Ulta Is Now at Target & Moms Have One Less Place to Drag the Kids

by Karly WoodAugust 18, 2021

As much as we love online shopping, there are always time you need something NOW. When that happens, it usually means packing the entire fam into the car for a road trip of errands.

Now, moms have one less trip to make as Ulta is moving into Target! Starting this month, Ulta Beauty at Target is debuting at 100 Target stores and target.com with more than 50 prestige brands for cosmetics, hair, skin, body and fragrance.

While the initial roll out only includes 100 stores (you can see which locations here), Target plans to reach a total of 800 locations in the future. The “shop-in-shop” concept will be near the existing beauty section and will be packed with displays, discovery zones and seasonal items.

Not only that, but you can shop using both your Target Circle and Ultamate Rewards programs! Tack on your RedCard and you’re saving big bucks (plus, not having to drive to another store!).

If you’re not near a Target where Ulta will be moving, you can still grab what you need from Target.com using the retailer’s same-day delivery using Shipt.

17 Things We Love from Trader Joe’s (That You Can’t Eat)

by Karly WoodSeptember 30, 2020

We could wax poetically for hours about the amazing groceries we pick up at Trader Joe’s. From the creative packaging to one-of-a-kind finds, there’s no end to the love that is TJ’s. This time around, we turned down a different aisle to scour the shelves for amazing beauty and household items––and we were not disappointed. Keep scrolling to see some of the best non-food Trader Joe’s products you need to pick up on your next grocery run.

Personal Products

Supreme Hydrating Eye Cream

We could all use a little help when it comes to keeping bright-eyed. New in 2020, Trader Joe's Supreme Hydrating Eye Cream is packed with all the goodies: hydrolyzed marine collagen, Coenzyme Q10, Manuka honey, hibiscus extract, and almond, argan, rosehip & marula seed oils. At only $5.99 a tube, you simple can't go wrong.

Peppermint & Tea Tree Shampoo Bar

Ditch the plastic waste and pick up the new Peppermint & Tea Tree Shampoo Bar at your local TJ's. Each one is made from saponified oils like coconut oil, olive oil, and castor oil as well as jojoba, peppermint, tea tree, eucalyptus oils and dried mint leaves. Oh, and it's free from parabens or sulfates! Snag a bar for just $3.99.

Nourish Shower & Bath Cleansing Oil

Keep the dryness at bay this winter with Trader Joe's Nourish Shower & Bath Cleansing Oil with Almond Oil. For just $6.99 (a steal when compared with high-end stores) this version is made with a blend of sweet almond and grape seed oils, in addition to castor seed and sunflower seed oil.

Oatmeal Exfoliant Bar

Launched back in 2002, Trader Joe's Almond Ginger Scent Oatmeal Exfoliant Bar has recently undergone a packaging change to the more eco-friendly kraft paper (goodbye, plastic!). This luxuriously foamy soap is made in France and contains bits of colloidal oatmeal and the pleasant spa-like almond ginger fragrance. Snag a bar for just $2.99 in the beauty aisle.

Rose Facial Oil

A quality moisturizer with a lovely fragrance, Trader Joe's Rose Facial Oil is a steal at $5.99. While this product is not an anti-aging miracle maker, the non-oily or greasy formula makes it worth a try.

Shea Butter & Coconut Oil Hair Mask

Dry hair got you down? TJ's Shea Butter & Coconut Oil Hair Mask is here to save the day. The $4 tube contains shea butter and coconut oil (of course), in addition to argan oil and vitamin E to help tame frizz and leave your hair silky and smooth.

Blueberry & Açai Facial Scrub

Skip the pricey department store products and head to Trader's to snag a frosty jar of Blueberry & Açai Facial Scrub for only $5.99! It's made using U.S.-grown blueberries that have been frozen to maintain all those healthy antioxidants, colloidal oatmeal, shea butter, meadowfoam seed oil, and various plant extracts. Enjoy the scrubby alpha-hydroxy acids and rock that healthy glow.

Preserve Toothbrush

Made with recycled yogurt cups, these BPA-free Preserve Toothbrushes are an easy product pick up if you're out and about. The eco-friendly brushes are made with super soft bristles and are just $2.99.

Spray Sunscreen

Trader Joe's Spray Sunscreen SPF 50 won a coveted perfect score for the 2018 Consumer Reports Sunscreen Guide, and at only $6 for a can it is a must-buy. Each can comes with a locking cap and offers UVA & UVB protection, contains aloe, vitamin E and coconut oil. Did we mention it's also water resistant? Snag a bottle (or two) on your next Trader's visit.

Lavender Salt Scrub

Detox from a long day with Trader Joe's Lavender Salt Scrub that is made with almond, apricot and avocado oils. The 20 oz. jar holds the delicious-smelling salt-based formula that gets rid of dry and dead skin and is nice on the wallet at only $5.99.

Hand Sanitizer Spray

If you have kids, you can pretty much never have enough hand sanitizer! The next time you're making your grocery run, pick up a bottle of grapefruit and lemon scented spray from TJ's for just $1.99––your hands will thank you.

Laundry & Cleaning

Wool Dryer Balls

If you're looking for a more natural way to launder, then wool dryer balls are your best friend. Free from artificial fragrances and other chemicals, these bouncy guys help dry clothes faster and naturally soften and reduce wrinkles in your clothes––and can be used over and over again. You can pick up a bag of four dryer balls for just $5.49.

Liquid Dish Soap

The plant-based formula used in Trader Joe's Liquid DIsh soap is hypoallergenic and cuts through grease. The biodegradable product comes in a light citrus scent and is only $2.99 for a large 25 oz. size.

Multi-Purpose Cleaner

Trader's Multi-Purpose Cleaner is made with essential oils and is eco-friendly. The product boasts a streak-free formula that can be used on tons of surfaces throughout your home, is biodegradable and comes in a large 34 oz. size for just $2.99.

Household Goods

Waxed Cotton Food Wraps

Trader Joe's Waxed Cotton Food Wraps are the alternative to plastic wrap you've been looking for. The 3-pack of clothes comes in three sizes, are made in Tunisia and are 100 percent cotton infused with beeswax, jojoba oil, and pine resin. Use anytime you would normally use your single-use plastic wrap and enjoy this reusable product for just $8.99.

Greeting Cards

Perhaps one of the most underrated sections at TJ's are the greeting cards! For just $.99 each, you can stock up on tons of unique cards for every occasion without breaking the bank. Designs feature classic styles and plenty of whimsical and quirky cards that you can only find at Traders.

Grapefruit Scented Candle

Embrace the fragrance of spring and summer with Trader Joe's hand-poured Grapefruit Candle. For just $3.99, you can enjoy the natural soy-coconut wax and a lead-free wick at quite the bargain. Coming in a tin with a lid, take this candle with you whenever you go for om-worthy relaxation.
