Ulta Run.

Shopping at Ulta Beauty is always exciting, especially when trying new skincare brands like The Inkey List and Saltair that have been trending for their effective ingredients and affordable prices. I personally found the Hydro-Surge Dewy Face Mist from The Inkey List to be a refreshing pick-me-up during the day. It boosts hydration and gives a natural glow, which is perfect for daytime use or layering under makeup. The Caffeine Eye Cream caught my attention for its promise to reduce tired eye signs. After incorporating it into my routine for a couple of weeks, I noticed a subtle improvement in puffiness and dark circles, which is a great bonus for anyone struggling with those common concerns. Saltair’s Coral Coast Body Oil and Body Butter truly live up to the hype. Their scent is amazing — a soothing, beachy vibe that makes skincare feel like a mini spa moment. The body oil absorbs nicely, leaving skin nourished without any sticky residue, while the multi-lipid body butter provides rich hydration, which is essential during colder months or if you have dry skin. Byoma’s Phyto-Mucin Glow Serum promises to enhance skin’s radiance, thanks to natural extracts that support moisture and texture. It felt lightweight yet moisturizing, a good middle ground if you’re not into heavy creams but want that glow boost. Lastly, The Ordinary’s Glycolic Acid 7% Exfoliating Toner is a staple for improving skin texture and brightness. Using it a few times a week helped refine my pores and gave my skin a smoother feel. Remember to apply sunscreen daily when using AHAs like glycolic acid, as your skin will be more sensitive to the sun. If you enjoy exploring new skincare products, Ulta’s mix of cult favorites and emerging brands is a great place to find unique items that can fit your routine. I recommend first patch testing new products to ensure they suit your skin type, and gradually introducing actives like glycolic acid to avoid irritation.
