Ulta and Five Below [Mini] Haul

Well, I went out to buy stuff for my sister's birthday... and then I bought myself a few things as well. Go figure.

Here's my little haul!

I stopped by Ulta to price out some stuff that I didn't end up getting for her but my favorite leave-in conditioner, Healthy Sexy Hair Soy Tri-Wheat Leave Leave In Conditioner, was on sale for $9.99. It's usually $17.99 so that was such a deal! I also had 20% off one item so I ended up getting it for $8.41 with tax. I love this leave-in conditioner. It's the only one that leaves my thin, fine hair feeling soft but doesn't weigh it down or make it feel oily. It's seriously a god send and I don't think I can live without it now.

My next stop was Five Below and, man, I scored a lot of stuff for her gift there (I'll be posting about her present once she opens it!) but I also ended up filling my hands with stuff for me too! I bought a travel size of Not Your Mother's Clean Freak Refreshing Dry Shampoo because I'd been walking around like Marie Antoinette using corn starch in my hair on days between shampooing and needed something else. I decided it was time to give up the powdered wig look and since it's a travel size container, if I don't like it, I'm not out a lot of money. Perfect. I haven't tried it yet but I'll report back once I do!

I also picked up a City Color Blush Quad in Collection 2, which had a bunch of blush colors I didn't have. I had to own it and for $4 it was a steal! That's $1 per blush! Yep. I had tried a City Color blush in my Ipsy bag a few months back and really like it. The blush I have already is VERY pigmented and blends well. I was excited to find these.

The third color looks more orange in person but my camera was just not picking it up. They all seem to have a little shimmer to them but are highly pigmented which is great! AND all City and Color products are cruelty free! Hooray! This quad is definitely worth the $4 and I might even have to pick up the other blush quad next time I stop by.

I managed to talk myself out of buying lip crayons that were 2 for $5 and somehow resisted buying all the textured nail polish that was there. They also had Wet 'N Wild blushes and I had a very hard time not buying those as well. It's so hard to just not buy all the things!
