Shopping Diaries: Ulta Haul (+ Why You Should Shop the Beauty Aisle at Your Grocery Store)

I’ve been doing a bit of shopping lately. Nothing major, but enough for a post. First of all, I picked up some beauty items during my weekly grocery trip for insanely cheap. My local grocery store is Harris Teeter. They were having a super double coupon week (meaning they double coupons up to $2). The second part of my haul is from Ulta (plus one item from Sephora).

For all my recent purchases check below the jump!

Original Price: $5.99 – $2 e-VIC coupon – $2 manufacturer coupon doubled = $1.99

The first thing I picked up at Harris Teeter was the Simple Cleansing Facial Wipes. I love these. I picked up my first pack in April and have gone through several of them.

Original Price: $9.99 – $2 e-VIC coupon – $4 manufacturers coupon doubled = $3.99

I am in a constant battle to not be a blond! My natural hair color is medium blond but I much prefer the way I look as a brunette. This is a new hair dye that I had not previously tried.

Original Price: $1.99 – $2 manufacturers coupon doubled = FREE!

If this product wasn’t free I probably wouldn’t have picked it up, but who can resist a free nail polish? I know I can’t!

Original Price: $6.99 – $3 manufacturers coupon doubled = $3.99

Neutrogena’s Oil-Free Acne Wash is my favorite morning face wash.

The retail price of my little grocery store haul was $24.96. I paid only $9.97!

Anyway, onto the more interesting stuff! I stopped by Ulta today. I FINALLY found Benefit Erase Paste in my color. Sephora and the Benefit counter at my local mall were out! I also picked up 2 OPI polishes from Ulta’s Summer Exclusive polishes. The purplish pink polish is Passport and a Smile, the coral red color is Meet Me at the Bonfire.

A note regarding Ulta’s OPI Summer Exclusives: they are literally dupes of many previous OPI collections repackaged. For more info click here!

The last of the beauty items I picked up recently is Make Up For Ever Sculpting Blush in number 22.

I really wanted a bright orange blush and this definitely fits that description!

  1. My erase paste is the MOST used item in my make-up bag. There is nothing that bad boy doesn’t cover. And those simple wipes are great for hot days, I keep a pack in my bag for those hot days in the office when my face gets all dry and crappy with the aircon.
    Great haul!

  4. I keep hearing about Erase Paste. I have stuck my finger in the pots of it at Sephora but that’s been it – it seems so goopy to me. I used Benefit’s Boing for yrs until I found and fell hard for Tart’s Amazonian clay concealer.
