He came back! Every two years or so, I earn 4000 points in my Ulta account. It’s $ 250! So I go shopping with my points. I have NO IDEA what to buy! I have tons of makeup so I don’t need to top up or redeem my basics. I have tons of skincare products thanks to the Ipsy boxes. I don’t do much with my hair and have the tools I need to accomplish the little I do. I have good perfumes from my last visit. So. My question is the following; what unnecessary items, expensive products or tools, unnecessary pallets and other things should I buy? What would you buy ??!?!
Off the wall suggestion, if you have everything you need or want. Maybe put part of that money to charity? I’m in the UK and don’t have Ulta, but I know charities exist for helping people get back into work. Maybe a kit of something like a mascara, a simple black eyeliner, other very basic very neutral things, to give a woman a bit of a leg up?
Do you have fellow beauty lovers in your life? I love treating myself to new makeup, but I’m at a point where my collection has almost gotten too large and storage is becoming stressful. If I were in your position, I might ask a couple close friends/family if I could buy them a gift, and if so what they would like.
I’d pick my favorite makeup categories, search for the most expensive thing in those categories, and really treat myself. I only have $61 in points and that’s what I’m gonna do for my birthday
Well you could see if any local charities need toiletry donations. I know one of my local charities was looking for Chapstick donations lately, for example. I’d bet that some organization near you needs something sold at Ulta.
I’m in kind of the same boat as you. I had 4000 but I spent half at the last perks day. I’m at the point now where there’s nothing much I actually want. I’m going to get some stuff for Easter basket stuffers (hair ties and lip balm) but I might just pay for it because it’s not that expensive. My points don’t expire because I’m diamond (because I have A Problem) so I’m probably just going to let them sit until something tickles my fancy.
