Question 1

What did Serena Nicole buy in her $500 Ulta Beauty haul?

Accepted Answer

I picked up a mix of body care, skincare, makeup, and lashes—definitely a little bit of everything. There were restocks like my Sol de Janeiro SPF body spray and Benefit brow pencil, plus new stuff like Fenty’s brightening powder, multiple lip products, and a few skin tints. I also grabbed a full lineup from Medicube’s viral PDRN pink collagen line to test.

Question 2

Is the Sol de Janeiro Rio Radiance SPF 50 body spray worth it?

Accepted Answer

For me, yes—it’s been a summertime staple. It smells so good and it’s SPF 50, which is a combo I love. It is a bit pricey, but I’ve used it on multiple vacations and it really saved me.

Question 3

What is the Snif Vanilla Vice perfume like?

Accepted Answer

I’m a vanilla gourmand sweet type of girly, and Vanilla Vice is right up that alley. I got a sample in PR and loved it so much I went back for the big bottle. If you like sweet vanilla scents, you’d probably be obsessed.

Question 4

Did Serena Nicole like the Kylie Cosmetics lip liner in Cocoa?

Accepted Answer

The shade is gorgeous—a rich deep brown—but I was shook at how little product you get for $19. When I swatched it next to Morphe Trendsetter, they were damn near identical. You’re kind of paying for the Kylie name, so I’ll keep testing it and report back.

Question 5

Are the Maybelline Lifter Lip Liners good for deep lip combos?

Accepted Answer

I grabbed two shades: Let’s Bounce and Cross the Line because I’ve been seeing them all over TikTok in drugstore lip combos. Let’s Bounce pulled more mauvey than I expected, and Cross the Line is that deeper brown I was looking for. I’ll still use them either to line or in the center—y’all know I’ll find a way.

Question 6

What Medicube PDRN products did Serena Nicole buy at Ulta?

Accepted Answer

I picked up the PDRN Pink Collagen Capsule Cream, the PDRN pink collagen gel masks, the PDRN Pink Peptide Serum, and the PDRN pink niacinamide milky toner. Medicube coming to Ulta is a big deal, and I had to try the viral “salmon sperm” skincare for myself. I’m excited to see if it gives that glowy, healthy, radiant skin everyone’s been posting.

Question 7

Which skin tints did Serena Nicole buy and why?

Accepted Answer

I got the NYX Buttermelt Glaze soft glow skin tint in Toffee Butter and the Kylie skin tint in 8W. NYX looked really pretty when I rubbed it in, and I’m excited to see how it wears. The Kylie one runs a little warm/orange to me, so I want to compare it against other skin tints like NYX and e.l.f. to see what’s really tea.

Question 8

What lashes did Serena Nicole pick up at Ulta?

Accepted Answer

I grabbed a few styles because I’ve been wanting to switch it up and see what flatters my eyes best. I got Juvia’s Place Nubian Lash in Egypt and Egypt Light, plus two from Lilly Lashes—including a half-lash style to try that cat-eye effect. I’m still a lash glue girl no matter what the packaging says.
