Used to be that BE used to sing the praises of no talc in any of their (powder) mineral products. Now it seems the new owners don't really care or think it's okay to use talc in their powders. Interesting.
As for buying products at Ulta that we buy here and on other sites, DH and I went to the local Ulta store and bought a mere 1oz of PTR Regenertaing Moisture Gel for $68 and a 10oz bottle of It's a 10 shampoo with keratin for him and paid $23.00. With tax he paid $96+. Ulta store is very convenient for us, only about 8 miles away, and it's HUGE.
After we got back home I did some digging around on various websites that I also shop beauty products for and found both items brand new, unopend at amazon.com for half the price, free shipping on one of the items and still cost me half of Ulta amount.
Needless to say I'm returning the 2 products back to Ulta store.
