Sometimes you need a little…and sometimes you need a lot, which is why I grabbed two liter-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner last weekend, along with a gaggle of cute skin care minis.
Ulta is having a liter-sized sale right now on select brands of big shampoos and conditioners. I popped over there yesterday and grabbed these GINORMOUS bottles of Matrix Biolage ExquisiteOil Micro-Oil Shampoo and Conditioner…
The shampoo usually sells for $28, and the conditioner for $33, but I got them for $15.99 apiece.
What a steal!
I’ve never tried them before, so I realize that this could have been risky, but Ulta has a generous return policy. Both the shampoo and conditioner are silicone-free, which my hair usually likes. Plus, back in college I used Biolage all the time.
I took both for a spin last night, and this morning I woke up to soft, bouncy hair! Paws up! ?
The Drunk Elephant face cleanser and moisturizer came in a Sephora VIB birthday gift set. I actually went in last Friday to restock a bottle of Kate Somerville Anti-Bac for the gazillionth time, and the MAC minis are limited edition scented versions of the classic Fix+.
Have you picked up any big or little bottles of beauty-somethings lately?
Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,

Happy Tuesday! I have the same Drunk E set from Sephora (bday). I don’t love them enough to buy full size but I do like them and they’re very handy for travel! I also used Biolage for years in college but not since – hopefully these work out for you. I’m still looking for a new favorite since Pureology disco’d Pure Volume. I know. Get over it. HAHA! My fave mini right now is the Laneige Water Mask which I love so much, I misspelled it the last time I wrote about it. 🙂 I should know that snow is feminine. I grabbed the MAC Fix in cherry blossom but I don’t really care for it. I guess I like fake cherry better than the blossom.
I have been eyeing a couple liters at Ulta, I better hop on it before the sale is over.
Just yesterday I got the full set of Drunk Elephant Littles and started to experiment with them after lots of reading and note-taking. I love that there’s enough for a useful trial period, as the little packets of most samples are useless, lasting for only one or two applications. Color me happy!
Make yourself a great day!

Just bought a mini watermelon Fix+. Smells amazing! !
Me too! It smells soooo good! Especially for summer time!
My birthday is this month but I haven’t decided which birthday gift to get from Sephora yet! I don’t think the Drunk Elephant moisturizer will be enough for my hella dry skin. I love mini sizes of things though and I’m going to Montréal at the end of the month.
I think I’m going to Ulta tomorrow after I get my hair done – I have a return or two but I also have a birthday coupon and some points.
I don’t like giant bottles of shampoo and conditioner because I swear my hair gets tired of the same shampoo after a while.
Just this afternoon I picked up a mini bottle of PHD volumizing hair mouse and used some Sephora points to get a mini of Hourglass Caution Extreme mascara.
I used to use Biolage all the time but I’m using Pur D’ora . It’s supposed to hinder breakage and hair loss .
I was dying to try Meaningful Beauty and there’s a sale going on the trial size . So far I love the serum but I’m a real sucker for any serum .
At first I thought you were talking about “ Big Little Lies “!
