... Read moreShopping at Sephora and Ulta can be a wonderful experience for beauty enthusiasts like me, especially when trying out new products that promise to enhance your makeup and skincare routine. From personal experience, I’ve found that the Tower 28 Serum Concealer is a versatile product worth testing if you’re curious about buildability and coverage without creasing—a common concern for many. It works beautifully for natural coverage and sets well for all-day wear.
Fenty Beauty's Blurring Skin Tint is a game-changer if you prefer a lightweight base. I usually avoid heavy foundations, so this tint was a pleasant surprise with its ability to even out skin tone while letting my natural skin breathe. It’s great for daily wear, giving a soft-focus effect that helps blur imperfections subtly.
Rare Beauty’s Brow Harmony Flexible Lifting Gel and Soft Pinch Dewy Liquid Blush add the perfect touch of polish without feeling heavy. I love how the brow gel lifts and holds without flaking, and the blush leaves a natural, dewy flush that lasts hours.
Kosas Translucent Candy Ultra Sheer Pink and Summer Fridays Flushed Lip Stain are playful product options that brighten your look effortlessly. Kosas’s tint is sheer with a lovely pink tint, suitable for anyone wanting a fresh face vibe, while the lip stain has a delightful texture and lasting power.
Switching over to Ulta, Amika’s Dry Shampoo is my go-to pick. It refreshes hair without residue and has a clean scent—not overpowering but fresh. Snif’s Hot Cakes fragrance is absolutely delicious and uplifting, a lovely treat if you love gourmand scents.
My skincare staples picked up from Ulta include the Kitsch Kojic Acid Face & Body Bar, which I use to target dark spots and pigmentation effectively. Truly Cooka Ingrown Concentrate is a practical product to help with ingrown hairs after waxing or shaving—something often overlooked but essential.
Lastly, Touchland’s Pumpkintini hand sanitizer is both functional and festive, with a lovely scent that makes sanitizing less of a chore. Overall, combining these products from Sephora and Ulta offers a balanced mix of makeup and skincare essentials that suit various beauty needs and preferences. Trying out samples and doing patch tests are always good steps before committing to full-sized products, as personal skin and scent preferences vary widely.
