Lunchtime Ulta Haul

I know that I am always talking about saving money for more important things than random Ulta trips but I am here to tell you that if you are frugal and save coupons, you can get a haul for less... and quench that shopping thirst that sometimes hits when you are least expecting it. Since getting my Essie on with a Klout perk, I have been salivating about picking up more from their Summer collection. I knew I needed Mojito Madness or I would, well, go mad. So I made it my business to head to Ulta on a recent lunch break. Of course, I gave myself a limit of $20 because I was really only going in to get the nail polish but we all know how a trip into Ulta can turn out. While I was browsing around, I remembered that John Freida sent me a free hair color coupon (which Ulta honored, a thankyouverymuch and yes, I occasionally color my own hair) and I also had an Ulta coupon for $3 off a $10 purchase... soooo I grabbed my hair color, the Essie nail polish, nail polish remover, a new eye shadow and some mascara for, drum roll please, $19. I think I did quite well for myself.

Have you ever gotten a really good deal on lots of beauty goodies?
