It has been the longest two weeks of my life. Ever since I announced that we’d be giving away right around $700 in glorious Ulta goods, I’ve been on the edge of my seat waiting to see who wins.
Let me also take this opportunity to apologize to the Canadians for not including you in past giveaways! Sometimes, sponsoring brands don’t allow other countries to participate, but I’m going to start lobbying hard for Canada and UK inclusion because I love you guys and you deserve free stuff!
And boy did we have some free stuff…
These are just some of the beauty products included in this unbelievably huge haul, provided by Ulta.
I split this haul into two prizes, each with five products or sets, the second prize was worth over $250 and the first prize – over $400.
Those of you who have been here since the beginning know how much I love to facilitate my broke buddies in getting free stuff, so this has been a complete gift to be able to just unload hundreds of dollars onto you all. And the fact that this is all high-quality, high-end and time-tested makes it line up perfectly with my views on what you should spend your money on… but in this case, two of you didn’t have to!
Speaking of, here are the long-awaited winners:
First prize:
- LORAC Dazzling Dozen Eyeshadows ($39): 12 beautiful, full sized eyeshadows – individually, this set would cost $228!
