They were also having a BOGO free on the Ulta line of 3-1 bath gels. They normally cost $14.99. I needed to buy body wash since I had run out and had to use a nasty bar soap for emergency. I bought the Buttercream Cupcake scent. it smells just like the Philosophy Vanilla Birthday Cake but is much cheaper after sales and coupons.

THEN, right after that sale, Ulta had another sale where the TIGI bedhead 750 ml shampoos and conditioners (they call them “tween” ) were $9.99 each! THESE ARE STILL ON SALE SO GET TO IT YA’LL! They do this promo like… oh two, three, four times a year? I want to say two, but don’t quote me on that. I haven’t been keeping track of the time these days. Normally they cost about $23-$26! I still have bottles stored from when I stocked up on A TON from Ulta two years ago, but I bought more! I bought them on Tuesday and got them for about $8 each! The first Tuesday of every month, college students get a 20% discount on EVERYTHING in the store off the total purchase. I buy only conditioners because I have to use medicated shampoo for my psoriasis. Plus the conditioners are normally $23ish while the shampoos are $18ish so the savings are greater with conditioners. I normally use the Catwalk for colour treated hair (smells like blueberries or something like that) and Moisture Maniac (smells like Mandarin oranges!). This time I tried buying the Brunette one. I don’t see it doing anything for my hair but my goodness, it smells so good! Like a musky caramel scent. I also bought the Oatmeal and Honey. I hated it when I bought it a long time ago, but I like the smell now because of special reasons

PS. I would stay far away from the TIGI Control Freak conditioner (lime green bottle). That one is just plain weird. It suds up like a shampoo and tangled my hair. I actually thought that I accidentally used shampoo instead of conditioner! Also the TIGI Superstar (pink bottle) smells like Pepto Bismol after you store it for a while.

AAAAND here’s a coupon for $3.50 off $10 (it’ll work for 9.99 too) good until July 25 09. It says one time use only but that’s a bunch of BS. And here’s a 20% off coupon too good until July 18 09. Obviously you can only use one coupon per purchase. Here’s a tip for you guys: Every time you plan on going to Ulta, Google “Ulta coupon” or “Ulta printable coupon” and you’ll get hits for Ulta’s current coupons. That’s what I always do!

New products from Urban Decay! They never really seize to allure me with their great products. I’m really looking forward to the pore perfecting primer, lip primer potion, and Frigid deluxe shadow!!! The primer is supposed to have a twist top like Elmer’s white glue and that intrigues me. We’ll see how practical that is though ha. The lip primer has an SPF of 15 and it doesn’t have octinoxate, an ingredient I’m intolerant to. YES! THANK YOU URBAN DECAY! Ruthless deluxe shadow looks like a non-glittery version of Maui Wowie eyeshadow to me looking at the online photo. Frigid is just screaming for me. A rich deep purple with a blue sheen? That’s galactic! (I can’t believe I don’t have a drooling emoticon. I’d totally be using it right now!)

The Ink for Eyes are gel liners. Cute packaging but I’ll pass on these since we’ve all seen gel liners before.

These are currently on sale on their website. I wish they were having a promo right now, I would hit the checkout button with no hesitation! I’m assuming we’ll have to wait until fall to see these in stores. I’m going to wait until Urban Decay has a promo code, or when Ulta carries these so I can get my 20% off student discount
