Yes.
I went back to Ulta because when I saw they were carrying some new colors I've been wanting from Rimmel but didn't have last time, I had to make a 2nd trip once the store restocked.
I got lucky and the colors I wanted were available.
Pretty much all the brands I purchased from had a buy 2 get 1 free promo.
Ever since watching TheStyleDiet and even though she's more of a fashion channel, she has some gorgeous picks for cosmetics.
One of the lipstick colors that caught my eye was by Rimmel called Summer Angel.
Unfortunately for a long time that lipstick was not available in the states.
It was only available in the UK.
But to my surprise on my last Ulta visit I saw the new promo stand but they were sold out of almost ALL colors.
Lucky for my 2nd visit they had restocked.
Rimmel Summer Angel #640
I think the flash darkens the color a bit.
It's a bit lighter and frosty.
I actually picked up TWO Summer Angels because my friend Suzy in Australia has been searching for this shade as well.
So I can't wait to send it off to her.
They have tons of Rimmel stands but like me, this color wasn't available to them.
The 2nd shade that caught my eye in the stand is a color called Fancy.
It's a pretty frosty pearl pink shade.
I ventured over to the lip liners for Rimmel and choose Eastend Snob.
I don't know what it is but lately I've been loving the automatic pencils for lip liners & eyeliners.
I have been wanting to check out Rimmel's Stay Matte Powders but couldn't decide which would work for me.
So I bought Translucent & Sand to test out.
I hope they work as lately my skins been sorta on the oily side.
Gross!
I picked up a couple Maybelline products as this is one of my favorite drugstore brand.
First I picked the Dream Mousse Blush in Peach Satin.
But I don't know why they call this a peachy tone because I thought it was more of a pink shade.
Also a lipstick I've been eying for awhile now, Caramel Kiss.
It's more of a shimmery brown nude mix. A very warm shade and a change from my pinks & peaches.
It also lives up to it's name, Caramel Kiss! It smells & tastes just like caramel.
So here are all 3 shades of lipsticks & lipliner I purchased.
I also purchased the Maybelline Mineral Power Natural Perfecting Concealer in Sand.
I've been wanting to try this out for some time now.
I go between my MAC Select Cover Up and YSL Touche Eclat at home but wanted one to leave in my purse that had a wand applicator.
I had planned on picking up MAC's Select Moisturecover which comes in the same packaging as the Maybelline one, but this saved me a trip...and it was buy 2 get 1 free!
I think I'm most excited to send the Summer Angel lipstick to Suzy.
I just happen to have picked up the last 2 tubes.
