L-R: Hands Up (Sinful Colors Vanessa H collection), Space Glam (Essence Out of Space Stories), Grape Shifter (Insta-Dri), Purplexed (Miracle Gel)
I've told parts of this story in the last couple of weeks, already, but I started out looking at Ulta's website because I wanted Space Glam, in particular. Then I started thinking, well, I was already intending to buy my husband cologne as an anniversary present, I can just buy it from Ulta. I knew he liked this one because I had bought him the smaller size from Sephora once before. (I think that smaller one is cologne and the larger one that I bought this time is eau de toilette, but I didn't think he would care, particularly, and I seem to have been right.) Because of Mother's Day, there was a free tote bag with a qualifying fragrance purchase, and it apparently didn't matter if it was a men's cologne or women's as far as the gift is concerned. I ended up with a nice big sturdy denim bag that looks like it'll hold up for a while. And then there was another gift with a $75 purchase, which was a cosmetic bag and 22 samples, most of which were premium size. After the cologne and the one polish, I was practically to $75, anyway, so I - guess what - used the excuse to add another couple of polishes. I probably got a little carried away, as usual. (Purplexed, in particular, is awfully similar to things I already had, so I think I could have done without that one.)
For the record, this is John Varvatos Artisan Acqua eau de toilette, above - I had never heard of this brand until a year or so ago, and we only found it because of a Sephora sample.
The pink thing is the cosmetic bag - I think there was another choice, but I don't really remember what it looked like other than that I thought this one was cuter. And that's some of the samples you can see in that bag, but nere's another picture where you can see a little more of the contents.
