I try not to go into this store for small items like lotion or hair accessories because then I end up putting a lot of things in my bag. This store gets over $100 from me every time I enter it. So I try and accumulate my needs to atleast once every 2-3 months and just spurlge all at once. I love to buy shampoo, make-up, exfoliantes, lotions, and perfume here. My most Ulta exciting moment was when I racked up so many points that my level exceeded 6 (the highest). I was a 7! Whoa! (The jokes on me because I'm the one spending money)
There are products I will not purchase here. Nail polish--I saw one for almost $30!
Blow dryer attachments (they don't carry), or anything I can get cheaper at Walmart as far as nail clippers, tweezers, etc. I'm cheap in many ways, but I'll spend money if the product yields results.
Once my $3.50 coupon didn't start until a few days later and one of the cashiers gave me a in-store coupon for $14 off. I don't know what kind of coupon that was but it was certainly better than the one I had. I never have bad experiences at this store. They are always friendly and the cashiers always remind me of good deals I've overlooked and hook me up with samples! FUN!
