Welcome back & if you're new here, welcome! So, I had seen a recent video from the Glamtwinz about a beginner friendly guide on spending $100 in Sephora & I thought that was really cool! So, I decided to put a different twist on it and compare what you could get spending $100 in Sephora vs. $100 in Ulta! I've shopped at both places enough to really figure out how far my money can actually go in both stores!! Also, it's really easy to get overwhelmed with all the different brands and products, so hopefully this can serve as a template of sorts for ya'll! So, if you wanna see how far $100 can go far Sephora vs Ulta, then just keep reading!
* For this post, I'm strictly focused on makeup because skincare and haircare in Sephora is pretty darn pricey, and Ulta has both high end and drugstore versions of both, so I wanted to make the playing field a little more even!
