You know it’s time for an Ulta splurge when something that just launched has already sold out. Per usual, there are too many new products that I have the budget for making their debut this month and the options touch literally every part of my routine, from hair cleansing to everyday makeup to body illumination, because self-tanner season has officially arrived. And of course, some brands are being sold in Ulta for the first time ever, making it even harder to keep our total purchase under a budget-friendly number.

I’ve also realized that most of the standout drops are pink. Like literally pink. More specifically, that millennial pink shade everyone “swore off” back in 2019 because it had become outdated and overused. I think we’re still just a little attached, even more so because it’s a color that just screams spring, along with other pastel shades we tend to gravitate toward as the warm weather makes an inevitable return. But if that weren’t enough, these pink products aren’t just nice to look at: they’re actually useful too. Personally, I’m most excited about Benefit’s Cheek Stars palette, frank body’s rose gold body scrub and the entire Authentic Beauty Concept range—I’m a sucker for minimalist packaging and vegan formulas.

But that’s just me. Chances are something else may catch your eye, like the very on-trend bridal hairpin set that’s already sold out. Keep scrolling to see the buzziest new products already on Ulta shelves or coming soon.

Everyone wants to get the most for their money – and that means everything, whether you’re buying a large item, shopping… or planning a travel experience! Some of us are still working full-time or part-time and some are retired. Regardless, each of us is looking to maximize our money to get what we want at the best value.

When it comes
to travel, here are five reasons you will find great value on a Road
Scholar learning adventure.

Experience Pays Off

With 45 years
of experience offering thousands of learning adventures in the U.S. and around
the world, Road Scholar has developed a loyal network of global partners and
works with those partners to negotiate the best possible rates for every aspect
of a Road Scholar learning adventure. As a result, participants get
behind-the-scenes experiences that would cost much more – or be difficult to
access – if you were to do it on your own.

Road Scholar Takes Care of the Details So You Don’t Have
To

There is peace
of mind in knowing that you don’t have to worry about planning your days. Road
Scholar’s expert lecturers and study leaders will bring you to must-see
destinations, explore in-depth topics and lead excursions and field trips that
bring local culture, history or learning to life. Every learning adventure
includes

• Most meals
• All lodging
• Tips and taxes
• Behind-the-scenes experiences
• Expert lectures
• Group expeditions and listening devices
• 24/7 emergency assistance

Special Offers – Free Airfare

Don’t let the
cost of getting to a particular destination prevent you from hitting the road
on a learning adventure. Road Scholar has a team dedicated to travel services
and can coordinate your air travel as well. And on select programs, Road
Scholar includes free air as part of the program cost. You can search through
the international, U.S. & Canada, and ship-based learning adventures that include
free air as a special offer.

Solo Travel for Older Women is Easier (and Safer!) Than
Ever

You want to
hit the road but may be hesitating because you’re heading out on your own. With
Road Scholar, traveling solo does not mean you’re traveling alone. And it
doesn’t mean you have to pay more for a single…you have options for single
rooms at no extra cost.

Road Scholar’s
programs are designed to foster camaraderie, from activities to meals and
everything in between. Thousands of travelers venture solo on a Road Scholar
learning adventure and learn something new – whether on a new topic or about
themselves – and make friendships that last a lifetime.

Programs with
no extra cost for singles include a nine-day Taste
of Costa Rica, almost two weeks on The
Best of Croatia aboard a floating classroom, choose your own pace Hiking in
Virginia and more.
 

Or you can
always opt to share a room. Just choose the roommate option and you will be
paired up with a roommate in a double room. Like in college, it’s very common
for roommates to end up lifelong friends!

Money Matters

Travel is an
investment in an enriching experience. Road Scholar requires a small deposit at
the time of enrollment and your final balance is due closer to your departure
date.

How often or
how much you’d like to pay in between that time is up to you. Some Road
Scholars have found it easiest to pay down the balance in smaller amounts as
they approach their departure.

Do you have
any fun travel adventures planned? Where are you going and with whom?

About Road Scholar: Road Scholar is the nation’s largest not-for-profit educational travel organization for adults. It offers 5,500 programs in 150 countries and 50 states, as well as financial aid for those who otherwise could not participate in its programs. Learn more at roadscholar.org

It feels like yesterday when it was impossible to find a new lipstick that wasn’t ultra-matte. Finally, that’s changing. Sure, we love a matte lip once in a while but who doesn’t like to have options? And maybe our lips need a rest. Now there are some of the best satin lipsticks that feel luxe and soft to the touch. There’s a little shine, a little buttery feel and a lot of pigment. These aren’t sticky and glossy but instead creamy with a bit more shine than a typical lipstick. It’s the best of both worlds.

Mix up your mattes with both bold shades and natural hues from some of your favorite brands. Prices run the gamut from E.L.F. and NYX Professional Makeup to Dior and Hourglass. There are options for everyone depending on your mood and they’re all great choices regardless of cost. That’s also a newer phenomenon. You can find amazing formulas at every price point so it’s an easy trend to jump into regardless of your budget.

Now, it’s true satin lipsticks don’t stay on as long as matte ones but you’ll actually want to reapply these. For example, BareMinerals Mineralist Hydra-Smoothing Lipstick contains cold-pressed European Sea Buckthorn fruit oil, Mediterranean olive oil and Moroccan Pomegranate extract to hydrate and nourish. It’s like an updated lip balm. In addition, E.L.F.’s ultra-affordable Srsly Satin Lipstick is cruelty-free, vegan and feels like butter.

Shop some of our favorite satin lipsticks below in a range of colors and formulas. They have one thing in common: a ton of shine and gorgeous color. You won’t be saying goodbye to your matte babies forever but at least they’ll take a break.

Kristin Cavallari’s Nude Purse in Italy

Very Cavallari Season 3 Episode 9 Fashion

While I love to see what the Real Housewives wear on vacation, Kristin Cavallari’s wardrobe in Italy was on a whole different level. She had a classy, sophisticated look for each and every scenario and I seriously cannot wait to see what she wears next week (some of which we’ve already posted on if you search under the Kristin Cavallari tab on our homepage).

I cannot get enough of this look. It is so hard to make a cutout look sophisticated, and this look does it on every level. And pairing it with this classic tan bag was truly the icing on the cake cannoli.
