Springtime is ALMOST HERE!!! Time to prepare with a ULTA HAUL!

Can you believe March is on it's way to being over and spring is almost HERE?!?!

The weather will be warming up (at least in Houston) very soon and it's time to start pulling out the pretty pastel and bright color dresses and putting away the boots and chunky sweaters!

But don't forget that with the change in season it also gives you a great reason to shop for some new makeup and skin care to help you ring in the coming months and keep you looking youthful and fresh.

I stopped by Ulta a few days ago to see what I could find for spring and came across some good stuff! Let me know in the comments section below if you would like a review on any of these!!!

Ooooh!!!...The mystique....

******************************

 Essie in Romper Room ($8 - $2 coupon =$6.00!)
* This color is so soft and pretty for spring! Can't wait to wear it!


Maybelline Color Tattoo 24Hr Eyeshadow in Nude Compliment ($6.99)
* This is part of Maybelline's new spring collection centered around the "nude" theme. Such a pretty neutral bronze-taupe to throw on by itself or layered with your other shadows for an effortless no-makeup look!

 Maybelline Color Tattoo 24Hr Eyeshadow in Caramel Cool ($6.99)
* Also part of the new spring collection. This copper-y color would be good to achieve a warm rose gold-ish look that is so on trend! 

Bare Minerals Marvelous Moxie in Hot Shot ($18)
* This lip gloss is so pretty and goes on sheer, so it gives your lips a nice wash of color, which helps keep a light and bright spring look easy and feminine.

 ...Don't let the color on the box scare you away!!! The color of the gloss won't be that intense although it's still a pretty color I would it wear for the season!

 Swatches: (Top to Bottom) Bare Minerals Marvelous Moxie in Hot Shot, Maybelline Color Tattoo in Caramel Cool, and Maybelline Color Tattoo in Nude Compliment

Nivea A Kiss of Olive Oil & Lemon Lip Balm ($2.99)
* So smooth and moisturizing with a clean but spa-like scent.

Jack Black Intense Therapy Lip Balm in Grapefruit & Ginger (GUY FRIENDLY!!!) ($7.99)
* This brand is actually a men's line, but they make really great lip balms in some very appetizing flavors! I'm excited to try (and get my husband to try) this! It's important to keep those lips soft and kissable...Muah!



BareMinerals READY Foundation SPF 20 in Golden Tan ($29)
* Powder foundations are great for warmer weather, especially if you have oily skin. They are quick, easy, and effortless.

Benefit Bigger Than BB Big Easy Skin Perfector in Medium ($38)
* This was $38!!! We'll see how this liquid to powder skin base compares to my other matte liquid foundations, which are also great for warmer weather and oily/combo skin types.


Tree Hut Shea Sugar Body Scrub in Coconut Lime ($7.50)
* I love the Tropical Mango scent and this one doesn't disappoint either! Can't wait to use this to exfoliate so I can refresh the skin from the winter and be spring dress ready!



P.S. Found a couple more finds that I MUST share!!!
BareMinerals Marvelous Moxie Lipgloss in Rebel ($18)
* Nude, "your lips but better" color. Great with everything and perfect to carry in your purse to polish and touch up! I've been wearing this everyday!

Too Faced Bonjour Soleil Bronzer Palette ($44)
* This is featured in this week's Ulta catalog, and it's a steal!!! These 3 are a few of my favorite bronzers and they are packed into one palette with a soft, fluffy brush. Perfect for travel, perfect for creating a custom bronzed look! A MUST HAVE!!!

Also, don't forget the Ulta just started their "21 Days of Beauty" on Sunday and will have a different event and promotion each day for the next 2 weeks! So, check out their ads (www.ulta.com) for the beauty steal of the day, beauty events with the vendors, and new releases for spring!!! 

I hope you Beauties enjoyed this REALLY QUICK Ulta haul! There is definitely more to come (Of course!!!). Let me know what products you are excited to use or try this spring in the comments below!!!
