Ulta Beauty Favorites — Top Skincare, Makeup, and Hair Care

Ulta is one of those stores I go to knowing I can find just about any type of beauty product. Whether it’s skincare, hair care, or makeup, the aisles are stocked with something for all my beauty needs.

I recently took a trip to the Ulta near my home and discovered (and rediscovered!) a few of my beauty favs. And since I get a lot of questions about what I use, I thought I’d share a few with you today.

Here’s a look at my Ulta Beauty Favs!

Some of My Ulta Beauty Favorites

I’ll start my list with a new favorite of mine from a brand that’s more recent to the market.

This is called a “Polite Pop” from Polite Society — a company created by the founders of Too Faced.

The Polite Pop is an innovative powder blush in a stick that results in a soft matte look. I’m shocked at how well it blends!

The Tarte brand isn’t new to me, but it’s been a go-to in my makeup routine for a few years.

Shape Tape is a full-coverage concealer that is one of the brand’s bestsellers. It’s formulated for up to 16 hours of wear and it’s made to brighten skin while smoothing and blurring fine lines.

I’ve shared my love of the Tarte Maracuja Juicy Lip products before, but it’s because they’re a staple in my routine. I love how smoothly they glide on and while they offer a lot of shine, they aren’t sticky.

I’ve been a MAC girl for years and haven’t met a makeup product I don’t love. Find some of its bestsellers below!

And I can’t forget my favorite MAC lip products like the MAC Blankety Lipstick Cream and the Lipglass High Shine Lip Gloss. Both are essential Ulta Beauty Favorites!

Speaking of lip products, I love the Buxom Full-On Plumping Lip Cream and this Plump Shot Lip Serum. Each product is lightweight and offers just the right amount of shine.

If you look in my makeup drawer, you’ll always find an Estée Lauder product. And this one I’m holding? It’s a staple.

It’s called the Futurist Hydra Rescue Moisturizing Foundation and it comes in over two dozen shades. The formula also includes SPF 45 for some extra sun protection.

Onto some Ulta Beauty Favorites in the skincare category! If you’re looking for something to tackle large pores, dark spots, and skin texture, look no further than the Sunday Riley B3 Nice Niacinamide Serum.

It’s great for evening out complexion and it can be applied to the face, neck, and décolleté.

You’ve heard me talk about Elemis before and I stand by what I say. I love its products!

This Pro-Collagen Cleansing Balm is a 3-in-1 cleanser that removes makeup and impurities for a glowy complexion. It feels like a spa day at home!

This Caviar Working Hairspray isn’t inexpensive, but it’s worth the hype. It’s buildable and features ingredients like seaweed, vitamins, antioxidants, and more — reducing aging acceleration and nourishing hair.

Certain products are absolutely worth the investment, but if I can find a quality item at a fraction of the cost, I’m all for it! In addition to some of the splurge-worthy names, Ulta has a variety of drugstore-type brands that I turn to time and time again.

This NYX Can’t Stop Won’t Stop Full Coverage Concealer is one of them. It has a matte finish and it’s designed to last up to 24 hours.

Maybelline is another tried-and-true brand I continue to buy and one of my Ulta Beauty Favorites. From mascara to gloss to shadow and more!

E.l.f. is an affordable brand that is newer to me, but I’ve enjoyed all the products I’ve tried. The Power Grip Primer is one of E.l.f.’s most popular items.

Other trendy finds are the Glow Reviver Lip Oil, Holy Hydration! Makeup Melting Cleansing Balm, and Suntouchable Invisible Sunscreen.

Do you use any of these Ulta Beauty Favorites? I’m always looking for new items too… so let me know if you find something you love!

From my home to yours,
