I’m Gonna Be The One To Say It. I Hate the New Ulta Website Design.

I receive a small commission if you shop through my link.

Hello, I’m the Muse and I’m getting older and I hate change. No but seriously, I never liked changed and that hasn’t nothing to do with age. Change in my work life, change in my personal life, change period. I don’t like change. I like things to stay exactly the way they area. I’m a creature of habit, I’m a creature of discipline, I’m a beast of organization and cleanliness, and the pandemic has just made all that much, much worst. I don’t like anything changed or rearranged. Am I anal? Probably but that’s just the person I am. When you whip the rug out from under me and suddenly change something I get a case of anxiety. Like for example, this morning my boyfriend was all like, “Hey, we should do all the shelving around the TV in the basement over! I called a guy yesterday about doing some custom shelving!”

No, no, we can’t do that. We need to think about this. We need to Google it, plan it, schedule a time and date in the distant future after we figure out the design and looked over different blueprints and pictures and checked out carpenters and do background checks on them with blood samples.

In all seriousness, I don’t really love change. Especially if it’s messy change and I gotta say Ulta’s new website design is just chaotic. I’m probably one of the few people that liked the old website. It was simple, easy to find things, and it loaded. This new website refuses to load correctly for me, I struggle checking out (my cart is empty when I go to checkout), and why are there like two popups (one for a sign in and one for something else) every time I visit. STOP GIVING ME A SIGN IN POPUP! Sometimes I just wanna browse without being bombarded with a sign in to my account popup! Also, whenever I want to search sometime forget it. I’ll search but the page won’t load the item or the brand I am searching for.

WTF IS GOING ON! I find the entire design annoying. Does no one realize they could be missing out on potential sales because the design is flawed and even irritating for the user? I really need to know have you been experiencing weird Ulta issues or is it me?

Ulta, I’m just not into this new design. I’m sorry. We can still be friends but I would like it if you ironed these issues out. I’ll accept the change but perhaps if we can just work out the kinks. K, thanks, bye now!

Charlotte Tilbury Summer of Lovegasm for Summer 2023

I receive a small commission if you shop through my link.

Charlotte Tilbury Summer of Lovegasm Summer 2023 Collection is officially here today. This collection features a brand new and gorgeous shade of Charlotte’s popular Beauty Light Wand in the shade Pinkgasm Sunset. I already hauled it. I could not resist the shade looks incredible. I hope it’s as beautiful on me as it is on the models. I ended up getting the Pinkgasl m Lip and Cheek Glow Duo which includes a matching Pinkgasm Sunset Jewel Lips Lipgloss shade! I do think the star of the collection is that gorgeous Pinkgasm Sunset Beauty Light Wand!

Also, making a come back in this collection is the Glowgasm Face Palette. I have this palette and much to everyone’s disagreement I actually like it. This palette had a very dense texture. I’m wondering if the re-release is any better. I actually have two as when it originally launched it launched in two shades. I love them and use them often but not many people loved how firm the powders are! You can read my review by clicking here!

This collection also includes two new shades of Jewel Lips Lipgloss in the shades Pinkgasm Sunset (rosy pink) and Pinkgasm (pearlescent pink). These hydrating glosses have and a dazzling diamond finish.

This is such a beautiful collection but I wish Charlotte had released a new shade in the Lightgasm Face Palette! Something with that gorgeous Pinkgasm Sunset shade would be absolutely iconic not to mention very unique.

Charlotte Tilbury Summer of Lovegasm for Summer 2023 is available now on the brand’s website and coming soon to Sephora!

Look Out Becca NARS Light Reflecting Undereye Brightener Is Coming for You

I receive a small commission if you shop through my link.

NARS Light Reflecting Undereye Brightener ($34) is a new illuminating concealer slash highlighter that targets dark circles and adds lasting brightness to the under eye area. The Light Reflecting Undereye Brightener is a cream formula with medium coverage that contains chromatic pearls that brighten the under eye area and act to reduce the look of finer looks. The formula also contains Bidens Pilosa Extract which has anti-aging benefits that include improving skin elasticity and strengthening skin barrier and finally Hyaluronic Filling Spheres that seal in moisture and plump up the under eye area.

When Becca went under two products that became available for sale again at Smashbox Cosmetics were their popular highlighters and their Under Eye Brightening Corrector. As soon as I saw this new formula from NARS I instantly though BECCA! Oddly, I never did understand the hype around the Becca formula. It never did work out for me even when I grabbed the Medium shade!

NARS does have a leg up on Becca as they will launch with five shades of Light Reflecting Undereye Brightener. Becca launched with two and added two more much later on! Shades include:

  • Night Swan (very light to light)
  • Golden Eye (light to medium)
  • Impossible Dream (medium)
  • Magic Hour (medium-deep)
  • Sunfire (medium deep to deep)

I’m curious about this but not curious enough to try it as I didn’t have terribly great success with Becca’s version nor did I love the new Tarte Shape Tape Radiant Concealer. Glowy or radiant anything under my eyes isn’t a good look! But I’m sure NARS Light Reflecting Undereye Brightener has its audience.

NARS Light Reflecting Undereye Brightener launches shortly.
