Okay i swear if I type or say ULTA one more time I'll go nuts - so I imagine you are equally sick of hearing it. I'll try to wrap this up here and now. :)

I got to go to the store and was in heaven. I spent HOURS in there. I ended up buying a lot of goodies, as well as getting my wax and playing with A LOT of makeup. The girls there were super friendly, letting me snap pictures, and helping me hunt high and low for a particular eyeshadow color that i wanted.
If you are fortunate enough to have one of these stores near you, please tell me you visit it often. It's a girly wonderland and I just hope and pray one comes to my area soon.
Now the bad news. The first morning we were here, i woke up feeling a bit feverish and had a very sore throat. I eventually felt well enough to go on my shopping trip. I had HOPED to go back today to see the Benefit Brow Bar event, and take the Bare Mineral class on how to master the new Masterpiece collection. But last night i was a wreck with fever and chills, and when i got up this morning, i felt like someone had beaten me with a baseball bat. So i'm not going anywhere today. I've been chilaxin in the hotel room, and am about ready for a nap. At least i got to have fun playing yesterday, and i wasn't extremely over the moon about the Masterpiece kit when i saw it in person.
So here's some funny little videos of me and my Ulta Adventure. I took them with my little Kodak, so i sound really weird in them - especially when i say "S" sounds. Just ignore that. :) (as of the time i'm typing this, one is still uploading to youtube - so you may have to check back to see the goodies i bought...)

that is a very seriously girlie shop! I am laughiung as I type just thinking about CK's shiver of horror if I suggested it....
Oh I LOVE "girly" days....I don't get to have them very often anymore with my schedule but it looks like you had a GREAT time on yours!
That looks like a little piece of heaven, how much fun could you have in there?!
Happy SITS day!
I've never heard of Ulta! Looks like a place a girl could get lost in.
My mom is a cosmetologist and works for Ulta in one of their Pittsburgh locations and Ive done events there for Urban Decay (Im a make-up artist) and that place gets insane! I'm itching to know what you think of the primer after a couple uses, please let me know! Their shadows are fantastic, I love Midnight Cowboy and Cowgirl. You probably would too, it has the prettiest shimmer.
And be ever so careful playing in the make-up left out, for ppl stick their fingers in them constantly.
We have an Ulta here, as well as a Sephora, but Ulta is a little more in our price range. My fourteen year old daughter loves it there - she's move in there if I'd let her.
We recently had an Ulta open up in our area and my daughter dragged me in there. SHE LOVES THE PLACE! She says it's the Disney of make-up stores. Happy SITS day!
great store, wish I had one nearby.
You are such a girly girl! Loved the video of you driving up to Ulta! We just got an Ulta close by recently and I love it!!
Chilaxin is a new word to me and I love the way it sounds! (Although typed it looks like a drug that will someday be recalled with serious side effects.)
Oh, I miss Ulta! In AZ, there were like 3 within 15 minutes of my house!
There is an Ulta store in our area now but I haven't gone in it. It looks like a shop that I need to keep my expensive makeup-loving daughters out of! LOL
Happy SITS Day!
So you are one of those video-taping, blogging while driving girls, huh?
Funny
I dont have one of them stores....sniff sniff,....it looks like so much fun!!
Im going to try and find me some primer potion now...sounds like a winner, and now I want it!!
Sweet store...nope ..we dont' have one of those either.
Since I don't know that much about makeup all I can say is WOW!
Funny! My faves are Sephora and Beauty Brands. :)
I have never even heard of this store, but it looks fabulous!! I'm in the process right now of visiting their website... Happy SITS day!
Don't think we have an ULTA here, but I soooo need to get new makeup!
we dont have one of those near me (that is probably a good thing) but we DO have Sephora...which gets me in TROUBLE!
My town sucks...no ULTA here.
I adore ULTA, and my husband hates it when I go there - I live near one and spend hours in it each time I go. He limits the number of trips, just so I can see the light of day on shopping days!
No Ulta here either...although I am sure I could make a drive to NYC....
That is one cool store. We have a Sephora, but I don't think we have an Ulta. I love that little box, with the baby twizzers
Ulta, drool...
I've never even heard of it.....
We have an Ulta nearby and I must admit, I don't go overy often because I feel so overwhelmed! Maybe after getting some tips from you, it'll get easier =)
it's so overwhelming for me at that store...too many colors and choices! i just need someone to tell me what to do! HA!
happy sits day!
I am going to be near an Ulta today - I am going to go check it out!!
Going to Ulta TONIGHT!
I have instructed my eldest child to inform her father than any and all Christmas gifts from Sephora and/or Ulta would be appreciated. Highly. Amen.
I am one of those women blessed to live within a few miles of an Ulta store. My daughters and I visit it often.
We have Sephora, no Ulta....that I know of, anyway...
Wow, Im a little scared of that store!
Wow. That looks like a little too much fun. A grown up candy store!
Aww bummer- I don't have any stores like this nearby! Must find one!!
I have one near by, but since my money isn't stretching far I don't even walk by it because I'll be so tempted to buy EVERYTHING! One day I'll get in there, one day! Sorry to hear you were so sick!
Just popping over from your feature on SITS today (:
♥Mannie
We don't have one where I love. I've never even heard of it. But we do have a Sephora!
Did someone say Bare Minerals?
That is my version of the Mother Ship. I own EVERYTHING Leslie Blodgett (owner of BM, and my BFF, she just doesn't know it yet)has ever made... been wearing it for 7 years now.
I went to NYC and spent 3 hours in their store and left with the store.
I so know how you feel...
Happy Sits Day!
Happy SITS day!
I love Ulta. I love bare minerals {more importantly bare minerals loves me}.
So glad you were the FB today, had such fun.
Wow, that's an amazing shop. I've never seen anything like it. (I live in the sticks, can you tell?) I'm in awe.
OMG! We just got an Ulta in my city last week! I love how it's a cross between Sephora and Wal-Mart...high-end and low-end, all in one place. Too cool! :)
Okay so if we had one of those in my town it would be bad. I might spend all of my monies there!!
I've only been to Ulta once when I lived Oklahoma. we don't have one where I live now... :(
Coming to your blog has made me want to go on a makeup buying rampage though! I'm sure my hubby will thank you for that! HA
Looks like you had a great time!!
I dont get "girly days" too often with the kids..
That looks fun :-) I'd like to check it out too...woo hoo! Love girly time!
We have NO Ulta in Hawaii, NO Target either..GASP!! We do have a Sephora and a LUSH though.
Heading for the "google" button to see where the nearest location is...
Ulta is one of my all-time favorite places to shop!
Makeup heaven! I dont think we have Ulta in charlotte but it's something all of us women will love going to! :)
It's like paradise!
We have one and I have never been! I am a Clinique gal myself, but maybe I need to check it out!
I love shopping, but I haven't gone in ages (except for Christmas shopping). Looks like a fun store!
There was one right by my house in vegas and I never went! I haven't seen any in LA. hmm
I have never been in ULTA shop before but I'm not a makeup expert like you. It would totally overwhelm me.
Oh... I love me some Ulta! Such a fun store, and definitely where I go to get my goodies (and ironically, possibly where I discovered the eye thing you talked about in one of the previous featured posts). I need to go back soon, as I have several essentials that I'm out of!
Ok girl you are OBSESSED! But at least it isn't over the Twilight movie or books. Nice to see someone obsessive over something different.
I used to obsessed over Lacome but decided that my kids needed food more than I need makeup!! lol Well, I still buy their eye shadows because it is the only stuff that will stay on my greasy eyelids!
WOW That's a lot of differet colors! Great variety!!!
Peeking in from SITS
happy sits day
you US gals have the best shops! so jealous
oooohhhh and aaaaahhhhh **mesmerriszed by the pretty colors** lol
i can't go in places like that without spending money i can't afford to spend
I LOVE Ulta! They have everything. Plus if you join, they send you really good coupons. Love the manicure - I love french manicures with a twist!
