| - A friend told me about Ulta. My daughter and I stopped in for a look. It was my first visit to such a place.
Wow.
If you enjoy lots of stuff to pamper and preen with, this is the place for you. Not only do they have the take-home goods, there is also an in-store hair salon.
My daughter -- who has become such a PRODUCT junkie -- was in her element. All the makeup, nail polish, hair products, etc.
I liked the make up and perfume sections.
We stayed way too long but thankfully I escaped without spending a fortune. It helped that we received a discount for our initial purchase. They'll sign you up for their snail mail catalog, e-mail notices, and the frequent shopper card so you too can get discounts.
Most recently we went for a sale on the EOS lip balm that comes in the spherical containers. Cute and useful.
At $7.99 for three, they cost a little more than the Nivea lip balm my daughter loves which is okay with me because the shape of the EOS containers ensures that they don't get lost in the black hole in my daughter's purse that seems to suck up the Nivea lip balm weekly.
Why did I let the child wander the aisles on this visit? She found some mascara that she just HAD to try because "So-and-so uses it and it So-and-so's lashes looked utterly kewl the last time I saw her. Mommy pleeeeeeeeeze!"
The life of the mother of a teenager. Gotta... love it.
We shop Ulta a few times a year and have had courteous and helpful service on each visit.
We have purchased lip balm, nail polish, mascara, from this location. We haven't needed to return anything so far.
