Now that I’ve discovered Ulta Beauty, Iet’s just say that I won’t be VIB Rouge for 2016.

The range of brands (and more specifically, the price range) is just way more vast.

Like, I love my YSL blur primer. But if I didn’t get it in a VoxBox, I doubt I would have tried it. I mean I would have wanted to, but probably not enough to buy it. At Ulta, I found out that there is an NYX version of the same product for WAY less!

YSL Touche Eclat Blur Primer $52 | NYX Honey Dew Me Up Primer $8

I’m all for splurging, especially when it comes to makeup. But when it comes to products like primer (even a fancy blur primer with gold flecks…), that you’ll use on a daily basis, if you can save, why wouldn’t you?

I can think of a lot of other budget-friendly beauty buys that I could get with $44. Now that’s a HUGE difference!
