HAUL - Shieseido, Ulta, Morroccan Oil, Sephora

Yesterday I went shopping with my friend from high school who recently moved back from Los Angeles.  I have girl friends but they don't really like to go shopping so I usually have to go by myself.  It was really nice to have genuine girl time for a change.

I first stopped in Ulta because the Pantene Beautiful Lengths Restorative Masque is not cutting it for me and I wanted to get my beloved Macadamia Oil hair Masque instead.  I looked for more of the oil too but they were out of it so I just got the Masque.

My skin has been having some issues lately and I've been breaking out around my chin so I wanted to get the Mario Badescu Drying Lotion.  I've used it in the past and it has helped clear my face up.  I used it last night and the areas where I applied it are a lot smaller and are on their way to healing.

The last thing that I got from Ulta is the Benefit Boi-ing Eyebright to go.  It contains .05 oz of the Boi-ing concealer in shade 02 and .04 oz of the Eyebright.  I was worried that the concealer part was going to be too dark for my skin but when it's mixed with the eye bright it actually blends in nicely.

Next I went into Sephora to have a look around.  I wanted to see if they had the Urban Decay Naked palette.  I don't need the naked palette and I've seen it before but I figure so many people love it there has to be something special about it.  They didn't have it at my Sephora and I didn't see anything special in the store so I got my birthday gift and left.  I don't know if I wasn't in the mood to look at makeup or what but I could not find a single thing that I wanted!  The birthday gift ended up being something good this year so I'm really excited.  In the past they've had a Sephora brand mini shower gel that smells like cake, a Sephora Brand mini makeup set that included a celery colored eye shadow, mini mascara, and mini eyeliner, and a set of 3 Sephora Brand mini lip glosses.  This year they're giving out a 6 oz bottle of the Philosophy Happy Birthday Beautiful shower gel.  This shower gel smells like yellow cake and I'm really happy that Sephora decided to step it up and give me something I'll actually use this year!

The last things I got today are my most exciting (to me) purchases.  I've loved my Macadamia Oil products and prefer the oil treatment to the Moroccan Oil brand but I wanted to switch to a sulfate free shampoo and I've heard such good things about the Moroccan Oil shampoo and conditioner that I couldn't hold out any longer and had to have it right then.  I got the little bottles because I wanted to try them out and see what I thought before I took the plunge and bought the liters.

While I was in my salon I noticed that the Moroccan Oil brand also sells a Deep Repair Masque.  I was anxious to try this and so I purchased it as well.  It was a little more expensive than the Macadamia brand but no complaints here.

I used all 3 of these last night and I am impressed.  It has a delicious clean scent that smells like a high quality shampoo (which it is) and it stays in your hair.  I kept pulling my wet hair in front of my face because I couldn't get enough of it.  I woke up this morning to very shiny hair.  I think the shine is the best part about it.  My hair feels so healthy and looks gorgeous.  I will be visiting my salon again in a week to get my hair done and I think I'm going to have to buy the big liter bottles of the shampoo and conditioner.  I am so happy I decided to buy this and I'm thinking the Macadamia Oil masque is going to have to go back to Ulta.  

So that was my Haul.  Please let me know if you'd like a more in depth review of any of the products mentioned.
