I'm a Beauty Expert, and Here's What I'm Buying at Ulta's Spring Haul Event

While Ardell Wispies and Duos are 40 percent off, I'm grabbing as many Ardell Lash Wispies #122 ($3, originally $5) as I can get my hands on. I love how natural-looking they are on the eyes while still making a statement.

I kid you not, the Wet n Wild PhotoFocus Liquid Foundation ($4, originally $6) is better than the majority of high-end base products I've tried. It always evens out my skin tone and covers any lingering redness or discoloration post (or during) zit. I used my last bottle up to the very last drop, so I can't wait to restock now that PhotoFocus foundations are 40 percent off.

My two-a-day large cup of java habit is becoming a little bit much for both my wallet and my body. Thankfully, the Winky Lux Coffee Eyeshadow Palette ($15, originally $25) is 40 percent off so I can at least swipe creamy shades of mocha and latte on my lids.

I tend to break out as the seasons change, and The Body Shop Tea Tree Skin Clearing Toner ($10, originally $14) always comes in handy. I'll be picking up a bottle while the collection is 30 percent off.

The best way for me to unwind is when soaking in a tub. I'm super excited that Ahava products are 25 percent off so I can pick up my favorite Eucalyptus Bath Salt ($17, originally $22). The bottle is filled with 100 percent pure salt from the Dead Sea, which is famous for its skin-enhancing minerals.

I have become fully obsessed with the easy-to-apply, highly pigmented Super Shock Pigments from ColourPop. With one sweep of my finger, I have a full eye look and can quickly apply mascara and head out the door. During the sale, the ColourPop Super Shock Pigments ($4, originally $5) are 20 percent off, prompting me to try out a few new colors.

I've been adoring a ton of Bliss's new product lineup, and went through my first tub of Bliss Mighty Marshmallow Mask ($11, originally $15) quickly. I love how it gently evens out my skin tone and fades discoloration — plus, it smells good.

I've long been a fan of Essence's pigmented shadows and cute packaging. Now that select palettes are a whopping 40 percent off, I'm going to pick up the Essence Never Give Up Your Daydream Eyeshadow Palette ($6, originally $10), which has the pastel hues I've been eager to experiment with this Spring.

At this point, I'm basically a body scrub connoisseur. I always have a tub in my shower to ensure my skin is smooth and soft, and never itchy from being dry. My favorite is the Soap & Glory Flake Away Body Polish ($8, originally $15), which (like the rest of the Soap and Glory line) is 50 percent off right now.

While Revlon face makeup is 40 percent off, I'm picking up a backup of the Revlon PhotoReady Candid Antioxidant Concealer ($6, originally $10) so I never have to go a day without it. Available in 15 shades, I love how it covers any sign of my terminal lack of sleep, while still looking natural on my skin. It's also packed with antioxidants to battle that pollution my home of New York City is famous for.

After an unfortunate encounter with a lot of bleach, my hair hasn't been the same. That's why I'm psyched to pick up the Maui Moisture Thicken & Restore Bamboo Fibers Fortifying Mask ($8, originally $9), which smells good enough to eat. It contains aloe vera, coconut water, and bamboo fibers to hydrate and strengthen your hair.

My favorite part about music festivals is the excuse to wear the most shimmery of makeup. I'm looking forward to trying a new shade of the Almay Make Them Jelly Hi-Lite ($9, originally $15), which is a jiggly gel that looks practically intergalactic on my cheekbones, while Almay is 40 percent off.

I have puny, baby brows. Nothing has beefed them up as quickly as the Wunder2 Wunderbrow ($13, originally $20) (which, along with the rest of the brand's products, is 40 percent off). I simply swipe it on my brows with the included brush and comb out with a spoolie for a much fuller appearance.

Is there anything more relaxing than a good sheet mask? Luckily during the sale, these babies are buy two, get two free. I plan on picking up a variety, including the Feeling Beautiful Detoxifying Charcoal + Sea Salt Sheet Mask ($2).

Because all L'oreal mascaras are 30 percent off, I'm stocking up on the L'Oréal Voluminous Lash Paradise Mascara ($7, originally $10), which always gives me extralong length and holds a curl all day. The pretty pink tube also looks gorgeous on my vanity.
