love at First Blush - they had a rosy radiance powder that I swatched and I thought that was what I was buying but the packages must have been mixed up. I think I'm going to return and get the one I originally bought I was buying NYX duo chromatic illuminating powder in Synthetica- this is beautiful! NYX eyeliner in a deep purple shade NYX eyeshadow palette in Golden Hour - this one might be going back
This purchase earned me platinum status for next year!

No, I think it's a dupe for the Bill Nye banana powder.

I really like the Fit Me foundation. Or at least I can't really tell a difference between it and the expensive foundations I've been purchasing. Perhaps I never found my holy grail.
I also LOVE LOVE LOVE the Buxom full-on lipstick in Athens! It's THE perfect coral color. I have a lot of bright corals and this is a little more muted. They also have a really delicious vanilla-mint flavor thing going on and last pretty decently, considering.
Ulta sent me yet another coupon this morning that has a different code from the previously emailed one. Plus they had already snail mailed me a differently coded one that I used earlier on last minute gifts.

I love my Amope!!
carrotsmakemefat, I don't know if it's a holiday set but the BM The Wish List READY is really pretty. I'm tempted myself.
I think I may stock up on shampoo and some other basics. And that BM palette. And maybe that smudge brush. I better get on it!

I was going to let my 2nd coupon expire as I couldn't think of anything else I needed/wanted to spend money on. But then I got the email this morning that OPI is 50% off today, so...
