This year, the holidays are all about optimism and celebration for me. It doesn’t get better than reconnecting with friends and family after months apart—and nothing says “I’m back” like full-on glam. Whether I’m channeling a sparkly moment or opting for a bright, colorful shadow, this is the season to pick up a few beauty extras that will take my holiday look to the next level. And my go-to for all things glitter, glitz, and drama is always Ulta Beauty. I grew up in Chicago near the brand’s headquarters, and it’s been my beauty north star since high school. The options are endless, and I know I can find all the brands I love, exclusive holiday drops, and plenty of inspiration for the season ahead. Plus, you can’t beat that warm, nostalgic holiday feeling of a place you grew up with.
