Friday things: Ulta things.

 

I went a little nuts in Ulta the other day. I was mostly in awe of the fact that I was in a store looking at actual products; I don't go to stores. We don't have them where I live. The nearest Ulta/Sephora/whatever is like 90 minutes away. 

While I generally like to stay more toxin-free with skincare and makeup, there were a few things I needed:

1. I forgot my eyeshadow brush altogether on this trip home and these brushes were $4.

2. I love La-Roche Posay and I can only buy it online where I live...the Walmart we used to go to in Kansas actually had it in store, but then I had to start ordering from Amazon. I needed a new/more moisturizer so I'm trying this one. 

3. I'm always looking for something to get rid of tired eyes so I grabbed this on a whim. We'll see. I like it so far. Anything is better than nothing when your alarm goes off at 5am.

4. I haven't found a new (good) hair styling cream in years so I thought I'd try Bumble and Bumble. I actually might splurge on shampoo and conditioner. If you can't do it for birthday #39, when can you?

5. And I spent forever looking at the MAC lipsticks only to grab this hybrid between a stain and a balm. I buy a lipstick like every 18 months so SpLuRgE I guess. 

Scott and I don't do stockings for each other...we basically just buy our own gifts and, with traveling, I don't haul them around.  I do wrap everything and we just open pre or post holidays. This was my $100 "stocking", I guess. 

Did you do stockings this week? I mean, for adults. I know it's the best part of Christmas but we have let the tradition lapse. Our kids have two stockings (I know) but our dogs actually like opening gifts so, while they have stockings, I don't fill them. I just wrap toys and treats up.
