During the month of October the windows of ULTA stores will carry the personal messages of women who have been affected by Breast Cancer – survivors, family members, friends.
“As a company dedicated to empowering women, breast cancer awareness month holds a particular significance for all of us at ULTA and is the Inspiration behind our WINDOWS …read more

Finding new ways to save money is a subject that’s always on my mind. This year I’m going to try to begin my holiday shopping extra early in an attempt to keep as close to my budget as possible.
I was looking at ULTA and they have these ULTA Spa Sponge Collections that include 3 different sponges – a mesh pouf, a loofah, and a natural cut body sponge. I like a mesh pouf because you can use a very small amount of body wash and still get a ton of suds. Using less product saves money. These sponge sets are …read more

The best way to make a fragrance last all day is to put it on in layers. Layered products, one on top of the other, build a good foundation of scent – they allow the scent to cling to your skin. Start with a body wash, then apply a fragrant moisturizer. Finish with a spritz of your favorite eau de parfum or eau de toilette.
For best results, pick three products of the same fragrance or the same fragrance family. I like to layer the Caroline Chu products, but I add a different brand of body powder in a lavender scent. …read more
