That is great use of Ulta points @StellaBG. if you are interested in another blow dryer, I prefer Bio Ionic 10X Ultralight Speed Dryer . I have seen it on sale multiple times.

@Loretta55 

Thanks! Hopefully I won’t be losing anymore dryers or leaving them in hotels in different countries (lesson learned)

Amazing hauls, @quspork!! So many pretty lippies!! Enjoy your hosts goodies!!

[lmaster]

@quspork love the lippie shades!! Great hauls!!

[itsfi]

Your haul is simply marvelous @quspork! 😍 My eyes got wider and wider as I scrolled through all your photos.  Great candle choices - that Otherland Shiso candle caught my eye. Love the scent on both the Nest and Voluspa candles! Sorry to hear the CT balm didn't meet your expectations - was there anything particular about it that you didn't like or was it a case of it paling in comparison to all the other fabulous lippies you picked up?

[quspork]

RE the CT balm-- It's not that it's bad, but it's not great either, ya know, @itsfi? For one, once you advance the balm in the tube, you can't reverse it. Luckily I didn't twist it too far out on the first try! It's also really more of a lipstick than a balm, which is fine, just not what I expecting since it's a bit heavier. I'll definitely keep it because I do love the color and I'll wear it, but for the price of a CT product, I was expecting something a little better I guess. I can't complain too much though. I do love all the others, especially the Merit. 

[itsfi]

That makes sense @quspork. I have a couple of the CT balms and agree they have more of a lipstick feel to them. Agree too that they’re not bad, just not favorites. 

[faeriegirl]

Excellent haul @quspork! How do you like the Ilia lip oil?

[quspork]

I'm loving it so far, @faeriegirl. It's nicely moisturizing without being heavy or sticky. I'm very strongly considering picking up some other colors with the fall sale. 

[curlychiquita]

This is such a fun haul, @quspork! I love lip oils, and you're making me want the Nude Dip palette.

[quspork]

Yes, I'm such a sucker for a good lip oil, @curlychiquita!

[ather]

@quspork  Omg amazing haul!!!! So many goodies. That TF palette is gorgeous!! I didn’t know Voluspa has a coconut candle I need to get it immediately!

[quspork]

I highly recommend the coconut candle, @ather! It's a great scent for summer!

[Ispend2much6]

@quspork  Beautiful haul!  I had looked at Pillow Talk in that formula; now I"m glad that wasn't one of my sale purchases.  You saved me money. 🙂

[quspork]

Ha, happy to help, @Ispend2much6!

[lnum]

@quspork So many really great products in this haul. Nude dip 😍

[quspork]

Thanks, @lnum. The TF has been on my wish list for YEARS and I finally decided to bite the bullet. The picture really doesn't do those shades justice- so pretty!

[lnum]

@quspork I can relate, I was the same with that exact palette and just recently started actually using it as opposed to staring at it. Enjoy!

[Loretta55]

Great hauls @quspork. Love the Monoi body wash. That is a great description of the scent.

[quspork]

It's such a refreshing scent, isn't it, @Loretta55? Now, I'm kinda regretting not also picking up the hand soap during the sale.
