7 Best Ulta Beauty Finds Hitting Shelves This Week

Ulta and Sephora are both on my short list of stores and websites I hit weekly. My 9-year-old-going-on-16 daughter is obsessed with beauty and skincare, and forces me to spend much more time than I have pursuing the aisles for the latest product drops. This week, I noticed so many new items hitting shelves, ranging from holiday gifts (yes, it’s already time to start shopping) to new product lines and exciting new items. Here are the 7 best Ulta Beauty finds hitting stores this week.

My daughter is beyond obsessed with Sol de Janeiro and so are all her friends. This Mist & Mingle Cheirosa Mini Fragrance Gift Set is perfect for the person who can’t decide what fragrance to buy, as it comes with six travel-friendly scents: warm gourmand Cheirosa 62™, warm floral Cheirosa 40, fruity floral Cheirosa 68, amber floral Cheirosa 76, amber gourmand Cheirosa 71, and fruity gourmand Cheirosa 48. Get it for $48.00 before it’s gone, as I predict it will be a hot holiday gift.

Someone recently asked my about my favorite under-the-radar beauty brand. It is Dr. Althea, and this Pure Grinding Cleansing Balm is one of the standout products. The $22.90 taps into the viral cleansing balm trend but features an innovative built-in grinder to cleanse skin thoroughly. Ulta recently started carrying the brand, so try it now.

There are so many great gifts for under $20 at Ulta, including the Patchology Holiday Spirits Most-Loved Eye Gel Collection. The sampler comes with best-selling Patchology eye gels that hydrate, de-puff, brighten, and firm in just 5 minutes!

My daughter also turned me onto BYOMA, a great skincare line for people of all ages. If you want to try it out, the BYOMA Universal Skincare Heroes, just $25.00, has everything you need for a 5-step routine including a cleanser, toner, serum, moisturizer + SPF to hydrate, protect + support skin barrier function. It comes with the Creamy Jelly Cleanser (1.01 oz), Hydrating Milky Toner (1.01 oz), Hydrating Serum (0.5 oz), Moisturizing Gel Cream (0.5 oz), and Ultralight Face Fluid SPF 50 (0.34).

Hand sanitizer is still all the rage. This new Touchland Limited Edition Seasonal Power Mist Hydrating Hand Sanitizers just dropped in Spiced Pumpkin-Tini, Peppermint Mocha, Cinnamon Gingerbread, and Salted Caramel, $12 a pop.

My daughter is also obsessed with press-on nails. Kiss is our go-to brand as it applies easily and has major staying power. This set of Kiss imPRESS Design Halloween Press On Nails – The Creeps is adorable and glow-in-the-dark. At just $9.99 it makes a fun Halloween gift.

Drunk Elephant is still going strong. The Drunk Elephant Amino Rain Glasswater Serum, $58.00, is “an advanced hydration serum that awakens skin with a pop of opalescence, boosts luminosity over time, and firms and soothes skin for a glass-like finish.”
