I love organization blogs- oddly enough one has to be surprising creative with organization ideas- I love well organized functional spaces- there is nothing more calming to me.

Some fun decor ideas for bedrooms....

So I have been getting tired of couponing myself to death- stacking and scouring ads to pricematch- etc. and have decided to try a new (to me) place for my beauty products. Ulta- so far every time I have been in there its been a very good experience. They have reasonable prices and a great selection. I went in on my birthday and got my eyebrows mapped (waxed) for free - which by far was my favorite bday freebie. Though I wouldn't do it if I had to pay for it- its like 20 bucks without a tip- which to me is ridiculous just for eyebrows- they do spend a good 20 mins on your brows though. The staff so far has been friendly and helpful- with the exception of a few creeper lurkers. Anyway I've been product junky-ing their store brand products- as they have had some awesome clearance sales on their store products-

Their cosmetic line I have found to be pretty good for mid-price option- and awesome for their clearance sale. -

I love their eyes shadows- which I got a ton of for two dollars a piece ( the best is the matte ones)- though I really love bermuda sand

Lipstick was pretty awesome for 1-2 dollars a piece- especially the moisturizing line-

Automatic Eyeliners- probably by far my favorite for a buck normally eight- they are awesome.

Extreme Wear Cream Blushes- Love them for 1-2 dollar a piece totally worth the price not cakey or smudgey- easy to use- awesome purse makeup

Extreme Wear Cream Foundation- Awesome stuff for purse makeup- I think I got it for like 3-4 dollars a piece- its really versatile- and covers well- I wouldn't wear it for a big night or anything but for on the go- its great

I wouldn't however get their makeup gifts with purchase- I wasn't to impressed with them- the cases looked cheap and honestly to me it didn't look like the same product - but a cheaper product mass produced- I would buy colors seperately and not in bunches and wait for a sale - I also would use their coupons they come in the mail- like 3.50 off of 10-


Shampoo and Conditioners-

They had a great sale on shampoos and conditioners- I would go to this sale again because it was awesome-

Store Brand- works pretty well for the price- I got them on sale for 2 for 10 and then had a 5 off coupon- magazine tearout- so each for 2.50- I really like them aside from their smell- which honestly reminds me of play dough- but I think it depends on which you get- they all have a unique kinda weird smell not bad just not particularly good-

Joico- Liked their conditioners- got big bottles for 12.5- a piece - really gentle- got their shampoo did't love it a little harsh and drying- and really didn't feel like it was cleaning my scalp

AG- 12.50 a piece- AWESOME- Love the leave on conditioner (huge bottle) called Fast Food totally worth the sale price. Conditioner is really thick.


End of story- They have some pretty sweet sales- their everyday prices are comparable to walmart and target- great selection- Don't forget coupons in the mail- sometimes the sales ladies are nice enough to just scan theirs. - and if your bday is coming up definately get your brows done :-)
