Hello blog friends.
I'm sharing some summer products I bought online at Ulta Beauty.
I enjoyed shopping online recently at the Ulta Beauty store during Covid-19. I couldn't go into any stores to shop for beauty products and shopping online is so easy if you know what you want to buy. I was happy I had a $15 gift card to use and free shipping if you spend $35. I'd love to share with you what I purchased at Ulta Beauty.
1. St. Tropez Gradual Tan Classic Everyday Body Lotion
I saw this self-tanning lotion recommended by blogger Preppy Empty Nester who loves this lotion. I ordered this in the Light/Medium color. I like this tanning lotion and it doesn't have a bad odor when applied to the skin. I also ordered a mitt to apply the lotion. This lotion also comes in Medium/Dark color which I might try next time.

2. St. Tropez Dual Sided Velvet Luxe Applicator Mitt
I ordered this mitt to go with the self-tanning lotion. I'm glad I ordered this mitt and it made applying the lotion easy with no staining on my hands or body.
 |
3. Sally Hansen Vitamin E Nail & Cuticle Oil
I ordered this cuticle oil because my cuticles get dried out. This oil helps to keep my cuticles soft and moisturized.
 |
4. Maybelline Volum' Express Colossal Mascara
I like the way this mascara works and I ordered another tube. You might remember me explaining about this mascara back in April here.
 |
5. Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Dark Circle Treatment Concealer
I have been using this concealer for my under eye area for years as read in my last post here. I love the way this concealer works and it covers my dark circles and other spots on my face. It doesn't cake up and leaves my under eye area feeling dried out.

Hello friends. It's been a while since I've done one of my makeup posts or shared about it in my Friday Favorites. I'm excited to share with you the makeup I received from Christmas.
 |
1. Tartlette in Bloom - Eyeshadow Palette by Tarte
I was gifted this eye palette from my daughter. I love that this eyeshadow palette has 12 brightening matte and shimmer shades. The colors are soft and perfect for light eye makeup for day wear. I enjoy mixing and matching the different colors and I know I'll get a lot of use out of this palette.
2. Nude Obsessions Eyeshadow Palette Light - Huda Beauty
I was gifted for Christmas this eyeshadow palette from my SIL. I have never had or used any beauty products by Huda Beauty and I love the pretty colors in this eyeshadow palette. The colors are light peach, pinks, and mauve in matte and shimmer colors. This is perfect for wearing in the day and evening. I am having so much fun playing with these eyeshadows.
3. Mac Bold & Bad Lash Mascara
This mascara was also gifted to me for Christmas from my SIL. I have never tried this mascara from Mac and I was pleasantly surprised at how nice this mascara works. There is a wand to use for the upper lashes and a small wand to use for the lower lashes. This mascara works good and it makes your lashes look light and natural. There is no clumping and it left no flaking. I have been using this mascara every day and I'm loving it.

4. Makeup Bag
I did some ordering of makeup for Christmas on the website for Ulta. They had a special that if you spent a certain amount of money with your order you receive a free makeup bag. I was able to spend the amount of money and inside the bag contains makeup and beauty samples. I like the makeup bag and I'm having fun trying out the samples. My only complaint with Ulta is that I did buy some products that said you would receive another gift with a purchase. I didn't receive that item in the mail. I called up customer service and explained everything and they said that I was supposed to click on the box to receive the items. Well, I did that but to make good on it they sent to me a gift card to use at Ulta. I was glad I called customer service to explain the situation and it all worked out.
5. Lancome - 3 Piece - La Vie Est Belle Moments Gift Set
I asked my husband and daughter for this perfume for Christmas. They gave me this three-piece set that I love and the perfume smells so good. It has a slight smell that isn't overpowering and perfect for day and evening wear.

Hello friends. I thought that I would do a fun makeup post since I haven't done one in a while.
In the beginning of the year I love sorting through and organizing my makeup. I throw out what is old, or what I have not used in a while.
After sorting through my makeup, I realized that I needed new mascara, eyeshadow primer, and dry shampoo. I bought a new cover stick (concealer), and an eyebrow shaping set.
Here are the items I bought:

After sorting through my makeup, I realized that I needed new mascara, eyeshadow primer, and dry shampoo. I bought a new cover stick (concealer), and an eyebrow shaping set.
Here are the items I bought:
1) L'Oreal Volumnous Mascara - This is a new mascara that I tried and I love it. My lashes came out looking long and there is no flaking or clumping. I like using black mascara and I sometimes use brown/black.
2) Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion - I never used eyeshadow primer util my daughter recommended it to me after she told me numerous times that my eyeliner was worn off and smudged in spots. When I use this eyeshadow primer, my eyeliner stays on all day with no smudges. I also like that my eyeshadow stays on all day as well. I would defiantly recommend this product.
3) NYC Cover Stick - I absolutely love this cover stick and I use this for under my eyes and around the top of my eye area. I also apply this over my lips when I wear lipstick. Doing that usually makes my lipstick stay on and last longer. I also use a lip liner too.
4) Not Your Mothers Clean Freak Refreshing Dry Shampoo, Unscented - I love this dry shampoo and it's one of my favorites. To read my post on dry shampoo, you can click HERE.
5) EcoTools Brow Shaping Set - I like how the eyebrow brush works and I use it to brush my eyebrow hairs to stand up straight. I like using the other brush to apply eye shadow, but this could also be used to apply color to your eyebrows.
I bought all of these beauty products at ULTA Beauty. It was my first time visiting this store, and I really liked it. ULTA Beauty has everything you need for all of your beauty essentials, at great prices.
When was the last time you went through and sorted out your makeup?
Thanks for stopping by and hope you enjoy the end of the week and weekend. Jess and I will see you all back here on Monday for our Cooking and Crafting with J & J Link Up!

Hello blogging friends, I hope you all had a great 4th of July! I had a fun time celebrating at a family get together! :)
As some of you know I love makeup, and today I'd love to share with you some of my favorite summer makeup!
1) I love wearing bright pastel nail polish when summertime arrives. Lately I have been wearing different shades of light blue on my nails. I also like to wear white and a very light pink nail polish color. I also find it very relaxing painting my own nails and giving myself a manicure. Do you like painting your own nails? I wish I could do the same with my toenails, but I always get a pedicure at the salon about every two weeks. I also enjoy wearing bright pinks and coral colors for my toenails. The nail polish I'm wearing is by Essie and the color is Mint Candy Apple.
Do you have a favorite color you like wearing on your nails and feet?
2) I happen to be very fair skinned, so I decided to try out this product, Jergens Natural Glow when I saw a blog post done by my blogging friend, Ginnie from Hello Little Home. You can click HERE and read about this sunless tanning lotion post from Ginnie. I also saw a post done by blogging buddy AnnMarie from Musings of a Vintage Junkie and you can read her post HERE.
Well, I was so happy when I read these posts, that I went out and bought this sunless tanning product. It's been many years since I last used this sunless tanning lotion. It really worked great, and it gave my legs, arms, and even my face a nice even tan. What I liked most about this product, was that there wasn't any streaking and the smell of the lotion wasn't so bad. The price for this varies at different drug stores but ranges about $8 to $10.00. I hope you will give this product a try.
Thanks ladies for the recommendation!
3) I received this Make Up For Ever mascara sample from Sephora, since I had some points to use up. This mascara happens to be one of my favorites right now. It goes on nice without any clumps and makes my lashes look long. It's also easy to remove with makeup towelettes or any makeup remover you like to use. The next time I need mascara I will be purchasing this and it's about $24 at Sephora.
4) This Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer is such a wonderful makeup product, but a really expensive one at $44 a tube. I was given a gift certificate to Bloomingdales for Christmas, and I decided to give this tinted moisturizer a try. I received a sample of this from Sephora and I loved it. I have also seen this all over Pinterest and it's a very popular tinted moisturizer. It had many great reviews and I can see why. I really love the way this goes on your face with a blending sponge and the color I used is Nude to go with my skin coloring. It's also lightweight and has an SPF 20 sunscreen.
I really liked this product, but I don't think I will be buying this again as it's so expensive! There are many other BB creams and tinted moisturizers out there that work well and do not cost so much.
5) This Creme Smooth Lip Colour in the color Lychee Parfait is by Laura Mercier and a beautiful lipstick. I picked out this lipstick also from Bloomingdales along with the tinted moisturizer. This lipstick goes on smooth and it's a long wearing formula that lasts for 6 to 8 hours. This lipstick is also a splurge product that costs $28.00 a tube. It looks really nice with a lip liner in a similar color to match the lipstick.

Hi friends, I have another makeup post to share with you today. I recently went shopping at the MAC makeup store and treated myself to some makeup. I really love wearing lipstick, so I purchased a lip pencil and lipstick that I would love to share with you.
The lip pencil is MAC Pro Longwear Lip Pencil in the color - In Anticipation. This is a lip pencil in a light pink shade, it goes on smoothly and has 8-hour wear, a rich color and transfer-proof. The price is $20. I chose this light pink lip liner because I thought that it would go with a lot of my lipsticks that I already have. It goes on smoothly and even looks pretty without wearing lipstick.
The lipstick is MAC Cremesheen Lipstick in the color - Party Line. This is a dark rose color, it comes in 10 shades, and has a creamy texture. The price is $17. I love this color lipstick for fall and winter because it's a darker shade and it really lasts a long time on my lips without coming off.
The link to MAC cosmetics is Here. You can order this online if you can not get to the store to buy it.
I like the lip pencil and lipstick paired together and they both lasted a long time without coming off and there was no bleeding from the outside of my lips. I would recommend these if you feel like splurging a little on makeup.
Do you have any favorite lipstick that you like? I would love to know!
I hope I have inspired you to go shopping this weekend and buy a new lipstick. Wishing you all a lovely weekend.

Welcome to Makeup Monday on Julie's Lifestyle. I will post about a certain type of makeup, nail polish, face or hair product etc. It will be a fun place to come visit about anything to do with beauty.
Week 31 - Sephora Lip Pencil and Lip Liner
Week 31 - Sephora Lip Pencil and Lip Liner
Hello friends, I know it's been a while since I've done a Makeup Monday post. I have decided going forward that I will do these posts twice a month since I love makeup.
I would love to show you some makeup I purchased before the holidays at Sephora. I bought Sephora Glossy Lip Pencil in Pale Pink and it cost $10. Click HERE to see the link for this lip pencil. This lip pencil gives your lips a light color and feels like lip gloss. This lip pencil reminds me of the chub stick from Clinique. I like wearing this during the daytime when going out.
This is a retractable Sephora Lip Liner I picked out to go with the lip pencil. It's a nude color and waterproof that goes with any lipstick. The cost of this lip liner is $13 and click HERE to see the link.
I hope I gave you some fun ideas for the next time you are shopping in Sephora.
Thanks so much for stopping by and see you all next time at Makeup Monday.

Hi friends, I hope you all had a nice weekend. I had to find out about all the hype on e.l.f. cosmetics, and by the way e.l.f. stands for eyes lips face! I had been seeing so much on Pinterest and on beauty blogs about their cosmetics and never tried them before. I decided to go to Target recently to buy some things that my family and I needed and discovered that Target sells their line of makeup.
I decided to buy just one item since I have never used any of their makeup before. I bought their blush and I love the color I bought - it is called tickled pink. It looks good on my skin and goes good with my blonde hair. The blush is a light subtle color and it gives a soft and natural look.
WEEK 28 - e.l.f. Blush

I'm very happy with this blush and I would recommend it to you and you can't beat the price at $3.00. The size and the packaging reminds me of the blush I just bought recently from NARS and I paid $30 for it! To see that blog post in case you missed it, you can click HERE.
Here is the description on the back of the box for the blush: The soft sheer texture blends into the skin for a silky finish. Designed to be worn alone or layered for more depth. Highlight your complexion with a subtle healthy glow.
Have you tried any e.l.f. cosmetics? I hope I was helpful and maybe inspired you to try their makeup!

Week 5
Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain
Hi friends and welcome to Week 5 of my Makeup Monday series. Today we are talking about lip stains. For Christmas my daughter gave me this balm stain and I really like it. The only problem was that that it was too dark for me (the one on the right) but I gave that to her (lucky daughter). I bought for myself the pink one on the left. It glides on nice and it stayed on throughout the day and it did not dry out my lips. This is a great product if you are busy and on the run like myself and so I would suggest this lip balm. You can find this in any drugstore for about $5.99 depending on where you shop.
Have you tried this lip balm stain yet? I hope I have inspired you to try it out.
