| - Ah...Ulta. Kinda like Sephora's red headed step child..No just kidding. They have gotten more and more street cred with me over the years, mainly because they have started to carry more and more "prestige" brands, like Lorac, Stila, Tarte, etc., and have fairly good deals on drugstore stuff too...when you know how to shop it there...can you say COUPONS?
First off...what it is...a kind of hybrid between Sephora, and say, your local Walgreens or CVS. Meaning, you can find stuff here that you can't find in a Sephora, like my coveted Cover Girl LashBlast Mascara, and vice versa. The hair products and appliance section is pretty extensive...this is where I bought my coveted Sedu brand clipless curling iron and flat iron, (instead of on Folica.com) when they were both on sale and even more discounted because I had a 20% off coupon. (These irons are incredible quality and NEVER scorch hair, but a bit pricey at around 150.00 each, but sooo worth it... check out their reviews online to see if you are interested )......So I saved on shipping and handling that I would have paid on Folica.com, even though technically Folica's regular prices are lower than Ulta's regular prices...but to get the better deal at Ulta and not pay shipping...you just have to watch for the sales.
The key to getting a good deal at ulta is signing up for their rewards program and giving them your email address where they will send you promos practically every day with coupons. If this will annoy the crap out of you, just give them a junk email, but actually CHECK it to get the coupons. They also discount their drugstore makeup fairly regularly, with deals on brands like Cover Girl or Loreal stuff. These deals usually are like, buy 2 get one free, etc. I ALWAYS use my coupons along with deals like that and save a nice amount.
This location is smaller and less stocked than their North Rainbow location, but the staff is nice. Not on par with say, a Nordie's cosmetics gal, but they always have reps in store for the various lines, so if you really like say, Stila, ask when their reps are coming into the store or when they will have special events with the brand, and you can meet with an actual Rep from that particular company. As far as returns go, I always save my receipts, just in case I don't like a product and want to return it, and they have never given me a hassle. They usually issue store credit if you don't have a receipt, and have done that for me before,but that isn't too often, because I save all my receipts so as not to appear ghetto....ha ha...
So yeah, def NOT a Sephora, but a heck of a lot better than just sticking to a drugstore, because thou cannot live on drugstore makeup alone! I go a least a few times a month.
