1.) Palladio Rice Powder. I have heard a good deal about how awesome this stuff is, so I finally tried it. I tried it when I got home, and I already like it. It feels very smooth and I like the smaller case. It is finely milled and soft. I also like that it does banish the oil, but did not leave my skin 100% matte. I like a bit of a dewy finish because I think it looks more natural. The price is nice, too. It is under $4.
2.) Formula 10.0.6 Deep Down Detox Ultra Cleansing Mud Mask with orange, bergamot and kaolin. As I have said before, I am a sucker for face masks. I have never seen this brand, but apparently it has been around since 1933. This mask is supposed to cleanse, brighten, balance and energize the skin. Sounds exactly like what I need, so it better work. This mask was $5.99. I have it on right now and so far so good. It has a light citrus like scent, so light that some may not even detect it. This mask has a nice, lightweight feel and you can just feel it sucking the gunk out of your pores. It has not caused any stinging and I don't anticipate this mask irritating my skin.
3.) Formula 10.0.6 Blackhead Banishing Pore Strips with tea tree and kaolin. We all know how stuborn blackheads on the nose can be and I am hoping this will take care of mine. These are cheaper than the Biore strips by a couple of dollars and sounded more promising. Plus I wanted to stay in the same line as the mask. I like the shape of these more, too. They cover more of your nose.
4.) Paul Mitchell Super Skinny Serum. The Georgia heat and humidity is wrecking havoc on my hair. I bought a small bottle of this serum for $6 in the hopes that it will stop the craziness. It probably will not help much, but a girl can dream. Anyhow, this serum claims to "displace water and constrict hair" per the Paul Mitchell site. Sounds like what I need.
The new store also had a gift for reward card members. It is nice, but nothing too exciting.
A small bottle of Ulta lotion in Fresh Lilac, which seems nice. It left my skin feeling soft, but the scent just isn't for me. It is a bit too sweet. Also included was a tube of Ulta's Super Shiny Gloss in "Whisper." I have not tried it yet, but it looks like a light shimmery (maybe even frosty) pink. Up next are two products that I will never use: AG Stucco Matte Paste and Welding Paste. Then there is a sample of Lumene's Pure Radiance Day Cream. I see this brand a lot at other Ultas and drug stores, but I have never tried. I was a little but excited to see this.I was very impressed with the new Ulta in McDonough. The employees were very nice and they had a good selection of products. Lets just hope it stays that way.Form
