Platinum Ulta Haul

You read it right: I'm finally a platinum member at Ulta! Considering my makeup addiction you may have thought I would have been platinum a long time ago, but I tend to shop there mostly online and when they have sales. I also often split my money between Ulta and Sephora. Nevertheless, I'm finally a platinum member and I'm so happy about it! (TBH I don't actually know what benefits you get as a platinum member, but I'm enjoying the status obviously...)

In this haul I got a number of things off my wishlist, am trying out some new skincare, and made a repurchase so let's get to it!

Soap and Glory Sugar Crush Scrub
I bought this body scrub last summer and fell in love with the scent. It smells like limeade, I am absolutely obsessed with it. I need the sweet, summery scent in the middle of this awful winter. I'm running low on my current tub and there is no other scrub that I want to try now that I've found this.

Soap and Glory Supercat Eyeliner
All of my liquid liners seem to be drying out at the same time, so I decided to try out one that is new to me and very highly rated in the blogosphere. I haven't tried this one on my eyes yet, but based on the swatches you can get a pretty thin line with it and it looks very black. I don't know if it will perform better than my Nyx Epic Ink liner, but I'm willing to give it a try.

Pacifica Coconut Micellar Water
I have been searching for the perfect cruelty-free micellar water for months and I'm hoping this one is it. It was a little more expensive than the others I've tried, but maybe it's worth it. The coconut scent is thankfully very light, which was a problem I've had with other micellar waters, so if it performs well then it could be a staple in my collection!

Winky Lux Flower lip balm in Pink

These flower lip balms took the Internet by storm a few months ago, and I always wanted to try one but didn't know which brand to go for. Winky Lux recently began selling at Ulta so I added this clear balm to my cart. The flower is smaller than I expected, but it is very pretty.The balm applies clear but turns into a light pink shade on my skin tone. In the swatch below the balm was on my skin for about two minutes before I took the photo, and it didn't get much darker after that. It feels really light and moisturizing, so even if it is a gimmicky product it still performs well! 

Makeup Revolution Liquid Highlighter in Champagne

This is so beautiful when it is swatched! It seems like a more affordable alternative to the Cover FX liquid highlighters and I can't wait to try it out. Champagne is a light gold that would work for a lot of light and medium skin tones. It's super reflective but blends out to be a little less blinding. 

Skyn Iceland Cleanser and Moisturizer 

My current cleanser from Biore is almost gone so I'm ready to try to find a good alternative, preferably one that is a little less harsh on my dry skin. The Glacial face wash sounded good and I was going to buy the full size, but this sample duo was on sale so I went for it instead! The moisturizer is the perfect size for when I fly to Mexico in a few months, and the cleanser is definitely big enough to see if I want to get the full size.
