Who Knew High-End Was Hiding Here?
Say what you want about Sephora—our hearts belong with Ulta. Yes, you may find a more curtailed selection of luxury brands on Sephora’s shelves, but you won’t beat the wide array of products tucked away in Ulta. You have everything from luxury brands to drugstore names, and a lot of people just don’t know what treasures await!
1. Revlon ColorStay Lipstick
We’re starting strong with a trusted name in drugstore brands: Revlon. While you have dozens of products to choose from, our favorite is the ColorStay lipstick, a stunning selection of shades that stay put all day. Best of all, it’s one of the more affordable finds.

2. NARS Concealer
Remember what we said about high-end brands? NARS is a common choice in Ulta, and if we had to pick just one thing, it would be their concealer! It doesn’t matter how oily your skin is; this product doesn’t go anywhere, and it comes in a wide selection of matching tones.
3. Stila Eyeliner
Stila eyeliners have graced our peepers for years now, and we’re not hopping off the bandwagon anytime soon. If you need to top off a perfectly blended palette of shades, this black eyeliner won’t steer you wrong.
4. NYX Butter Gloss
NYX’s butter gloss lipsticks work in two ways: they have great color payoff, and keep your lips nice and moisturized. As a drugstore brand, they’re also one of the more affordable, giving you two birds for the price of one!
5. Benefit POREfessional Line
There’s nothing the POREfessional line can’t handle. Forget about the crowded (and frankly, overused) testers at Sephora and indulge in a fresh box from Ulta. Their primers and pore-clearing masks, in particular, are two items you can’t go wrong with.
