Ulta 20% Off Everything Sale (10% off Prestige Brands)

I was hoping to receive 20% off code for everything including the prestige brands this year. I wonder if it's because I am no longer a platinum member. I had some issue with my account and it was recently resolved. I lost almost all the points for the past 2 years, and it kinda sucked.
I was a bit disappointed with the promo code, but since there are some of Ulta exclusive holiday items, I thought it's still worth sharing.

If you have an account with Ulta, you should have received the promo code on your email. The sale starts today through October 31st. The code can only be used once, so you need to plan ahead.

Ulta 21 Days of Beauty

I hope everyone is doing well. There are some pretty good deals that are happening right now at Ulta, and I want to point out some of my picks.

Ulta 21 Days of Beauty
Ulta features daily beauty steals for 21 days, and some of the products included are worth checking out. The nice thing about it is they already have a calendar set up for each of  the beauty steal of the day, so you can easily plan ahead. Here are my picks:

 9/9 - TooFaced La Creme lipstick. I love the formula. It's so creamy and sits nice on the lips. For 50% off, it's a very good deal.

9/13 - Tarte Lights, Camera, Lashes mascara. It's one of my favorite mascara. If you have wimpy lashes like mine, lashes that like to face down that is, this mascara will hold up curl without weighing them down.

9/15 - It Cosmetics Eyelift in a tube. I have never tried this one, but It Cosmetics is known for its complexion products, and I am so excited to try this one. It's essentially an under-the-eye concealer mixed with brightener which would give the look of "instant lift".

9/23 - Cargo blushes. Another product I have really been wanting to try out. I've seen it on action and heard about how long-wearing it is.

9/24 - Maly Beauty Face defender. This is pretty much the new form of blotting paper or touch-up powder. It takes away the shine and get rid of the oil without putting more product and without any used oily paper. This is odorless and colorless.

Let me know what you get or any recommendation is welcome!

Nordstrom End-of-Summer Clearance Sale Picks

The sale started on the first day of September, so I thought this would be a great time to share some of the items worth checking out.

1. Rebecca Minkoff Love Crossbody bag (reviewed here). This is one of my favorite finds this year. The one I have has a different pattern and color, but I do think this color is pretty too. I love the quilted pattern, and the gold/taupe-ish color combo is a good natural shade which matches pretty much any outfit. It has a sturdy build, but the inside is actually pretty spacious. I get to bring my essentials - wallet,phone, some makeup products which I show you on my video.

2.Topshop 'Scout' Double Breasted Trench Coat. There's only one size left. For Topshop, I usually wear size 4 or 6 depending on the clothing item. Topshop coats I've tried on are usually very soft and well-made. This has great reviews on the Nordstrom website.

3. Topshop Double Breasted Cotton Trench. Another alternative with straighter cut. This is Nordstrom exclusive and one of the new item in their Fall line.  I tried it on, unfortunately this was too long for my liking, and I didn't want to take a risk having it hemmed.

That's all from me. Let me know your recommendations!

Ann Taylor and Loft Sale

Happy Saturday! Sorry for the lack of posts this week. It's been a hectic week, and I'm grateful to finally chillax on a Saturday afternoon in my couch. It is no secret that half of my wardrobe comes from Ann Taylor of Ann Taylor Loft. I shop online from both store pretty regularly, and I am a fan. I love their petite sizing because it fits better for women under 5'4" like I am.

Ann Taylor is having their Friends & Family sale for 40% off entire purchase with code FRIENDS40. I like to take advantage of this sale for their handbags because their sale don't usually include handbags and accessories. If you're interested in my Ann Taylor Gallery Tote, they now have the same styles in black and taupe and now called Signature tote. I also love their Cambridge Cropped pants. It's flattering and perfect fit for me. I wore the black one here, and I'm planning to get another one in different color. Check out other stuff I'm eyeing.

Loft is having 50% select full-price styles with code FIFTY, $25 off select dresses and as always. extra something % off for sale items, and this time it's 60%. Most of my favorite outfits come from Loft. I got many compliments for my playsuit which I got on sale from the store, so I want to get something similar. I know summer is almost over, but living in North California, Fall is like summer with more rain. I also like their Marisa pants which fits straighter through the hips. I fell in love with the floral maxi dress. I'd feature on an ootd soon. And shout out for the plaid shirtdress. Paired with a brown booties, it just looks so chic for fall.
