r/Ulta

All right, babes I am on the hunt for the best dry shampoo at Ulta to help me get in between my washes.

I probably wash my hair every 2 to 3 days and by the second day it just looks really greasy and flat and gross and I’m not really a huge fan of throwing it up in a ponytail, but I will definitely … I have a few hair clips, but I don’t know. I just don’t like the way it looks…. And so I started hunting for a good dry shampoo and I bought the Saltair dry shampoo and it is just OK. It’s very mid… it’s not horrible by any means, but I know that there are better products out there.

I saw a social media video where a girl was like applied a dry shampoo on camera and her hair was really greasy and gross before hand, and then after she used the dry shampoo, it straight up looked like her hair had just been washed. It was so good and I’ve heard a lot of things about the K 18 dry shampoo. I think it’s called. I literally cannot remember what product she was reviewing and I can’t find the video but what they showed me was that there are really good products out there. I just need to find them.

And I think that this would be a good investment for me because I don’t always shower every day. I tried doing that for a couple months and then my scalp started to burn plus I live in an area where water is very expensive.

So I wanna know from the community please tell me what’s the absolute best dry shampoo out there? I know that expensive doesn’t always mean good so I am open to you know price your stuff because it’s an investment for sure…. And I can always search for it on discount or on the resale apps or whatever but yeah I’m really curious. What’s the best dry shampoo out there? Please help me thank you very much.!!!

I tried Pureology Hydrate Shampoo and Conditioner for a few weeks and it absolutely destroyed my scalp. It’s painful, irritated and inflamed and itchy.

I went back to using Joico products (what I usually use)but my scalp hasn’t returned back to normal and it’s been several weeks since I stopped using Pureology.

Before I go see a dermatologist, does anyone have any recommendations on a product that would help soothe my scalp and get it back to normal?

I’m usually a very fair skinned person with many freckles, I use a light/fair Lancôme Teint Idole (105W) foundation daily.
I have recently been able to start doing water aerobics in an outside pool and will continue to do so for the rest of the summer if able.
Is it worth it to buy a new matching foundation for the rest of the summer or try to shade match my current foundation adding other products I already have to make it a little better fit as I get darker?

I do wear SPF 50 on my body and a mineral sunscreen on my face that’s also SPF 50 (derm gave me this brand- ISDN Photo) and re apply every hour to hour and a half I’m outside in the water or when I feel the need if more often. I also always wear a hat and sunglasses and sun shirt. But I’m still getting more tan than expected more quickly due to my fair skin and lack of base tan from being ill and inside a lot.

Sorry if this has been asked before or is common sense. I haven’t been able to exercise in a while and am excited to continue this outdoor activity but don’t want to look ridiculous with a tan elsewhere and mismatched face due to using the same foundation.
Thank you!

I had a bunch of Nars products (afterglow blushes, eye cream) that were 50% off in my cart yesterday. Everything indicated that it was part of the sale that goes through July 11. I went to add a few more things this morning because I got distracted last night and didn't get to order, and I was sad to see that it's back to regular price today.

I didn't see anything about that product only being on sale until 7/4. There wasn't anything on the product page indicating when the sale was going to end. I even went in store a few days ago to try the shades IRL before ordering (I wanted the Clinique GWP that's online only though) and the signs in the store didn't have an end date. It just said it was 50% off with the big summer sale, so I assumed it was good until that date.

I didn't even see a sale flyer for Nars at all online (compared to other brands that are advertising 40% off for two days only or other various short term deals). I stumbled upon the Nars products being on sale when I was searching for a different Nars product and saw they had the deals on certain items.

For my future reference, is there a way to tell when individual sales that are apparently sub-sales within a larger sale event end? I don't want to miss out on these deals in the future. (This would have only been my second Ulta online order, so I'm a newer customer).

I'm a 34 y/o male and I close to 0 about makeup or skincare for women. What I do know is I love my wife and I want to surprise her with some nice stuff from Ulta. Could any of you kind souls point me in the right direction towards some good skincare products and makeup? We can totally be besties and talk about all the new makeup trends while we watch Love is Blind.

Now available in Ulta app

Please use this post to check for current gwp or beauty breaks. You can still post standalone posts for confirmed Beauty Breaks, but you can not create standalone posts asking if a beauty break will be happening.

Lately, almost all the associates at my local Ulta refuse to check if they have Gift With Purchase (GWP) items in stock. This has happened across separate visits and multiple items.

One time they did say they didnt have it and i ended up going back later in the week and I asked a diffrent associare and they had it and the assoxlciate commented on how many they have cause she was surprised they didnt run out -it was a Anasatasia beverly hills gwp (i know devils avocate maybe they just got a shipment in but the associate implied the gwps have been sitting there)

If I am buying an item that qualifies for a GWP, I want to receive it.How can I ask them nicely to check without annoying them? A few months ago, they would happily check if I asked, but now they won't even look. Sometimes if the store is empty, I will ask if a GWP is available before I grab the item, and they say "no" before I even finish my sentence. I really wanted the Joico Supergirl bag GWP, and they wouldn't even look for it. Then when i went to order it online it was sold out. If I happen to get certain associates, they will check for me, but they usually arent there when I go.

associates (specific ones bot everyone obviously but they're ususlly at the register) have a history of not knowing about items having gwps so i'd have to show then the sign by the items or online and then theyd look and find it. So because there is that history....

One of the items I bought wasn't even popular, and another had three different GWPs available. I know stord have sheets with wjat gwp is active but it seems like theyre just saying no to say no. Its hard to explain but its the tone of thier voice. Theres tons of gwp so I don't understand how they claim to know off the top of their head that everything I ask/buy all the time is out of stock

I prefer buying in-store to avoid shipping issues, but this is getting ridiculous. Any advice?
