Ulta Haul

I go on makeup kicks every now and again. I’ll get stuck in a rut, and then try something new and want all kinds of new makeup. I’ve made a few trips to Ulta recently, and wanted to share with you what I’ve been buying!

I almost always buy things on sale at Ulta during their 21 days of beauty!

The first thing I bought was a total impulse purchase. I went to the Philosophy section of the store and stopped and smelled their fragrance Fresh Cream Warm Cashmere. Oh my gosh, it smells divine! I don’t even know how to describe it to you. It’s vanilla with warm musk, but still fresh and clean smelling. It is perfect for all seasons. I only bought a small size, but I will be buying the full size!

The next thing I bought was the Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Definer. I needed something that is a little bit longer lasting, and this fit the bill. I probably won’t use this every day, but only on days where I need them to last longer than the average workday.

I also bought three lip products. Listen, I need new lip products like I need a hole in the head, but they are my drug of choice. I bought a Buxom Metalix lipstick. It is a plum shade with little glitter mixed in. You can’t feel the glitter on your lips, but it adds a nice sheen to the lipstick. The next lip product I bought was a Bare Minerals lip trio. I bought the Go Bold or Go Bare set. These matte liquid lipsticks are beautiful. They feel like nothing on your lips, and come in a beautiful nude shade, a dark pink, or classic red. I also bought a Lorac lip stain, that was significantly on sale. I will be doing reviews on these makeup products in the near future.

I also stocked up on one of my favorite high end mascaras. Tarte’s Lights Camera Lashes, is my favorite high end mascara. I have never been disappointed in this, and gives me full lashes and it lasts all day without flaking off on my cheeks.

I tried out Mally’s Eyeshadow stick, and so far I really like it! When I was swatching these colors and I went to take them off and they wouldn’t come off!! I figured if they stayed on my hand, then they would stay on my eyelids. So far, I’ve only worn it one time, but it definitely lasted!

I also bought a new teasing brush. I enjoy a little volume in my hair, and while my regular comb was doing the job, it just needed a little more. The beauty of this brush is that it is a boar bristle, and will grab my hair better. I can’t wait to use this along with my comb and get that volume that I long for!

Everything that I bought with the exception of the perfume was on sale. Score! You should check out Ulta for their 21 days of beauty, and their clearance items! You might walk out with some great deals! I believe the next event is usually in February.

All of these products will be reviewed either in an individual post, or as a group post. I want to use them a little bit more to get my opinions on them and then I'll share them with you!

Cooking for a Crowd: Spaghetti Sauce

My family likes to save money when we have parties. One way to do so is to cook everything ourselves, instead of hiring a caterer. Today, I wanted to give you a recipe for spaghetti sauce that will feed a crowd. This recipe is best made in an 18 quart roast pan. We bought most of our sauces and tomato paste at Costco. Ingredients: 2 onions 3 cans diced tomatoes 2 #10 cans of tomato sauce 1 #10 can on spaghetti sauce 1 heaping tsp of garlic minced 2 (28 oz) cans of crushed tomatoes 4 (6 oz) cans of tomato paste 1 tsp sugar Onion and garlic salt, italian seasoning, parsley, oregano to taste 1 pound of each: ground meat, hot and sweet sausage Look at the deliciousness!  In a skillet brown your meat and sausage in a little oil. Once browned place off to the side. Combine your onions, garlic, diced tomatoes, and crushed tomatoes. *Sweat your onions down first, then add the garlic. Then your tomatoes.* Open your tomato sauces and spaghetti sauces (w...

High Five for Friday

I've done it again. #badblogger I can't wait until school is out and I have free time to write, photograph, and post my blogs! As usual, I am linking up with Lauren ! Here are my thoughts about the week! 1. It's Friday, and for that I am very grateful! 2. I am getting my hair cut tomorrow! I'm keeping my length, but I might add a few extra layers to give me more volume! I can't wait! My hair has been especially knotty when I get out of the shower. 3. I ordered new contacts and glasses from Wal-Mart Vision Center. I've had really good luck with them! 4. Did any of you catch the premier of The Night Shift on Tuesday? I think this will be a good replacement for me until Chicago Fire comes back on! 5. I am very much looking forward to sleeping in! What did you love about the week? Leave me a comment and let me know! I'd love to hear from you!
