Ulta has been striving to becoming your one stop beauty shop lately with plenty of sales, freebies, and great perks including cash back rewards that everyone absolutely adores (who doesn’t like free money!?!) but the one thing they sadly lack is free shipping. As they grow and improve I have no doubt that some sort of Free Shipping for Platinum Members is on the horizon but nothing yet sadly. The good news? Around the Holidays they lower their $50 shipping threshold to $35 but there are days where you’re shopping Ulta.com and your order comes to like $33 and you’re in need of that one item that will tip you into the free shipping zone but you really don’t want to spend $10 or more on that extra something.

No worries.

Here’s the plan!

7-Eleven Makeup or Simply Me Beauty as it’s called is a real thing so, along with that Big Gulp and super size bag of BQ Corn Nuts you can now get mascara, lipstick, hell, even false lashes. But really, does this surprise anyone? The makeup and beauty industry grows by 5 to 8% ever year for the last several years. Beauty influencers, youTubers, social media, and brands have created a cult-like obsession with all things makeup which means everyone wants a slice of the beauty pie including your local 7-Eleven.

Simply Me Beauty by 7-Eleven apparently will have beauty and makeup picks that includes BB Creams, Lipsticks, Mascaras, False Lashes, Concealers, and more for under $5 each. And yes, they can all be purchased at 7-Eleven.

Oh Thank Heaven for 7-Eleven Makeup.

It continues to become abundantly clear that the cost of drugstore cosmetics has risen considerably over the last ten years. The fact has never been clearer for me than after I walked out of an Ulta recently with a receipt held in my hand for a Maybelline Eyeshadow Palette that I paid $16.10 for.

There’s a certain embarrassment that comes from spend nearly twenty bucks on a very small eyeshadow palette from a drugstore brand. You’ll find yourself thinking about how you could have went to Sephora and probably gotten a better deal on some mid-range brand. And right now, with a plentiful round of gift sets available you can get quite a good deal of bang for your buck at Sephora.

Yet here I am the proud of owner of a Maybelline Eyeshadow Palette that cost me $16.10.
