Ulta and Sephora Birthday Haul

 

Sephora and Ulta Birthday Haul on southeastbymidwest.com #birthdayhaul #sephorahaul #ultahaul
My birthday was back in April and I decided to wait until the end of April to film a collective birthday haul. I wasn’t able to get this onto my YouTube channel and here on the blog until now due to some medical issues. However, now I’m back on track so expect tons more videos and posts coming your way soon!

Here is the birthday haul video and details about all products from my birthday haul are below the video. However, make sure to still watch the video!

Ulta

OPI Muppets Most Wanted

OPI Muppets Most Wanted on southeastbymidwest.com #birthdayhaul #ultahaul #opimuppets

Purchase: Online

Price: $12.95

Contains:
  • Miss Piggy’s Big Number
  • I Love Applause
  • Kermit Me to Speak
  • Chillin’ Like a Villain

Tarte Travel Size BB Cream

Tarte Travel BB Cream on southeastbymidwest.com #birthdayhaul #ultahaul #tarte

Purchase: Online

Price: $10

Information:

I’ve wanted to try Tarte’s BB Cream for the longest time. Finding this deluxe sample size at the checkout counter was a great find!

Tarte Lights, Camera, Lashes 4-in-1 Mascara

Tarte Lights, Camera, Lashes 4-in-1 Travel Size Mascara on southeastbymidwest.com #birthdayhaul #ultahaul #tarte

Purchase: Online

Price: $10

Information:

This is another product that I found around the checkout area right before I was checking out. I was glad that I found this as well because I’ve been wanting to try this mascara for the longest time. I’m hoping that it lives up to the hype!

Rimmel Glam Eyes Shadow Quad in State of Grace

Rimmel Glam Eyes Shadow Quad in State of Grace on southeastbymidwest.com #birthdayhaul #ultahaul #rimmel

Purchase: Online

Price: $5.99

Information:

I saw this at Ulta before I went and shopped for my Rimmel Tutorial, however, Walmart didn’t have this quad in stock. After a week or so this was still calling my name so I went back and bought it!

The Body Shop Vitamin E Mask

The Body Shop Vitamin E Mask on southeastbymidwest.com #birthdayhaul #ultahaul #thebodyshop

Purchase: Online

Price: $2.50

Information:

I recently tried my first set of The Body Shop’s products so when I saw that they did face masks I knew I wanted to try at least one. I picked a basic Vitamin E mask as my first one to try.

Revlon Spiderman Nail Polish in Spidey Sense

Revlon Spiderman Nail Polish in Spidey Sense on southeastbymidwest.com #birthdayhaul #ultahaul #revlon

Purchase: In Store Only

Price: Price May Vary

Information:

As soon as I saw the display for this collection I knew I HAD to get something. The packaging for this collection is just GORGEOUS. I was only able to pick up this shade and the one below as they were literally the only two that my Ulta had.

Revlon Spiderman Nail Polish in Super Powered

Revlon Spiderman Nail Polish in Super Powered on southeastbymidwest.com #birthdayhaul #ultahaul #revlon

Purchase: In Store Only

Price: Price May Vary

Information:

As I mentioned above my Ulta only had the nail polishes in Spidey Sense and Super Powered which left me really bumbed. What really ticked me off though was the fact that they had JUST put this display up, I literally watched them unbox it, and they only had two of the polishes?

Revlon Spiderman Lip Gloss in Killer-Watt

Revlon Spiderman Lip Gloss in Killer-Watt on southeastbymidwest.com #birthdayhaul #ultahaul #revlon

Purchase: In Store Only

Price: Price May Vary

Information:

The same thing that happened with the nail polishes also happened with the lip glosses as they were both on the same display. The only shades that my Ulta had available in the lip glosses was Killer-Watt, this gorgeous red, and Electro Shock, the blue below.

Revlon Spiderman Lip Gloss in Electro Shock

Revlon Spiderman Lip Gloss in Electro Shock on southeastbymidwest.com #birthdayhaul #ultahaul #revlon

Purchase: In Store Only

Price: Price May Vary

Information:

Due to the limited stocking I was only going to get the two nail polishes and I was going to skip the lip glosses all together. However, once I saw this blue shade as a lip gloss I knew I had to get it and try it out. I’m eager to test and swatch it for the blog (check back soon for that!)!

CK One Color Mascara in Black

CK One Color Mascara in Black on southeastbymidwest.com #birthdayhaul #ultahaul #ckone

Purchase: Similar Online

Price: Free but similar is $18.00

Information:

I was really hoping that you’d get to choose any of the colors from CK One Color Mascara line and they would just comp the mascara with your printed email coupon. However, this is not the case. They actually have a set of mascara behind the counter of plain black mascara with the “Happy Birthday” printed on the box.

There are a few important things to remember: First off Ulta now requires you to PRINT out and bring in the email that says that you are entitled to the mascara, if you do not do this the cashier WILL treat you rudely. Secondly, take the coupon to the counter do not go and get a mascara and ask if you are supposed to get one off the shelf or if they have them behind the counter you will again be treated rudely and the mascara from the shelf WILL be snatched out of your hands and placed behind the counter while they get you the free one. NOTE TO ULTA: You lost out on a very large sale by having that second rude cashier. I was actually going to purchase the CK One Mascara in Violet if the free one was behind the counter (or a basic black shade), also the mascara was the first thing I did as soon as I walked into the store I had a couple hundred that I was going to continue walking around and drop in the store. However, when snatch and grab there decided to be rude I decided to end my trip and take my money and business to the Mac Counter and to Sephora (both of whom were very nice and appreciated all that money).

Sephora

Sephora Pump Dispenser

Sephora Pump Bottle on southeastbymidwest.com #birthdayhaul #sephorahaul #sephora

Purchase: Online

Price: $11

Information:

This is similar to what Sephora keeps at the end of their isles with alcohol and makeup remover in them. From the first time I went into a Sephora I loved how easy and sanitary these containers were. As soon as I realized that they actually sold them I knew I was getting at least one. I do believe that more are in my future. A full review of this will be coming to the blog soon!

Sephora Nail Kit

Sephora Nail Kit on southeastbymidwest.com #birthdayhaul #sephorahaul #sephora

Purchase: Online

Price: $34

Contains:
  • Fan Brush
  • Flat Brush
  • Dotting Tool
  • Pointed Brush
  • Fine Tip Nail Art Pen in White
  • Fine Tip Nail Art Pen in Black

Sephora Mini Crystal Nail File

Sephora Crystal Nail File in Pink on southeastbymidwest.com #birthdayhaul #sephorahaul #sephora

Purchase: In Store or Bigger Version Online

Price: Mini – $8 Large – $10

Information:

I had just gotten a BUNCH of fingernail polishes and the hubs thought it would be a great idea if I got a few things that could be used with said fingernail polish. The bottle from above will contain fingernail polish remover, the kit above will be used for nail art, and I’ve always wanted a crystal nail file. I was going to get the large crystal nail file because lets face it it’s the better deal but they didn’t have any in stock and weren’t going to get any for awhile. The mini still has the case though!

I don’t have a picture of this at the moment but the cashier at Sephora was a lot nicer when I asked her about the birthday gift. I will be putting a review of this up on the blog as well in the near future.

      I actually didn’t know about it until I saw them unpack it in the store. I hadn’t seen any pressers from Revlon or Spiderman about it. They really should have advertised it better because all of the colors are just gorgeous from what I’ve seen online.

    Sounds like a good birthday! I also spoiled myself a little at Sephora for my birthday, haha. I got the same birthday gift (obviously, haha) and a blush/bronzer palette which I’m loving, and St Tropez self tanner. I love everything! Let me know how the Tarte mascara is because I’ve also heard good things!
