If there’s one place that can convince me to try the latest and greatest Insta-famous beauty brands, it’s Ulta. The store is a perfect blend of higher-end brands I enjoy splurging on every once in a while and those affordable staples that never get old, like Maybelline mascara and Mario Badescu toner. But if the new Ulta drops for May 2019 are any indication, it looks like I’ll be experimenting a lot more than I’m used to. (Not that I’m complaining.)
For starters, there’s the can’t-miss, in-your-face debut of Uoma Beauty. Uoma means ‘beautiful’ in Igbo, the native language from South-Eastern Nigeria, and that’s also the best way to describe what’s being called the first “Afropolitan” line. The packaging is sleek AF and the products cover the gamut of everyday basics and special occasion finds. I’m personally all over the matte red lipstick inspired by one of my all-time faves, Sade Adu.
There’s also Bawdy Beauty, whose butt masks you’ve probably seen at least once on your Instagram feed, and a couple of new self-tanning products just in time for summer. Here’s a closer look at everything hitting shelves this month.
Bawdy Beauty.
Bawdy Squeeze It Butt Mask
The Insta-famous brand has finally made its Ulta debut and the choices (and price tag) don’t disappoint. If I had to choose between the four, I’m going with the yellow one because it’s got lemon for skin brightening, aka my number one goal for summer.
