Ulta’s Spring 2018 21 Days of Beauty starts today and it’s a great time to stock up on some beauty staples or try new items at a discounted rate. Ulta is my preferred beauty shopping destination because of their Ultimate Rewards membership card. It’s completely free! You earn points for every dollar spent in store and online. The best part of the program is that you earn cash back to spend on future purchases. If you’re a Platinum or Diamond level member, you earn 25% more (Platinum) and 50% more (Diamond) points faster. If you have an Ultimate Rewards Credit Card, you earn 2x the points on every $1 spent on top of that. If you’re a frequent visitor of the store, then points add up quickly. I like to save my points until I have $50-$100+ in cash to spend on an expensive item I’ve had my eye on. Because this reward system has such great benefits, I personally think it’s far superior to Sephora’s V.I.B. and V.I.B. Rouge program which only gives back sample size products or extremely limited full-size and/or special items.

In an effort to make your shopping as easy as possible, I’ve curated the below-referenced list of cruelty-free items available during this sale.

Notes in pink are what is going on my wish list and that I’ll most likely be picking up.
