Remember, the real villain is the kid who takes a couple grand, not the coach and school who make millions off that kid’s labor.

Never was a fan of warm milk... Mom always made her grandsons “kid’s coffee”: a lot of milk, sugar, and whipped cream with a dollop of coffee. When my nephews asked me for a coffee the other day I started to make a kid’s coffee and they were like “uuuuuuh, you know we’re old enough for actual coffee now, right?”…

I’m guessing this guy has a long line of ex-wives/partners and so has more than one child by more than one woman. She probably didn’t mention the near adult child as that kid didn’t live with him or have enough of a relationship with him that she was on the radar of the writer.

They don’t have perfect overlap, but enough people talk about going to “Ulta or Sephora” that they are competitors. This thread is full of people declaring their preference for one or the other, which is something that is only relevant for companies that are in competition.

You’re not an asshole, but you are being snobbish about what counts as prestige. For the vast majority of Americans, a $25 tube of lipstick is a luxury item.

Seriously? Tarte, Benefit, Cargo, Too Faced, Urban Decay, Butter London, Clinique, Jack Black... these are not good enough for you?

Agreed. I like Ulta better than Sephora precisely because they carry budget brands.

FYI while you can’t use all coupons on prestige cosmetics at Ulta, you can use points, your birthday $15 they give you, and some coupons (~5/year)

See, I like this model. I go there because I know I can get my Urban Decay and Benefit staples, and then walk over to the drugstore side and get my cheap mascara and face wash. Plus the points! I used to be a die-hard Sephora girl when I lived in NYC but once I moved upstate and realized what Ulta was, I’ve mostly…

I’m not comparing them to Target. Sonia Kashuk just happens to be carried at Target, and she is an example of the blurring line between mass/prestige - I’m talking about a broad trend in the beauty industry, not a specific comparison. I think that the design of their mass section still feels similar to a drug store,…

I like that they sell both. I can collect rewards and get discounts for the expensive stuff, and also get my daily cheap stuff there.

I also haven’t had the issue of shopping in Ulta with my minority girlfriends and having employees follow behind us everywhere, thinking my buddies are going to steal stuff. One of my best friends is black, and when we went to Sephora, one of the workers trailed three feet behind us everywhere. At my Ulta they just…

That’s why I like Ulta, though! I wear Smashbox primer and Cover Girl blush. I like that I can buy all my products in one location.

I love how helpful they are at Ulta.

Ulta has a VASTLY superior rewards program to Sephora, as they do a points system that actually gives you credit towards a purchase instead of Sephora’s dinky samples. I’ve actually been able to cash out Sephora points for Mega Rewards in the past, and I still think Ulta has a better system. If you buy a decent amount…

I like Ulta much better than Sephora.

Nobody cares about your boner.
